You are not making any sense. They are not riding on the tails of old IP's to boost to gan attention like Mighty Number 9, and Bloodstained. They specifically say that. So how can this be geared towards PS fans/parappa/guitaroo when said games aren't even the inspiration for the current project? They are using this proect to redefine the console rythmn/music game. This isnt about a particular fanbase. Its bigger than that. Its about restoring and cementing a genre.

Of course they are, it's literally the first thing they say on the project page, about what the developers made before that lead to that and how experienced they are with it because of those games.
"An explosive mix of Japanese folklore and traditional artwork, hip hop and humorous battle rap face-offs inspired by the Epic Rap Battles Of History YouTube series, Project Rap Rabbit (working title) is the next major game from the creators of PaRappa The Rapper, Vib-Ribbon, Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan and Gitaroo Man."
And then
"With a combined 54 years of development shared between studios NanaOn-Sha and iNiS J, we’ve had plenty of time to master the art of rhythm-action. And it’s all been building to this: Project Rap Rabbit’s unique rapping gameplay represents the culmination of our experience across the genre’s biggest and best hits, and a true evolution of rhythm-action mechanics."
Of course they are riding into those IPs, they mention them asap and then later how experienced they are because of them, and then how much they were able to perfect the "genre" because of those games.

This is a Kick Starter. Your selling a project you want somebody else to fund. You had better show credentials. That is exactly what is; credentials. Showing you their experience and why you should trust them. I'm not saying that the experience/mechanics/styles from past will not be utilized. Of course it will, but to chalk this project up to "for PS/Gitaroo/Parappa fans" when they have clearly taken steps to NOT be defined as just another spiritual succcessor is ridiculous. Read the KS in full. When explain the project its not" look how much were going to emulate MegaMan/Castlevania but not be" (like all spiritual successor/fan geared project) They sell it without riding on past IP"s all the way through. This is for fans of Rythmn/music games not geared toward any platform/ established base
