RCMADIAX has been known for its work on Wii U. But in 2016, the studio plans on adding the New 3DS as one of its supported platforms.

RCMADIAX stated the following earlier today:

There is one thing to keep in mind about today’s news. RCMADIAX games on New 3DS is probably a long ways off, as we won’t be seeing anything until Q4 2016 at the earliest.

@curbles Too early to talk specifics, earliest anything would be available is likely Q4 2016.

It’s not too often that an indie release comes around and blows my expectations out of the water. But with Runbow, it appears that the folks over at 13AM Games have successfully created a title worthy of being the exception. Bringing a new concept to the platformer genre is about as difficult as it gets, and it’s even harder to make it all work. Yet with Runbow, the developer has gracefully created a game filled with as much innovation as there is fun. Also, did I mention you get to play as Shovel Knight and Rusty?

PixlBit Studios has announced its first title “PixlCross”, which will soon be available on the Wii U eShop and other platforms.

PixlBit describes its new title as follows:

“PixlCross is a nonogram-style puzzle game (i.e. Picross) where you use hints to fill in a grid and reveal a hidden picture. Containing more than 150 puzzles across four levels of difficulty, players will start by solving puzzles on simple 5×5 grids, eventually taking on the challenging final puzzles on massive 35×35 grids! Each puzzle, no matter how large, can be solved without guessing – a common frustration for fans of the pen-and-paper puzzles.”

Players can slide along the grid to fill in or cross out grid boxes. Boxes count as you fill, and pop-out hints eliminate unnecessary scrolling. The game also makes use of an auto-scroll feature to make even the toughest challenges a bit easier.

Because PixlCross saves after every move, it’s possible to exit and return to puzzles at any time. There’s also a hint system that allows the game to be as easy or difficult as players see fit.

Aside from puzzles, PixlCross also features a Puzzle Editor. Players will be able to create their own puzzles and share them with the community through online connectivity.

We also have confirmation that the game will support off-TV play as well as Miiverse integration.

PixlCross doesn’t have a release date just yet. However, it’s already with Nintendo for certification, so it will probably be ready sooner rather than later.

Take a look at PixlCross’ trailer below.
