Ex-Castlevania producer’s Kickstarter succeeds in under 4 hours

Bloodstained

We knew it was coming. It was always just a matter of when. Ex-Castlevania producer Koji Igarashi launched a Kickstarter for his spiritual successor, Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night, yesterday to the tune of $500,000, and wouldn’t you know it? It’s already a success!

Fans flocked to the popular game producer, and Bloodstained picked up the $500,000 it needed to succeed in under four hours! As of writing, it sits at a comfortable $1.3 million with 31 days remaining, and it only has stretch goals to go. The current highest has been met, but more are sure to be added.

As for the game itself, it very much looks to be in the vein of Igarashi’s work at Konami. It looks like a Castlevania game down to its gothic art, character design, and use of sprites. Remember how Mighty No. 9 was created to represent Mega Man? Well, this dances even closer to its obvious source of inspiration.

Mighty No. 9’s Inti Creates will also be leading with development.

Igarashi’s Kickstarter pitch is also as tacky as they come, something a man of his reputation could only pull off. We might never see another Castlevania game again, but I am now ready to lay the excellent franchise to rest knowing that its producer can keep its legacy alive through indie channels.

These big Kickstarters are often mirrored by another campaign during their runs, and Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night shares the stage with former Rare developers as they raise money for Yooka-Laylee. It too was as success within the first few hours and is on its way to becoming one of the biggest successes in the website’s history. It’s wonderful when legendary game designers can rejuvenate their visions with the aid of fans, don’t you think?

Speaking of which, trust me when I say the first chance Hideo Kojima gets at following in the footsteps of his former Konami co-worker Igarashi, he’s going to take it. He’ll be on Kickstater within a year if he is indeed out of work.

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night will be released for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.

Mad Max meets Mario Kart is just bloody brilliant

How is this for a clever mash-up?  sundbergkr ‘s Mario Kart: Fury Road parody trailer mashes up the worlds of Mad Max and Mario Kart to epic results in this wonderful parody of the film’s trailer. What’s really special about this mash-up is that it isn’t entirely overdone. The Mario references are brief, subtle, and appear just long enough for you to appreciate them before waiting eagerly for the next one. Without a doubt the giant Chomp is the most laugh out loud moment, but the creators also slip in some perfectly timed and inappropriate voice clips during the violent action. I still haven’t seen Mad Max: Fury Road , due it not coming out in Japan until June 20, but I had purposely avoided the trailers to not get any spoilers. Now, thanks to Mario, June 20 can’t come fast enough! Source : Via : Destructoid from TechnoBuffalo http://ift.tt/1AvRv58

The Sega Saturn hit shelves 20 years ago today

20 years ago today, one of the weirdest consoles we’ve seen hit the market: The Sega Saturn. Looking at the image above, if you haven’t seen the Saturn before, it might not look that weird at a glance – disc tray, six buttons on the controller, black plastic. Nothing too bizarre there. It’s how Sega got to the Saturn that’s strange. Sega was riding high on the wild success of the Sega Genesis at the time. Sega of America had taken the Mega Drive, renamed Genesis in the United States, from a tiny also-ran to an equal player against the Super Nintendo. Sega was, of course, looking for the next big thing. Sega of America’s president Tom Kalinske courted Sony Interactive Entertainment’s Olaf Olafsson first, almost reaching a deal to cooperate on a new console. That fell through, just as Sony’s negotiations with Nintendo had before that. When Kalinkse brought the idea to the board at Sega of Japan, they weren’t interested in working with the guys who make Walkman stereos (kids, ask your...

competencia de la nota 4, iPhone 6 Plus, Nexus 6, DROID Turbo, Moto

Parece que la última cosa que la gente quiere hacer es quedarse con un teléfono más de 90 días. Hemos golpeado un ciclo donde los dispositivos se liberan, sólo para ser seguida poco después por algo mejor. Usted compra un teléfono, y no mucho después es probable que haya una mejor más nuevo dispositivo, en el bolsillo. Es sólo la tecnología funciona así. Por lo que dice mucho cuando un teléfono en particular soportó un aluvión de colombófilo competencia, más potente. Echamos un vistazo a la OnePlus Uno seis meses después. Ya sabes que los OnePlus Uno era el teléfono de TechnoBuffalo de 2014, y eso es en un mercado a la competencia de la nota 4, iPhone 6 Plus, Nexus 6, DROID Turbo, Moto X y muchos más. Pero queríamos reflexionar más profundamente sobre lo que nuestra experiencia ha sido como todos estos meses posteriores. Muchas veces usted tiene este período de luna de miel con un dispositivo en el que las cosas son grandes y todo funciona perfectamente. Pero...
