I spent my last few months porting Quake 3 Arena to most consoles that didn't have a port yet (Wii, PS3, PS4, Xbox One), but my main roadblock was always the Wii U. Thanks to all the experience I gained from my previous ports as well as a new toy I'll release later I decided to give it another shot and I got much farther this time. The port is far from playable at the moment, but I lifted most of the roadblocks I ran into last time, which made all this very promising. Since this is my most important project so far, I'd like the first release to be very, very polished. However, I'm still unsure about which name I should pick this time around, so I'll pick the one with most votes the moment I have to do the release.
Main features
Pro and Cons compared with each of my ports:
