Rain Games on the reception of Teslagrad as part of an interview with Nintendo-Okie. According to the developer, they’re “very happy with Teslagrad‘s performance, the vast majority of reviews were very positive and the audience reception has been great.” It was also mentioned that the game is sitting at roughly 1.6 million copies in total, and it “sold surprisingly well” on Wii U “considering the smaller install base”.

Next up for Rain Games is the company’s brand new project World to the West. Regarding potential platforms, the studio would only tease the following:

We’re definitely aiming for a multi-platform release and it will definitely be released in the future- We’re keeping a bit mum on the subject of which platforms it will launch on first- there’s some new hardware coming up, too, so that’s exciting. who knows, maybe it’ll even release on that (sly look)

Nintendo’s new Developer Portal just went online – this website serves as a hub for everyone wanting to develop games for Nintendo platforms (i.e. Wii U and 3DS, there’s no NX info on the site, as expected). The Developer Portal welcomes developers of all sizes – from big companies to one-person indie devs. Previously, Nintendo had separate programs for “big” developers and for indies. The website and program are currently available in both English and Japanese.

The website offers developers help on all the steps involved with releasing a game on Nintendo platforms – development tools such as Unity, self-publishing, PR and so on.

Four Horses made it known recently that Digger Dan DX had been pulled from the 3DS eShop. An unfortunate situation had developed, and First Star Software (owner of the Boulder Dash rights) asked Nintendo for its removal. Many had thought that Digger Dan DX would be gone permanently, but it looks like that won’t be the case at all.

Here’s the latest from Four Horses:

I am happy to announce that I received an immediate response from First Star Software, Inc. having contacted them on Sunday, and we have already settled this issue to our mutual satisfaction. (In fact I’m thrilled with the terms.) I hope to get Digger Dan DX back on sale as soon as possible though, due to the re-submission processes with Nintendo, this may take a few months. Hopefully much less. (I don’t know yet.)

Definitely good to hear that it’s all been settled! When Digger Dan DX does return to the eShop, you’ll be the first to know.

Earlier this year, Back in 1995 released on Steam. The indie game was created as a love-letter to the survival horror and mystery experiences from the PlayStation days. In the game, players “uncover the mystery surrounding the disappearance of your daughter, the catastrophe that shook the city, and why you’ve decided to finally return.”

Here’s a trailer for the original release:

It’s now been confirmed that Back in 1995 is making its way to 3DS, and it’ll be shown at BitSummit this weekend. The new version will be called “Back in 1995 64”. On the lower screen, you’ll see a Virtual Game Console. Sometimes irregularities will occur which will hamper the gameplay on upper screen, such as cables getting loose or cartridges needing to be re-inserted, reminding people to things that actually often happened 20 years ago.

On another note, Back in 1995 64 is planned to be compatible with the whole 3DS series. However, there’s a a precaution that it might end up only supporting the New 3DS.
