Mario maker says "we're big fans" of Mojang, but has nothing to announce about open-ended sandbox game coming to Nintendo platforms.

Mojang has released its megahit Minecraft on various platforms, including Xbox 360, PC, and mobile devices, but Nintendo systems have been left out so far.

Asked what Nintendo can say regarding the potential for Minecraft to come to the Wii U or 3DS, business development manager Dan Adelman told GameSpot, "What can we say on that front? [laughs]."

Nintendo senior manager of marketing for licensing Damon Baker added, "We're big fans. We have a continuing relationship with Mojang, and respect all the work that they're doing, but no announcements at this time."

Baker said Nintendo speaks with and keeps track of "what everybody's doing," noting one of the reasons the company is at PAX Prime this year is to have conversations with these developers "whether they're making games for other platforms or not."

"We've got our own favorites that we've had conversations with," Baker said. "So I think it's always a work in progress."

Mojang developer Jens Bergensten said in March that a version of Minecraft for the Wii U would be "very unlikely."

[UPDATE] Project hits and exceeds $900,000 funding target in under 48 hours.

[UPDATE] The Mighty No. 9 Kickstarter today reached and surpassed its target of $900,000.

The original story is below.

Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune has launched a Kickstarter campaign for a classic-inspired side-scrolling action game to be developed by an "all-star team of Mega Man devs."

The game is called Mighty No. 9 and developer Comcept is seeking $900,000 for the project. At press time, more than 1,300 backers have contributed over $96,000 to the project.

According to its Kickstarter page, Mighty No. 9 "takes the best aspects of the 8- and 16-bit era classics you know and love, and transforms them with modern tech, fresh mechanics, and fan input into something fresh and amazing."

In Mighty No. 9, gamers play as Beck, the ninth in a line of "powerful" robots and the only one not infected by a "mysterious computer virus" that caused the robots to go berserk.

Players will run, jump, shoot, and transform their way through six stages (more if stretch goals are reached). Mighty No. 9 is currently in development for PC with gamepad support. The game will launch on Steam, as well as DRM-free digital distribution stores.

If stretch goals are reached, Mighty No. 9 will also be released on Mac, Linux, and home consoles. The game is aiming to be released in spring 2015.
