What they could do, too late for the kickstarter though, is partner up with someone who makes custom NES cartridge things and make a fake NES cart with Shovel Knight art.

I've seen some that act as USB hard drives so it could even have the game on them. This looks like they just mod existing carts though, would probably make more sense to find someone to manufacture (3D print?) new ones.

That WOULD be neat as a high end reward, and about as close as you can get short of just making it a case for a CD or whatever. Or at least make it Famicom size, both are kind of excessive for USB flash storage but the NES moreso. Doing that route would require a mock Japanese label too though.

Kinda bummed that the Wii U and 3DS versions are more expensive than the Steam one, I would prefer to play it on my 3DS. The game looks like a lot of fun though and I'm glad to see so many people have backed it.

The final price is supposed to be the same over all platforms, I think, they're just charging extra for the download code rewards because the devs can't just give away Wii U/3DS download codes for free, there's a cost attached to them by Nintendo.

I'd love to back this but since I'm in Europe I don't know if this will release at the same time or if it will take a lot longer.. So I'll probably just get it when it's finally out.

I'm not entirely sure of the full details, but apparently indie games that are voted on enough are eventually listed on the Steam store.

If people keep bumping this as it winds down, I'll probably back it for a WiiU version in about 10 hours. On the fence and about to take a nap.

The dictionary is your friend:

cuss (kʌs)
Informal.
v.i.
1. to use profanity; curse; swear.

Intentionally trying to shit up a thread with inflammatory language and then catching feelings when someone calls them names must be some new sport I haven't heard of.

I was telling you to give up with this little tirade.

If you don't like the game, don't shit on everyone else's dinner and then moan when we don't want shit on our dinner. Go elsewhere.

I can't believe they might actually make it to $300k! Oh my god <3

Can't wait for this game.

And what did they do to you jett? You don't have your tag anymore and your avatar is all happy. Did Derrick dethrone you?

In case you want to know where you went wrong:

+ Your first post amounted to nothing, seemingly derisively dismissing all retro/8-bit/16-bit indie games as "fucking shit" because they're not taking full advantage of, er, " the most advanced console currently on the market".

+ Your claim of there being better Wii U games to play is kind of tenuous, besides subjective and ignore the obvious point that not everyone likes/hates what you like/hate. Also, hey? This is coming out on multiple platforms. Woah!

+ Your next reply is "fu lol" which I guess is how the kids are spelling "fuck you" these days?

+ Your next reply is talking about how you're going to report a member for cussing, which they didn't do, but you sure as shit did

+fuckcuntbuttshitcockslut <--- We can do this on here!

I don't know, I could go on, but I wanted to get you started on the path of finding out what went wrong.

Just ignore him. I think the game looks good, but I'm not sure if it's going to meet the $300K it needs for the best mode. I can't tell which version I want to get. 3DS seems good for the pick up and play style, but Wii U might be good for the battle mode, plus off screen.

Just keep posting, keep the topic near the top.

Game lineup on the stream looks really good but I don't feel like watching it for some reason.

Anyway, I just put down $60 on this. Officially my first kickstarter! However - how do I specify which version I want to download? Or is that done later down the line?
