Question for those of us that backed the Wii U version

XombieMike asked Mana about this in December. It sounds like they are taking careful consideration in planning what to do about this situation. You can hear what Mana has to say about it in this vid: Jump to 57:10

I really dont think this should be left up to a poll. Iga should and needs to just cancel the WiiU version in favor of a Switch one while offering refunds for those unsatisfied. I really want Bloodstained to have the best chance it can get for success and that wont happen with a WiiU version. It wouldnt be the first nor will it be the last Kickstarted game that cancels a promised version. Things change and they have to adapt. 

For Iga's sake and Bloodstained's future they need to move on. WiiU backers would have PC, Mac, Linux, PS4, X1, Vita, and Switch to choose from. That's SEVEN platforms. I'm sure that by mid 2018 if they were hardcore enough to be a Nintendo only owners now they will have eventually upgraded to at least a Switch. If you backed BS on Kickstarter chances are youre a hardcore gamer and a hardcore gamer cannot possibly still be toting only a WiiU in 2018.

Hopefully it's not after, or they give us backers a chance to get a backer copy for switch. It would be a shame to miss out on the sword whip and iga fight.

Perhaps backers of Wii U will get that either way?

Then if should be on Wii U, since people backed that up.

And as I said, Switch can come later on, if people are willing to buy the game so there is a budget for that version.

If people disagree, fine with me. But that is how I would respond. Giving up on a console feels so bad. This is why we shouldn't be surprised same thing happens to Switch later on and any other consoles.

I understand the reason why people want Iga to brake his promise, but it feels wrong. Its a matter of trust. If he says he will ignore Wii U and make it instead to the Switch, I can see that too. However, it goes against the backers request (on the paper).

Dude. This game is coming out in mid 2018 at the earliest. Thats a almost one and a half years after both the Switch's launch and the death of the WiiU. Do you really, honestly think there will still be many backers left that only own a WiiU by then? It's not the same to cancel a WiiU 2015 game as it is to cancel a 2018 one.

The reason Shantae cancelled the PS3 and 360 promised versions was precisely because they saw that, by the time the game was coming out, the amount of backers left still asking for those platforms was such a minuscule amount that it made no financial sense to release them anymore. Wayforward was going to loose money on them, so they axed them.

I know Iga made a promise but if it stops making sense he needs to move on. Even if that means leaving behind a few backers who, for some godforsaken reason, are still only owning a WiiU smack dab in the middle of 2018.

Im sounding probably like a broken record but it needs to be said: we're all Iga and Bloodstained fans here first and foremost and we al want the game to succeed and turn into a franchise. And if any of that is put in jeopardy because of a port few people would play and that would be a ton of trouble doing (Unreal 4 doesnt run on WiiU) they need and should drop it like a bad habit.
