What they show as proof of this thing is hollow statements, existing controllers from other consoles, unmodified painted shells from unmodified molds (isnt even a cart hole) and already theyre taking orders? Its a cash grab, either it will never release and they disappear with the cash, or they release and its an atrocious system undershooting the lowest of expectations and never delivering on its promises. |
1. Yeah, of course, in the OP it says just that. It's because it basically IS the same controller, because they are working with the same company that made the Wii Retro Classic controller
2. The technical discription is limited because the hardware isn't fully finalized.
3. ^^
4. They already have people that are interested in making games for it.
5. Go look on their facebook page. They have the actual moulding machinery. It'd be the dumbest cash grab ever to first buy 50 000 dollar moulds, do actual production runs of shells and then run with kickstarter money
6. They already launched their RETRO Videogame Magazine through Kickstarter and that magazine is still around today.
