Yesterday, Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham shared on Twitter that the company once pitched a Game Boy Advance port of Demon’s Crest to Capcom. Nothing ever materialized from those early discussions though, as low sales of the SNES version didn’t warrant a port to the handheld.
Watsham also said that Renegade Kid “pitched a lot of things” to Capcom as well as Konami. But much like Demon’s Crest, talks did not progress too far.
Watsham’s tweets are as follows:
Little Known Fact: We pitched a GBA port of Demon's Crest to Capcom back in the day. They said the SNES version didn't sell enough.

No, we pitched a lot of things to Capcom and Konami over the years. Nothing landed. https://t.co/lhpqPJoC0S

Axiom Verge is making its way to Wii U, creator Tom Happ has announced. A release is planned on the eShop later this year.
Here’s a brief overview of the game:
Axiom Verge is a retro-style action-platform-exploration game done in a 16-bit style and was heavily influenced by games like Metroid, Contra, Blaster Master, and other classics, but with very modern design sensibilities. It also gives you power over glitches like those found in classic games, allowing you to scramble enemies, corrupt environments, and enter hidden areas as you explore this hostile alien world and uncover your role within it.
Axiom Verge features more than 40 weapons and tools, close to 100 upgrades, over 80 creatures, nearly 1,000 rooms, and six supported languages: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Brazilian Portuguese.
Happ suggested that a Wii U version of Axiom Verge would happen last June. As for 3DS, bringing it to that system would be “more difficult since the hardware is so completely different.”

Crystalline Green has teamed up with Drop Dead Interactive to bring Gear Gauntlet to Wii U.
For those who haven’t heard of Gear Gauntlet previously, it’s an “action packed, and sometimes rage inducing 2D action arcade game”. While playing, you’ll be dodging spinning blades, navigating labythinth mazes, and finding secret treasure chambers. You’ll also “race against the creeping wall of death across lava floes, under ice caverns, through twisted forests.”
Here’s one of the previous trailers for Gear Gauntlet:
