Zoink has discussed the decision to bring Zombie Vikings to Wii U – and hinted at possible New 3DS port.
In a recent interview, founder Klaus Lyngeled said that interest from Nintendo fans as a big reason why the studio will be releasing its new game on the eShop. He additionally mentioned interest in releasing Zombie Vikings on New 3DS along with Stick it to the Man.
Lyngeled’s comments in full:
“Every time we’re out on the social media, and we mention Nintendo, there’s a huge following and they’re so devoted. I feel like we have to do a Nintendo console too, they’re supporting the game community and care about gameplay. With this game, since we’re doing hardcore gameplay, I want to make sure these guys try it and see if they like it since they know their s**t. That’s why I’m releasing it on Wii U, but I’d like to release it on the 3DS as well, but unfortunately our engine doesn’t support the 3DS yet. Now that the New 3DS supports Unity, we might be able to do something in the future, we’ve talked about Stick It To The Man for the New 3DS which I’d love to do. We’d love to release it this year in December, and we want to focus on playing it on the normal Wii Remote so four people can play it simultaneously. I’m not sure we’re going to support the GamePad because it may not make sense, it’s more important to play it with four players.”

More Dragon Quest VIII videos are emerging from Japan now that the game has launched in the region. We have one below that compares the loading times up against the PlayStation 2 version. It seems as though the 3DS takes a bit more time to load things, but it doesn’t seem to be a massive bump up in time.
