Axiom Verge will be heading to Wii U very soon. But could there be a chance of a 3DS version as well? Possibly.
Creator Tom Happ says he’s investigating a potential 3DS port at the moment. However, there are some technical challenges that would need to be taken into consideration. For one thing, Axiom Verge was originally made to run at a 1280×720 (720p) resolution. Shader effects are also used which require more than what the 3DS offers. Happ did note that these aspects would not necessarily be insurmountable.
