Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 6 Comments
Well, so much for the roguelike dungeon being Bloodstained’s final Kickstarter stretch goal! With just six hours remaining, the team has added in one final target. If funds reach $5.5 million, Bloodstained will be receiving a boss revenge mode.
There’s six hours remaining before Bloodstained’s Kickstarter expires. We’ll know pretty soon if the campaign manages to reach this one final stretch goal.
Bloodstained clears final Kickstarter stretch goal, getting roguelike dungeon mode
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 5 Comments
Update: We’ve been tricked! There’s a new final stretch goal: boss revenge mode. Details here.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night’s Kickstarter has hit $5 million (combined with PayPal funds). The final stretch goal has been cleared, and the game will be receiving a roguelike dungeon mode.
As a reminder, here’s what fans can expect from the feature:
In this mode you’ll face a new castle every time, braving its treacherous (and massive) halls for loot, glory, and the simple, satisfying feeling of going where no Miriam has gone before. Once you’ve explored its passages and defeated its boss, you’ll get a code that will enable you to share your randomly generated dungeon with a friend.
Nine hours remain in the Bloodstained Kickstarter campaign. If you’d like to donate before it ends, head on over here.
Thanks to Maxime for the tip.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night prequel mini-game coming to 3DS

It was only yesterday that Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night cleared its prequel mini-game stretch goal on Kickstarter. With $4.5 million having been raised, Inti Creates is being tasked with creating this smaller title for a few platforms, including Wii U.
We can now say that this same mini-game will be on 3DS as well. Combined with PayPal donations, the Bloodstained Kickstarter has surpassed $4.75 million. That amount was needed in order to bring the prequel mini-game to portables.
Bloodstained’s Kickstarter has one final stretch goal to hit before the campaign ends. If funds reach $5 million, the game will feature a rogue-like dungeon mode.
You can check out Bloodstained on Kickstarter here. 13 hours remain before the campaign ends.
Mighty No. 9 will have a Miiverse community
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 3 Comments
A few details were posted on the Mighty No. 9 website in an update shared yesterday. Based on one of the things listed – at least for the Wii U version – it sounded like there were no plans for Miiverse support.
The official Mighty No. 9 Twitter account has since clarified the situation. While the game itself won’t have any special Miiverse integration, there are still plans to add a Mighty No. 9 community to the social network.
Hey Mighties, spread the word: "No Miiverse support" means no in-game integration. There will be a Miiverse community! #MightyNo9

Shovel Knight appearing in Bloodstained, third playable character and prequel mini-game stretch goals reached
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
The latest Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Kickstater update covers a unique character as well as confirmation of two new stretch goals that have been reached.
Regarding Shovel Knight, Yacht Club Games has signed off on featuring the character in some fashion. We don’t know what exactly is planned just yet, however.
The team behind Bloodstained writes in its latest Kickstarter update:
Remember Natsume’s Shovel Knight fanart from earlier in the campaign? It’s been about a decade, in Kickstarter years, so I’ll refresh your memory (see above).
We’ve got good news: Inti Creates and Yacht Club Games have agreed that Natsume’s reimagining of their hero feels right at home in the demon castle!
They won’t tell us any more than that, but when the game comes out remember that you might bump into this guy in a crowded corridor somewhere. Who knows what might happen after that?

Bloodstained to feature orchestrated tracks, early off-screen footage
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Videos, Wii U | 5 Comments
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has reached another stretch goal on Kickstarter. When combined with donations received from PayPal, the campaign has exceeded the $3.75 million mark. That means Bloodstained will feature orchestrated tracks.
The latest Kickstarter update reads:
With our Paypal backers included — $118k from more than 1400 backers, as of this morning — you’ve hit the Orchestrated Tracks stretch goal with momentum to burn! It’ll be a while before Yamane and Yamada have all the tracks composed for Bloodstained, but now that you’ve reached this stretch goal they did want to allay one fear a few backers have had: There’s still going to be a ton of variety on this soundtrack.
Hitting the orchestra stretch goal allows them to use live instrumentation where it makes sense, but some tracks just make more sense with electronic arrangements. Songs like Yamada’s “Cursed Orphan”, which already includes violin and electric guitar parts, will be performed by a smaller, rock-oriented ensemble.
In short: You’ve added more options, not taken any away. (And that’s without even going into those 8-bit tracks you unlocked from Yamane, Yamada, and Virt…)
Next up for Bloodstained is an online challenge mode. This will be guaranteed if the Kickstarter hits its $4 million stretch goal.
Last but not least, off-screen footage has been posted to YouTube showing footage from the game. This is intended to show an early animation sample.

Mighty No. 9 Signature Edition won’t be offered for Wii U
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 57 Comments
Yesterday, Mighty No. 9 publisher Deep Silver announced that the title would be receiving a collector’s edition. Gamers can purchase the “Signature Edition“, which comes with a physical copy, new DLC, a foil signature and a posable Beck statue.
I’d been trying to find out if the package would be available on Wii U, but hadn’t received any sort of response. Although we now finally have an answer, it’s unfortunately not good news. Deep Silver has confirmed via Twitter that the Mighty No. 9 Signature Edition is only on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
@Shadow_Enz Can confirm that the US-only Signature Edition is only available for XB1 and PS4.
