Woo! Finally Controllers Passed Q/A and they should be shipped in the next few days.
Everything is chugging a long, carts are on their way barely, and print shop has received the packaging files and they are going over them.
Plushes had a small problem but we should be getting 600 in the next week or so, and the rest should be coming later.
On Monday the OST sound track master is going out for pressing, and POGs are also being reviewed to be produced.
Again, sorry for all delays, but we are progressing so good news =D.
For all of you that moved, we will allow you to change your address for the next 2 weeks. Go to Backerkit and you should be able to edit your old address and put the new one.
Cheers!

Hello Backers!
Thanks for being patient for this update!
We are 90% done with prototyping. We need to do some slight changes to the Plush, and we need to do a final test through both versions of the game (the NTSC and PAL).
We decided to remove Italian language from the PAL version and add French. We could not keep all of them at the same time.
In regards of the digital download, we have almost a master file, it will be based off the PS1 version. We are going to release it as soon as we have the art of the game ready.
Here is a picture of how things are looking.
On the controller, we picked that shape over the traditional N64 controller because Nintendo has recently renewed their trademark for the design of the N64 controller. We don't want to risk getting the controllers returned at the port; there are also rumors that they are looking to renew some N64 patents.
One cool thing about this controller is that we were able to upgrade the joystick, so it will be true optical joystick (higher quality) =D.
Hope you guys are doing good and are having a happy World Cup Month!
We will keep working on this and will have another major update as soon as we hit a milestone!
PSA: We wanted to mention that if you are interested in Retro Gaming in general, We recommend signing up for RETRO Magazine. The magazine is under new management and they are about to ship Issue 13th to subscribers in the next few weeks. The subscription is very affordable. The magazine is only retro gaming now (no indie that looks retro). Here is the link to their patreon campaign and here is the subscription link on their website
Cheers!
