There will be a lot of handheld noise this peak season.”

Mysterious Cities of Gold: Secret Paths was always a sure thing for the Wii U and 3DS, but a Kickstarter for the new video game launched last week in hopes of providing a better localizing effort.
The campaign goal has since been reached after funds reached $30,000. As a result, Secret Paths will be fully localized in English with voice-acting dubbing of cinematic scenes and dialogue. Spanish subtitles will also be included, and a PC port has been guaranteed.
There’s still 23 days remaining in the Kickstarter campaign. If donations exceed $40,000, the team will add in Italian, German, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, and Swedish subtitles. There are also plans for a free Polish translation thanks to some assistance from a professional translator fan.
