Like a lot of people thought, Sony was using Kickstarter to gauge interest for the game and are now, that it has been proven to exist, helping making the game a reality.

I still have a lot of questions. The kickstarter was just to gauge interest? And they made a deal to help out AFTER the goal was reached?

I'm kind of excited for the game but i don't think it's gonna be released until 2018 maybe 2017 if we're lucky. Makes it hard to get excited.

currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

If the Kickstarter is successful enough, I hope they also make a remastered version of the first two. Just for those of us who haven't got to experience them.
