Indie developer Lefthanded Games Studio, LLC. announced today in an update on their Kickstarter page that they are now officially Wii U developers.  In that same announcement Lefthanded Game Studio removed the Wii U as a stretch goal on the Kickstarter for their game Lobodestroyo.  Now if the funding goal of $35,000 is met Lobodestroyo will be coming to the Wii U.

Lefthanded Games Studio, LLC. is now an official Nintendo indie developer! We got the call from Nintendo yesterday and are now ready to roll with Wii-U!

Due to NDA’s we just signed with Nintendo we can’t go into too much depth but we now have accurate costs for the necessary dev hardware to port Lobodestroyo to the Wii-U console.

We have restructured the costs and expenses as a team, and taking into account the massive interest from the Nintendo community on this game we have decided tolower the Wii-U goal. In fact we are going to abolish the stretch goal entirely and absorb the cost into our initial goal. So long and short of it:

Wii-U is now included in the goal total!!

Lobodestroyo will come to Wii-U if we reach our initial asking goal. The Wii-U stretch goal has been removed and the subsequent stretches adjusted to reflect this change!

With two weeks left in or campaign we really hope that this news makes Lobodestroyo all the more enticing for Nintendo fans. If you where on the fence about Lobo being able to reach its Wii-U goal please consider supporting the project now! The Wii-U is a perfect platform for Lobodestroyo and we are really excited that the Nintendo community, and our backers, have voiced their opinion to make sure that it gets there.

Lobodestroyo has only 12 more days on Kickstarter and is 32% funded with $11,479 of the $35K needed to successfully fund the game project.  Head over to the Lobodestroyo Kickstarter and back Lefthanded Game Studio to help bring the game to the Wii U!

Lobodestroyo is an old-school action platformer inspired by games like Banjo-Kazooie and Mega-Man.  A collect-a-thon adventure game for those of us who have a hard time getting out of the N64 days.
