I think you're dramatically overestimating the love for toe jam and earl
They made 1 good game (the first one) and then 2 pretty bad games after that
It's like trying to reignite the boogerman franchise(which was a failed attempt as well)
Rygar 8 Bit
Jaguar 64-bit

Not exactly what I envisioned for a sequel, but close enough. Makes me realize that Don't Starve could've easily been a Toe Jam & Earl game, which would've been epic.
Those rights are confusing. Explains why tj and earl probably never were featured in those sonic and sega racing games though.

Not sure what to think after Doki Doki whatever, but this is a hard thing not to back.
At least Toejam and Earl had a good game though.

Looks so good. Might have to back it.

I honestly thought TJ&E were Sega properties. Huh.
Hmm... I really think there is a mass more love for tj & earl than boogerman. They were even pretty close to being segas mascots for some time.
Anyway I liked all three games so really hope this works out as I love the characters.
Sega owns the games but not the IP or the characters, that's why TJ&E never shows up in the cameo games and why the re-releases are usually separate from other bundles and such--they need to renegotiate a deal with the owners every time.

Would back if there is either Xbox One or PS4 at launch.

Definitely going to back this, just have to decide which tier.

Backed. At least this time he'll be able to make the game he wants rather than having it veer off course again like 2 and 3.

he did say after the pc version (if it's able to be made) that they would bring it to other platforms

Same.
Don't like the first game, either, but that doesn't mean I don't respect its place in history (or even really its gameplay).
Haha holy shit, that was... special.

This better come to home consoles. I'm holding out for that. I need this in my life but on a console. It just feels right.

Just looked at the reward tiers. Wow, they're going to get destroyed with physical reward fulfillment at low tiers.
3 and a half hours and they're at $29k which while not awful isn't great for a $400k Kickstarter. The high average backer amount is worrisome because it means that mostly diehards are donating right now which means that funding is more likely to drop off drastically. For this to have a great shot of success, they're going to want at least $120k in the first day which seems unlikely (although they might manage it over the first 24 hours). I'm guessing this is going to be a Project Scissors sort of situation where it doesn't look like it's going to make the goal for much of the time before maybe pulling it together at the end.

I had a heart attack at physicals before I heard horror stories from my friends.
Then I heard horror stories from my friends and my mind boggles.

Yeah, $25 gets you a poster & a keychain. Though neither of those are that expensive to make, posters are a real pain to ship since they're so easy to damage.
