I remember when this came out. Video games were struggling to be taken seriously as an art form, and then this showed up. Nobody, and I mean nobody, wanted to touch it.

Those are 1bpp graphics. If I had photographs, I could recreate those in png format. I would probably be willing to too. I did the graphics restoration for BS F-Zero Deluxe, and could do something this simple in my sleep.

@Deuteros A lot of the people who participated in the community challenge got their start with the F-Zero Climax track edtior. My favorite game in the series is GP Legend.

So glad to see this finally getting off the ground. I wonder how VGHF got the legal rights for this. I know they wouldn't launch without answering that question.

I think the answer is even simpler: it cost way too much to develop a Vita game. You were essentially using a console-level budget to make handheld-level profit.

Makes me wonder if they just chose the wrong currency, because 350,000 Yen (about $2200) is still high, but a lot more reasonable.

@retrogamer1 @Twilite9 I tried this years ago. They never responded.

@poyo_pie there have been a lot of good video game Kickstarters. Shovel Knight, Hollow Knight, The Messenger, and Sea of Stars are standouts.

Maybe now the Kickstarter will allow me to change my pledge from 3DS to PC so I can finally get the copy of the game that I payed for? I mean, at this point, I purchased the game on clearance and already played it, but it's the principle.

This would have caused whichever system it released on to become a hit. 32X, Saturn, it wouldn't matter. A game like this could have saved Sega.
