Bloodstained Switches from the Wii U to the Nintendo Switch

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is the latest kickstarted video game to drop Wii U support. Much like Yooka-Laylee, Bloodstained will release on the Nintendo Switch instead of the Wii U.

Game director Koji Igarashi (aka. IGA) recently broke the news on the Bloodstained Kickstarter page,

“Hello, this is IGA.

Thank you for always supporting us. I would like to give a message to the backers who pledged for the Wii U version of Bloodstained.

During our Kickstarter campaign, the Wii U was at the height of its popularity, but the situation has drastically changed after of Nintendo Switch.

We are very sorry that it has come to this after all your support, but we hope you will understand. We would like to respond by preparing options for our backers, such as moving your pledge to another version or requesting a refund if you don’t want any other version.

We hope you will continue to support us.”

Backers who want the Nintendo Switch version of the game can simply fill out the backer survey again and change their selected platform to the Switch. Alternatively, backers can order a refund if they fit all of the following criteria:

  1. They filled out the backer survey and selected the Wii U version prior to the announcement.
  2. They backed at an unlimited tier ($28 to $500)
  3. They are able to receive a refund via PayPal.
  4. They submit their refund request before April 20, 2017

While Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night dropping Wii U support is regrettable, gamers should expect these kinds of developments whenever new consoles are released. The game still looks extremely promising and, with a bit of luck, should deliver the fun Castlevania experience Konami doesn’t seem to want to provide anymore. David Hayter lending his voice to the game only adds to the #FucKonami icing of Koji Igarashi’s cake.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

The latest trailer for Sony Pictures Entertainment’s CGI film Resident Evil: Death Island, released July 25, features the outlandish action and melodrama that made the franchise a cult sensation.

This Resident Evil Avengers-esque team-up features Leon S. Kennedy, Jill Valentine, Chris Redfield, Claire Redfield, and Rebecca Chambers.

The T-Virus and killer whales take the gang to Alcatraz in San Francisco Bay, where a new nightmare awaits. In magnificent slow motion and with progressively heavier ordinance, the Dream Team will supposedly destroy zombies, Lickers, mutant orcas, and anything else foolish or nasty enough to stand in their path.

In a horrific new video, Dr. Fetus’ Mean Meat Machine is coming to PS4 and PS4 on June 22. Expect agony and tight gameplay from independent wizards Team Meat, well known for their pioneering, tough-as-ham platformer Super Meat Boy.

This “mean meat machine” reimagines your grandpa’s old black-and-white puzzle games for a younger, hipper, more bloodthirsty audience. We’re delighted the wait won’t be long for this one.

Super Meat Boy fan? Team Meat?

Diablo 4’s post-launch support will keep you playing for years, according to Blizzard. General manager Rod Fergusson confirmed two expansions and free content updates.

“As I sit here, we’re about to launch the main game; we’re finishing up season one; we’re working on season two; we’re working on expansion one; we’re kicking off expansion two,” he told PC Gamer on the Kinda Funny Xcast. These two DLCs may release sooner than expected. Fergusson says the live service model lets Blizzard release content faster than Diablo III.

With tens of hours of content in the base game, Diablo 4 is massive. This could be Destiny 2 or Genshin Impact, with seasons and DLC. That thought excites or frightens you. Leave a comment and check out our Diablo 4 guide for help with the PS5 and PS4 games.
