River City: Ransom met its Kickstarter funding goal last month, but the campaign missed out on various console stretch goals. So what does that mean for potential Wii U and 3DS versions?
Good news: both systems are still up for consideration. Producer Daniel Crenna told Red Bull UK that the company will self-fund additional platforms for release.
Crenna said:
We are looking at options for additional funding if we think we need more fuel to ensure we meet our goals, and to self-fund additional platforms we didn’t hit in our stretch goals.

Twelve hours after finishing our Extra Life 24-hour live stream, we record another podcast! We discuss Batman (aka Austin excessively criticizes it), Mario Sunshine, Mario Galaxy 2, and 3D platforming, Wind Waker vs. Skyward Sword (and other Zeldas), the PS1 game ‘LSD’, as well as some great listener mail and a bit of news. This episode was way too long though. We’re working on that.
This Week’s Podcast Crew: Austin, Jack, and Laura
