Former Arkedo dev looking to bring F-Zero-esque title “The Next Penelope” to Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Arkedo co-founder Aurelien Regard is currently working on “The Next Penelope”. It’s a retro racing title that seems to take inspiration from the likes of F-Zero.
The Next Penelope is being built with the Construct 2 engine, which the Wii U supports. Wouldn’t that make it a perfect fit for the eShop? At the very least, Regard appears to be interested…
@GoNintendoTweet Hi GoNintendo! Thanks for your message! :)
I'm talking with other studios about the WiiU port. I'm trying to find a way!

Renegade Kid could bring Moon Chronicles to Wii U if the 3DS version is successful
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Moon Chronicles could eventually make its way to the Wii U, depending on how successful the 3DS version is.
Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham told NintendoWorldReport that the studio has considered the shooter for Nintendo’s hardware, but it “would only happen if the 3DS version is a runaway hit”. The company would need to be able to “afford to invest in a complete visual upgrade to take advantage of the increased graphical power offered by the Wii U.”
Watsham’s comments in full:
Our thoughts have always been primarily on the 3DS version, but we have discussed a Wii U version. That is something that would only happen if the 3DS version is a runaway hit so we could afford to invest in a complete visual upgrade to take advantage of the increased graphical power offered by the Wii U.
