A licensed Mega Man board game has not only achieved its Kickstarter goal in a day, but has also eclipsed it by over by (at time of writing) $100,000, bringing its total up to an amazing $190,000.
The board game is referred to as a Side-scrolling game for 2 to 8 players and will pit players against each other using Mega Man and his friends to battle Dr. Wily’s robot masters whose main goal is to disrupt and stop the player from progressing.
“Created by fans of Mega Man and the publisher of the Universal Fighting System CCG, the board game is Jasco Games’ love letter to one of the best video game characters of all time. We have launched this Kickstarter for two reasons. First, and most importantly, we’re seeking funding to make this the board game we always wanted to make. Kickstarter funding will allow us to use better materials, offer more extras like miniatures, cards, extra boards, and polish the finalized product, giving fans an even better experience and something that will be worthy of any Mega Man enthusiast’s collection. Second, we wanted fans to have a chance to show their support for Mega Man and be involved in this exciting process.”
If you are a Mega Man fan then you simply cannot ignore this Kickstarter, the amount of care and love that has gone into its design alone is enough to delight fans and you can bet the game will be a blast to play as well, so, make sure you considering donating.
