Looks like MegaMan… Smells like MegaMan… But it’s not MegaMan.

We have heard an almost obscene amount of Kickstarter gaming projects announce their support for Wii U if certain funding goals are met, but today we’ve got one for you from a developer that has recently been in the news:

Yacht Club Games was formed just recently by former members of the studio behind Mighty Switch Force!, WayForward Studios. Their first game will be called Shovel Knight, and it focuses on sidescrolling action, helmed by a knight who wields a “ShovelBlade” to destroy enemies. Sounds pretty decent, right? After all, we know these folks can make a mean platformer.

Initial news was that the game would be for PC only, but the game’s Kickstarter page says that if they hit their fundraising goal of $75,000, the game will make its way to 3DS and Wii U as well. Additionally, you can pledge $15 right now to “reserve” yourself a copy of the game on 3DS or Wii U when it comes out this coming September, so it’s almost like you’re just buying the game in advance!

Lost Heroes may have come out in Japan quite awhile ago, but Namco Bandai has finally made a demo available to 3DS users today. Any and all progress can be carried over to the full version.

Namco Bandai originally shipped Lost Heroes in Japan back in September.

To celebrate the Year of Luigi, Nintendo has launched a trio of new communities on Miiverse. Wii U owners can partake in discussions through the official Year of Luigi community and Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon board – the first 3DS title to receive its own community. There’s also a community up for the Year of Luigi developer’s room.

Shigeru Miyamoto, Takashi Tezuka, and Yoshihito Ikebata all left messages on Miiverse. Below are Miyamoto’s remarks:

“It’s been a whole 30 years since Luigi’s debut in Mario Bros.! Thanks to Luigi’s fans within Nintendo and all over the world, we have created many games starring Luigi. I hereby declare 2013 to be the Year of Luigi!”

Wii U sold a disappointing 35,000 units in the UK for the month of January. Things weren’t any better in February – sales were worse, actually.
