Indie title Pixel Noir already its Kickstarter goal a few weeks back. SWDTech Games was only seeking $30,000, but that goal was surpassed less than two weeks into the campaign.

Even though Pixel Noir’s Kickstarter has nearly come to a close, a new stretch goal was just reached which will certainly please Nintendo fans. Having secured $50,000, SWDTech Games will be bringing its new project to 3DS.

Pixel Noir is a JRPG-inspired detective game, and true to its title, features a film noir backdrop. SWDTech Games says it’s sort of like a mix between Earthbound and Sin City. The game features turn-based combat, a city to explore, investigation elements, and even a Shovel Knight crossover.

You can learn more about Pixel Noir on the Kickstarter page here.

Ghost Police, a “a non-shooting shooter” with a retro art style, is already guaranteed to happen. However, the project just recently launched a Kickstarter in hopes of adding some extra bells and whistles. One stretch goal in the campaign would allow for a 3DS version.

In Ghost Police, players manipulate the world by using a special brush of sorts. Players will be navigating two ships simultaneous through two overlapping levels of obstacles and enemies, though power-ups – which increase the size of your brush and your timer gauge – will help you along the way.

Ghost Police’s main funding goal is £10,500, and if that goal is met, Jake Kaufman will be brought in to handle the soundtrack. The 3DS stretch goal lies further out at £100,000.

You can find Ghost Police’s Kickstarter here.
