Shadow of the Eternals has not been funded on Kickstarter. $323,950 was raised out of the required $750,000 total – not even 50 percent.

Despite the disappointing news, developer Precursor Games will likely pursue Shadow of the Eternals’ development. The team previously expressed interest in continuing efforts on the project even if the Kickstarter goal wasn’t met.

This wasn’t Precursor’s first go around with Kickstarter. An original campaign kicked off in May, but was eventually pulled. Changes were made including the removal of an episodic format, the addition of David Hayter as a voice actor, and a lower crowdfunding target.

Shadow of the Eternals has been officially targeted for the Wii U and PC, with a possible PS4 version in the pipeline as well.

Fuzzy Wuzzy Games posted an update about Armillo on Twitter just a few moments ago.

Off-TV play and second screen display are both supported, so players will have two options at their disposal. Touch screen support isn’t included with the current build, but the team is looking to see if such functionality will be beneficial.

Ripstone Games has announced two titles for Wii U thus far: Knytt Underground and Pure Chess. The company also recently said that further support is planned.

Ripstone isn’t ready to reveal any new games just yet, but we were told that six games are planned for the Wii U in total.

Regarding future support for the eShop, creative director Phil Gaskell said the following in an interview that will be published on the site in just a couple of days:

“Yes we’ll be continuing to support Nintendo and the eShop. We’ve announced that the visually stunning Pure Chess is making its way over to both Wii U and 3DS, both of which look awesome and feature a great cross-platform multiplayer feature. We’re also working on a number of other games with developers that will appear on eShop but we’re not quite ready to show them off yet. Right now if we include the titles we’ve announced we have plans to bring 6 games to Wii U.”

Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams may not support proper off-TV play on Wii U.

The game, which just launched in Europe today, does allow players to go through the experience on the GamePad. It seems as though audio is missing, however. Visuals appear on the GamePad screen, but sound does not emit from the controller.

Another odd tidbit about Giana Sisters – on the Xbox 360, it’s a 1.6GB download. On Wii U though, Twisted Dreams takes up 4GB of storage.
