In just 24 hours, Mighty No. 9 has smashed through another Kickstarter stretch goal. Combined funds on the crowdfunding site along with PayPal donations exceeded $2.9 million, meaning the title will be receiving an intro stage and boss.

Here’s what the stretch goal specifically entails:

“We add an epic introductory stage—complete with a closing boss encounter—that players will take on before facing any of the Mighty No. boss levels! This will help ease everyone into the world of Mighty No. 9, and serve as a nice primer on the basic game systems and controls!”

Mighty No. 9’s next stretch goal is a support character at $3.1 million. With the rate the Kickstarter is going, that target should be met before the campaign’s end on October 1.

Precursor Games has put Shadow of the Eternals on hold. The company attempted to raise money through the project through two Kickstarters, but neither campaign met its funding goal.

A message posted on the official Shadow of the Eternals forum from Denis Dyack apparently confirms that the game isn’t dead. Dyack, however, did not say if and when it could return.

Dyack’s message in full reads:

Heart Machine’s 2D action RPG “Hyper Light Drifter” may make its way to Wii U.

The developer posted a new message on the game’s Kickstarter yesterday, and noted that its new game could hit Nintendo’s console if funds reach $500,000. A Wii U version would “be possible”, according to the developer.

The message in full states:

“We’ve had a lot of request for Wii U support. We hear you! It’s a platform that deserves some love, and we’re currently in talks with Nintendo directly on the subject. I think if we can reach the $500,000 goal it will be possible – though keep in mind that any new platform costs a fair amount of money and time to QA and port over/translate, with their own set of requirements, so it’s not as simple as one would hope. We’ll keep everyone updated as we continue to push for this gem of a platform.”

Hyper Light Drifter has raised a little over $325,000 on Kickstarter thus far. There are two weeks remaining, so hitting $500,000 may not be too far-fetched.

Mighty No. 9 has hit yet another stretch goal on Kickstarter. The game will now be receiving a “Beck & Call” online co-op challenge mode after raising $2.75 million.

Over a dozen missions will be included in the new mode, which allows gamers to play online with a friend. One player takes on the role of Beck while the other controls Call. All missions will be parts of remixed levels.

Japanese Wii U eShop games are tough to come by these days, but Kemco is readying a new one for release next week.

“Togabito no Senritsu” is a psycho suspense adventure game, dealing with loss and death associated with a murder title.

In this death game, several are trapped in prison, and they’ll need to work together to escape. Throughout the experience, characters give into their selfish nature and uncover the sins of their past. Belief and bonds in extreme conditions, hate and love, and the story of defeat and victory are just some of the elements players will encounter.

Did that get your attention? Those who own Japanese Wii U systems can purchase Togabito no Senritsu from the eShop on October 2 for 1,000 yen.

Conatus Creative previously expressed interest in bringing River City Ransom: Underground to the Wii U and 3DS. That interest has now translated into stretch goals on Kickstarter.

If River City Ransom: Underground manages to raise $320,000 CAD, the game will come to both eShops – Wii U and 3DS. It could be difficult to reach such a high amount with only 11 days remaining in the campaign, but it’s nonetheless encouraging to see both platforms included in the Kickstarter.
