Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn has been successfully funded on Indiegogo. With about eight hours remaining, the campaign crossed its $450,000 target.

Big Deez Productions will be bringing Shaq-Fu: A Legend Reborn to Wii U at some point in the future. The game was originally planned for 3DS as well, though plans for that version may have since been scrapped.

Thanks to Brandon for the tip.
