Quote from: Medic_wheat on 04/05/2017, 10:18 PMJust checked. The kickstarter page and raised $16,814 112% funded. This one was completed on June 2013.

Minus what ever kickstarter kept for its share that's still a lot of money. Probably.

Oddly the kickstarter for the DVD/film raised $40,286 competed on Feb 2015.

So wait. They raised nearly $17,000 to buy the guy his collection and film.

So they got a bunch of people to pay for an almost entire Nintendo NES library

WTF, did I get that right?

That's my interpretation.

Granted in the documentary it was stated that he was to use his own money. I find it hard to believe that the mk why funded from the two kickstarter didn't go directly into the purchase of the games and guest speakers.

I have an urge to watch this stupidity for a few minutes.

But I know I won't.

It's just a bunch of manchilds wearing XXL Zelda shirts stuck in their past, the phycology here is kind of sad to be honest. I'de watch the first 5 mins, sets the tone quite well for the rest of the movie without having to watch another minute of it

I assume there is a thread about this on Nintendoage? What to thos guys over there think about the film?

Also, what % does Kickstarter keep of the 16K?

Looks like they were most concerned by how it wasn't collectardy enough:

I generally stay away from the whole 'collector' side of the forum because, you know, I'm not one, and I'd never been to Nintendo age before, until now of course, and well, let's just say that now I completely understand why you guys rag on them so much >w>

Three or four post in and they are botching about if a game should or should not be included to make the "quest" more official.

I actually want to read more just to laugh at it.
