Please tell me that the Vita version hasn't been cancelled. I was planning on playing Bloodstained during my work breaks.
I hope it wasn't, either. There's no word on it and it seems Armature is still going ahead with it, but it's 2016 and the Vita is dying out pretty quickly in the west. I'm worried that by 2018 there won't be much of an audience and they wind up cancelling that port.
if they want to keep morale high, they'll do Wii U version instead of moving it to NX version. just because NX is coming doesn't automatically make Wii U irrelevant to its owners. look how old 3DS is and still supported, and Wii U has better hardware than that.
they said Wii U, so they should stick with the platforms they kickstarted the game for and got the stretch goals for.
And that's likely what they'll do: stick with a Wii U version rather than moving it over to NX.
But it has less to do with how old the console is and more the support for it. 3DS is old, but Nintendo and third-party companies are supporting the hell out of it. Wii U on the other hand? It didn't have very good third-party support to begin with and Nintendo seems to be all but ditching the system as well, porting over a lot of the major titles to 3DS. Paper Mario: Color Splash is the only major title I can think of for this back half of 2016 to come out for the Wii U (counting only console-exclusive games).
The only other exclusives coming out for it is Super Destronaut 2 -- whatever that is -- later this month. If the market for the Wii U dies out when we start nearing 2018 (which it likely will do once the NX is officially unveiled), they might cancel the Wii U version
at the very worst. It might still come out, though, since PSP died back in 2011 in the west but still received support from niche third-party developers up until the end of 2015.
