No joke, this is the first Kickstarter I've ever backed.  Not that they needed my $60, clearly.

Looks like it will be awesome, and I would totally do it, but I don't own a PS4 or XBone.  I'm a Wii U guy, and disappointed that it won't be seeing a release on that system, given that they've nearly tripled their goal.  And how do they do a physical copy for STEAM?  Would I get a DVD box with a download code, or would that perhaps actually come with the game installer in it?

I would have preferred a Wii U copy also, but with this kind of stuff I'm just happy to have it as a physical anything so I'll settle for a PS4 version.

Unfortunately, I can't justify a PS4 or XBone right now, especially given my backlog, and the fact that I have a stack of Wii U games I haven't finished, so I hope this game remains perpetually available.

backed too many kickstarters when double fine blew up and pretty much all of them ended up breaking my heart in some way. this one and the one from the rare-guys are both tempting tho.

From gog.com:

http://www.gog.com/news/bloodstained_ritual_of_the_night

With Kickstarter beta access on GOG.com!

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night is becoming one of the biggest, most successful Kickstarter campaigns in history.

Straight from the under the watchful eye of Koji Igarashi, one of the godfathers of the genre, comes the newest exploration-focused, side scrolling platformer with RPG and crafting elements. In short, it's shaping up to be the biggest Metroidvania release in recent memory - already surpassing its original Kickstarter goal by sixfold. As of right now that is.
We're huge fans of IGA and Castlevania, so when we heard that Koji Igarashi was returning to the genre we knew we wanted to work with the team to play our part in getting this amazing spiritual successor out there, completely DRM-free, with our signature kind of customer love.

That's why we're excited to announce that we'll be supporting the upcoming release with DRM-free versions to all Kickstarter backers of the game pledging $28 or more!
Everyone who backs the project at the $60 tier (or higher) will receive not only a DRM-free digital copy of the game, but also exclusive backer-only content and access to the beta, all right here on GOG.com.

You can make your pledge over on Kickstarter, and stay tuned for future backer updates with more details on how to get started with your access to the beta.

Wow. $5,000,000+, I am so glad to have been a part of something so big and so cool. This reminds me of '97, when I knew my GF was getting me a Playstation for Christmas, so I preemptively bought Castlevania: SOTN.

It was a long wait for it then, this will be a lot longer.

Yea broke 5.5 mil
They actually showed all stretch goals as funded before they were. Not sure if they anticipated hitting the final goal or figured "why the hell not" and decided to toss it in anyways.

They were counting Paypal donations as well.

I backed this also.  Will be getting a physical PS4 copy!
