Indie studio JoyMasher has revealed that its NES-style action title Odallus: The Dark Call might be Wii U-bound — assuming it reaches its crowd-funding stretch goal of $55,000.
Inspired by the likes of Ghosts 'n Goblins, Castlevania and Demon's Crest, the game is an action platformer with RPG elements and stars the excellently-named Haggis as the central hero.
The IndieGoGo campaign has been started in order to raise funds to employ a composer to create the game's soundtrack, but a series of stretch goals have been established to help push the development that little bit further.
At the time of writing, Odallus has raised $3,460 of its initial $5,000 target with 40 days remaining. Will you be pledging your support in the hope that this comes to the Wii U?

bring as many new nes and snes style games to wii u as possible please
Hope they make it, I was very well impressed by that video last week.
I hope they know how they're putting this on wii u if they meet that stretch goal. I wasn't aware you could make Wii u games with Multimedia Fusion 2.
Looks good. It is great to see so many of these indie games heading towards Wii U
I hope they bring Odallus to WiiU.
great looking retro game and looks perfect for the eshop. seems like a lot of thought has been put into this game. here's hoping they get the funding they need!
Game looks awesome! Need more games like this, hopefully it gets to it's goal. Does looks alot like CastleVania!
I am a huge fan of the NES & SNES series Castlevania & Ghost N Goblins .... So I am all for games like this, Shovel Knight & Volgar to come to the Wii U eShop
Looks decidedly retro and seems to be interesting enough for me as a Castlevania fan, but I HAVE to get one thing off my chest:
Haggis? Really?? A sheep's stomach filled with meat and spices is the hero? REALLY???
And the girl's English is absolutely horrible, they should have let one of the guys do the explanation and especially the voice over during the gameplay scenes. During the first few moments I actually thought I was listening to a computer voice...
Personally I think it kind of looks like NES Batman, although the main character looks like he's from Kickmaster. But those RPG elements make this look like one worth playing, oddly-named hero or not!
Man, first Shovelknight and now this. I am absolutely LOVING these kinds of games. Keep 'em coming
I'll give them this: this looks EXACTLY like a combination of the 3 games they mentioned.
I'm kind of surprised more people haven't jumped into this. This looks exactly like classic NES sidescrollers and even looks like it plays similarly. I'm a sucker for action platformers in this style so I would get it if it comes to Wii-U.
Needs a 3DS goal.
haha this is sweet indeed, same guys that made oniken* (for windows, mac os x, linux)
however, i cant find anything about a 55,000$ goal for odallus, just a 5000$ one...
*shots from oniken:
Take my money!
and then theres this 20 minute thing here that everyone should watch for odallus:
Looks pretty nice!
This DOES look cool, but even if the Wii U stretch is only $30,000 now, I'm not sure they're going to make it, stading at $5,500 currently.
man i hope this game comes to wii u this all up my alley
