I find really weird that all this information is being collected by people in forums, instead of Fonzie making official statements on his Twitter or whatever.

This thread has officially become tragic. Are you all still going to be talking about this non-existant game in five years time?!
Of course! At least we have something to play with :DQuote:

They're bound to release a few of those copies. Fulfilling roughly a third of the orders
is better than nothing~!
Bless Tanglewood and Xeno Crisis for showing us that being open about your progress and struggles can be a positive thing.
Imagine if Fonzie had done that, hey guys do you want DLC? no.. oh, okay. how about a special bluetooth connector so you can get updates? no.. oh.. okay.
He would have had to resort to releasing Paprika on Steam first, where it would get many testers so that eventually the console version would be (almost) bug free!
But no, secrecy and leather clad men.
Amen !Quote:

On the flipside, it means they may have an incentive to speed up the process to avoid reaching the worst case (and to at least recoup some of the losses).
Random observation, I doubt it'll help anything.
I agree. Considering how much sprite flickering there was in the demonstration video with NO ENEMIES AT ALL, there's no way it's just a cut-down version to avoid spoiling too much. Chuck in 3 bad guys in there and you won't even see half your characters.Quote:

Oh wow, well if someone wants DLC in their game that pretty much covers it. In fact you don't even need the on-cart DSP to handle decompression if you have that, you could load new data into ROM very quickly between levels.Quote:

Sure plenty of games did that on the 68k but I meant more for like a game like Paprium where even 64 Mb is not enough to hold all the content, you could have all of your data on the PC side and send it over using WiFi. Of course you could already do this with the MED and an SD card too, but if you really want DLC this setup would do it.Quote:

PayPal doesn't steal peoples money, conmen steal money, behind smoke, mirrors and lies.Quote:
