I really think so. Now I know this isn't Project Eternity but popular kickstarter projects easily make several hundred thousand in the last 4 hours. Hell an entire second city was added to Eternity.

It's fair considering Mortal Kombat looks terrible on Vita, it's better if the handheld version is made from scratch.

Finally put in my money. Yay!
You're saying you think they'll make an entirely different game for 3DS, and Vita. For $200k that's not happening.

Just backed $5 just to be part of this. I have at until tomorrow to decide if I should put in a little more.
Also, over $160,000 was raised through Kickstarter alone in the last 18 hours.

Up it to $20! That way, you at least get a digital copy of the game!

Love the addition of the Pachter quote in that update. For those who haven't seen the video, the gist is "I have no idea who Keiji Inafune is or how Japanese copyright works, but let me explain to you why you're stupid for funding this plagiarist's project."
Pretty damn funny they called attention to it. Good stuff.

Once the next gen ports are Funded, the Vita/3DS ports are all but certain, even if they fund them with proceeds of the game.
Selling on 5 platforms will all but guarantee they can afford a portable port in future.

including the Pachter quote is pure gold. I love these guys.
re. Pachter - I saw the video -- I don't think he was really trying to be mean, I think he found the question and his own answer boring and just wanted out of it. I do find it curious that he's never heard of Inafune and seems to know nothing about Mega Man. That's odd for an industry expert.

nah bro he just wants to troll people in the mighty numba 9 forums. Games are for babies.

Maybe not that mean spirited, but he said something to the effect of "your $50 will probably go toward legal fees." Industry analyst, everybody.
Any links to the video? Could do with something to rage against.
don't have an exact link but its on gametrailers.com. The shoe is called pach attack.

I'm pretty sure he only said that in the context of "if they do get sued, what happens to the backers' money? Will they get their money back?" You make it sound like he thinks that's the inevitable outcome.

I'm just saying if he doesn't know who created Mega Man or the legality of this thing, maybe he shouldn't give his clearly uneducated opinion? It was kind of a silly move on his part.
Pachter's not really a "video games" guy, outside of following the numbers. That blind spot in his background also tends to show up when he starts making predictions about the industry as a whole.
Thanks. Wow, I heard some bad things about the guy, didn't realise he is this clueless about things.
If he didn't think that was the inevitable outcome then he wouldn't have questioned why people would give him money in the first place and tell people to only back those who they think have original ideas.

From the way I understood, he was just making a blanket statement to only back people who you think have original ideas if you're worried about losing your kickstarter investment rather than attacking MN9 directly.

Wow, about 50k away from PS4 and Xbone versions! If it can clear the 3.3 million mark really soon, I think Vita/3DS has a shot to pull 200k in 24 hours.

what brought GAF down this time?
Now you need a physical copy to go with your game case, either the PC disc or USB drive [I'd recommend the latter].
I encourage you!

Wait there's still secret stretch goals?
What else are they hiding
What else are they hiding
To obtain a physical copy [either PC or USB] you need to select the tier you want and add on $26/$31 [PC] or $36/$41 [USB] in addition to whatever the tier is.
For example - $250 tier selected + $36 [for USB] = $286 pledged.
If you're International [such as myself in Canada] do not forget to add in shipping as well the additional $5 for each of the physical copies [the USB is $41 here]. My total, for the $500 tier as well as for shipping and physical USB, was $571.

Now less than 24 hours left, and the Paypal+Kickstarter total is about $3.25 million. Any guesses as to what the final numbers will be?
I think he's viewing this from the perspective of an investor, and in that sense, he's right: This is a terrible investment. No financial return, and all the rewards boil down to games and game-related tchotchkes, which don't have intrinsic value to an investor.
Basically, as soon as any gaming conversation moves out of the purely financial and into the region of passion, of caring about the artform, he's out of his comfort zone. And there's nothing wrong with that, of course; that's not his role in the industry. But ultimately: Let us have our passions! It's the tiny bit of the industry that *isn't* faceless, isn't predicated on producing for the mass market; it's the bit that introduced us, it's the bit that's - to some small extent - *ours*.

My guess for the total is $3.43 million including Paypal. I think we'll get close to handhelds but we won't reach it.

Pachter on the booze? That or he's suffered a head trauma. Jabbering away at the end like a fool.

Man, this is so exciting. If this project comes even close to realizing its full potential... I really need to control my hype for something 2 years out

Just increased my pledge from 60 to 99. I would do 120, but I'm tight on money as it is and with Udon doing the art book, I'll take my chances and hope it'll be on their site later.
