    Dude, I preordered in Dec 2020, we’re in July, and I’ve still yet to hear from these bastards 😒

    Fonze has been bottling up and sniffing his own farts WAY TOO LONG! What an ass! Now he has the nerve to ask people for over $200 for his next “mystery project”. The man is out of his mind! So sorry about the hell you’ve been through trying to obtain your game and stick.

    I must have been lucky since I got mine shipped almost immediately after the 1st 2 emails and the metal shield on my cart never fell off.
    The sad thing is that after all the crap FonZ talked about Kickstarter and modern consoles, he's now doing a Kickstarter to release the game on, welp, modern consoles.
    I do play a lot of beat 'em ups and while the game is decent, it's just average at best in terms of gameplay.

    My condolences dude. I imagine the people who were waiting for Mighty no.9 went through the same BS. Luckily, this game seems to be better than that stinker, but your experience is a real bummer. Hope you finally got your arcade stick

      @@Bofner I'm sorry to hear that. Fonzie is a good artist, but a terrible leader. He really needs to put someone else in charge, especially on the business side of things. He has no expertise in it.

    I realize there is now a kickstarter for this game. I urge you not to buy into it. I STILL have NOT received my arcade stick from WM, and haven't heard a peep out of them since I uploaded this video. They cannot be trusted. They will disrespect you. They don't care about you.

    He's back at it btw. Now he wants you to pay up on his crowdfunding link so he can dump the rom to digital storefronts.

      Depends how you see it. The game itself is actually quite fun, but the baggage that came with it is really quite a mess

    Sucks that you had such a bad experience with this company. I did with the Dreamcast release of Pier Solar, and also vowed to never give this company another dime.
    Is that letter from inside Paprium posted anywhere online? I've only gotten to read little snippets of saltiness, want to read the rest of it.
    Strongly agree with your statement regarding no wrong way to enjoy a game. There are some hardcore elitists that are a very vocal minority, but will always look down on people who emulate, or use flatscreens, etc.

    It’s crazy that I know of someone who just preordered the arcade stick just a few months ago and got it. Also, your issues have me hesitant to finally order a copy of the game for fear it may never come 😨

    • @Bofner
      @Bofner  3 роки тому +3

      Truthfully, if you order it, I have little doubt that it will arrive to you, but probably with a rattling cartridge. I'm not going to tell you not to order it, because it is indeed a really fun game, I just want to make it clear the this company is probably not the kind of company you want to be supporting, especially with how expensive the release is

    I finally got the game last week after my initial preorder in 2018. It cost me more than it should have but not as much as scalpers are asking. The game is amazing but I'll never support WMF ever again. It's a shame because Pier Solar pretty much inspired the entire Megadrive indie scene we have today.

    "couple steps ahead anythnig made before" he's talking relative to other games made for the megadrive. Not comparing to the failed paprium build shown at the party

      You're totally right. Which kind of makes the statement even worse and more elitist.

      I haven't heard a thing since I published this video. I've gotten the stupid emails that have been sent out, but I've comes to terms with the fact that I'll likely never see that arcade stick I preordered almost 8 years ago
