AVGN is behind it now, which means they'll probably meet their goal easily.
I'm wondering what the hell James gains from this? He wouldn't get a cut (I wouldn't think) of the profit, there's plenty of games for him to review, and the title is still going to be terrible.
The only reason, and this could be me being apologetic, I can think he would do a video is just so he'd have traffic to his site for that vid due to him reviewing the title. Like him being meta by having his character supporting it or whatever.
I mean, this thing is pointless.

Chakan The Forever Man. Now that's a real Kickstarter.

I dunno, if they fixed the game mechanics, too, to let you duck, have decent jumping controls etc, that MIGHT be worth a Kickstart (but not really). Just making it so you can reach the later levels... not so sure if worth it.
Even if they did, it a six level game that looks terrible. They would have to make a brand new game.
Fuckin' think sucks.

So basically the guy that's doing this kickstarter is selling packages for $499 and $199

One of the higher-priced Kickstarter tiers has cartridges signed by him, I assume he's getting paid for those.
I thought at first they were actually remaking the game, or editing it to be decent, but I guess they're just fixing the level progression and putting it on carts, and making it out to be a huge deal.

Edit: Yea, that ending is going off the Jigsaw/Saw theme from the episode. Ha.

Now this is ridiculous. Though I don't blame the person behind this, kind of worth the try just for curiosity's sake to see if anyone gives any money.

Eh, there is a "fixed" version of the game out there. PacoChan fixed the game so you could beat it. I've beaten the game for the episode of Pop Fiction. AVGN played through it all, too. As have probably a few other brave souls. People can do what they want with their money, but...

This totally undermines all of the legitimate Kickstaters out there. Indie developers and independent bands who are trying to make an honest living. Not this weird meta bullshit that's already made over $4,000. Please save your money for a worthy cause. For something that is quality.

We're out of the first wave of Giant Gamestarters.
The problem is that other people don't seem to realize that.
Oh no you don't. You take that game like a man and play it the way it's meant to be played; unfair and unforgiving.

Yes. The Japanese versions.

Because it's a complete joke, just check the FAQ.
Translation: So yeah we're keeping the money for ourselves .... well at least they tell the truth.

Pretty sure these people paid AVGN, Pat the NES Punk, etc. for their involvement on that video.

It's just celebrity endorsement, you can hate a company but not the actor/actress/sportsman or celebrity that make commercials for that company.

Except being a cryptic boring game.
Omg it's ''beatable''? That's news for me.

This idea is so bad that I actually want to pledge.
Please don't. There are worthier projects on Kickstarter. They're just trying to make more money with a shitty game, it's not even a remake. They don't deserve a cent. And shame on AVGN.

Theres better be a Wii U port!
NOT
I think they actually legitimately got the Cheetahmen license, so it does cost some real money.
