Axiom Verge

In an interview with Nintendo World Report, Tom Happ (creator of Axiom Verge) explained that he was pretty interested in bringing the game to Nintendo 3DS, but that there were some issues to deal with:

underpowered CPU

the game uses a lot of shader effects
the game requires more RAM than the Nintendo has
