  Watching a game get multiple chances at a modern/definitive port and fumble EVERY single one of them while so many other games rot away to time is horrible man.

  Fun fact from when we were recording the B-roll; the reason we were even able to play is that, I used to tool around with old doujin fighters all the time, and after our usual x-input sticks didn’t work, I looked around to see if we had some ps3/360 era sticks lying around, since old doujin fighters work with D-input. We did! &nbsp;And even then, one of the sticks R2 inputs didn’t work, so Guilewinquote took the L and used that stick in our session. Yatagarasu is so old, 2 X-input devices overwrite each other. <br><br>Yatagarasu is a very fun game, it’s just so alarming on how hard it is to actually play.<br><br>Phenomenal work as always! Glad more people will know about Yatagarasu.

  Yatagarasu is the reason I don&apos;t crowdfund videogames. The crowdfunding campaign got $118,243 but that&apos;s not enough for multiple people to work extensively on a game for years. It&apos;s a really small team and that&apos;s not &quot;quit your job&quot; money. It&apos;s still a passion project. Realistically, it makes sense that it turned out this way. It&apos;s still disappointing though. But it really shows the importance of publishers and that crowdfunding alone isn&apos;t enough. But Skullgirls and Them&apos;s Fightin&apos; Herds also taught us the dangers of publishers. Indie fighting games are in a weird place because we expect long-term support but they devs are barely getting paid.

  Ah, the art was handled by an SNK character designer and CAVE artist. Thats why the game always looked so damn cool.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCA_tQDAejo&amp;t=300">5:00</a> &quot;This is just the beginning of Yatagarasu failing to deliver.&quot;<br><br>Not that it doesn&apos;t contribute to the overall feeling towards the game during this time, as someone who was following the game and the devs closely before the Indiegogo (I backed at $138), I do want to just highlight that the Legend of Raven port was being handled entirely by Nicalis, the original team had no involvement with it, and the reason why Legend of Raven and Attack on Cataclysm were happening simultaneously is that the Yata team were banking on console sales to help keep the development of the game going, but Nicalis was taking so long to actually release the port that they couldn&apos;t wait any longer and joined up with Nyu for the Indiegogo so they could get any amount of cash to keep development moving. Nicalis would continue advertising the game well into like 2015/2016, but in a now deleted tweet by a member of the yata team, they had stopped discussions long before that and they had no idea what the state of the game was.<br><br>For what it&apos;s worth, I got to play Legend of Raven at E3 2014, on Vita no less, and it was immediately obvious why it was taking so long. Nicalis was essentially remaking the game from scratch, making entirely new pixel art stages and new music and converting the game to widescreen. So even if you wanted the classic 4.3 version of the game, you weren&apos;t getting that either. In this process of remaking the game, they also managed to make it inconsistent with the original 4.3, it had many mistakes and quirks that made it an unfaithful port. I made a video going over my experience with it and got a Totally Not Mad™ email from Tyrone of Nicalis because of it where he said the game was going to be awesome and they had the blessing of the original team to make all these changes and that the game would be better for it. Then it never came out. Good one, Tyrone.

  These failed crowdfinding projects really make me feel like an anime fan on prom night.

  I had no idea an update for this game dropped in 2024! I picked up Attack on Cataclysm on Steam back in the day and could not get the game to work in similar way to you and never tried it again. I really wanna go back to it now after watching this video.

  Another one that is worth mentioning is Capoeira Fighter 3, wich is a flash game that still has updates up to this day. If you think SF3 is one in a million fighting game, Capoeira Fighter 3 is one in a Billion fighting game
