Hyper Light Drifter will be making its way to Wii U after reaching a stretch goal on Kickstarter. The $550,000 target was surpassed just a short while ago.
There’s still a little under two days remaining in the Hyper Light Drifter campaign, though it’s not clear what stretch goal lies ahead. Something extra will be unlocked at $600,000, but the specifics haven’t been confirmed just yet.
Thanks to Stopga for the tip.
MCV recently had the opportunity to interview Nintendo UK marketing boss Shelly Pearce. Needless to say, Pearce had a whole lot to say about the Wii U, including the system’s sales, future, price, audience, and more. Some 3DS and 2DS topics were addressed as well.
You can find the full interview at MCV here. There’s also a Q&A roundup after the break.
Remember PETA’s Pokemon parody game, Pokemon: Black & Blue? The animal rights organization is now back with a new and related effort – just in time for the launch of Pokemon X/Y.
Pokemon: Red, White & Blue is yet another parody, which puts players on the path of becoming a hero “for real-life animals by pledging to try vegan.” You can play it above, or at the official link here.

Gorilla Press Games has launched a Kickstarter for its new project, Legend of the Lancer. You can find it here.

Joost van Dongen, creator of Proun, is working with Engine Software to bring Proun to the 3DS, iOS, and Android. A release date hasn’t been confirmed, but will be announced “at a later time.”
Proun first came out for PC back in 2011. As far as what the game entails, players race in a world filled with geometric objects and large colored surfaces.
Two Tribes has officially announced that the level editor originally planned for Toki Tori 2 on Wii U is “in the fridge” – or shelved. After considering the situation from a business perspective and looking at the technical and design problems, the studio felt making such a decision would be for the best.
Wii U owners won’t be left entirely empty handed, however. Those who have purchased the game can receive a free Steam code, which does come with the level editor.
