Cheetahmen II Kickstarter

[Saddamsdevil]

You're exactly the target audience that guy is looking for, someone who is somehow captivated by something that shouldn't be impressive or that amusing.
You're making a story of a failure sound like a success story, just because the game got notoriety for being, well, shitty, and unreleased.

The Duke Nukem Forever Audience eh?

Why the hell are people so worked up about this?
YES a ROM hack exists that fixes it.
YES the game sucks donkey dick out of a bull's anus. (AVGN hyperbole... yay)
but
Making a small run of carts is VERY EXPENSIVE. Prices scale down the more you order of something. The smaller your run the higher the cost per unit.
If you're not interested NOBODY IS FORCING YOU TO DONATE! Its one of the things about Kickstarter. You fund whatever you want and don't fund something else.
This is NOT a scam. It is just some guy trying to spread retro gaming via the most infamous game on the NES.

Edit: Considering how legit these guys are being they've probably got permission from Pacochan to use his hack if they are doing so. Hence they mention him in the video

I think people are just more pissed about the shitty video AVGN just released.
It was bad man, not entertaining at all.

AVGN probably had little to do with the video other than recording his cameos and maybe loaning them his Cheetahmen cart (though I imagine they have their own). He must like the project to post it though

I'd bet $65,000 that they just re-use the existing rom patch

also it's hard to respect this dude after the huge scam from the cheetahmen 'prototype' run he did, you can tell from the cart photos that he used repro boards from retrozone

 

[MelodieOctavia]

Jesus. It's shit like this that make me wish there was a screening process for Kickstarter. If there is, then a stricter one.

This has also left a bad taste in my mouth about James Rolfe. I used to be a fan, but with him being a dick to his fans, neglecting his web show for what's likely to be a shitty movie, and now this, I just don't want anything to do with him anymore.

Please read the complete story before making statement like that.
He was given one prototype of Action 52 that contains another version of Cheetahmen with 2 exclusives levels, so he has extracted Cheetahmen in order to make a standalone game and he has payed Retrozone to make copies of the game and sell them with some merchandising.

and release a limited edition NES cart

Can't ROM hack an NES cart into existence.

People make reproduction NES carts all the time and they don't cost 65,000. You can buy a copy of Earthbound Zero or Final Fantasy 3 in English for around $30

 

[KazoWAR]

How much you want to bet they are just going to flash this on a $5 flash cart and sell them for $60

 

[Gahars]

People, if you hate your money so much (and can't stand the thought of charity), don't waste it on this; you're better off just throwing it into a furnace.

or better yet take up smoking as a hobby.
and maybe even start drinking as well.

I'm pretty sure you are overreacting.

 

[stinkoman]

So basically they're taking a shitty cash-in game the authors tried to shove down people's throats and making a shitty cash-in remake to shove down people's throats?
BRILLIANT.

I'm pretty sure that's an understatement. He uploads videos frequently (Nerd ones are scarce as of late but generally speaking he still does post lots of new videos). He is a filmmaker, so I have no doubt the movie won't be bad, especially considering how much he rips on shitty games when in character

Why is everybody so butthurt over this? It's not like the guy's offering to fuck your mom if the project gets funded.

Yes, because the individual retail price is totally the same thing as the cost of actually renting/buying the equipment to produce a lot of copies, right?

I take it that Cheetahmen are not your kind of Catboys, eh?

"Too old, do not want"?

Plenty of people manage to start up a business making and selling them without begging for money from strangers and then expecting said strangers to also pay for the product that they just funded.

lol, waste of money. I thought about donating, just for the heck of it, but then I found this one: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/aeipathyind/zeldamotion-a-link-to-the-past-animated-series

That, my friends, is money well spend.
