After combining donations received through PayPal, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has managed to reach its Wii U stretch goal on Kickstarter.

The campaign needed to total $3 million in order to ensure a version for Nintendo’s console. That happened with nearly two weeks before the Kickstarter ends.

Now that Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has been officially confirmed for Wii U, we can look forward to the game in March 2017. Armature Studio, the team behind Batman: Arkham Origins – Blackgate and a number of ports, will be handling this version for Koji Igarashi and main developer Inti Creates.

You can check out Bloodstained’s Kickstarter here.

You can watch the stream at 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT. A new post will be added to the site once it goes live, and we’ll archive the recording on YouTube a bit later for those who miss it.

Playtonic revealed a new character for Yooka-Laylee today. We have a first look at the Ghost Writers, a type of enemy in the game.

Playtonic said of the Ghost Writers in its latest blog post:

In their physical days these articulate phantoms were the scribes behind Yooka-Laylee’s mysterious book worlds. However, following their suspicious demise the Ghost Writers’ unsettled souls are now cursed to endlessly wander their creations in search of spectre salvation. Free their spirits for a special reward…

Yooka-Laylee’s creative lead, Gavin Price explains: “The Ghost Writers haunting the book worlds will add a fun twist to collecting. There are a variety of different types hidden in every world, each with their own unique requirement for being caught.

“Mix that with the different areas in which you’ll find them, and hopefully they’ll result in a fresh challenge with every encounter. They’re like a living (un-living?) collectible.”

Character artist at large, Mr. Steve(n) Mayles described the design process behind his band of ghouls: “As these characters aren’t based on any particular creature, it was good fun to go a bit crazy with them. And we are crazy guys at Playtonic Towers… never a dull moment, etc.

“The ghost was originally going to be one character, but I sketched so many thumbnails (50+) it sparked the idea of having 5 separate ghosts with different abilities.”

Yooka-Laylee will launch in Wii U in October 2016.
