Indie Developer Brings Seven New Games To Wii U And 3DS Despite Upcoming eShop Closure
The independent developer Jerrel Dulay recently revealed that his company, Sungrand Studios, would be releasing not one, not two but seven brand new games for the Nintendo Wii U and 3DS consoles in the coming months. This even despite the fact that Nintendo has been hinting at a coming eShop closure.
“I'm Jerrel Dulay and I develop the Silver Falls games,” Dulay said on Twitter during the recent What a Game Developer Looks Like selfie event. “I'm sprinting to submit seven Wii U and 3DS games to Nintendo right now! Not a lot of time! Gotta run!”
The developer later said in a statement that he considers there to be "significant fan demand" for games on the Wii U and 3DS platforms. Dulay noted that his decision to produce more games for them was a response to the move by Nintendo towards discontinuing support for the aging systems.

Dulay explained that Sungrand Studios would be working in concert with Nintendo. “Most of these titles were games we had in development for the Wii U and 3DS already, but either moved main development to the Switch or canceled entirely.
