A Kickstarter launched today for an officially licensed game based on the classic 1980’s anime series Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs. The game is pitched as an “action packed 16-bit 2D space western shoot-em’ up,” and will be released for 3DS, PC, Mac, and Linux.

The developers are Team Saber Rider, a collection of games industry veterans who appear to have come together specifically for this project.

Kerbal Space Program was officially revealed for Wii U during Nindies@Night earlier today. While the game isn’t exclusive to the platform, Nintendo believes that the eShop release will be the definitive version.

Nintendo’s Damon Baker told Game Informer:

“We feel we have the definitive version on Wii U because of our interface. You’ll be able to utilize the touchscreen and the GamePad in a number of different ways from actually building the spacecraft and navigating the spacecraft and even getting different perspectives. You’ll be able to fly the spacecraft from the cockpit utilizing the GamePad as a different viewpoint.”
