BLOK DROP U is just the start of RCMADIAX’s support for the Wii U eShop. Additional projects are in the works for Nintendo’s digital store, including “Super Robo Mouse”.
RCMADIAX’s Michael Aschenbrenner shared the following information about the game while speaking with Always Nintendo:
This title is still early in development, but I can share a few basic details. You assume the role of a robot mouse that must get through the maze to the end goal. The goal at the end is locked and you must collect “Titanium Cheese” game pieces in order to unlock the goal. During your journey you will come across many obstacles including enemies and big bosses. You could say it falls in the puzzle platformer category. I am currently working with a professional artist to give the title a premium look and feel. I hope to have more information to share in mid-February about this title and would like to launch in Q2 2014.
Aschenbrenner says his “short term goal is to work on Wii U content exclusively.” At the moment, he’s working on free updates for BLOK DROP U as well as four projects, “of which 3 will remain Wii U exclusives”.
Klon is bringing out two new Impregnable Romance of the Three Kingdoms games on the Japanese 3DS eShop next week. Each contains tower defense gameplay and allows players to control a series of generals.
Impregnable Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Great Warfront of Wei and Impregnable Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Defender of Wu and the Large River will be available on January 29. Pricing is set at 500 yen each.
Super Mario Bros. Deluxe may not be launching on the European 3DS eShop in the middle of February as originally expected.
Nintendo initially listed the title for release on February 12 on an official page. Since then, however, it has been updated to “TBA”.
I still think we’ll be seeing Super Mario Bros. Deluxe on the European eShop in mid to late February due to the Nintendo Network Promotion, but we’ll just have to wait and see.
Nintendo is doing something a bit new with the release of Bravely Default in North America. Game owners will find that the packaging comes with an “Also Plays on 2DS” sticker. If nothing else, it should prevent any potential confusion for the more mainstream consumer that the game can be played on both a 3DS and 2DS.
Moon Chronicles is an interesting project for Renegade Kid. The game’s first season will be a remake of the original DS game, while season two will offer a new experience entirely.
Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham explained on Twitter earlier today why the team decided to remake the original Moon before moving on to the actual sequel. He said:
@GoldMetalSonic The original DS game had a fairly limited release. But, it was received very well. Seems a shame to deprive new players. 🙂

Brownie Brown founder Shinichi Kameoka left the company, now known as 1-UP Studio, and went on to form “Brownies” in March of last year.
Kameoka described 2013 as a “very blessed year of development and releases” while speaking with 4Gamer last month. Before leaving Brownie Brown, he worked on Fantasy Life Link for Level-5, and then helped create “Shooting Hero” – Brownie’s debut title on iOS.
As for 2014, Kameoka teased that Brownies is working on “a little epic adventure”. While there’s no sort of guarantee that it will wind up on a Nintendo system, we’re certainly hoping the possibility exists given Kameoka’s previous projects.
