Ynnis Interactive has been running a Kickstarter campaign in order to bring Mysterious Cities of Gold: Secret Paths, the puzzle adventure game based on the Japanese-French animated series of the same name, to other nations in English.
It has now reached its goal and international Wii U and 3DS players will be able to take control of Esteban, Zia and Tao in their quest for the Cities of Gold.
We caught up with Fleur Marty, the executive producer of the upcoming release, and she was very pleased about the game's success and thanked everyone who helped make the dream a reality:
We are so grateful to all the backers! We are overwhelmed by the support our project has received. To be honest this whole adventure is going way beyond our expectations!
She confirmed the project will now have stretch goals and should the campaign bring in $40,000 there will be five more languages as subtitles - Italian, German, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese and Swedish. There will also be a Polish set of subtitles added as a professional translator volunteered themselves for the job.
There are more high level pledge rewards too as both $6,000 awards were claimed by the campaign's second day. Fleur's favourite new reward is the $7,000 tier where the backer will be able to design their own level in the game, which will be released as downloadable content in the future.
You can check out our interview with Fleur to find out what to expect from Mysterious Cities of Gold: Secret Paths. Ynnis Interactive is hoping to release the game in other nations at the same time as France.

Looks interesting. But I don't think many Europeans have heard of it.
I sent this to you guys yet no citation? For shame!
I quite enjoyed the cartoons as a kid. I will keep my eye on this.
@FishieFish It was aired in Portugal at least, it was quite popular.
We will be waiting in North America and Europe Can't wait I love what this game looks like
@Windy I dunno if they even confirmed a NA version
I want a US release so. Very. Badly. D: <3
This game has an Aztec feel to it.
Definitely will be getting this!
It looks great I will be getting both 3ds and wiiu versions.
So many great games on Kickstarter. I'm getting this for the 3DS. I loved the show as a kid. Thanks for the info!
@FishieFish In the UK it aired on the main TV channel, BBC One
I remember watching this on TV when I was young... I'm afraid though that the game will not live up to the nostalgia, and I hope that I'm being proved wrong on this when it finally comes out...
And the fact that there will be Polish subtitles? That actually shocked me, but also shows how popular was the show in my country.
