Indie Hit VVVVVV Gets 3D Treatment On Nintendo's 3DS

Terry Cavanagh's award-winning independent Flash game VVVVVV is headed to Nintendo's 3DS platform courtesy of a partnership with publisher Nicalis, the company said Thursday. 2010's VVVVVV is a 2D action platform game with a retro aesthetic (both visually and aurally). It was named Gamasutra's number two indie game of 2009 while still in Beta, and remained an honorable mention when it was released the following year. The game also received the "Fun and Compelling Award" at last year's IndieCade. "I'm VVVVVVery excited about it! This is the first time anything I've made has been on a console," said Cavanagh in a statement. The game will be available digitally through the Nintendo 3DS eShop. As expected, a 3D perspective mode will be integrated into the game.
