Red Hook Studios’ Darkest Dungeon has experienced a great deal of success on Kickstarter. In just 24 hours, the “challenging gothic roguelike RPG” exceeded $75,000 in donations and received full funding.

Darkest Dungeon’s Kickstarter page mentions that the team is “very interested in consoles”, including 3DS. Red Hook Studios’ Tyler Sigman also told reader WALEED that “anything is possible” when it comes to Wii U.

“Anything is possible! We’ll have to see how the campaign goes and see if we can get enough funding to look at porting it to other platforms. The more interest there is, the more likely it is to happen!”

You can check out Darkest Dungeon’s Kickstarter here. If there’s any news about the game heading to Nintendo platforms, we’ll be sure to let you know.

Thanks to WALEED for the tip.

A quick heads up: Rayman Legends has been reduced to $40 on the eShop. This is a permanent price drop, so it won’t be going up to $60 in the future.

As always, retail remains an option as well. Amazon also has Rayman Legends available for $40.

Dr. Mario is seeing a release on the Wii U Virtual Console… eventually. Nintendo of Europe has a dedicated page up for the game, but with a “TBD” release date. I assume we’ll be seeing it on the eShop sooner rather than later though!

Thanks to Brandon for the tip.
