Hyper Light Won't Be Drifting Over To The PS Vita Or Wii U
One of this year's indie gems was originally planned for release on the Vita and Wii U, but those ports have been cancelled.
In a recent Kickstarter update, indie developer Heart Machine cited health reason for why it would no longer be bringing indie hit Hyper Light Drifter to the PlayStation Vita or Wii U. The developer did promise that those who Kickstarted the game hoping to get Wii U or Vita version will be able to exchange their keys for a different version of the game on any other platform or receive a refund. You can watch the full video update below.

Our Take
This is unfortunate for Vita and Wii U owners, since Hyper Light Drifter is one of the best indie games of the year. However, the game is already available for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Mac, and Linux, so hopefully you can find a way to play this great game somewhere else.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
