Ghost Song: A Journey of Hope Kickstarter ends without hitting Wii U stretch goal, but could still head to the console
The Kickstarter campaign for Ghost Song: A Journey of Hope has come to an end. It was very much successful with funds exceeding $50,000 – well past the original $15,000 target.
However, the Kickstarter did miss out on the Wii U stretch goal, which was set at $60,000. How does this impact a potential release on the console?
Well, it sounds like a Wii U version may very well be in the cards regardless. Before the campaign ended, created Matt White sent out a message indicating that Ghost Song had a good shot at coming to Wii U even if the stretch goal wasn’t met:
Seriously, though, I’ve noticed a certain amount of chatter and lamenting statements about the Wii U stretch goal. Keep in mind that this is just a stretch goal, there is life beyond it, and indeed there’s so much to be positive about. I fully believe in this game. Like, utterly and completely. I similarly believe, and have reason to believe, that there will be many opportunities and opening doors down the road for this game as it comes closer to release and after it comes out.
More to the point: If this stretch goal is not met, I still think a Wii U version is something that’ll happen, if not at release, then a bit later. Is this a promise? No. Should you base your backing decisions on this? No, you probably shouldn’t. But if this is something that’s important to you, then hope remains alive no matter what happens tonight.
