The problem isn't bad timing, it's that they targeted the wrong audience. Mega Man Legends, Mega Man 64, MM Legends 2, and Misadventures of Tronn Bonne were all CONSOLE releases for CONSOLE gamers. But whoever started this Kickstarter had the bright idea to put it out on PC. Which a lot of CONSOLE gamers don't even bother with PC gaming other than basic games.
I can understand a physical release maybe being a bit too pricey. But why not release it via Xbox Live Arcade, PlayStation Network, and Wii U Shop?
