Development began in 2016 and was expected to merge sometime in 2018. HoweverCubic Ninja, as of March 2018Retro City Rampage DX, medusa has been "suspended until further notice"<ref>https://mgba.io/2018/03/09/holy-grail-bugs-revisited/</ref> due to a slowdown in development for both medusa and mGBA.
