Deep Silver parent company Koch Media has trademarked Bloodstained, which indicates that the company will be handling publishing duties for the title. It’s also a likely sign of their ownership of the franchise as a whole.

Deep Silver will already be handling the distribution of one Kickstarter project in Mighty No. 9 – another game developed by Inti Creates.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night currently sits at $2.8 million on Kickstarter. A Wii U version will be guaranteed at $3 million, which will almost certainly be reached before the June 12 deadline.

The Humble Nindie Bundle is a fantastic new sale that offers a bunch of great Wii U and 3DS indie games at a very low price. However, the downloadable package is only valid for those with North American systems, which is atypical for the site.

Here’s an official statement about the situation straight from Humble Bundle:

We recently launched the Humble Nindie Bundle, a digital bundle for the Nintendo 3DS and Wii U systems. For many of you, the bundle is region-locked, and we apologize if the games are unavailable in your country.

One of the reasons we launched the first Humble Bundle was to bring indie games to more people. We agree that region-locking is not ideal. But without it, we may not have had this opportunity to promote these great indie games on dedicated video game platforms.

According to a listing on Nintendo’s website, Rival Turf is due out on the North American Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow. It should be priced at $7.99.

A brief overview of Rival Turf can be found below.

Big Al and the Street Kings think they can take over the streets for themselves. Punch, kick, and slam your way through 6 stages of rough-and-tough action, solo or with a friend! Or go against a friend and see who really owns the turf.

Jack Flak and Oozie Nelson bring their brawling skills to the street against Big Al and his gang of miscreants, otherwise known as the Street Kings. Test out a myriad of street-fighting techniques against waves of enemies as a lone hero, or bring a sidekick! Take enough punches and your inner Angry Mode will rear its ugly head against your foes. You can also battle against a friend in Vs mode and see who’s left standing.

Along with Rival Turf, we also know that Mega Man Battle Network 4 Blue Moon and Mega Man Battle Network 4 Red Sun are launching on the Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow.
