Good luck reaching any of those stretch goals.

'Slap in the face' for needing to retro fit an entire games worth of assets to a lower spec. A slap in the face..... a slap... in the face.

Oh man I need this now.
Is it confirmed for PS4? (Or ...dare I ask Vita?)

Personally the cost estimate isn't even a big deal to me, it's where the goal is in the priority list. I wish I could put money specifically towards funding the version that is relevant to me. I'm not going to spend money on a version that would probably sit in my backlog due to the lack of portability.

My biggest concern is that it's only six levels. I know that's comparable to the Parappa series, and Gitaroo-Man wasn't much more, but I feel that with the direction games have gone, especially within the genre, they won't get many people willing to help fund at the entry level, ~$40, for a game with six levels.
At this point I'll remain hesitant and hopefully they'll be able to put out something that gives me more confidence it'll be worth it before the Kickstarter is over. I'm not completely against Kickstarter but $40 is more than I'd usually chip in for something that leaves me this uncertain.

Just saw the Kickstarter campaign. Why are people bummed this is on KS? The project probably wouldn't exist at all of not for crowdfunding options.
Kind of a bummer Switch version is locked so far behind the highest stretch goal, but I'd be ecstatic if at the very least, the basic game is made without the extra bells and whistles on PS4 and PC.

Because they want it to exist without the crowdfunding. Obviously that's not possible but yeah, it's not exactly like the really big KS projects panned out that well generally. Although I guess Yooka Laylee got a pretty mixed reception at least, so it's not all bad.
Also gonna hazard a guess that they woulda been waaaay better off switching those Xbox One and Nintendo Switch support levels around.
Let's not start this.

Come on Sony help fund this game! Its weird that these 2 creators who I associate with the Playstation brand couldn't get at least a bit of support from them (maybe im missing something). I'm a huge Sony fan but I can't back Sony on letting this game slip through the cracks. I'll be backing this game to support the creators, just wish Sony would meet us halfway at least. I'd love to even see the Rabbit take on a Mascot approach as I love the design of these characters.
Use some of that PS4 War Chest money Sony
I would assume that both NanaOn-Sha and iNiS would rather co-own the IP than to hand it over to Sony. Plus, there's the whole matter of getting Sony to fund it in the first place, when this really doesn't seem like it's in their current wheelhouse.

Porting a game to the Xbox One from PS4 is way easier than PS4 to the Switch.
Also helps that I'd be the platform I'd be getting it on. Hope it meets the Xbone stretch goal!

Somebody up there heard me, I've been asking for something like this for forever now. Definitely backing this!!
Their goals are high, but the fact that they seem more realistic gives me hope for this

Excellent point. We can never know all the juicy details involved in these pitch meetings but it's sure fun to speculate.

Does ks take your money right away?
Only at the end of the campaign if the project gets funded.
Wibblewozzer

Nope. They'll take the money when the Kickstarter deadline ends and if the project hit the initial goal. The FAQ on their site says you may see a charge a little ahead of time as it'll be a hold to account for processing time.

Well I fucking need a poster of THAT.
I was a bit cross to see that the Nintendo Switch version is locked behind a stretch goal 4X larger than the base goal for the game, but I decided to back it anyway.
In the end, it's the game I believe in and it's the game I want to play, no matter which platform it's on. I have a PC, and I have a PS4, so I figured I'd show my support. Who knows, maybe we'll be surprised and it'll end up on the Switch after all?
All I know is that my $35-ish contribution grants me a copy of this game when it comes out, and that's all I need to know. I hope it turns out so well, and I wish the developers and everyone involved incredible creative inspiration and expression! Let's see another innovative rhythm series!

Depending on how the Kickstarter campaign goes, I might back this project nearer to the end. The goal for a Switch version is quite a bit of a stretch, but hopefully there is enough demand later on even if it does not meet the stretch goal. Will keep an eye on the campaign to assess the overall demand.

Looks like a cross between PaRappa and Spirited Away.
Please let there be a rap song by Kenji Niinuma.
Surprised at XBone as a stretch goal considering the minuscule ownership in Japan. Maybe they're targeting this at a western audience, was PaRappa popular in Japan?

There are plenty of high profile Kickstarters who's final products have been satisfactory. It's just that most of them exist on the PC.

Have there been a lot of PC games that went into that 1 million dollars + weight class like MN9, Yooka Laylee and this (wants to be) then? I don't particularly remember them, but if so I guess I was wrong then.
