But there's a sacrifice in the process. The Wii U version of Bloodstained has been cancelled with the change in Nintendo platforms.The game's director, Koji Igarashi, discussed the Nintendo system shakeup on Kickstarter . "During our Kickstarter campaign, the Wii U was at the height of its popularity, but the situation has drastically changed after the release of Nintendo Switch," he said."This change made it difficult to receive the necessary support from the hardware maker, which has led us to drop the Wii U development and shift the development to Nintendo Switch." Bloodstained was announced for Wii U after achieving a $3 million stretch goal back in 2015. Refunds are available upon request for Kickstarter backers of Bloodstained, or otherwise, you can pick a different console edition of the game.The 2.5D action-adventure game from the former Castlevania series producer was delayed to 2018 . Late last year, Igarashi explained why Bloodstained was pushed back , pointing to additional developer support as one reason.505 Games will serve as Bloodstained's publisher
