WaterMelon considering Pier Solar for 3DS, aiming for April release on Wii U, future platform support
A portion of a Nintendo Enthusiast interview with WaterMelon’s President Tulio Goncalves...
NE: Have you considered making use of any of the hardware’s unique features?
Tulio: On Wii U, we’re definitely putting the second screen to good use, a feature that will be exclusive of that platform — well, maybe not for long if we end up making it to the 3DS, but that’s for later. We planned a few functions for the second screen that will add to the gameplay; I’m sure the Wii U players will enjoy them. We’re hoping to release the game in April.
NE: Once development is complete, what’s on the cards next for you? Anymore Nintendo support?
Tulio: We do have two brand-new games coming up soon born from the Magical Game Factory: Project Y for Sega Genesis and Project N for SNES. We want to see both projects made for the modern consoles as well. Besides the working projects we have many other game concepts to explore for the years to come, both for retro and modern platforms alike!
