Cave Story 3D came out in North America last year, but it hasn’t been released in Japan yet. Maybe it’s worth the wait.

New findings indicate that Tantalus Media has commenced development on a Wii U port of an unannounced AAA title. The discovery comes from the LinkedIn profile of Graeme Webb, a programmer for the company.

It seems as though the project just started development last month. Something that could be related are job openings on Tantalus’ website, which also opened up in June. They relate to “an exciting Next-Gen AAA title”.

Thanks to Emily Rogers for the tip.
