Backed yesterday. It looks great.

I'm backed. This looks pretty rad.

I combined both trailers for fun.  

I love the cover arts, especially Nebs 'n Debs. I ordered boxed copies for both.

If you are in doubt, I tested Micro Mages and yes, it is really impressive! The concept is awesome, the gameplay is well rounded and the content is incredible for a 40KB game

I backed both with CIB as well! So excited!

Thank you so much your feedback and support!!

Only one week left until the campaign ends. Last chance to get your pledge in and spread the word <3

I got in on the second batch too! love those side scrollers.
They posted a programing video pretty amazing, with how much they can pack into a little memory
Definitely worth watching.

You guys are breaking the scoreboard! Gotta buy more zeros.

Congrats and best of luck in the final days.

Too bad there aren't stretch goals...

Goddamn, sitting at $190k (CAD) right now. VERY impressive, and probably daunting as all hell for the folks running this. Good luck!

That was my first thought as well upon seeing their success. However, after thinking it through, it makes way more sense that they don't have stretch goals. The game is done, so there isn't really much they could do (that's particularly meaningful anyway), so with this success they can use the additional funds to get started on another game after this one wraps up -- Which I think Miau also mentioned anyways.

Personally, I'd rather see them work on a new game than add a bunch of unnecessary things to an already complete package.

 

CAD, now I see. I went to check the page and couldn't make sense of things.

Haha yeah, sorry. I'll call them Dollaridoos from here on.  
 

Just backed this the other night. 😃

Less than an hour remaining! CZroe and I backed it.

Take note people releasing batches of 20 games via PM on forums   If you get the name of your cool game out there, people will buy it! 4100 freakin' backers, 1400 of them digital!

Worth nothing this is a BIT of a special case in that it is a joint effort of two developers that people had deeply wanted to finish their earlier demo projects (Super Bat Puncher and Banana Nana)


That said, yes, Kickstarter is a great platform for NES developers to use as their pre-order hub, as well as a great place to secure guaranteed prepayment on digital ROM releases (i.e. one has to assume it is "safer" for a developer to guarantee a bunch of digital customers ahead of time, rather than doing it on your own, in terms of how big of a commercial hit piracy will represent -- i.e. if I've already sold 1000 copies, I care a lot less about pirates than if they start distributing the ROM after I've only sold 50 or 100)



Also, the cool thing about these kickstarters, lately, is that the physical reward levels ALSO generally include the ROM, so you can drop it in a portable emulator or put it in your MAME cabinet, or whatever without the hassle of needing to rip it yourself.

Definitely a "value added" over the way these things have been sold in the past. 

Where to get it if you missed the Kickstarter

Congrats, Morphcats!


For those releasing in limited batches, a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign might seem a little daunting. From a hobbyist standpoint, I dont know that I would have time enough to fulfill much beyond 100 physical copies and even that would be pushing it. Micro Mages' success certainly deserves applause but Morphcat studios will have their work cut out for them in the coming months. (Not that €150K wouldn't help to free up a little time.   )

Regarding ROM sales, it is a huge value add for devs and gamers alike. The dev just has to digitally distribute and wouldn't have to put in much work beyond the actual development phase. As for me, I do about half my NES gaming on the go so I much prefer to have easy access to the ROM. My physical only homebrew releases don't get near the attention that my digital copies do.

Sure, the ROM could get pirated, but any NES release runs that risk regardless. Might as well get paid upfront before the inevitable occurs.

Congrats!

I hope you have a lot of friends who love to assemble carts.   Not a bad problem to have though.

This is where I'm at as well. I didn't see an option on the KS for multiple units? I would love to get this for myself and to help out friends who run a monthly game night. I have an ED so the digital version could suffice, but not everyone emulates that I know or has access to these flash carts.

Would love to get access this, how can we do it since the Kickstarter has closed?

This game looks awesome. I'd love to see Bat Puncher finished at some point too. Excellent work

Very soon they will be setting up pre-orders. I'll post it here once it is up.

  They have voiced the opinion that SBP won't be continued.  If they were going to do it again, they would start over from scratch. That being said, they feel like their energies would be better spent on something completely new since there isn't much more they can expand on with SBP.
