Crowdfunding efforts are becoming taboo topics in this age of greed and deceit. So much so that great campaigns like Cult County are under the radar. Are gamers making a mistake by not backing this project?
"It’s been made clear recently that the indie community is one of Nintendo’s biggest supporters for the current generation, as more and more indie games are announced for the Wii U and 3DS every day. As such, we want to highlight some of these independent developers that are supporting Nintendo consoles the most, taking a look at their history and where they might go in the future. If you have ever been at all interested in the indie scene, chances are that you’ve heard of Renegade Kid...."
Sometimes Kickstarter isn’t the answer.
To be honest I think it was condemned from the beginning, I mean $580.000 was way too much to ask in my opinion. Maybe they can get the money from other investors.
They should have shown off SOMETHING unique. All they did was walk around with a wrench in a spooky atmosphere.
Yeah, I know, "bu bub but it's early footage!". Well guess what? That's an awful excuse for trying to sell a game with uninteresting footage. Get something together and present the game a few weeks further down the road if you don't have anything to show. No one is giving you money for that.
Wii U, steam, Ps4, PS3, PS Vita, Xbox One, 3DS...
I've always said it's a bad sign when a developer wants to create a game on every system under the sun for a tiny amount of money (half a million is tiny in game devs terms - especially to be porting a game to 7 platforms).
Renegade kid is still fairly new and doesn't seem to have the most business savvy.
Welcome to the latest edition of Nintendo Enthusiast: Week in Review! This week Shawn Long breaks down all the latest Nintendo news such as Fatal Frame hitting the Wii U, Nintendo offering a season pass in Mario Golf: World Tour, the Mario Kart 8 bundle coming to Europe, and much more. Be sure to stick around for the Super Mario Bros. Super Show Rap dance at the end, and be sure to subscribe to keep up to date with all the latest content from Nintendo Enthusiast!
That was just a VC game though. Port Mother 3 with English patch, then that's a little more interesting.
No, ptown.
Do not try to use "it was just a VC title" as an excuse.
VC or physical, an in-demand game is an in-demand game.
There was huge fan demand for that, and Nintendo brought it out.
You can't downplay that as an insignificant thing when it wasn't.
It would be nice if Nintendo localized that collection on GBA on the Wii U VC. That would be pretty awesmoe and Earthbound's success as a VC game might generate interest for such a localization. :)
"Hey, Nintendo of America... BRING IT TO THE STATES THIS TIME!"
'Nuff Said.
"Excellent" and "Yes" from me.
This was a no-brainer, considering the WiiU controller is perfect for such a game. I actually thought it would be a launch game.
Seeing the state Wii U is in, I don't think Nintendo has much choice but to release it state side. Wii need games.
Fatal Frame V better come to the states! I'm looking into getting a Wii from Japan and a copy of Fatal Frame 4 just so I can play it.
If they withhold that game, I will eat my socks. They cannot afford NOT to localize that game when Wii U gamers need more content and everyone else need the incentive to buy one.
I'm a PS4 owner but I backed it.
Not a Nintendo franchise
Giving my personal reason: I have no Wii U (yet), and I have no money (which brings me back to my first problem). That's basically it.
The fact that other people have not backed it, I have no idea why. Maybe it's the lack of information that's holding back the funding.
I hope the project gets funded (at this pace, I don't know how, but a man can dream), so everyone can enjoy it.
Wii U Owners?
I am skeptical about the entire idea of kickstarter programs. I dont believe in paying for something before the work and effort is put into it, especially if I am not going to make money from the project (as normal investors do)
I will say I broke down for only one project, and that is
H Hour. The thought of a new David Sears tactical shooter gives me chills.
