Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night - The New Igavania

[Hypershell]

I know in theory there's no real reason a sidescroller should take much in the way of performance, but the fact that they made such a big deal about a WiiU version being more difficult than PS4/XB1, and "most beautiful game" was part of their justification, that leaves me wondering.

See? Hype is just proving my point for me.

I certainly am a Nintendo fanboy, but if I'm the biggest Nintendo fanboy you know, then you are browsing one hell of a sheltered internet, my friend.

[OBJECTION MAN]

You underestimate yourself.

[ViperAcidZX]

And BAM! Wii U version is a go-go.

Next Goal: Online multiplayer at $3M and Vita port at $3.5M.

[OBJECTION MAN]

Looking at the description though, it does not look online multiplayer. Just some secondary online [parasitic bomb] like OoE's item shop.

Worthless in my opinion.

[VirusChris]

Well anyway I backed this up, $100, so this is exciting. Can't wait to play it. ^_^

[Sakura Leic]

So some special attacks have been revealed such as summoning ghosts to wreck [parasitic bomb] up, sitting in a chair to restore MP, Gunvolt's Voltic Chain, and the ability to throw wine glasses at people.

Gunvolt's Voltic Chain

Niiiiiiice.

[Sakura Leic]

Yeah I think it's awesome too.

[OBJECTION MAN]

It wouldn't be an IGA game if you couldn't sit in chairs. Now you can sit ANYWHERE. Portable chair.

So we got the online thingy, the next goal revealed was Orchestrated Tracks for 3,750,000.

[Sakura Leic]

About less than $80,000 away from the PS Vita goal being reached and Mega64 made this hilarious and badass video for their IGAvania support.

He's got the Belmont Walk down for sure.

[Sakura Leic]

That is indeed a mighty fine Belmont Strut.

New stretch goal revealed: Bloodstained prequel game for 3DS/Vita at 4,750,000.

[Police Girl]

Also for consoles at the 4.5 mil goal.

A third Playable character at 4.25 mil.

Online challenge mode at 4 mil.

Last stretch goal is at 5 mil.

[Sakura Leic]

Well we got Orchestrated Tracks now and less than $200,000 away from getting the next goal.

[Fxeni]

[Sakura Leic]

........The hell is that thing?

[Fxeni]

He won't look like that—not even a little like that—but we had Kari Fry create this remarkable artist's depiction for a reason. That backer-exclusive boss? It will be IGA.

He was reluctant to include himself in the game like this—even as an eldritch easter egg—but he relented when he saw fans talking about the possibility. Look, take my word for it: You've never been beaten into the ground and eviscerated by a nicer guy.

[Sakura Leic]

Okay so an Eldritched IGA Backer Exclusive Bonus Boss.......I really shudder to think what the final design is going to be like.

[OBJECTION MAN]

I like how it has the Lords of Shadow vampire killer.

[Sakura Leic]

The Online Challenge Mode has been funded.

EDIT: And I  just woke up to the 3rd Player Stretch Goal being unlocked and the last goal being revealed.  It's a Rouge like Dungeon Mode.

[Police Girl]

Prequel game on Consoles is funded.

[Sakura Leic]

Whelp the Rouge Like dungeon mode has been achieved and a new Stretch Goal for Boss Revenge Mode has been added for $5,500,000.  It's so deep that it's located below an open trap door of the basement.

Also there's a Pure Miriam Costume if 60 achievement have been achieved and currently the backers have gotten 59.  It turns out Miriam was a blond before she got the Magi Crystal Curse.  Kind of weird since her hair was black before Gebel's hair turned white......

[VirusChris]

Shovel Knight will appear in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night!


Though it's called "Shovel Armor" so it's more of a cameo appearance and you equip it to become Shovel Knight in the game.


And there's one more stretch goal now at 5.5 million and we get to play as bosses in their own mode. I am so hyped! What about you guys?
