A Hat in Time has joined Kickstarter. Its developer is seeking $30,000 by June 28, and there are stretch goals that go as high as $110,000.

Now, what about a Wii U version of Hat in Time? There are currently talks to bring it to the eShop with the help of a publisher, but while things are very hopeful, nothing is promised.

“…Additionally, we have plans on releasing console versions if everything goes to plan. Being big Nintendo fans ourselves, we are talking with a publisher to help making a Wii U version. However, at this point we are not able to promise anything – so stay tuned and cross your fingers!”

You can find the official A Hat in Time Kickstarter here.

Thanks to KIDNINTNEDO for the tip.

One Kickstarter campaign has ended in success, while another has ended in slight disappointment.

Rex Rocket has been fully funded, having secured close to $11,000 in funding. Only $6,000 was originally requested. We should be seeing this one on a bunch of platforms including the Wii U and 3DS.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, The Realm’s Kickstarter ended unsuccessfully. But that’s not the end of the story. A new Kickstarter will launch later this year, which will allow US users to contribute directly to the campaign. The previous campaign made it difficult for US residents to add to the total as it was a UK-based Kickstarter.
