The Kickstarter for Rivals 2 has begun! They've already met their goal of $200,000 in less than a day of the Kickstarter being live. At the time of this post, it sits at $393,000.

Trust me, if there is any game that can stand up to Super Smash Bros., it's this one! They have had the longest running and most popular indie platform fighter, and now that it is gaining more mechanics that Smash has (like shields, ledges, and throws) as well as some that are completely new to the genre, this will be a huge moment for the scene!

With Nintendo being stingy with their IP and overly controlling with how players interact with their games, something like this is needed, and it comes at a great time. The original Rivals of Aether is an awesome game but was only 2D pixel art and missing some important features that many people who play Smash have come to know and love. This sequel fixes those things!

The mad lads have done it once before, and I have total faith that they'll do it again but in a much larger fashion if only they are given the support to do so! If you want to stick it to Nintendo, this is one of the best ways. Support a company that will support the scene and actually has a REALLY good track record!
