Even though fans of Hyper Light Drifter were able to fund the game enough via Kickstarter to reach a stretch goal that would allow the game to come to Wii U, the version, along with the Vita port, have both been canceled by the developer. 

Hyper Light Drifter met the stretch goal of $550,000 back in October of 2013. 

Developer Alex Preston posted a video for Kickstarter backers explaining the delay. Apparently, porting the game to the Wii U & Vita would require too much work, resulting in the team having to build it from the ground up.

The release of Hyper Light Drifter on PS4 & Xbox One seemed to come and go rather quickly this past July. Have thoughts on the cancellation? Upset about the news? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section!
