Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is the new game from renowned producer Koji Igarashi, and it looks like it could be heading to Wii U following a successful Kickstarter campaign.

Igarashi is best known as the chief producer behind Konami's Castlevania series in its hey-day, and Bloodstained is very much intended as a spiritual successor to those action-exploration classics. Planned for PS4, Xbox One and PC, the game was originally announced on Kickstarer, and very quickly smashed through its initial $500,000 goal.

As the funding rose further, calls for a Wii U version increased. Igarashi has now confirmed that a Wii U version of Bloodstained is indeed being planned for, and its fate will be sealed should the Kickstarter campaign break the $3 million mark in its remaining 16 days (currently on about $2,785,000 at the time of writing).

The Wii U version would be handled specifically by Armature Studio - known to many Nintendo fans as being founded by a trio of key Metroid Prime staff who left Retro Studios in 2008. Armature has in the past been trusted with a number of ports for HD systems, and also developed Batman Arkham Origins: Blackgate.
