I'm on mobile so I can't grab the link just yet, but it was announced long ago that they will be following the Shovel Knight content release pattern.
I don't think its going to make it

Does this mean Vita is abandoned ;_;
Its 9 years late! How the hell are they getting away with this?!
This thing's got fucking SF2 on it.

Well that's unfortunate... I hope Nintendo eventually rethinks this policy, even if they only make some rare exceptions for some of the bigger titles.
A new version of SF2.
I imagine that's exempt because it's never been on any non-Nintendo consoles.
I mean eShop exclusive indie games.
Btw I can't find the quote right now, but I'm not just making this up, there was a dev on twitter that said they are mainly interested in new stuff. They're making some exceptions, but don't expect too many older indie games to end up on the Switch. At least initially.

I hope they give the ability for refunds on the cancelled Wii U version soon.

No, that was confirmed last week in the Indie Showcase.

Yesssssss!!!
Still, I wonder what will happen to the specific port of UE4 to Wii U which they were doing extra for this game...

Why?
I feel like Kickstarter leads to this type of confusion. Usually, when a game is announced, the developer is far into development and has something to show. When Bloodstained was Kickstarted it was, of course, just beginning development. It's not like a normal game release schedule - it was funded before there was even a game there. So it's just normal development time now.
There are builds out there and it plays well. It's a promising game. I wouldn't worry.

What's with all the doom and gloom? Last update wasn't that long ago and it looked like it was coming along nicely
Why are people assuming the Switch version will be ported by Armature?
The reason the Vita/Wii U versions were outsourced was because Armature will have to port UE4 to those systems. Switch supports UE4(and very well by the looks of it) and Inti-Creates just released a Switch launch game.

...TowerFall Ascension? Cave Story? Overcooked?
The heck are you talking about???

I wonder, what come first - Bloodstained or La-Mulana 2? 😄 (and which game disappoint the most)
Nah, he's right. Damon said it on NVC; for now they're looking primarily at unreleased stuff and wanting release date parity if possible.
No, it's officially delayed, someone should inform Nintendo to update the image.

Towerfall and Overcooked get a pass for being perfect multiplayer games for the Switch (also Overcooked is still recent enough). Nicalis gets a pass because they've supported them a lot in the past and they're also bringing over Redout and BoI Afterbirth+ so their older ports that come later are probably okay because of that (and they're not coming out first).
It's kind of insane to worry anyway. It's still within a reasonable time frame, we even only JUST hit the originally promised date, and we've had both Kickstarter and major publisher titles slip by far more; Torment, Cosmic Star Heroine, Persona 5 anyone? Seriously, those are 3 games that were advertised for Holiday 2014 and only just now are coming out.
EDIT: I also half expect blame space to be joking or trolling there, it's the people taking that seriously that need to pay attention to actual precedent.
Yep. Hence "on the whole".

Forever ? We have one update per month at least and every aspect of the game has been promising so far. It's just normal game dev time.
Heck we even have a playable demo ( even if that version is old now )

Delayed? It was always supposed to be released in 2018.

I backed this game for the Wii U version. If that one is no longer coming, I sure hope they'll allow people in my situation to change it over to the Switch version.
Nope, original estimated release date when the Kickstarter launched was actually this month.

looks beautiful, but the videos it looks it might be a very easy game.

Excellent game guys. If you're a Switch owner that hasn't played it yet, buy it.

Huh?
Porting teams for obscure dying platforms that only a handful people use anymore need to eat too. Stop being so elitist!
God, I still remember being called out on "concern trolling" for telling that those ports were a dumb idea.

Think you have the wrong thread, or thought of the wrong game with "Blood" in the title.

now, waiting for mighty no. 9 announced before 3ds release
Nice. Castlevania back where it belongs, on a Nintendo portable
Why? Lol. I haven't seen anything as much as hinting that this won't release.

I hope they're willing to take the wii-u port out behind the shed now. Switch seems like the no-brainer system for this.
They post updates all the time. Making games, even indie ones takes considerable effort. Games get delayed all the time too. This is hardly a disaster, or unexpected.

Igavanias aren't exactly known for their difficulty bar two games so eh.
