The Soul Saga Kickstarter has come to an end, but it was most definitely a success for developer Disastercake.

A total of $192,222 was raised over the span of a month. Disastercake’s original goal was just $60,000.

Thanks to the huge support given to Soul Saga, the game managed to reach most of its stretch goals on Kickstarter. Soul Saga will indeed come to PlayStation 4, PS Vita, and Wii U. It will also feature elements such as voice acting.

Wii U’s sluggish start is far from a secret. The console’s disappointing start extends to the UK, where sales have been slow – to put it mildly.

A new report on Gamasutra paints an ever worse picture for the Wii U in Britain. According to the site, the system managed to sell just 179,000 piece of software at retail this year. Gamasutra notes, “Even if digital sales added 10 percent to the total software units sold on the Wii U, its year-to-date results would just barely match retail software sales for the moribund PlayStation Vita.”

It’s all on Nintendo to fix the situation. The company hopes that with the new releases coming to Wii U this year, things will begin to turn around.
