Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

[gf78]

Most successful kickstarter campaign ever...for a 2.5D, side scrolling adventure game in the "metroidvania" style. That Konami wouldn't green light. That other publishers wouldn't back. That all the big publishers said nobody wants this kind of game.

Guess what Konami and everyone else that turned your backs on Iga?  F YOU!!!!!!!

Imagine if Kojima, Igarashi and Kamia all founded their own new studio to make these classic games....one can only dream.

It really is impressive how all these publishers really do seem to be wrong when they think people don't want these franchises anymore.  Heck, I've been watching the Super Best Friends play Freedom Planet, which is basically one of the best Sonic/Not-Made-By-Treasure games ever.  Microsoft hasn't wanted to bring back Banjo-Kazooie properly, so now we got A Hat In Time and Yooka-Laylee.  Capcom shutdown Mega Man, because they didn't know what to do with him, Inafune goes and makes the new Mega Man with Mighty No. 9 and Shovel Knight shows you can still do 8 bit and make it fresh and fun.  And Konami failing so hard that they've driven some of their biggest personalities, who will go off to make their own games without Konami shenanigans.  Man, I wonder when that Kojima kickstarter is gonna happen lol
