Turrican-inspired game "GunLord" crowdfunding [indiegogo, 3DS/WiiU]

Straight from the campaign homepage:

The epic 16 bit Run N Gun action game for two legendary game consoles, the Sega Dreamcast™ and NEO·GEO™ is now heading up to 3DS and WiiU. But we need your support first to develop the game for Nintendo platforms.

We will use this campaign to fund the dev kits, the re-programming and for paying an artist to draw additional graphics. For example some of the backgrounds need to get added pixels on each side to get from 304x224 to 400x240 pixels.

Gunlord is a "eurostyle platformer" with emphasis on exploring huge worlds and blasting off enemies... (Please click 'Read more'.)

This game features 10 stages of exciting 2D game play with over 45 unique enemy types. Blast yourself through giant landscapes, explore caverns and reveal tons of secrets!!

Only for 3DS and WiiU?

Nintendo is extremely rude and evil.

If you use your camcorder to record your child playing your game on your Nintendo game system connected to your TV running on your electricity in your home then Nintendo claims that the resulting video is OWNED by Nintendo.

If you place your video which you own, on the net, then the Nintendo lawyers will file fake DMCA takedown notices against you for posting pirated videos. They will ruin your reputation. And possibly get your webspace/account terminated for being a dirty pirate.

I will never donate any money to anything that would benefit Nintendo in any way, shape, form or fashion.

Nintendo is rampaging out of control.

Here are the first 2 articles I quickly found:  (I am sure you can find lots of others if you go looking)

And here is another scam Nintendo does that I had totally forgotten about: Region Locking.  The article says they are the only Game console that still has this ripoff scam going.  It is really annoying for ppl who have to travel.

Amiga version?    I have Turrican 1,2 and 3 already on the Amiga.
Would be great to see Gunlord ported from Sega Dreamcast to Amiga.
