Get the card combo that lets you do the thunder summon, spam till victory
I think Rondo's soundtrack was appropriate (great even) for a sidescroller of it's day. But then SotN needed more music due to it's nature as a Metroidvania, and they delivered in spades. SotN spoiled you.
And then Circle of the Moon (a GBA launch game) opened with this bold statement of "I can keep up with the best music of CD games like Rondo and SotN" and people's jaws hit the floor (even though that particular track was straight ripped from Rondo). And then the GBA proved itself horribly unsuited to keeping up that pace, and Harmony of Dissonance stepped in and said "Can we go back to 8-bit please? We're kind of dying here."

Read his post again.
I see nothing in the description suggesting there will be an orchestral version of the soundtrack for Bloodstained, at ANY price. A CD copy of the game music soundtrack? Yes. A fully orchestrated version of it? No.

I must be close if the eyeball bats stage is the last bit, just got to not bugger up my evading of that warping dash attack.
Can I just say while the various card abilities are neat and all, screw these drop rates, I've only got about half of the things.
Well If I get desperate it's card grind time, though I think I'll tough it out as funky as summons sound.

There is an exploit in the game where if you activate a card, then pause during the activation animation, then switch to another card combo even one you don't have either card for, you can still use that card combination.
Ah, whoops. I guess $30 is possible then, though I can see $60 and $40 may well be the sweet spot between profit and seeming like a good value for Bloodstained.
And the fact the distributor is Square Enix for MN9 in NA just makes this all the more surreal. Doubly so if Deep Silver is the secret publisher of Bloodstained.
Sorry if this is common knowledge already, but I'm new to this kickstarter thing and I have a few questions:
- Are physical rewards only an USA/Europe thing or do they send it to any country? If so, do I have to pay any taxes and/or shipping?
- You're only charged when the project is successfully funded, right? So if I make a pledge I'll have to pay for it in July, right?
- Are physical rewards only an USA/Europe thing or do they send it to any country? If so, do I have to pay any taxes and/or shipping?
- You're only charged when the project is successfully funded, right? So if I make a pledge I'll have to pay for it in July, right?
I believe they ship anywhere, but it does come with an extra cost which they state. As for taxes... well, I suppose it would depend on the destination and whether or not it has a strict import policy?
Yes, you'll only get charged once the campaign ends, however, I do believe that's on the 11th or 12th of June and not July.
I'll be seriously annoyed if 1.- there's no such stretch goal or if 2.- they put it far beyond what the KS can gross (seems like it's winding down a lot). This would be more important to me than the game itself to be honest.

True, I've edited my post before anyone quotes me and jumps to conclusions. xD
Armature (the ex-Retro Studio guys, Arkham Origins Blackgate) is handling the port.
How did the Wii U port of that game turn out? It's a different engine (Bluepoint's engine they made for PSASBR, IIRC), but that should give some kind of indication for what to expect.

Um, wasn't the basement key supposed to show us all the stretch goals in the basement..?

Now everyone who was insisting the Wii U port would hurt development of the main game can stop.
Crazy how the language in this email is virtually identical to the language of what I and others have been saying the whole time.
Armature is a fantastic choice.

No one knew for sure so people being cautious is fine.
I experience all dimensions of time simultaneously, like a jewel. Why does my perception of time frighten you?

Perhaps not 100%, but given the MN9 handheld situation, it was a better than good chance all along.

Yeah, this is a good compromise. It doesn't detract from Inti's effort, while providing people with another option to play the game. I wonder how many people are going to get this version on retail on 2017 though.

Great news. Probably worthy of a new thread.
Yep. I can't imagine what else it would be.

Heavily considering the physical tier now for the Wii U version.

Figured they would farm out the port. Seems like the company has done a lot of vita ports, as well as the handsome collection and batman Blackgate.
Yeah, it's odd. They've updated the backer unlocks to show it's unlocked, but the update didn't mention it and the castle hasn't been updated to show the entire basement.
Oh hey look, its almost like IGA and his crew knew what they were doing and were neither incompetent nor liars when they said they didn't want to compromise the game whilst allowing the maximum number of people enjoy it. Imagine that 
Now everybody wins!
Yeah, what's this all about with some dungeon goals still obscured by shadows?

Good shit, maybe now the Wii U goal will be reached and I can play this, but this game won't be out for years anyway so I will probably have a PS4 by then.
They STILL don't have this? Come on, the synth in those samples sounds like garbage. Just a string section would do wonders.

it says at the next stretch goal, which hasn't been reached.
so no wiiu port until 3mil.

Not sure how I feel about a Wii U port to be honest. Then again, it's not like this type of game was going to push the PC, PS4, or XB1 so maybe I'm worrying for nothing.
Edit: Looks like I have nothing to worry about.

For fuck's sake the next stretch goal after the wii u port isn't an orchestrated soundtrack? The fuck are these people doing. Put these added monies to some real use.
Oh, I get it. The key just means we can unlock goals in the basement. They are still going to dribble them out 1 by 1. Very misleading.

Woo!
I don't see why you should be feeling bad about it. They're handing it off to an entirely different studio, and while I doubt they're going to be totally hands-off with it, they've already said that development on the previously announced versions won't be affected by this port's existence.

Sweet. Time to up my pledge to include both a digital and physical copy. (Wii U and PC)
Oh, I might have to do this. There may be Wii U exclusive stuff...
