Got this in my inbox this morning:

Dear customers,

we are glad to announce that we are now a licensed Nintendo developer.

Our first project is porting Gunlord to the 3DS and Wii U platforms.

We decided for an Indiegogo campaign to make sure we reach as much people as possible. We don't have a marketing agency so the help of community to spread the word will be vital.

So thanks in advance for any help

The campaign can be found here:

http://igg.me/at/gunlord

These new platforms will hopefully help us to gain higher budgets for our NEOGEO projects too, so we can reach SNK/Nazca quality

Best regards,
NG : DEV . TEAM

GunLord information for those who haven't heard of it:

Good news is good.

Dascu · Sep 3, 2013

Wooow, this is pretty damn awesome news. Finally a chance to play this game without the hassle.

rvy · Sep 3, 2013

Totally deserved.

dark10x · Sep 3, 2013

It's a little rough around the edges but I genuinely enjoyed the game on Dreamcast. Great soundtrack too.

abstract alien · Sep 3, 2013

Wow, that's an SNES game it I ever saw one. Intriguing...

kevm3 · Sep 3, 2013

It's cool it's coming to the Wii U and 3ds, but I don't understand why they are not releasing this on PC as well.

Deleted member 125677 · Sep 3, 2013

Awesome! How did the game do on Dreamcast anyway? That was a bit crazy in 2012 tbh

Yes Boss! · Sep 3, 2013

3DS, wow.

Incredible game. One of the best of the last couple of years. Gonna look insane on the 3D screen.

Also: more shmups to 3DS hopefully.

Android18a · Sep 3, 2013

For some reason I'm getting an Apogee vibe from this.

Tenki · Sep 3, 2013

If the price is right, I'll buy it day one.

Recently, Steel Empire got announced for eShop, and Kalos got reconfirmed for January 2014. Both announcements just for Japan, so far.

They make a lot of money off the Dreamcast/Neo Geo releases. Enough that they're cranking out 1+ per year at this point.

Critically, it was well received.

Ban Puncher · Sep 3, 2013

This I don't hate.

Shig · Sep 3, 2013

Oh man, this will look glorious with a 3D layering effect.

tsab · Sep 3, 2013

EXCITEEEE!

day -9000

MagiusNecros · Sep 3, 2013

Oh wow. That's awesome. Reminds me of Turrican.

Notorious_Roy · Sep 3, 2013

So, are the games coming if they get funded? Or is that just for extra cash?

Yes Boss! · Sep 3, 2013

Shig said:

And they are opening the play-field for 16:9. That should be interesting enough. I'm thinking they might play with the continue rate and saving a bit for the Nintendo platforms. Also, I'm hoping since the music is not spooling that we won't get those breaks like in the DC port.

I'll fund it for 24 euro when I get paid on the 15th. Too bad they are not offering at least a physical copy.

Gamerloid · Sep 3, 2013

Well this is certainly good news. Would love this on the go with my 3DS.

Jintor · Sep 3, 2013

That looks... glorious

meppi · Sep 3, 2013

Oh my! That's a surprise!

Been buying their game on the Dreamcast for years. Will certainly get them on Wii U as well as the 3DS. Great news.

edit. Ah Indygogo campaign?
Right now I'm at the limit of my Visa card as I bought a TON of games this past month, but I'll get the €24 one with a 3DS and Wii U version in a day or two.

magnetic · Sep 3, 2013

Wow, congratulations! Maybe they'll bring their shmups over as well.

Silky · Sep 3, 2013

Oh baby. That looks stunning.

wackojackosnose · Sep 3, 2013

Fuck me, I've sworn off Kickstarter but I can swing it for Indiegogo.

Dreamcast version looked hot.

2+2=5 · Sep 3, 2013

I'm so jealous

I want this clone of turrican!

SporeCrawler · Sep 3, 2013

Looks great. Reminds me of Lord of Thunder, Contra and Turricane

magnetic · Sep 3, 2013

That gritty look on the art has a strong IREM/R-Type vibe to me. After so many half-baked ironic pixel retro games these past years, it's great to see someone really nailing this specific style.

Deleted member 125677 · Sep 3, 2013

Thread title is extremely misleading though. :/

They have announced an indiegogo (kickstarter) campaign to port it, which atm is funded €12/€50000

damn

apparantly this thing doesn't work like kickstarter so nevermind

Nah, they are developing and making the games for one or both systems. They are coming in 2014. The indiegogo campaign is just to help defray the cost of the dev kits and additional art (and work as a presell). It does not matter if they reach their goal of 50K as they will take any money up to that point...and should deliver the product.

ok, so it's not like a kickstarter campaign? nevermind then, party on!

Oni Link 666 · Sep 3, 2013

Never heard of these guys, but that game looks cool. Is it some kind of take on Magician Lord?

honorless · Sep 3, 2013

"Flexible Funding"yeah, not surprised. I don't think NG

EV's fanbase cares enough about those two platforms for the full goal to be met.

IGG still takes your money up front, right? Will probably chip in 5 to support since I'm pretty sure that's about 200 USD.

...actually, I'm kinda wondering about whether they'll be able to easily provide eShop codes for the US. Somebody who's backing them at that level should probably ask about that.

Noice. I love the modern-retro Neo Geo style graphics.

The Hermit · Sep 3, 2013

MarkusRJR · Sep 3, 2013

I totally thought this was about the Ninja Gaiden Dev Team and went 'what the fuck?'.

I'm actually surprised somebody remembered that post - I sure as hell didn't.

But NG

ev.Team stated multiple times that they were interested in developing for Nintendo systems over the last couple of years, so this doesn't really come as a surprise. If anything, I'm surprised it took that long.

That'll depend on how much they plan to charge for the game, I suppose.

I've backed for 12 euro. If it wasn't for the exchange rate from USD, I would have done 24 euro. Not worried at all, and I rarely do these "backing" things.

Mr. Pointy · Sep 3, 2013

I gave them 24 Austerity monies. I want both versions.

Bring it!

Do want.

That's a given, I know

Looks like a straight Turrican clone, but with added dragons.

Darryl · Sep 3, 2013

This looks great. I wouldn't crowdfund anything console related, though. I hope it makes it anyways because it's an obvious day #1 for me. This is exactly the kind of stuff I want to play on the 3DS/U.

Fularu · Sep 3, 2013

I'd gladly back 30$ (24) if I knew I would get US codes.

Celine · Sep 3, 2013

We don't have "get out of jail free" cards, but if we did, she'd have one.
