Snowcastle Games on why Festival of Magic is coming to Wii U, development progress
A portion of a Pure Nintendo interview with Snowcastle Games...
PN: What made Snowcastle Games decide to bring Festival of Magic to the Wii U?
SG: We always thought that Festival of Magic felt like a game that fit with Nintendo right of the bat. We are making a colorful, vibrant game that builds on tried and tested mechanics partnered with a great story and iconic characters. These are all things that are part of the great games we love from Nintendo, and made us want to see our game there as well!
PN: How far along is the Wii U version of the game?
SG: We have the game in it’s current state up and running on our dev kit. The WiiU version and the PC/MAC/Linux version are essentially identical visually. We’re currently thinking about and prototyping ways to use the gamepad intelligently.
