Heart Machine’s 2D action RPG “Hyper Light Drifter” may make its way to Wii U.

The developer posted a new message on the game’s Kickstarter yesterday, and noted that its new game could hit Nintendo’s console if funds reach $500,000. A Wii U version would “be possible”, according to the developer.

The message in full states:

“We’ve had a lot of request for Wii U support. We hear you! It’s a platform that deserves some love, and we’re currently in talks with Nintendo directly on the subject. I think if we can reach the $500,000 goal it will be possible – though keep in mind that any new platform costs a fair amount of money and time to QA and port over/translate, with their own set of requirements, so it’s not as simple as one would hope. We’ll keep everyone updated as we continue to push for this gem of a platform.”

Hyper Light Drifter has raised a little over $325,000 on Kickstarter thus far. There are two weeks remaining, so hitting $500,000 may not be too far-fetched.

Nintendo has been working on the next firmware update for the 3DS. According to the generally-reliable Emily Rogers, the download was originally scheduled for October. The update, however, has apparently been pushed back to an unspecified timeframe.

The Wii U is also expected to be receiving a major update – first announced several months ago during a Nintendo Direct. Rogers teased on Twitter that the new firmware will arrive “sooner than you think.”

The tweet in full, which also contains an interesting tidbit regarding Ubisoft, reads:

Asked to elaborate on the Ubisoft note, Rogers tweeted:

Mighty No. 9 has hit yet another stretch goal on Kickstarter. The game will now be receiving a “Beck & Call” online co-op challenge mode after raising $2.75 million.

Over a dozen missions will be included in the new mode, which allows gamers to play online with a friend. One player takes on the role of Beck while the other controls Call. All missions will be parts of remixed levels.
