I thought the dungeon key would show all the dungeon level stretch goals, not just show a broken door and the next stretch goal.
That was underwhelming

I believe this track originated from Bloodlines but the Circle of the Moon version is the one I always remember. So nostalgic for me it's insane. Circle was my first metroidvania and I hadn't played a Metroid game at all at that point.

What? Wasn't it Deep Silver? Where's this Square with Mighty No 9 talk coming from!?
That played on a GBA!? HOW!?

Yes, this is really silly. Literally no difference to what it was before. I don't see the point of hiding the stretch goals. Nobody does that.

Where all them whiners at about the wiiu port first saying it wouldn't be a stretch goal and then saying it would ruin the developement of the game? We have nice heaping piles of crow for you to devour
Beautifully.
Cool, well if wii u is getting a physical copy, that'll be my physical one, and PC will be my definitive digital version.
I'm in the camp of 'never had real hopes it was real, never doubted it either, but i'm glad it is, and it'll be the version i support'

What loading screen?
Also: do this WiiU port also confirms the WiiU would get a physical release? Or maybe it'll be digital only?

Wii U port confirmed:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/iga/bloodstained-ritual-of-the-night/posts/1243827
Let the cheering and gnashing of teeth commence.
It's gonna be outsourced, btw.
Thank God it will be outsourced, and to a decent studio it seems. Let the backing commence, Nintendiehards!
The goal below the Wii U port. With the two people and the hourglass?
It's just like the old country.
At this point, I'm hoping live instrumentation was already in there to begin with, given the investor funding. It's possible the samples are just early demos.

Im not sure this port will see the light of the day,just a feeling.
I thought all kickstarter backers got the same game w/ the same content?
What a horrible night to own a Wii U.
Have some confidence.
$60 tier and above gets a few bonus items compared to $28.

As in, the kickstarter won't reach 3 million? because that is a matter of few days really.

The game already has local and online co-op though I assume for the whole campaign, wouldn't that basically play the same as HoD? Or are you talking about a mode where you get a big full screen castle and the two players can split up to race?

I'm distressed that we have the basement key, but all the dungeon stretch goals are not visible. It says we have the basement key and that is still the text for that achievement.
But all the basement goals are still only revealing one at a time.
I want to know everything! Tell me everything!
I will say though that two-player speed run is an unexpected stretch goal, but a cool one. It's just underwhelming for a 3.25m goal. Assuming that's what it is.
I'm still poised for a Vita port from Armature and that orchestrated soundtrack.

Oh shit! Glad I backed this now, I hope the backer physical version can be a Wii U copy if they make that goal. I love my Wii U, and off tv play for this would be sweet.
Yeah, I know what you mean =/ March 2017 is expected release, and I worry that the Wii U won't even be a thing at that point even for Nintendo honestly...

HoD was all about dat sweet loot.
It can't be that. It couldn't possibly be something this amazing.
Yeah, no game can be this perfect. We're already getting an igavania that happens to have a classic castlevania bonus mode. And 2 player co op for at least some portion of the game.
A castlevania HD mode would be tooooo good. Way too good. Like, needs way more time and money good. Sure, it's reusing assets, but it would need a lot more time and money.
Maybe something like how shovel knight is doing its bonus stuff? Release it as future free DLC?

GBA was capable of great music - but at a cost of CPU power and cart space that most developers weren't willing to give up (heck, the next game after Circle of the Moon used the GBC music channels). Here's another example of what the GBA audio could do - jump ahead to 7:12 for the end credits of Everything or Nothing GBA:

As for the next hidden stretch goal, maybe that's online speedrun leaderboards or something similar.

Entire game co-op with toe jam and earl split mechanic so players can go in separate directions around the castle

What kind of shit are y'all talking about? I'm only in my first Castlevania.
Same here. My money's just sitting here, dude! Just take it!
It has online co-op?
I think so. He talks about having co-op in the pitch video, before local co-op was funded.

Probably streamed audio samples. Even the SNES games like Tales of Phantasia and Star Ocean could do voice streams on their carts via the SPC700, in fact Tales of Phantasia had opening song that was fully voiced, on a SNES cart no less.

I believe some GBA games have some voice samples too, so a streamed audio song that was ripped from Rondo of Blood doesn't seem too farfetched.

Metroid folks on Igavania, this was meant to be.
Oh okay it's the PRIME folks, "Metroidvania" is based on the 2D games IIRC, but still.

I guess they could put the game into a holographic virtual arcade machine in the NX Hologram...

I pledged games before but I only ever gave a single pledge without increasing.
I am on a fixed budget, so say I pledged $30 this month, Is it possible to for example pledge $30 on June 3rd, and then wait until a later time and increase it. If I at least pledge once before, so it possible to add more later, or is the amount I give locked in and unable to change once the campaign ends?

Most excellent.
I will upgrade to a physical copy (or greater) once the Wii U goal has been passed.

Is it fair to extrapolate the last few days' income as a control, and distill any increase of income from the next couple days to determine what worth the Wii U target adds to the campaign? I'm not against it being a platform, especially when outsourced, just curious how much of an extra draw it is.

It would expect the Wii U version to be very different then the PS4, XB1, and PC versions.
Only on the basis is that it is being outsourced to Armature Studio and won't be developed directly by Iga and IntiCreates.
This means the PC, PS4, and XB1 versions are going to be designed unhindered at Iga's intended vision without any compromises.
If you are pledging for the Wii U version with the mindset expecting to get a similar product in terms of scope and quality because the last few Castlevania games were Nintendo release, do be careful that what you receive may not be the same and have some caveats go along with it due to the nature of not being developed internally in house and being outsourced.
