For those that don't know, Cheetahmen 2 was recently funded on Kickstarter by Grieg Pabich. It was a huge ugly controversy all over youtube and the internet. Basically it was the patched Cheetahmen 2 ROM file put onto a physical NES cartridge and bundled with a remake of the box, instructions and action 52 comic book. The thing should be coming out on December 12th.

I was wondering if anyone on the forums here actually donated for a remade copy of the game? If you did, what do you think of it? I wasn't really enthused enough to back it myself, simply not that huge a NES fan in comparison to the Famicom. Also, I'm aware today is December 10th in the good old USA. I just wanted to post the topic before I forgot to 😉

When I first heard about it, I had to ask...why?! Who on Earth wants to play this?!

And why in the heck did cost so much to make a game that was already mostly made?

I agree with burningdoom and innivax5, I don't see the appeal. Most casual collectors aren't interests in games like cheetamen 2 because they're notoriously awful and obscenely expensive, and most hardcore collectors won't be interested because a) they want the real thing or b) they would rather get a reproduction cartridge rather than a reproduction cartridge with a hacked rom to have an actual authentic experience of the game. The only people I can imagine getting it are people who have money just burning a hole in their pocket or people who are super hard core collectors who want it just for the sake of having it pretty much. It's pretty neat but I wouldn't get it.
