A portion of a NintendoGal interview with Colors! 3D creator, Jens Andersson...
NintendoGal.com: What were some of the challenges you faced when making this game for Nintendo 3DS?
Jens Andersson: I think the biggest challenge was to work through the online aspects with Nintendo. Nintendo is very focused on having user-friendly and safe devices, and while they very much want to see something like Colors! 3D on their device, they don’t want to compromise that. In some ways, I think I got to test the waters as we haven’t really seen much of this level of user generated content on Nintendo platforms before. That being said, they were incredibly supportive and helpful, and seemed to spend more time working with me on Colors! 3D than I expected them to spend on any eShop title.
NG: Lastly, does Collecting Smiles plan to develop any other applications or games on a Nintendo platform in the future?
JA: I hope so. I’d very much like to see Colors! on Wii U for example, but nothing has been decided here yet. Also, it seems like the eShop is quickly becoming a great platforms for smaller developers like me, so at some point I hope to develop some of the game prototypes I’ve been working on into full games and publish them there.

I think colors! Wii U would be a much better option.
the part in the trailer where the girl is drawing Link, almost put a close to a Draw app for the WiiU, and if it has as many (or more) tools than Colors, that would be a buy for me :3
yes please on wii u too ...... and nintendo should bring swapnote , flipnote , memo also
I would totally get Colours Wii U. Love it on my 3DS so far.
@Gold_Ultima This [though the UK and Europe have yet to get Colours! 3D, yet].
Agreed, I can't get enough of this app. XD
I think it would work even better on Wii U. Let's hope they actually do make a Wii U version.
"I think I got to test the waters as we haven’t really seen much of this level of user generated content on Nintendo platforms before."
Huh? He doesn't know about Flipnote Studio?
I guess when can all agree we'd like to see Colors on the Wii"U".
It makes sense that it goes to the Wii U next, considering it'll make perfect use of the tablet.
I haven't taken the plunge on Colors 3D yet, but I will soon. Looks like a nice little app with a bunch of new features. I was a huge fan of the homebrew version, so I believe it's time to show my support. Great interview.
