Hey guys, so there is a new kickstarter for a potential new Dreamcast indie game which is a side scrolling platformer with shmup stages. It looks really great and hopefully they can reach their first stretchgoal to make it a reality.

Quite a reasonable goal and stretch goal for Dreamcast. Looks like a cute little game, and I can totally get behind a new platformer for DC.

The art style seems quite different between the shmup and platforming levels. Where the base game looks like a NES title, the shmup lvls look like a 16 bit game.

Hopefully this one gets supported.

Once it hits the $22,400 stretch mark goal I would back it. Sadly I don't own a TG-16 which I would love too if it weren't for the ridiculous price tag it's going for now.

Wouldn't call it ridiculous, considering the insane game database the console has. Imo it's still worth the money

I was lucky enough to play a TurboGraphx 16(US version) here in Texas back in 1999 or so. By that time it was already pretty old, but I had always wanted to own one since I was little. I am 32 now so I was like 15 by the time I played it. I was going to trade my BMX for it but deal never fell through lol. A really awesome system for sure.

There is an emulator for it on the Dreamcast though, but I think emulation speed was something like 90%.

Anyways, it looks a little like Cotton on the Shmup parts indeed. Plus the villain is a parody of the Megadrive which is awesome.

@Vasiliy, you could always spend like $20 or so on it just for now to get it closer to reaching the first stretch goal.

@scaryred24, If nobody pledges until it hits the stretch goal then what is the point in pledging at all? The point is to get to that first goal so we DO have a native port of the game on the system. ;)
