The really WTF thing about this news is that Unholy Night is for Super Nintendo, and will be available in february 2017 on a 32MB cartridge.
Holy shit, how did I not know about this until now?
Wait, 32MB or 32Mb? If it's the latter, that's around the size of the some of the biggest SNES game. 32MB on the other hand is beyond the largest SNES games ever made. It's on par with the average Neo Geo game.
Feels odd the kickstarter is up after all the development work is done. I'm not a kickstarter expert (far from it) but it seems a little odd. That said, the KS price is cheaper than the Amazon.jp price. I'll keep and eye on it; love the fact retro hardware is getting new software. Thanks for the heads up!
Edit, nvm makes more sense after reading through it.
its 32 mbit. or 32MEGS as they say.
The kickstarter rewards are for a cartridge and box, whereas the Japanese release is CIB. This plus the original cartridge format means I'll stick with my play-asia preorder. This might hurt their kickstarter if too many people do the same: they should have done this the other way around, or included the Japanese package in the kickstarter.

edit:I didn't read the thread, I didn't see this was already posted but to add:
They have clarified that this release is also for CIB so depending on shipping could be cheaper.
What is the point of this KS if I already ordered a couple of copies from Amazon JP? Is it just for US style SNES carts?
Ok, I'm in...but I have no console. What's the best option?
Ends in a few hours. Safe to say it's missing the goal?Kickstarter for NTSC Unholy Nights cartridge. Min manufacturing run qty is 1500 carts so they have set up a kickstarter for preorders.

Yep, so I pledged for a cart and controller (which is cheaper to ship than the cart on its own, which is odd). Just in case a miracle occurs.Ends in a few hours. Safe to say it's missing the goal?

What are my other options for playing this on a real Super Famicom? They're still selling this in Japan, right? So, Play-Asia or one of those similar places?

Well, a GBA is just a portable SNES, sooooo... 😛It looks like a GBA game, could've fooled me.
YouTube video now up. Off screen play from Retro.HK 2016.

play asia just shipped my copy, so I guess this is happening.
I like that it only has 6 characters.
The framerate actual reminds me of a lot of bad SNES fighters.
Some probably for the...interesting box art. Let's be real.After seeing gameplay, this looks pretty terrible. People must just be buying it for the novelty.

Considering the team's dev history I'm curious why they didn't make a Neo Geo release, lol. Folks like NGDEV Team proves it can be viable, right?
This could use one or two enhancement chips.This looks awful...

@Ban Puncher : Does it run better than in the videos ?
The thing is, this game is a niche within a niche within a really old hardware
At least in the Neo Geo his dedicated fanbase will probably sold out this game there, specially if it was made by ex-snk
I guess that it was cheaper to made on SFC
I'm a Genesis fangirl ride or die, and think the SNES is hugely overrated.
