I saw the cart option and box art and I smiled. You can tell the devs really loved their time with the N64.

Except for a love of Banjo Kazooie leading them to want to give as much as they can. I gave 50 euro purely because of that. Its why I suspect Nintendo gamers will give most of the money.

I don't see many people doing that, the rewards are there to entice people.  Like the $70 has more ppl than the $55 one because the reward gets really good at the $70 mark.

Edit: nvm that makes no sense because the $70 mark includes all the ppl donating for the rewards above $70.

Edit2: Wait nvm looks like it doesn't.

 

I feel like we could have a huge debate over the nature of personal ressonance of art/games from one's childhood and the extent to which one may feel motivated to be a patron for them but that risks advancing out mutual understanding of the human condition far too much.

 

Instead I'd like to back-pedal to my earlier question, what percentage of their funding do you suspect comes from Nintendo gamers?

Okay lets see, I think the $10/20/35/70/90/170/340 (340 option for PC box set not N64 one) are all PC gamers.  That's a minimum of $382030 coming from PC gamers, just from the minmum required to donate for the $10/20/35/70/90/170/340 options they could have donated higher in those ranges.  Which is 46% minimum PC donations.  Bumping it up to 55% for the PC gamers in the other options leaves 45% for console gamers.  I'm gonna say 10-15% are Wii U gamers.

Assuming you're so flatly correct about me being a statistical anomaly for your PC calculations to be correct, a concept I suppose I should be flattered by as a patron of the arts, what percentages do you put on the PS4 and Xbone leaning consumers and why do you feel they'd be as interested in, aware of, and dedicated to a game which is the sequel to one of the greatest Nintendo exclusives of the time period that quite likely many of them either don't date back to or weren't alligned to the relevant console during?

Well there's a few things to consider, not everyone that owned a N64 is still buying Nintendo consoles to this day, PS4 has more than double the install base of the Wii U and X1 has 3m more and the people that donate to kickstarters are pretty much the hardcore gamers.  Many hardcore people do own multiple consoles and the Wii U is not the console to buy multiplatform games on, no doubt its gonna run better on PS4.  That being said you don't need to play a previous entry in a series to be hyped for it, for example I've never played Legend of Dragoon, but if they were making another one I'd be hyped because many people call it the best JRPG every made and coupled with the very low entry point of only $15 for console gamers.  If there was a Legend of Dragoon sequel for $15 you bet I'ma jump on that.

All that being said I'm gonna say 10-15% for both the Wii U and X1 and 15-25% for PS4.

Again.  Go read the comments on the Kickstarter page.  Wii U dominates the platform of choice talk.

I opened the comments, hit ctrl+f for Wii U and only 3 comments popped up, that's not dominating.

You didn't open up all the comments, did you?  There are almost 1,600 comments.  

Open them all up. then try your console search.  Do it for Wii U, PS4 and PC.  Get back to me with which one dominates.

I'm not gonna waste my time opening 1600 comments anyway trying to calculate the platform choice of 23k ppl based off 1.6k comments makes no sense.  My calculations were way more credible.
