The eShop isn't exactly short of platformers, on both Wii U and 3DS, yet it's a genre that's pretty much always welcome. Running and jumping is still rather popular when done well, and Nintendo's systems have delivered some gems on this score.

It's also a genre that provides a good jumping off point for young studios and their early games, and Rynn's Adventure: Trouble in the Enchanted Forest seems to fall into that category. It's the work of Canadian company Arcane Four Studios and includes levelling up, various moves and a fairly stylish aesthetic. It originally targeted a Fall 2015 release but development is now complete, with the developer working on certification to bring it to Wii U and Xbox One first. The 3DS is a platform planned for the future once the port is complete.

Based on the footage below this looks promising, albeit with some aspects of the mechanics that arguably look a little questionable in video. It certainly has potential, though, and it shouldn't be too long until we can all put it to the test.
