LEGO Marvel Super Heroes is featured in this month’s Game Informer as the magazine’s cover story. Warner Bros. seems to be keeping some aspects under wraps, as actual gameplay details remain a bit vague and screenshots weren’t included.

Once Renegade Kid wrapped up development on Dementium II, the studio was searching for a new DS project to take on. Finding a title that publishers would take interest in wasn’t so easy, however.
And thus Renegade Kid turned to sales data. While the studio knew a particular genre wouldn’t necessarily lead to success, according to Renegade Kid’s Jools Watsham, “it at least shows you where audiences have existed”, suggesting “at least suggests they may still exist.”
A couple of genres popped out – racing titles and virtual pet games. Based on its research, Renegade Kid did decide to make a concept for a pet title at one point. Ultimately the pitch wasn’t picked up.

So it feels like it’s been a long time in the same way. But between the original Game Boy and Game Boy Color, and moving up into the DS now, it’s always had that change. There’s never been a conscious decision to reboot, it’s just a decision to try new things and express the world in a new way.”
A few key Retro Studios staffers left the company in 2008 and went on to form Armature Studio. Since then, it has only produced one game – Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for Vita.
It wasn’t all quiet for Armature over the past four years, however. Armature worked on a few now-canned projects, like “a military FPS game for the Nintendo Wii system” that was in development in late 2009. I wonder what that would have been like…
