Moon Chronicles

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments

Moon Chronicles is only on 3DS at the moment. But perhaps that could change with a Kickstarter campaign.

While the studio was burned by its Kickstarter efforts for Cult County, Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham asked fans on Twitter today about potential games they’d like to see take the crowdfunding approach. This led to the idea of a Kickstarter campaign for Moon Chronicles on Wii U, which Watsham finds “interesting”.

He said on Twitter:

Moon Chronicles: Episode 1 has been out in North America for quite some time now. Renegade Kid won’t be bringing the standalone release (or other episodes) to Europe, but the studio has confirmed plans to bring over the entire package as a single download.

All four episodes of Moon Chronicles are targeted for a Q4 release in both Europe and Australia. By bringing out a single game, Renegade Kid will only need to undergo one set of ratings procedures with PEGI, USK and OFLC for PAL regions.

ON THIS EPISODE: What we played? Moon Chronicles makes up most of the new games we’ve run through this week, but Squids Odyssey makes a brief appearance as well as some discussion of a book on game criticism by Ian Bogost titled “Unit Operations”. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze makes its return as Austin laments the lack of attention the game gets (given how incredible he says it is), and Super Mario 64 becomes the catalyst for a discussion about when bias becomes too strong to ignore.

PLUS: A mid-segment this week about our memories of the now-dead Nintendo Wifi Connection, plus some short discussion about Hyrule Warriors.

AND: Complaint Corner makes its return because Austin is extremely upset about the way some people analyze or perceive games; he thinks game critics still have a long way to go before coming into their own. Listener mail about a variety of topics rounds out the ending!

ON THIS EPISODE: We’ve got some new Nintendo-platform games to talk about this week! First off, though, Laura tells us about the actually-not-terrible DLC for Disney Magical World and the crew discusses the online play of Mario Kart Wii and why sometimes no-communication can be cool. Then, Jack gives us his impressions of the new Wii U eShop game Scram Kitty and His Buddy on Rails, and Austin walks us through the first hour or so of Moon Chronicles on 3DS.

PLUS: Nintendo creates every Mario Kart game from scratch, and lately they’ve taken it upon themselves to really put a ton of work into very minor details. Is this strategy good for them, or would it be more beneficial for them (or for us as gamers!) if they put out titles more quickly with less of these details/polish?

AND: A bit of listener mail wraps up the show, as always. Some questions about Nintendo merging consoles and portables for their next system(s), as well as talking about what old Nintendo franchises should be revived. (hint: bring back Project H.A.M.M.E.R.)
