I'm still waiting for the package to arrive :/ [QUOTE=A Beaver;52512477]The boxes were only meant to be display pieces, but they don't even look nice. There was supposed to be a choice between a NES themed one and a Famicom themed one. I was supposed to get both, plus the art book, but I didn't check my old email until now and missed the deadline to confirm to Fangamer my address, so I guess I'm fucked.[/QUOTE] You should email Fangamer and see if you can still get it shipped to you.

At least the email doesn't say it [i]must[/i] be sent before 17th and I mean it was sent only two days before the deadline (at least to me, on 15th)? idk, I filled the survey today myself, let's see what'll happen.

I don't know if I care enough to bother some poor guy at Fangamer just so I can get my Mighty No. 9 themed pieces of cardboard.
I think something to take away from Mighty No. 9, Yooka Laylee and so forth is to A.) see how much they're advertising the game on a return to what people love with renowned iconic developers at the helm, and B.) carefully look at and analyze the intent of a kickstarter game project. Is it supposed to be a Mega Man-like? Is it trying to bring back Banjo Kazooie ala Yooka Laylee? Look deeper into it and find out via stretch goals, lingering information and otherwise if they're actually trying to be more than their inspirations, to figure out what direction the game may try to go into. Even if the developers have an earnest intent to bring a product to you, both MN9 and YL showed that getting baited in can lead to disappointment if you don't pay attention. And Yooka Laylee in particular had demo footage and all that isn't far off from the final product, it's just no one knew how goddamn boring the worlds and extra challenges would be.
To be fair, Yooka Laylee turned out to be mediocre, but it gets way more shit than it deserves. They also released an update about a week or so after release that fixed a lot of things people were complaining about.

At least I'm hoping this mean that we'll see less MN9s being funded on crowdfunding sites
