fcgamer | 5,015 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Anyone actually get their copy of Project Blue for the Famicom? I backed the Kickstarter for the game years ago, still received nothing. @FrankenGraphics and others involved in the project, thoughts? This has dragged out for way too long at this point... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 12,269 Administrator · Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Have you contacted them through Kickstarter itself? Frankengraphics hasn't visited VGS in over a year now, so the ping is probably floating in the aether. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankengraphics hasn't visited VGS in over a year now, so the ping is probably floating in the aether. I've contacted various people regarding the project off and on throughout the past several years, I think the last time I got a response from First Press Games themselves was roughly a year ago, but only after threatening to leave a bad review. Until then, all emails went unanswered. From my understanding, due to COVID-19 supplies got messed up and therefore since FPG wanted to source everything from Japan to maintain their made in Japan image, things got delayed. But COVID-19 was how many years ago now? Similarly, the game Project Blue is available for sale on Famicom format on some sites, some people have it, yet Kickstarter backers still don't have theirs (well at least I don't, and in the somewhat near future I'm hoping to move house). The whole situation, it's just crap after spending about $100 or whatever, and I think the only way anything will come from this is to make the situation known publicly. I'm sure the devs received their money years ago, so what does it matter to them if Kickstarter backers like me received our game? That said, suddenly there's a bit more skin in the game if the situation is made public. It's something that honestly needs to be addressed, sooner than later, rather than just sending countless emails into a black hole year after year and getting the same similar replies.

a3quit4s | 4,370 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I got my NES copy years ago, I can’t believe you are still waiting on the Famicom version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been so Iong I can't even remember what all was supposed to come with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 12,269 Administrator · Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Yeah I'm not a fan of the waits with Kickstarter and similar, especially when one impacts the other (I backed something on Indiegogo expecting to get it in March this year, but apparently there was also a Kickstarter and those backers are first in line...). Hopefully someone sees this and responds, but I'd go double on your comms and send the company another message on Kickstarter and/or twitter/whatever to be like "hey I made this thread, any news on famicom version being sent out?". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toggle switch | 29 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 It's incredibly frustrating to say the least, but the special editions have still not finished production. To be clear, the production of these cartridges is handled by First Press Games, not by Frankengraphics nor by me. If you check their release progress page, they claim it should be done soon (yesterday, in fact). https://firstpressgames.com/pages/release-progress That said, I do have some regular editions kicking around, I can send you one if you like. It's the best I can do given the circumstances. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fcgamer | 5,015 Posted August 15 Author Share Posted August 15 (edited) Just received an update a few days back, looks like I could possibly be receiving this by Christmas! Edit: Not that I have much interest in the game anymore, played and completed the ROM years ago and found it to be meh. Definitely had issues.
