Armikrog originally launched last September, but we haven’t heard too much about the Wii U version. Yet despite the lack of updates, the developer is still working with Nintendo’s console, and said in a recent Kickstarter update that “Wii U development is going great.”

Pencil Test Studios mentioned the following:

Overall the Wii U development is going great. We’re still working out a few technical issues resulting from the conversion of the game from PC to the console, but the main focus has been on getting the controls to work smoothly. We’re also updating some artwork to improve the look and allow things to run more efficiently on the Wii U. We don’t have a release date yet, but we’ll let you know as soon as we do.

When there’s more news about Armikrog on Wii U, we’ll have it right here on the site.

Retro Sumus has taken to Kickstarter in hopes of funding Xenocider, an on-rails 3D shooter which takes inspiration from the likes of Galaxy Force and Sin & Punishment. If successful, the project will be made for a number of platforms such as 3DS.

Xenocider needs $92,000 to reach its goal. With four weeks remaining, a little over $16,000 has been raised thus far. A Wii U stretch goal also awaits at $170,000.

Take a look at Xenocider’s pitch video below. You can visit the Kickstarter page here.

RCMADIAX has now announced via its Twitter account that Project Fist has been cancelled. The explanation simply states that the indie developer has “decided not to go forward with a project of that size.”
