But honestly, it might be a smart one. There's no way that basically one guy can do a fully 3D racing game in a reasonable amount of time and turn out anything that's going to compare favorably with any recent Mario Kart game. So where would the market be, really? But he obviously can make a pseudo-3D game that compares very favorably to the original Mario Kart. For that there is clearly a very small market, but it's a market he'll have all to himself.

When you say all to his own you mean on the ouya right? Not counting the emulators?

Mario Kart is one of my favorite games of all time, with the iuya having emulators this game will have to be great because while you say he'll have the market to himself a lot of ouya owners bought it for emulation and in that since it will be competing with the game he is copying.

Oh yeah I hear you.

I don't mind 16-bit graphics but I don't think half the games should be 16-bit. The problem with games being 16-bit is they do have to somewhat compete with emulators. Usually graphics are upgraded so even if game play isn't as good it still might be worth it. If you are going to basically copy a game with similar graphics it puts the pressure on it to have better game play. My bet is the game play isn't going to be better than mario kart. I still want it though.

He's drawing from multiple 16-bit kart games, and he clearly has a lot of love for and experience with the genre beyond just Mario Kart, so I think it's not inconceivable that he could surpass the original. It's certainly not guaranteed, but it's possible. It's just like how there are lots of 8-bit style scrolling platformers that are better than the original Super Mario Bros, even though it defined the genre.

I really hope this gets funded this go-round. I backed R.O.M. and Lobodestroyo specifically to unlock the bonus karts in SWK:GP... just for it to come up short.

10/10 - Would have funded if I hadn't found this too late.

Any news on the new kickstarter?
