Days of Dawn has successfully reached its Kickstarter goal of $50,000.

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment will be releasing LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes on Wii U nearly a year after its initial release. The company announced today that it will be bringing the game to Nintendo’s console this spring.

LEGO Batman 2 will offer new GamePad features on Wii U. The entire title can be experienced on the controller through off-TV play, and a second player will be able to join in on the fun for co-op gameplay without having to share the television. Warner Bros. has also confirmed that players “will navigate through Gotham City using an enhanced interactive map and select their favorite DC Comics characters to assemble a powerful team of heroes, all with the use of the controller’s touchscreen.”
