I would rather kickstart this:


Wollstonecraft

A Snicketesque girl-power adventure featuring Ada Lovelace and Mary Shelley at 11 and 14 in 1826 London, for ages 8-12.

Too bad it's just a comic. I'd play that as a video game.

Grim Dawn is an action role-playing game for PC and a spiritual successor to Titan Quest. For the past two years a small team of former Iron Lore veterans at Crate Entertainment have been developing Grim Dawn with their own, improved version of the Iron Lore engine and tools; the same technology used to create Titan Quest.

Epic sci-fi rpg on every system imaginable.  Will be made for $25,000.



First real scam on kickstarter?  Keep the amount low enough that you can actually hit it with some scam page, take the money and run.

Videogame scams on Kickstarter?

As for Kitaru, some of their stuff actually looks kinda cool. But the idea that they only need $25,000 to make what they're talking about is EL-OH-EL.

Vic's kickstarter isn't a scam, it's just really stupid and for a game no one wants with a goal way out of their senses.  Luckily, it won't hit that and everyone will get their money back.

Kitaru is an interactive sci-fi epic that breaks the mold of RPG storytelling. Its innovative, postmodern storytelling approach thrusts the dystopian fantasy of George Orwell's "1984" into the realm of classic gaming's Chrono Trigger, Shadowrun and Metal Gear Solid.

All for just 25 grand!

The Genesis version is the bigger, deeper game, from what I understand, but the SNES version is easier to get into.

I really loved the SNES game back then. Really nailed the atmosphere, the story is good and I liked the cyberspace elements. The controls are a bit dumb because you sometimes control a mouse like cursor with the dpad. For me it was the first game in a cyberpunk scenario which added to the appeal; if you're into that I would give it a shot. Maybe use a guide, because some stuff can be a bit easy to miss and you end up running through the game world because you missed a hint or a pixelsized item.

Haven't played the Genesis game, but I've heard it's even better then the SNES game.

As long as Iwata's still in charge and Nintendo is making hardware (and they will be if Iwata's in charge), then their software will be exclusive to that hardware.

I mean I guess the board could punt Iwata and install some puppet CEO so Nintendo will make smartphone apps, but frankly, seems unlikely to me at this point in time. If there was any time to do that, it was like last July.

I don't think it's as much Iwata as it is the old man.  As long as the old man is alive, Nintendo bows to *no one*.  We'll see how things go when he finally dies in 300 years from a wooden stake through his blackened heart.

Forgot about Hiroshi Nosferatu. He's the largest stakeholder yeah? What percentage of shares?

Edit- Ah 10%. Wonder who'll get that when he goes.
