Axiom Verge will be heading to Wii U very soon. But could there be a chance of a 3DS version as well? Possibly.

Creator Tom Happ says he’s investigating a potential 3DS port at the moment. However, there are some technical challenges that would need to be taken into consideration. For one thing, Axiom Verge was originally made to run at a 1280×720 (720p) resolution. Shader effects are also used which require more than what the 3DS offers. Happ did note that these aspects would not necessarily be insurmountable.

A brand new trailer has come online for Nefarious. We’ve included it below.

4colorrebellion also spoke with Josh Hano, creator of the project. Hano shared an update on the Wii U version, telling the site:

That’s a tricky question to answer at the moment. Namely due to Nintendo’s lotcheck process, something I’ve seen other game devs go through. Even with a complete game, it can take some time to get Mario’s nod of approval. But I can say we do have our Wii U dev kit fired up and ready to go. We’ll likely dedicate a few updates entirely to that process. Fortunately our team has gone through the process before with Tadpole Treble so we know what to expect.

It was announced today that Road Redemption has now sold over 100,000 copies. But in the same note, it was stated the team is reevaluating Wii U support “in light of the upcoming Nintendo NX.”

Road Redemption was confirmed for Wii U back in 2013. But earlier this year, DarkSeas cast doubt about an eShop release happening. The developer later said that it was “still actively pursuing Wii U development,” though today’s news makes the situation unclear once again.
