Mighty No. 9

I wanted to back Armikrog, but found out too late.



Does emotional support count



This is the Game of Thrones

Where you either win

or you DIE

Yes.

Hat in Time, Soul Saga, Shantae and Mighty Number 9.

It is odd for as none of these games have come out, and been mildly frustrated at times when changes are made from what was initially offered. I think it honestly put me off Kickstarter to essentially pre-order a game 2-3 years in advance as excited as I was at the time I nearly forget about them now.

Who are the dummies that backed a guy for wanting to make a potato salad and ended up with more than $2000??? >.> lol



I backed the Ouya kick starter!

This is the only one I backed and I have no plan on backing any other kickstarter project.

As far as experience goes:

Well, the price for the hardware they offered at the time was good (Tegra 3, 1GB of RAM very small console + controller)... the machine offered a unique mix of content, games or other type of apps never seen on any other console before, the ability to sideload Android apps was agreat too and it allowed me to run many emulators really well...

Disapointment: the console was always online (as if you get disconnected one second while using content you bought you are booted out of it), there were a few delays at first, but given the nature of the project I think this was to be expected...

The biggest thing was really how they responded to some of the criticism regarding the openness of their platform, in the end there was no way I would buy anything on a platform that requires me to be online to use some offline features.



I gave like two euros for The Mighty No. 9!



I backed some PC wrestling game. That's about it.
Would have backed the potato salad guy if I had known.



Only once, their are plenty of games I would have backed had I had my own debit/credit card at the time but oh well, I will support them by buying it at release I guess.
