Armikrog received full funding on Kickstarter late last night. And just a few moments ago, the game hit its Wii U stretch goal.

The race towards Armikrog’s Wii U version truly came down to the wire. The $950,000 target was reached with less than two hours remaining in the campaign.

Congratulations to Pencil Test Studios for its success!

This is rather peculiar. For some odd reason, Miiverse users aren’t able to post screenshots on communities for Square Enix’s Virtual Console titles.

The restriction only appears to be in place for Square Enix’s classic games. As far as we can tell, all other VC titles fully support the screenshot function.

PlayStation 4 lead architect Mark Cerny held a presentation in Spain today, where he expressed a desire for Sony to match Nintendo’s legacy.

Cerny’s comments were made at Gamelab in Barcelona. During his presentation, Cerny mentioned how – in the future – he hopes that Sony’s “amazing” nucleus personnel will lead some to compare Sony’s impact in the industry.

Cerny referenced Sony Computer Entertainment CEO Andrew House and Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida in his speech. Much like himself, House and Yoshida were appointed to senior positions at Sony in a similar manner.

“I have a great friend who lives in Kyoto in the eastern part of Japan. He runs a developer there and he’s worked with both Sony Computer Entertainment and Nintendo over the years, and he says that what he respects the most about Nintendo is the incredible continuity they have in the form of a core group of individuals that has now worked together for over 30 years.”

Index, the parent company of Atlus, has filed for civil rehabilitation proceedings as bankruptcy looms.

The financial issues impacting Index stem from its ¥24.5 billion (or $224 million) debt. Meanwhile, president Ochiai Yoshimi could be on the way out having hinted at his resignation.

Index had attempted to acquire businesses on the domestic and international levels, though these plans were unsuccessful. Compounding matters is the fact that its overseas acquisitions were not able to provide a jump in revenue to justify the purchase.

What impact could the situation have on Atlus, you ask? Either a resale or restructure could be in the company’s future – everything depends on what happens to Index.
