@slider1983 Yes, they delivered Paprium (I received mine in 2020 as well - great game). But the fact is they have several projects that are still unfulfilled - so until they send people those games (or a refund), they only deliver some of the time.
@DirtyCasual There's a retail version you can easily buy. The limited editions were for people who preordered and helped fund the project (just a different cover IIRC)
@AJB83 Wow!! I’m surprised they didn’t advertise this more. That Power Drift design is what got them funded in the first place - really strange decision to make it a hidden feature when that seemed to be one of the reasons they were so successful.
@bring_on_branstons Same - I backed the PS4 version. They did refund me after asking a few times - so there’s that. I wouldn’t hold my breath for the later versions - doesn’t seem like a priority for them at all.
I backed this when it was originally shown to have Power Drift style tracks. Somewhere along the lines (after it was funded), it was changed to flat style tracks. Then they announced PS4/Xbox versions were on hold.
Glad the game came out in good shape - but I was pretty disappointed tbh.
This game was selling at Software Etc. in the U.S. for $99 on release. I waited a week or so, and the cashier sold it to me for $50 (not sure if that was an error on his end, or if he was pocketing the sale)

God daaaaamn - this looks good!
Re: WaterMelon Insists Its Terminally Delayed Brawler Paprium Isn't Dead
I received my 2017 preorder, but made the mistake of backing another project of theirs, + the game gear version of Paprium.
Live and learn i guess.
Re: Hands On: Tokyo Xtreme Racer - The Welcome Return Of An Arcade Racing Classic
Has this been announced for consoles, or Steam only?
Re: Konami's Bizarre Arcade Racing Game 'Escape Kids' Is Heading To PS4 & Switch
Weird Konami is the best Konami.
Re: Sega Appears To Be Reviving Ecco The Dolphin After 25 Years
So strange they would request Ecco to be removed on a reprinted history book.
Why even bother?
Re: This New Final Fight 2 Strength Hack Rebalances The SNES Beat 'Em Up
A hack where Guy is playable would be awesome.
Re: After What Feels Like A Lifetime, Amazon Is Cancelling Mighty No. 9 3DS And Vita Pre-Orders
God - this game was AWFUL. Easily the biggest KS disappointment I've ever backed.
Re: The Founder of Nihon Falcom Masayuki Kato Has Passed Away, Aged 78
Ys was such a big moment for me as a SMS kid. Phantasy Star was my gateway into the genre, but Ys showed me how different the genre could be.
Was always fascinated with Falcom since seeing their logo on the back of the SMS case.
Re: An MSX Core Has Just Been Released For The Analogue Pocket
Hmm - bummed this requires a cartridge to work. Wonder if it will get an update that allows it to read ROMs off the SD card like other cores.
Re: We Now Have Our First Images Of M2's New 'Night Striker' Game

Re: SuperSega Explains Why It Produces Such "Crappy" Videos, Says It's Afraid Analogue Will Steal Its Ideas
@slider1983 LOL Did they?
They have $150 of mine for a "Mystery Game" since 2020, and have gotten nothing but complete radio silence from them since.
They still owe people projects they started WAY before that Paprium Kickstarter.
Re: SuperSega Explains Why It Produces Such "Crappy" Videos, Says It's Afraid Analogue Will Steal Its Ideas
This reminds me of Watermelon Games and their bullsh** excuses.

Re: Adidas And Nice Kicks Have Revived The 16-Bit Console War, But With Sneakers
The SNES/Super Fami versions look nice - but those colors are not it lol.
Grey and purple, or grey and RGBY - only thing they got right was the font. 👟

Would love to get a home port of Senjin, but i imagine thats now looking like 2028 at this point.
Re: Impressive Mega Drive / Genesis Shmup 'ZPF' Takes To Crowdfunding Soon
@retrokid104 If it's even close to Thunderforce 3 (my favorite in the series), I'll be more than happy!
My standard for a winner is quite lower - Whip Rush

Game looks awesome BTW!
Re: Multiple Copies Of Delayed Mega Drive Game Paprium Discovered In French Warehouse
I'm still waiting for that AAA Mega Drive mystery game (??? LIMITED(U)) I paid for in 2020.
The lack of any sort of communication is baffling.
But you know, #LOCUSTS or whatever the *****...
