TreeFall Studios’ 2D platformer Gem Collector may come to Wii U. The indie developer confirmed on Twitter today that it’s something being attempted at the moment. If TreeFall is able to figure things out, Gem Collector will come to the eShop sometime in the future.
@PBZReviews I am trying to port that one actually! It is kind of difficult, if I can figure it out, then it should be easy from there! 😀

Epic Minds’ 2D action-adventure title Midora is coming to both Wii U and 3DS following a successful campaign on Kickstarter. Earlier today, the total amount raised surpassed $60,000, which was the project’s goal.
Midora’s Kickstarter does have platform-specific stretch goals (including a $80,000 goal for Wii U/3DS), though they are unlikely to be met as less than two days remain the crowdfunding campaign. However, Epic Minds has already confirmed that not reaching these goals shouldn’t cause any issues. Not hitting them simply means that Midora will be brought to additional platforms slightly later.
You can find Midora on Kickstarter here.
Yet another Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire scan has appeared from this month’s CoroCoro. The magazine confirms that Mega Diancie can use the “Magic Bounce” ability.
Meanwhile, we’re also hearing that next month’s CoroCoro will have a “Mega Evolution Scoop”. The magazine will release on August 12.
Bandai Namco has issued an official response regarding Project CARS’ delay on Wii U.
We learned earlier today that the racer won’t be arriving on Nintendo’s console until 2015. The PS4, Xbox One, and PC versions are still due out in November of this year.
Bandai Namco’s statement reads:
Over the past few weeks, Capcom has been highlighting creatures from Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. The latest, Kecha Wacha, was featured in a Capcom-Unity blog post today.
You can find screenshots and art of Kecha Wacha above. Check out some excerpts from the post below and find the full thing here.
Moon Chronicles is only on 3DS at the moment. But perhaps that could change with a Kickstarter campaign.
While the studio was burned by its Kickstarter efforts for Cult County, Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham asked fans on Twitter today about potential games they’d like to see take the crowdfunding approach. This led to the idea of a Kickstarter campaign for Moon Chronicles on Wii U, which Watsham finds “interesting”.
He said on Twitter:
I'm not in a hurry to do another kickstarter, but if we did, what would you guys like to see us kickstart? Can't do Dementium. Please RT.

We have had quite a few requests for Moon Chronicles on Wii U as a kickstarter campaign. Interesting! Anyone else like this idea?
