Because of the sucess of the Kickstarter campaign for Bloodstaind (originally posted here by Bouzoo), it looks like the Wii U and the PS Vita will be getting a port of said game.

Normal streach goals right? Well sort of. Bloodstaind is being develeoped using the Unreal 4 engine, an engine so powerful that it was previously thought the Wii U could not handle it. (See this post by bitcrush!). The news today is that the comapny responsible for the port to Wii U and Vita, Armature Studio, has said that they will share code with anyone authorized on said systems.

 

Before you roll your eyes at the idea of UE4 running on "underpowered" hardware, it's worth taking a look at Armature's pedigree. It was responsible for the Vita versions ofMetal Gear Solid, Injustice: Gods Among Us and The Unfinished Swan. With a wealth of experience developing for the Vita -- and experience with the Wii U as well -- it's unlikely the studio would be attempting the port if it didn't think it was possible. If you want to know more about the effort, Armature's technical director and co-founder Jack Mathewstalked Gamasutra through the the company's plans for porting the engine.

 

This could be really nice news for Wii U and PS Vita lovers.

Reminder that Armature was founded by major ex-Retro Studios developers. They can work magic with the hardware they're given.
