Coaster Creator 3D developer Big John Games is releasing one final title for the DSiWare service. Available tomorrow, Working Dawgs: Rivet Retriever is an action platform title that acts as a sequel to Working Dawgs: A-Maze-ing Pipes.
You’ll be playing as Ace in Rivet Retriever, and are tasked with avoiding obstacles as hazards while collecting as many rivets as possible. 20 different levels are included in the download.
Big John Games President Ken Patterson noted of the game’s release and decision to move on from DSiWare:
“As we move forward by developing games for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, we wanted our final DSiWare game to be a fun, affordable platforming experience that Nintendo fans would really enjoy. The exciting gameplay of Rivet Retriever is our way of saying ‘so long’ to the DSiWare platform.”
Big John Games’ website indicates that Working Dawgs: Rivet Retriever will be available tomorrow for $1.99 / 200 points.
Starfish announced today that Elminage Gothic: 3DS Remix will be released in Japan on July 11. Pricing is set at 6,090 yen. You can find a few new screenshots of the game in the gallery above.

CloudHead is open to bringing The Gallery: Six Elements to the Wii U.
The Gallery has made a name for itself through Kickstarter, where it quickly became one of Octulus Rift’s premiere games. CloudHead would consider bringing the game to the Wii U, though a few roadblocks may stand in the studio’s way.
Complexities exist in terms of how the Unity Engine is being utilized, so the team may need some extra effort – including time – to make The Gallery possible on the console. CloudHead would also need to pay for a couple of Wii U dev kits, and fundraising through Kickstarter isn’t much of an option at this point since the original campaign ended months ago.
Still, The Gallery: Six Elements is a possibility for the Wii U. Is it something you’d like to see?
