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.

A poll taken by YouGov asked UK citizens if they believe that playing video games can cause real-life aggression to bubble up. Respondents were only able to answer “yes” or “no” to the poll, as no “sometimes” or “maybe” answer was provided. Here are the results:

– 61% of respondents said “Yes” when asked if games increase real-life aggression
– 57% said that games are a good way to let out frustration
– Old people/those who haven’t played games think worse of games than young people/those who have played games

Don’t read too far into this– it’s just one study.

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:
