The Kickstarter for Heart Forth, Alicia now includes stretch goals for potential Wii U and 3DS versions. We’ll see the game on Nintendo’s home console if funds hit $200,000, and if donations reach $245,000, it’ll be on Nintendo’s handheld as well. Both versions are realistic possibilities, as the Kickstarter has already reached $164,000 in donations with about two weeks remaining.

Check out the Kickstarter page for Heart Forth, Alicia here. It’s a pretty neat-looking ’90s-inspired Metroidvania RPG.

Thanks to Spookoyo for the tip.

Think prison life’s bad? Having been there twice already, let me tell you, it’s worse than what the movies and books would have you think. Imagine having to shape your masticatory and gastrovascular secretionary actions around predetermined intervals of time throughout the day, with no exceptions. Imagine a life devoid of privacy in being forced to share a toilet bowl in a confined space with a burly ex-construction worker named Red. Now, with that gruesome reality in mind, picture being in a prison taken over by three maniacal super-convicts bent on causing mayhem and destruction upon their escape. Seems like just enough to drive you over the deep end, right? Well, in Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate — Deluxe Edition for Wii U, you, the player, as the eponymous Batman, find yourself in that very peculiar predicament.

BLOK DROP U’s update is now available, though the manner in which you obtain it is a bit complicated.

You’ll first need to delete the game from your system/hard drive. After that, re-download BLOK DROP U from the eShop.

RCMADIAX says it’s looking into the issue, as updating Wii U games is usually easier.

Renegade Kid’s Kickstarter for Cult County ended today, and the campaign was, sadly, unsuccessful. Only $46,736 was raised out of the $580,000 total.

So what’s next? Renegade Kid co-founder said on Twitter that the studio will now look towards “other options.”

Adam Creations has taken to Kickstarter in hopes of funding its new RPG, “Courier”. The game will be released on Wii U, PC, Mac, and Linux in 2015 – assuming the funding goal is met.

Courier is a JRPG-like experience with a unique story in which players take on the role of a courier as opposed to a brave warrior. Information acts as your “weapon” in a land struggling with war.

There’s lots more information about Courier on the Kickstarter page here. It has quite a ways to go before hitting its $24,000 target.

Child of Light will soon be receiving a patch to change the game’s difficulty names. In the future, “normal” and “hard” will be modified to “casual” and “expert”.

Writer Jeffrey Yohalem told Joystiq during a live-stream event:

“In a patch that’s coming up, we’re changing the names to ‘casual’ and ‘expert’. This has been an issue, obviously, that some people have had, and I think that the word ‘normal’ is a misrepresentation …. Or, rather, implying that there’s one way to play that’s normal is, I think, too strong.”

“Casual is for people that want to experience the world and experience the adventure without having hard combat, and then expert is for people who love RPGs and who want to really have a challenge.”

Yohalem feels that those who have experience playing role-played games should try Child of Light on the “hard” difficulty for the time being.
