In an extremely close call, Popup Dungeon’s Kickstarter has reached a grand total of $102 455 with PayPal backers meaning that it is now officially coming to Wii U. Enrique Dryere of Triple.B.Titles had this to say about the final total:
“Thank you, everyone,“Thank you, thank you, thank you! We never expected to reach $100,000, but thanks to your help and support, we’ve made it, and we’ll be doing everything we can to bring you a Wii U version as fast as possible.”
“I can’t describe how much this means to us. You’ve made it possible for us to live our dream, and in return we will give you the best game we can possibly make. We’ll be working as hard as we cane, day and night, to bring Popup Dungeon to you as quick as possible. Well, most of us will be working hard…”
“I truly hope our game will live up to all of your expectations.”
Being a port of the PC version, the developers hope to get the release out sometime in 2015 at the earliest. It will be an eShop release with some bonus features exclusive to the Wii U.
Today’s screenshot and caption are… Well, just great:
Under certain circumstances, the creatures on this planet appear to grow larger and go berserk. The Pikmin and I must be cautious lest we lose our heads to these beasts.
North America have only just got access to Photos with Mario, but if you’re curious as to what’s in store, GameXplain have already uploaded some footage for you to check out.
Update: Added in online versions that can be printed out and used with the app (via AR Cards Database, thanks choco!). These also include Koopa Troopa, Luigi, and Bowser images.
Photos with Mario is out now on the North American 3DS eShop (despite an odd July 9th, 1981 release date listing). Previously, the software launched in Japan in April of last year.
Photos with Mario is an application that allows users to take pictures with characters from the franchise. It can only be used with special-edition $10 Mario, Peach, and Goomba eShop cards.
You might be wondering: how exactly does one obtain one of these cards? I may just be blanking out here, but as far as I’m aware, Yoshi is the only character featured on a $10 voucher. Perhaps the original Mario, Peach, and Goomba cards will be released in the near future? They’ll supposedly be sold at Target (if they aren’t already available).
Thanks to Raul and oscar for the tip.

Everyone’s favorite pink puff has finally returned in his first adventure on the Nintendo 3DS, Kirby: Triple Deluxe.
Out of the box, Triple Deluxe consists of three gameplay modes: Story Mode, Kirby Fighters, and Dedede’s Drum Dash. The Story Mode is straightforward: Dreamland is in danger, and it’s up to Kirby to save the day. This time, a mysterious new villain has uprooted Kirby’s home with massive magical vines and sent everything sky-high! Players navigate Kirby through many levels in seven worlds as he makes his ascent to the top of the menacing entanglement.
ON THIS EPISODE: We’ve got some new Nintendo-platform games to talk about this week! First off, though, Laura tells us about the actually-not-terrible DLC for Disney Magical World and the crew discusses the online play of Mario Kart Wii and why sometimes no-communication can be cool. Then, Jack gives us his impressions of the new Wii U eShop game Scram Kitty and His Buddy on Rails, and Austin walks us through the first hour or so of Moon Chronicles on 3DS.
PLUS: Nintendo creates every Mario Kart game from scratch, and lately they’ve taken it upon themselves to really put a ton of work into very minor details. Is this strategy good for them, or would it be more beneficial for them (or for us as gamers!) if they put out titles more quickly with less of these details/polish?
AND: A bit of listener mail wraps up the show, as always. Some questions about Nintendo merging consoles and portables for their next system(s), as well as talking about what old Nintendo franchises should be revived. (hint: bring back Project H.A.M.M.E.R.)
This Week’s Podcast Crew: Austin, Jack, and Laura
