I may (and hope) i'm wrong, but this already seems like a mess. that being said, I hope for the best and hope that this games is made, published and rocks. If so it would be a huge selling point for me to by a wii-u as eternal darkness was one of my favorite games, and one of the most innovative games of it's time. |
It is definitely a bit of a mess, but hopefully Monday clears some things up. I've said it a few times here, but since Nintendo owns the copyrights and this has a planned Wii U release, it is likely they knew about it before the announcement. Before you can say you are going to bring something to the Wii U, you have to get certified by Nintendo. That process has become much easier, but I still believe you actually have to have something to show and can't just say, "Hey Nintendo, I want to make a game. Please send me a dev kit. Here's a bunch of money." Most other crowd funded things get a Wii U release as a stretch goal that would cover the funding of the dev kit ($3-5k).
There was a screen grab of the main page that surfaced and it showed that about 10k had already been funded which would cover the cost of 2 dev kits if that was even needed. I hope this gets funded as well....Eternal Darkness was such a good game. I usually don't like episodic games, but considering that funding will net you all of the episodes, I'm okay with it. My main issue is paying for the full game in piecemeal...so this would alleviate that problem.
If it doesn't get funded.....I hope Nintendo pulls a Bayonetta 2 and either funds what is left and nabs some exclusive stuff, or buys the game outright.
