If sales of Pier Solar are any indicator, they'll have no problem selling enough to turn a profit; they'll ship hundreds and hundreds of copies, not a few dozen (like Bound High).

Bound High is kind of different though, because Virtual Boy has a VERY small following. Uncle Tusk is only planning to make 2 batches of 50 copies for Bound high anyway.

Also, incase anybody is interested, the rom for Faceball has finally been obtained by Planet Virtual Boy! Hopefully, we'll be able to get Dragon Hopper and Zero Racers someday...

Mighty Final Fight for the NES uses a exp system and I believe Double Dargon does as well so who knows if they can get it to work.

It does sound interesting but it almost seems like you can buy stock in the game itself which is weird.

I don't like preordering anything unless it is 30 days away from being releases so I can make a paypal claim if it doesn't get released.

Doing things like this are way to easy to scam people and I trust issues so no "investing" for me lol. 

Don't worry, if Aetherbyte ever asks for preorder money, it's because we're too poor to front CD costs but have the complete game sitting here ready to get pressed or whatever, lol.


Investing in homebrew is such a mental concept.  It screams "We don't know what to do.  We just want money.   Give us money and make us do something please"

Oh yeah if you are shipping the completed game within 30 days of taking my money I have no problem supporting homebrew for sure.

When I first joined NA in January there was a company that was making a Nightmare Busters CIB release.  They were taking full payment in Jan-/Feb and stated there was no hard release date but the earliest it would be would be 1st Quarter 2013.  I personally do not feel comfortable paying for a $80 game a minimum of a year in advance.  A lot of stuff could go wrong in such a large time frame and I could be out of my money.

Who cares that the game is OMG 40!!!!!  Size does not equal quality.  Seems they are taking the McDonalds approach to game making....   In fact the whole "Magical Game Factory" sounds just like a fast food chain to me as well...
And do they even have time to make another game?  I'm still waiting to play Pier Solar on the Hubble Telescope...

Wasn't Nightmare Busters just an unreleased game by the creator of Rayman that was going to be in cart form?

Yes it is.  I own a copy that I bought for $15 from a locale store.  The people making the new version were making a box and a manual and were also supposedly tweaking the gameplay to make it different.

The brawler looks like crap. Pier Solar was a good idea because it was a unique undertaking. This is just stupid.

[SignOfZeta]

Yeah how will you grind EXP in a brawler?   Stand still and wait for a respawn instead of going when the arrow says GO GO GO >>>> ?

Perhaps more exp (or money) by using special moves/combos/etc. instead of just button mashing punch?  Or maybe it'll be like Ane San and the only RPG element is buying posters and shit for your apartment.

I think they are talking about making a Guardian Heroes clone, which I'm up for...in theory. While it sounds easy, GH (and the proto-GH YuYu game for MD) are the only ones that have done it right. The very GH-esque Odin Sphere is one of the most boring games I've ever played in my life.
