We’ve yet another indie game headed to Wii U with the help of fundraising stretch goals, this time the Castlevania-inspired Odallus: The Dark Call. Take a look at the screenshot above (or the details below!) for a better idea of what this game is like, and click here to support the game’s $55,000 Wii U stretch goal.

According to the IndieGogo page, the game will feature non-linear levels, five different areas, hordes of demons, and huge bosses. It’s estimated to launch in mid-2014.

GamesIndustry recently caught up with three major third-party publishers to discuss Wii U. Ubisoft, Activision, and EA shared a few thoughts about the console while speaking with the outlet.

One of the more troubling items to emerge from the discussion concerns ZombiU. The game wasn’t even close to being profitable, according to Ubisoft. The company therefore has no plans or interest in making a sequel currently. ZombiU’s poor performance was also one of the reasons why Rayman Legends turned into a multiplatform title.

You can find commentary from the three publishers below.

The Wonderful 101 will be a long game – certainly longer than originally expected. Platinum Games recently said that the experience will take up to twenty hours to complete.

Its due to The Wonderful 101’s lengthy clear time and high amount of content that director Hideki Kamiya feels that DLC would unnecessary. On Twitter earlier today, Kamiya said that the team managed to put in everything it had hoped to.

He tweeted:
