Update: Shantae: Half-Genie Hero’s Kickstarter has ended. WayForward ended up raising $776,084 on the site and another $35,878 on PayPal for a total of $811,962. PayPal donations will continue to be accepted.

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.

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero will support costume swaps after reaching a new stretch goal on Kickstarter. Funds raised on the site in addition to PayPal donations exceeded $700,000 a short while ago, meaning the new feature is in.

Costume swaps will allow players to experience Half-Genie Hero with rebalanced stats and special moves. Of course, Shantae can wear new garb as well.

Steam and PlayStation platforms both implement a cross-buy feature. As an example, if you purchase an indie title available for both the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita, you’re only required to pay once in order to receive copies for both platforms.

Unfortunately, Nintendo doesn’t offer similar functionality for its own systems. If you buy a game from the 3DS eShop, you don’t receive a corresponding copy for Wii U. You’re forced to pay a second time for what essentially amounts to the same game.

While cross-buy isn’t something that Nintendo currently offers, “the idea’s been talked about.” That’s according to Dan Adelman, the man in charge of all things indie at Nintendo of America.

He told Nintendo World Report:

“We don’t have anything new to announce on that, but I believe that the idea’s been talked about. So it’s something we’re definitely up to considering if there’s enough demand from developers, but nothing to announce for right now.”

Futuresco Games has launched a new Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign for something called “Coco Returns”. The title, described as “the first ChromaDepth displaying video game ever”, has a chance of coming to Wii U.

Coco Returns needs $4,000 to be fully funded. A Wii U funding goal lies at $75,000.

It’ll come with at least 40 levels, difficulty modes, a scoring system, and more.

There’s a trailer above, but Futuresco warns that all graphics and videos thus far are preliminary and the team is working on improving the graphic art.

You can find more information about Coco Returns on the Indiegogo page here.
