The internet rage will not end when one of the games inevitably underdelivers.

Btw, what happened to Double Fine Adventures? I remember a lot of hype for that game but I haven't heard anything about it, and I think that was like a year ago.

Looks good. I personally like adventure games a lot, and almost everything that comes from Double Fine is gold in my eyes, so I look forward to this.

Just pledged for that, since they don't make that kind of game any more and the prototype looks playable right now.
There have been many books on video games, alongside an ocean of interview material. Steven Kent's Ultimate History of Video Games is an excellent example. There are, however, few which are in English and focus on Japan. Chris Kohler's Power-Up is one of the best, while David Sheff's Game Over is another. The only other option is a lifetime subscription to multiple video game magazines.
Given the global impact of Japanese video games, and the country's rich history which is seldom documented in English, I feel this needs remedying. While there are plenty of books produced in Japan, seldom are they made available in English. Famicom History 1983-1994 is one example, and featured eight extremely candid interviews, in both languages. But there needs to be more. There are so many Japanese developers from over the decades who have fascinating stories, but they don't have the opportunity to communicate with English speaking audiences. Even sadder, renowned developers continue to pass away, preventing further discussion: Fukio Mitsuji (Bubble Bobble), Shinya Nishigaki (Climax Entertainment), Kenji Eno (WARP) to name three.
My proposal: enact a solution akin to an ocean-bound icebreaker.
Fly to Japan in September, hire the best Japanese/English interpreters money can find, and then - using my extensive list of contacts - make stuff happen. Interview as many developers as possible in less than three months, with a focus on undocumented information and developers who have never been interviewed before. Transcribe the English interpretation, then edit, design and create the most extensive, most comprehensive, most ambitious book about video games ever envisioned. This epic tome will contain trivia and stories of Japanese video game history never documented anywhere else in English.
This year marks the 30th Anniversary of Nintendo's Famicom and the MSX home computer - now is the time to create such a book.
This book will not be a nostalgia trip. I am determined to have every page contain at least one previously unknown fact, anecdote or piece of trivia. My passion has always been the undocumented side of games, and regardless of who I speak with, my intention will always be to ask them something no one else ever has. This would truly document The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers.

Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm, an original 2D fighting game by an Japanese indie game development team comprised of three former SNK / King of Fighters staff. The purpose of the campaign is to power up and complete the game that has our labor of love for the last six years: Yatagarasu.
With your support, we will add new characters, new features, and fully localize the game to into a new version that we will bring to gamers all over the world: Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm!
Yatagarasu is an original 2D fighting game for PC (Windows) which features 8 playable characters, high quality old school graphics, and gameplay that is easily accessible to anyone. You can see the trailer for the latest version of Yatagarasu in our IndieGogo Gallery.
We’ve worked hard to make Yatagarasu a fighting game that everyone can enjoy by creating a simple structure and straightforward gameplay without the clutter of lots of unnecessary features. Our game also features a completely unique commentary system which provides dynamic commentary in real time based on developments in the match.
Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm will bea brand new version of Yatagarasu with all-new new characters and many new features, and which will be fully localized into English for gamers around the world.
Our small team has being developing Yatagarasu with limited funding for six years. Developing a 2D fighting game is extremely time-consuming and expensive, but we’ve made up for our lack of resources by putting lots of time into the game. But, progress on development has been slow and we are not sure that we will be able to continue developing the game with this approach.
We are seeking funding to allow us to make a leap in progress and also to add new elements that we otherwise might not be able to include. A successful funding campaign will allow us to do this and complete the game we have always wanted to make: Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm.
Our campaign is for flexible funding, which means that we will still receive most of the contributions provided, even if we are unable to reach our funding goal. In this case, we will proceed with work on Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm and use the contributions we have received to fund as much as possible of the new features and improvements. We will make up for the shortfall in funding wherever possible by putting more time into development, but progress on teh game will be much slower.
＊Screenshot from an earlier version
If we reach our funding target of $68,000, we will add the below new features. Each item has the required cost listed to show how all of the funds will be used.
Includes pixel art, character portrait, voice over, story writing, game play balancing, etc. The actual cost of character creation is $25,000, but to improve the chances of adding her, we will self-fund the remaining $5,000 for Kotaro.
TOUGEKI announcer Koori Masoi will join as the Yatagarsu Attack on Cataclysm's official MC. He will announce the player’s names and affiliations at the start of a match, and MC and comment on match highlights after the match has finished. This will add a new level of excitement that is totally unique to Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm.
Nyu Media will fully localize the game menus, text, dialogue and graphics into English.
One of Yatagarasu’s standout features is the edgy commentary system and provides dynamic commentary in real time based on developments in the match. English commentary by famous overseas tournament commentators and players (to be announced!) will be added!
The commentary will be completely revised and powered up, including newly recorded commentary by renowned Japanese fighting game player Kokujin.
New trailers will be newly created in both English and Japanese.
In addition, the below improvements and additions will be made that will be self-funded by the development team.
New graphics by Yatagarasu dev team member Kotani:Tomoyuki.
Together with adding the new characters, we will review and completely rebalance game play, add powerful new moves, and make the game even more accessible and fun to play.
Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm will have new story developments along with the new characters.
We will add error resolution and high speed networking, and make online match support even more smooth. A new team play function will be added, so you can fight team versus team matches. A new “My Icon” function will be added that allows icons made by players to be used in the game.
See above for details about Yatagarasu Attack on Cataclysm's arcade debut!
In collaboration with Taito Station, MC Koori will appear and MC at actual Taito Station arcades. What’s more, other arcade centers are being added to the participation list! (Japan only)
