Another Potential eshop Title!



We have caught wind of yet another Kickstarter campaign for a title which might be coming to Nintendo's consoles!

Rex Rocket is a 2D platformer which needs $6,000 worth of funding to get made and it has already received over $2,500 of that total with 27 days still remaining on its Kickstarter campaign.

Developer Rob Maher has told Nintendolife in a recent article that if the game receives sufficient funding, it will be coming to the Wii U and 3DS!



The game is expected to be released in January 2014. Here is the description from the game's Kickstarter page:

"Inspired by the retro glory days of 8-bit games, Rex Rocket is a traditional 2D platformer brought into the 21st century. Paying tribute to classic NES games like Mario, Mega Man, and Metroid, old-school gamers will find Rex Rocket a breath of fresh air, stirring warm and fuzzy feelings of nostalgia.

Rob and Tyler, two passionate indie game devs, have a mission to keep the world of retro games alive. Rex Rocket features one-of-a-kind handmade pixel art, over 100 handcrafted levels connected in an expansive starship filled with a wide variety of puzzles, enemies, hazards and bosses. To top it off, we have an an original, kick-ass chiptunes soundtrack by Saskrotch. Creating this universe and the memorable characters in this game has been a true labor of love."
