Super Icon hopes to have Vektor Wars on Wii U in 2-3 months, next game is Best Buds VS Bad Guys
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Super Icon just released Life of Pixel on the North American Wii U eShop this past Thursday. The studio is also planning on bringing Vektor Wars to Wii U, which is targeted for release in 2-3 months.
Vektor Wars is “an 80’s neon future inspired first-person cyber shooter.” It features arcade shooter gameplay, nine worlds to liberate, and more.
Super Icon is also working on its next new title called “Best Buds VS Bad Guys”. We don’t have official confirmation about it coming to Wii U just yet, but Super Icon is a big fan of the console, and more games are planned for the system.
Here’s the rundown on Best Buds VS Bad Guys from Super Icon:
Best Buds VS Bad Guys is a pixel platform game based on the bond between two best buddies. The idea came about from my son, Lucas and myself – we call each other Best Bud in real life, and we both thought it would be fun to create a game where we have to battle bad guys in a computer world.
This is even more significant as Lucas has Asperger’s, and he wanted to tell and show people how working together as a team means you can overcome difficulties and be successful. it is about good over evil, about friendship, overcoming difficulties, showing you can make a difference! All presented in a beautiful 16-bit classic arcade machine art style, with a thumping good chip-tune soundtrack.
And as it is a Super Icon game, there will be plenty of references to arcade classics such as Ghosts’n Goblins, Green Beret, Bionic Commando, Black Tiger and loads more!

Axiom Verge “probably” hitting Wii U next year, 3DS more difficult
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Axiom Verge creator Tom Happ has revealed that the title is “probably” making its way to Wii U next year. 3DS, meanwhile, would be “quite a bit more difficult since the hardware is so completely different.”
As stated by Happ:
I can’t commit to anything, but Axiom Verge will *probably* be available for Wii U in 2016. 3DS is quite a bit more difficult since the hardware is so completely different. Should Nintendo be reading this and decide to lend me a hand, that’d be VERY appreciated!!
The major roadblock preventing Axiom Verge on Wii U is all on the technical side. The game was built with the MonoGame engine, which is something that Nintendo’s console doesn’t seem to support currently. Porting Axiom Verge to C++ was one option in bringing Axiom Verge to Wii U.

Armikrog hitting Wii U “substantially later” so the dev can use the system’s features
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
Armikrog’s official launch is slated for August. In the case of Wii U, however, it shouldn’t be expected anytime soon.
Pencil Test Studios has said that Armikrog will be arriving on Wii U “substantially later” than the game’s other versions. That’s because the team wants to use the console’s different capabilities, including the GamePad. Pencil Test also didn’t want to send out an identical port.
