Still avoiding doing right by the Switch backers by doing something extra for them after taking them for granted.
Patching the switch version was something that should have been done before launch. It was an unfinished pre Beta or just beta build of a game. You should not get praise for doing what you should have done. This was no accident.
Give it a rest. They're working on it. Pestering them won't help anybody.

Technically you did beat the game, but anyways.
How old is your console? If it's several years old, did you check to see if the vents on your PS4 are blocked by dust? That would trap hot air inside which would quickly become an issue in more resource intensive scenes.

What version and what update are you playing on? I've never heard of someone being able to enter the final boss room and not trigger the fight on a cleared save.

I don't think a strategy guide in this day and age would be necessary. Now a hardcover lore book like Zelda's Hyrule Historia on the other hand, I'd buy it.

While the game turned out to be great... After the whole experience, i decided to never kickstart again. 1. Cancelled promises (Mac, Linux, Wii-U etc) 2. Asspulls (last minute announcement of DRMed version, looking over at you Curse of the Moon) 3. Backers receive their stuff last Especially No3. With the same money, you could have bought EVERYTHING at once, during day 1 release and be assured that the game is of good quality (not risking). Now, weeks post launch and we still haven't received the codes for that soundtrack. Yep still no game for me. I really wanna play it but I decided to back the game 4 years ago and now I see people finishing the game, I saw lots of switch copies in the shops and everyday in my mailbox nothing, but I've got my slipcase at least... So kickstarter is a no for me they send me a slipcase that came from the us without any problem but the warehouse that is less than 6 hours away from my house can't give me my game, I'm really pissed about how they handled the backers. Your physical copy arriving late, while unfortunate, has less to do with Kickstarter and 505, and more to do with how incompetent the postal service around your area is. Game stores sell games so naturally they would be the first to be stocked up.

None of the cheat code weapons are upgradable. The 8-Bit coin weapons however are.

There are things like the "vocal minority" who complain the loudest and are heard, and "casual gamers" who don't care about low fps or whatever and just simply enjoy the game. But it seems like your mindset is set in stone, so I'll leave you to it.
Btw, Return of Samus was built for the 3ds so that's a terrible example. If you care about gameplay, back a more powerful console. That is all.

adralmelech I don't see an issue here? They've delivered on their main obligation, that being a functional game. The Switch version despite all the over-exaggerated complaints is still playable, and will be updated in the future. Receiving a product late or not is honestly such a little thing, especially when they're constantly updating you on the situation, just be patient. I backed the $175 tier, and I understand that all the bonus stuff will be delivered around August, and I'm fine with that. I got the game, it runs flawlessly, I'm happy. Basically your main complaints from what I can gather are that you feel ripped off, and backer exclusive content isn't exclusive. The former is just from misguided expectations. You're supporting them, not buying something. The latter is like someone who thought he'd get to keep all the candy, but it turns out everyone gets to share in on the candy and you don't like it, but you get to enjoy it anyways. I have the switch version, what do you consider playable? I played on a sit through the ship and all the way up to meeting with zengetsu for the first time. On the ship i had text from the cutscene during the battle with vepar, the last line of text never cleaned from the screen, that breaks immersion, by the time i reached the castle i was not even getting 20 FPS, every new shard would completely freeze the game and would give back control too late to avoid hazards around, by the time i reached zengetsu i had to quit because it was basically slow motion (if it was 15 fps it was too much), that was around 1 hour of game play, the switch was also incredibly hot, my longest play sesion with the switch was like 4 hours with xenoblade chronicles 2 and never got any where near close to that hot. That's not even addressing some of the huge graphic issues. Is also kind of sad that load screens can take like 40 seconds, i don't consider that playable The other thing is why are backers still wondering if they'll ever get their copies? i'll get it, you got yours and you are happy, yet there is a fact, and the fact is that we would have gotten a way better deal if we had purchased this at retail. My friend who I gave my Switch code to encountered laggy gameplay and a crash at one point. You know what he told me? "But it's fun tho. Real addicting". He's already past Gebel when I last texted him. So yes, it's playable. Unplayable would mean you cannot beat the game because something game breaking is halting you from progressing. And again, kickstarter is not about purchasing. It's about supporting. You made it happen, not the people buying retail (although they're contributing most to sales which will help a sequel or another Igavania title happen)

Kickstarter isn't for buying or preordering a game, it's for showing your support to a campaign you like. US legal system and FTC is not agree with you, US legal system labels kickstarter as a preorder system, indiegogo is the one that labels everything as "donations". Not even kickstarter is agree with you. Think again. This is what Kickstarter thinks. Keywords being: "support they need to make their ideas a reality". That is the intention of Kickstarter. You get rewards for contributing, but that isn't the same as buying or preordering. If it was, you could return your product. US legal system and FTC are not Kickstarter.

Yeah I have always felt ripped off when they announced the game would be 40 dollars retail. And all I got for being a backer was a cheap cardboard sleeve that is apparently worth 6 bucks somehow. I can see the CURSE OF THE MOON digital copy being part of that package. So that was 10 dollars in value. Is the IGA backpack DLC supposed to be what 4 bucks. But in no way shape or form was the DEMO something that should be considered value. Also how badly they handled the switch port and how they are completely ignoring sane suggestions like Allowing people to change DLC codes and ore give out STEAM codes that cost them nothing to the switch backers so they can have an enjoyable game. The switch version and its issues alone show how tone deaf they are to the customers and backers. Kickstarter isn't for buying or preordering a game, it's for showing your support to a campaign you like.

The whole point of BS's kickstarter campaign was to acertain the people's interest in another Igavania game because Konami didn't think people cared. The people answered loud and clear; BS being one of the most successful kickstarter campaigns in history.
A second kickstarter campaign for a sequel would not only be kinda pointless, it would just come off as greedy. Like The Final Bosman put it, a kickstarter campaign needs the "screw you" factor to be successful. In this case being a clear "screw you, Konami!"
I'm 100% certain that with Bloodstained's current popularity, Koji Igarashi will easily be able to make another Igavania title without needing crowdfunding. Whether it's a sequel or not, it will undoubtedly be a great experience.
