Something questionable with a heavy up-front cost like this makes for one of those corner cases where the Kickstarter approach makes sense for an established company.

On the other hand, the market for a Street Fighter tabletop game based in fighting game mechanics is so small and miniatures games are expensive enough to produce that this probably couldn't get produced without something like Kickstarter as a conduit. Street Fighter: The Miniatures Game is a pre-painted miniatures game that uses the Universal Tactics System This system allows 2 to 6 players to simulate. That’s the plan at least for an ambitious new Kickstarter project for an official Street Fighter board game, a campaign that launched with a goal of raising 400 000 and exceeded that goal in a little over a day. While this status is active, characters also gain access to an enhanced Desperation Move that deals significantly more damage, but also drains the Enhance bar completely. Combine the two, and you may have found the solution to geek social loves the world over. Since their are looking forward to launch a MK version of the game to kickstarter, heres a caveat from the Jasco and AngyJoe 'Street Fighter the Board Game' kickstarter campaign: random extract they are finally ready to ship to EU, but the combination of shipping costs and VAT asked to the backers are reported to be from 60 to 120 of the. That kind coupled with the blurb on costs further down lays out that they expect this to be a niche product and can only support whatever limited run they get from this campaign.Īssuming that Capcom is substantially involved in the financing side, I agree it's a bit iffy that they'd use Kickstarter rather than incur substantial financial risk themselves. The latter is an install-type move that drains the bar over time and gives access to character-specific buffs, not dissimilar to a V-Trigger from Street Fighter V. If this was a video game I'd agree, but it sounds like they're using Kickstarter as a stand-in for preorders / gauging interest on a smaller venture - note the first sentence in the description ("This campaign's content is a Kickstarter exclusive and these sets will not be available at retail."). Street Fighter II documentary Here Comes A New Challenger raised over £27,000 when it was crowdfunded on Kickstarter recently, but the team behind the project have now announced that another. I suspect Capcom has made / will make their money off of the licensing fees rather than from sales revenue in this case, but you raise a more interesting point.
