The end of this owns. The bosses look so good.
I was going to say 2000 but wanted to be on the safe side.Awwww so close!
Luckily I have a 3DS
And unrelated but holy fuck your join date is mine to the day, just a year later.
I hope you don't mind if I ask, but did you ask HumbleBundle for that?
I have the steam key because I didn't have a 3DS at the time, I would have rather bought it for that had I known I'd get one =( As it turns out I can't even play the Steam version for my mac lol.
He probably asked YCG considering he said the response was personal. Your success rate will be a little iffy this late.
Ah, figured as such. I'll just wait. I think paying for the 3DS copy was a higher tier in the Kickstarter than just the Steam copy of the game anyway.

I love that Valve supports 60 FPS video in the Steam store.

Here is my first level preview/highlights video. It's full of commentary so if it's not for you, you've been warned. Doesn't show the whole first level that way not everything is spoiled.

It's one of those times where I wish I could connect to wifi at work (if we have any) so I can download and play this at lunch.

I don't want to port beg, but does anyone know if YCG have plans to release this on other consoles? I love the look of it, but don't currently have a Nintendo system (will probably get a Wii U in time), and would love to play this on the Vita.

I know at one point they made a statement about wanting to get it on all consoles.
the devs straight up laughed at the possibility of a vita port
???
I could've sworn they said they wanted to bring it to Vita. Maybe you're taking the laugh out of context, lol.
it was towards the tail end of their kickstarter, maybe (hopefully) they changed their mind

I've been playing a review copy of it and impressions are not embargoed, so here are some thoughts about the game:
The level design is pretty good, the gameplay is extremely fun and the soundtrack is absolutely great. The Dark Souls influences are pretty clear and sometimes I feel like I'm playing a 2D Souls game.
The only problem I've found so far (I'm 3 hours into the game) is that the second screen on the 3DS is pratically useless.

I've been playing a review copy, and the game's fantastic. It also has the most brilliantly designed tutorial level I've ever seen in a game.
I made this video analyzing it, which I fully admit is "inspired by" (ripped off, with poorer narration and no animation) Egoraptor's Mega Man X Sequelitis video:

Choosing relics (2ndary weapons) instantly is awesome, no? I think the Wii U has the same feature, but in PC you have to bring up a menu for that. Nothing groundbreaking but I found it really useful.

So it's $14.99 - Should I expect that to be £14.99 or will it be a straight conversion from $ to £?
If it's £15 it will be the most expensive digital purchase I've made other than when I've used free coupons to buy stuff (what a waste of £40 Dragon's Crown was!) - but it looks fantastic, so I'm willing to take a chance.

Somewhat to be expected considering they made the game to be essentially functional without it.
It's a grind.
how so? ridiculous boss hp?

i just want this game to be out today
the devs straight up laughed at the possibility of a vita port
I spoke with YCG for you, THT and jon. Vita is still on the table as a potential release platform they're interested in.
I've recently learned I'm terrible at Mega Man games (and run'n'gun games in general). I guess I never had much exposure to them as a kid. I was under the impression is this more platforming and less run'n'gun. Is that correct?

Why would they 'laugh' at the prospect of a Vita port?
I did inquire about that as well. They said it happened during the 24 hour stream, when many of the YCG team members were awake and on camera for the entire duration, answering that same platform question multiple throughout the night. They take full responsibility for making the playful jab at the platform without a subsequent clarifying remark, but that is the context it happened in and how it was intended. (I know I for one am operating on minimal sleep today and can barely string together sentences, let alone answer questions well on camera.)

So... Is this game seeming like a good value? It looks excellent obviously, but is there any word on how many levels/worlds or game length? I'm getting it either way but am just curious.
