Hey everyone! A quick update on the project! Reviews and reactions have been streaming in, and almost all have been overwhelmingly positive. Thanks for all the support!

1) All the pre-orders have been shipped out, and I would estimate that 80-90% have been delivered.

2) The accompanying app is being worked on, with a target most likely for an October release.

If anyone still wants to order a copy (physical and/or digital), you can head over to UltimateNES.com!
