Koch Media likely the publisher and owner of the Bloodstained franchise
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 6 Comments
Deep Silver parent company Koch Media has trademarked Bloodstained, which indicates that the company will be handling publishing duties for the title. It’s also a likely sign of their ownership of the franchise as a whole.
Deep Silver will already be handling the distribution of one Kickstarter project in Mighty No. 9 – another game developed by Inti Creates.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night currently sits at $2.8 million on Kickstarter. A Wii U version will be guaranteed at $3 million, which will almost certainly be reached before the June 12 deadline.

Humble Bundle – official statement about region-locking for the Nindie bundle
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
The Humble Nindie Bundle is a fantastic new sale that offers a bunch of great Wii U and 3DS indie games at a very low price. However, the downloadable package is only valid for those with North American systems, which is atypical for the site.
Here’s an official statement about the situation straight from Humble Bundle:
We recently launched the Humble Nindie Bundle, a digital bundle for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U systems. For many of you, the bundle is region-locked, and we apologize if the games are unavailable in your country.
One of the reasons we launched the first Humble Bundle was to bring indie games to more people. We agree that region-locking is not ideal. But without it, we may not have had this opportunity to promote these great indie games on dedicated video game platforms.
