The Girl and the Robot Kickstarter opens, has a chance of coming to Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Yesterday, a small indie team launched its “The Girl and the Robot” Kickstarter. The new game is a third-person, action-adventure title set in a fantasy world.
“The game brings the thrills of classic games such as The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Ico, and pairs them with the sense of wonder and adventure found in animated movies such as those from Studio Ghibli,” the project’s Kickstarter states.
Nintendo fans will be pleased to hear that the team plans to talk with the Big N about releasing The Girl and the Robot on Wii U. Nothing is set in stone, though I can’t see anything preventing a release on the system.
You can check out the official The Girl and the Robot Kickstarter here. $15,000 CAD needs to be raised by November 28. Over $3,000 CAD has been collected thus far.

Mojo Bones has some interest in Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Mojo Bones, developer of the upcoming 3DS eShop title Siesta Fiesta, has some interest in Nintendo’s latest home console.
Designer Stuart Ryall told Nintendo Life that that the studio is focusing on handhelds for the time being, “but Wii U is something we’d be open to exploring in future.” Siesta Fiesta “would translate well” to the system, he said. Still, Mojo Bones doesn’t have any immediate plans for Wii U.
Ryall said:
“We’re focusing strictly on handheld at the moment, but Wii U is something we’d be open to exploring in future. Siesta Fiesta’s mechanics would translate well to the Wii U so it would be something worth looking at if the 3DS version does well. No current plans though.”

Imagine Me confirmed for the Wii U eShop
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Another indie title, Imagine Me, has been confirmed for Wii U. KinifiGames hopes to have the platforming dungeon adventure – “Spelunky mixed with Zelda” – out on the eShop in February 2014.
Imagine Me will make use of the GamePad so that the dungeon map can always be displayed. The Wii U version could receive content updates to expand the game’s scope if Nintendo allows for it similar tot he PC version, KinifiGames says.
Imagine Me is Wii U-only in terms of Nintendo platforms. While KinifiGames founder Chris Figueroa is a big 3DS fan, it’s “not in the cards” for now.
Figueroa told Nintendo Life.
“I’d love to but right now that’s not in the cards. I’ve always loved my 3DS and if I was ever given the chance to bring Imagine Me or any game I make to 3DS I would.”

Jett Rocket II is just 70MB
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 2 Comments
Jett Rocket II: The Wrath of Taikai takes up just a tiny amount of space on an SD card. Developer Shin’en has confirmed via Twitter that the game clocks in at only 70MB.
The tweet reads:
Don't forget to make space for around 70MB on your 3DS for "Jett Rocket 2: The Wrath of Taikai"!
— Shin'en Multimedia (@ShinenGames) October 24, 2013
For a game that’s as technically-impressive as Jett Rocket II, that’s incredibly small!

Defender’s Quest very likely for Wii U and 3DS, creator looking into cross-buy support
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Defender’s Quest is looking very likely for both 3DS and Wii U. A 3DS version is all but confirmed, and creator Lars Doucet also confirmed on Twitter that has a Wii U dev kit.
@GamefaMahdi Very good chance! Just not ready to publicly commit ourselves to it 100%. I have a WiiU Dev kit next to me right now.
— Lars Doucet (@larsiusprime) October 23, 2013
Doucet also said he’s looking into the possibility of cross-buy support between Wii U and 3DS:
@GamefaMahdi I'm also trying to reach @Dan_Adelman and see if Nintendo supports WiiU / 3DS cross-buy.
— Lars Doucet (@larsiusprime) October 23, 2013
As far as cross-buy between Wii U and PC goes, the chances of that happening aren’t so high. It’s not something that should be expected, understandably.
@GamefaMahdi Will have to get back to you on that, but *probably* not… console stuff is tricky.
— Lars Doucet (@larsiusprime) October 23, 2013
Thanks to mahdi g for the tip.
