Kickstarter has been a great place for Indies to get games funded for PC, Wii U, and other systems. Developers have gotten games funded this way, though some developers haven't been as lucky. You just never know what people want to fund and what they won't want to fund.
A game that is currently on Kickstarter and going through the funding process is Wizard's Day by Michael S. Tonder of @ToneRedStudios. It is being developed for PC/Mac/Linux first, with a stretch goal for Wii U. Currently it has $5,087. It needs $15,000 for PC/etc, but it needs $25,000 for Wii U. It needs to get this by December 17th. I hope it makes it.
Why?
Wizard's Day is an adventure/platformer. It stars a Wizard (duh) trying to collect pieces of a wizard's staff to break a powerful spell. The gameplay is very retro, think the second Legend of Zelda but with even more jumping. The graphics are 3D dimensional and pretty good. It looks like a fun game.
Take a look at some screenshots from the Kickstarter page:

Good luck to the developers! I hope to see the game on the Wii U.
I'll be back tomorrow with my thoughts on the new Legend of Zelda Wii U footage that was released yesterday.
