A new action RPG, Reborn, has launched on Kickstarter for funding. The game “fuses Japanese lore with a futuristic cyberpunk western themed Japan created by a small passionate indie team.” East and west influences are incorporated into Reborn’s structure.

Developer Elemental-Labs is seeking $200,000 to make Reborn a reality and bring it to the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, and PC. The tricky part is a Wii U and Xbox One stretch goal at $1.09 million. That’s quite a hefty figure, but with 28 days remaining in the Kickstarter campaign, hopefully that target can be met.

You can find the official Reborn Kickstarter page here.

Thanks to Christian for the tip.

Here’s a bit of trivia that people often forget/are unaware of when it comes to The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: series producer Eiji Aonuma actually wrote the lines for the King of Red Lions.

Aonuma’s son had just been born when Wind Waker was in development. This influenced the way he wrote the part for King of Red Lions, as he wanted his son to play the game and therefore ended up writing the role in “a self-important manner that children would understand.”

Aonuma spoke about this topic, Zelda’s form/appearance in the game, and Tingle in a 4Gamer interview. You can find some of these comments below, and even more translated quotes over at Zelda Informer.

Hyper Light Drifter will be making its way to Wii U after reaching a stretch goal on Kickstarter. The $550,000 target was surpassed just a short while ago.

There’s still a little under two days remaining in the Hyper Light Drifter campaign, though it’s not clear what stretch goal lies ahead. Something extra will be unlocked at $600,000, but the specifics haven’t been confirmed just yet.

Thanks to Stopga for the tip.

Remember PETA’s Pokemon parody game, Pokemon: Black & Blue? The animal rights organization is now back with a new and related effort – just in time for the launch of Pokemon X/Y.

Pokemon: Red, White & Blue is yet another parody, which puts players on the path of becoming a hero “for real-life animals by pledging to try vegan.” You can play it above, or at the official link here.
