We’re still waiting for a number of Mega Man titles on the Virtual Console. As an example, Mega Man II and III for Game Boy still aren’t out on the western eShops as of yet.

Boogerman 20th Anniversary: The Video Game hits Kickstarter, planned for Wii U

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

Does Boogerman ring a bell for anyone? Interplay came out with the SEGA Genesis (and later SNES) title nearly two decades ago. Now, new developer Toy Ghost LLC is looking to develop a follow-up/remake of sorts.

Toy Ghost has taken to Kickstarter in hopes of raising enough money to fund the project’s development. $375,000 is required in order to make Boogerman 20th Anniversary: The Video Game a reality. If that target is met, the title will land on Wii U, PlayStation 4, PS Vita, PC, and Mac. Boogerman 20th Anniversary would arrive in November 2014.

It’s worth mentioning that the original Boogerman creators are working on the game. Additionally, Grant Kirkhope will compose an entirely new musical score.

You can find more information in the video above. Also be sure to check out the official Kickstarter page here.
