Hyper Light Drifter could come to Wii U if funds reach $550,000 on Kickstarter. Developer Heart Machine has been talking with Nintendo, and those discussions are now complete. The studio says that it has “love” for the Wii U “and it makes us giddy”.

After completing talks with Nintendo and wrapping our minds around the time and resources needed, we are extremely excited to announce an official stretch goal for Wii U! Yes, we love this platform and it makes us giddy!
We are placing this at the $550,000 stretch goal: if we hit that all backers at the $15 level and above will be able to choose between a Steam key, a drm free copy, a PS4 key, a Vita key, an Ouya key, or a Wii U key! Super intense times!

You can contribute to Hyper Light Drifter’s Kickstarter here. Heart Machine will need a little over $100,000 in the next seven days in order to assure a Wii U version.

Shovel Knight planned for winter release

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

Shovel Knight had been tentatively scheduled to launch in September. However, the month went by without any sort of mention from Yacht Club Games, and it soon became clear that the game wouldn’t be out “on time”.

We now have a new release window, at least. A tweet from Yacht Club’s Twitter account states that Shovel Knight is due out sometime this winter.

Winter 2013? Next year? That’s anybody’s guess at this point!

Shovel Knight is also sailing toward a Winter release on all initial platforms. PC, Steam, Wii U, and 3DS!

1,001 Spikes features characters from other indie titles, like Nyx from NyxQuest. Others additions to the roster include President Thompson, Sugimoto, and a random zombie from 8-Bits Fanatics’ title.

Those who take on Thompson will be able to use his machine gun while Sugimoto has his katana. Zombie has a unique ability in that he can take one hit and survive – other characters perish after a single blow.

With just minutes remaining in its crowdfunding campaign, Shantae: Half-Genie Hero managed to reach another stretch goal on Kickstarter. Thanks to the $800,000 in donations received on the site as well as through PayPal, the game will be receiving a second bonus chapter.

Here’s the official overview:

“Suffering one mistake too many, the Mayor hires a new Guardian Genie to replace Shantae. When Scuttle Town contracts amnesia, Shantae travels to Tassle Town to discover her rival’s true origins.”

Note that a new transformation will be included in the second bonus chapter.

Half-Genie Hero’s first bonus chapter was guaranteed at $600,000. Yesterday, costume swaps were confirmed for the new Shantae title after total funds hit $700,000.
