WTF? I'm from Canada and I get it in ****ing euros!!!!

 

[FalKoopa]

You make that sound like something we WANT.

Is there a Hi-score table deep in the Smashboard archives?

Isn't that what companies do all the time?

Not really, but we do keep tabs on high-scores. I think I've seen people with over 10 points.

 

[Kirbyfan391]

yay incomplete rule 34

I wonder if it's possible to get 9000 points

 

[FalKoopa]

They're already at nearly £150,000.

Wow.

Don't post something like that.

 

[Kirbyfan391]

Welp, got my first infraction.
I feel like a man now

 

[Capybara Gaming]

When my friends and I get home from the movies later I'm totally spoiling the Avengers because of that title

 

[FalKoopa]

xD. The kickstater has reached its goal already.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Let's bet how much money it'll make

 

[FalKoopa]

Let's bet how much money it'll make

I'm expecting it to easily cross £500,000 at this rate.

 

[WolfieXVII ❂]

38 minutes, 39.5 seconds, must be a record
And the Kickstarter is still going
The devs must be ecstatic

 

[Substitution]

But my question is will it go higher than the Mighty No. 9 Kickstarter?

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

I'm expecting it to easily cross £500,000 at this rate.

I bet I'll get at least two times higher than the maximum goal

 

[Kenith]

38 minutes? No way, it looks less time than that.
That was crazy. I'm happy for everyone involved.

 

[Substitution]

At this rate they may need to add more perks to keep up with the funds.

 

[Kirbyfan391]

Haha, yeah they are

#YookaLaylee has hit its initial funding goal in less than 40 minutes! https://t.co/J96nC6PEwN

This was done in under an hour. In fact, under forty minutes. Holy ****.

Well, if MS needed to be convinced whether or not they should make a Banjo Kazooie game...well, there ya go MS.

They probably know that can't pull it off, so they're not taking the risk.

What makes you think that?

 

[Space Stranger]

They can't pull off making first-party games not named Halo.

 

[FalKoopa]

What makes you think that?

Nuts & Bolts.

 

[Arcanir]

That's incredible! It's so nice to see so many fans supporting the game in such a short amount of time, it really shows how much people are really looking forward to it.

 

[Kirbyfan391]

Nuts & Bolts.

Meh, Nuts & Bolts was alright for what it set out to do. The only problem was direction. If MS wanted Rare or some other studio to make an actual platforming Banjo game, and they set out to make exactly that(which has been thoroughly hinted at recently anyway) I think it'll likely turn out pretty well. After all, Rare hasn't really made a bad game per se.

 

[Deleted member]

They can't pull off making first-party games not named Halo.

or Gears...or Forza...or Fable...or occasionally bringing back old Rare IP's with mixed results.

On a serious note, Phil Spencer once stated that Microsoft will focus more on first party content at this year's E3 including new IP's. Still, as much as I respect the man, I'm taking his word with a grain of salt.

On a different subject, I've been screwing around with http://how-old.net/ and getting some...interesting results.

I was expecting to do really well... but never something like this. I'm going to donate to it at some point probably sooner than later.

You know there's hype when something like that happens.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

At least, Killer Instinct looks amazing, despite the lack of finishers.

You gotta love that text under the button.
"This project will only be funded if at least £175,00 is pledged by Tue, Jun 16 2015 6:00 CDT"
Oh gee I wonder if they'll make it.

 

[Strofirko]

MS with Rare ips is 1-1 this generation.

New KI game - good.
New Conker "game"- depressing.

Surprisingly the former was made on mattrick era.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Yooka-Laylee got its base goal in 45 minutes AND with 46 days to spare? Damn, son!

And some big name companies thought collect-a-thons were a genre no one wanted in this day and age.

Regardless of it already being funded, I will contribute at least enough to snag a Wii U copy.

I am planning on contributing at least more than I did with Mighty No. 9. Rare made a big part of my childhood and some of my favorite N64 games as well (which is my favorite console) so I pretty much have to give then a significant sum.

 

[Luggy]

If we hit the million for Yooka-Laylee, we riot !

I plan to put a nice contribution too. Though it won't match even close to the most I've spent on a single crowd funding project (I contributed $200 for "Shantae: Half-Genie Hero")
