Indie developer Guilherme Vargas is looking to fund his new project “The adventures of Bit ‘n’ Ravh” on Kickstarter. The side-scrolling adventure game needs $35,000 in order to receive funding, but Nintendo fans would likely be more interested in one of the campaign’s stretch goals.
The adventures of Bit ‘n’ Ravh will head to Wii U if donations exceed $75,000. Assuming the stretch goal is met, Vargas will acquire Wii U dev software and intends to bring in “skilled programmers” for the eShop release.
You can check out the Kickstarter page for The adventures of Bit ‘n’ Ravh here. The campaign ends on March 9.

There hasn’t been much news about Mario Golf: World Tour in recent months. The game was originally scheduled to be released in the second half of 2013, but was pushed back to 2014 back in June.
REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Launching exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS system on Feb. 7, Bravely Default brings a unique twist to the role-playing genre. With a compelling new risk-and-reward combat system, creative uses of StreetPass functionality and beautiful graphics, this ambitious game brings new innovations in quality and design to the world of RPGs.
“Bravely Default offers a deep, strategic adventure on Nintendo 3DS that everyone will be talking about,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “With the addition of this unique RPG, the Nintendo 3DS library continues to prove itself as one of the most robust and varied of any video game platform.”
