To Mr Igarashi and The Bloodstained team

This petition is made by Wii U owners who backed your Kickstarter "Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night", every single person wants to see this project, the spiritual successor to Castlevania, come to fruition and we were more than happy to see you include Nintendo's often forgotten console.

Sadly, with the recent announcement of its successor, Switch, and its planned release early next year, Wii U owners have to face the difficult reality that time isn't on this console's side. The past few weeks have seen numerous titles including Stardew Valley and even fellow Kickstarted project Yooka Laylee announce they are cancelling their Wii U versions in favor of the new system.



Bloodstained will not be released until 2018, by that time the Switch will be very much the main focus of Nintendo and all its partners and we feel its in this games best interest that it make the switch too, no pun intended (ok maybe a little).

You said recently that its basically our decision whether or not the Wii U version lives and we feel that your time would be better used developing for a system that better accommodates your vision.
