Humanity has always dreamt big — even over two thousand years ago during the time of the Greek philosopher Plato. “Astronomy compels the soul to look upward, and leads us from this world to another,” Plato once mused. RymdResa is an indie game that dares to dream big, challenging gamers to explore into the unknown…

In a recent interview with the Reno Gazette-Journal, Nintendo of America’s Bill Trinen opened up quite a bit regarding a variety of topics, including but not limited to the impending future of the Wii U console and some of its upcoming releases.
