Last year we reported on the development of Unholy Night: The Darkness Hunter, a one-on-one SNES fighter developed by a team of ex-SNK staffers.
The title has now progressed to the point where additional funding is required to create physical cartridges, and as a result a Kickstarter campaign has been launched with a target goal of $52,500.
For a $35 pledge you'll get the final game on a smoke-coloured cart, but $70 gets you a gold-covered variant. Both of these will ship in proper packaging. If you're looking to give as lower amount, a $10 pledge will earn you a third-party SNES controller.
Are you keen on backing this project? Let us know by posting a comment.
Thanks to Zargon for the tip!

This looks amazing. Please put this on the virtual console.
Samurai Shodown is misspelled twice as Samurai Showdown on their Kickstarter page.
@Late Victoly will not be theirs!
Looks great. I'm tempted, but I've spent way too much already. I hope it all goes well, maybe I'll pick up a cartridge once it's gone into production.
It's tempting, but...a whopping six characters. If they're super-balanced, that's fine I guess, but I guess an SNES cart does have it's limitations, especially with all those animations...why was this not made for a Neo Geo console again?
Looks like a KoF Lite
Too bad my SNES has been dead for years. Actual cartridges do little for me.
I was all set to pledge for a gold cartridge but they're making them US cartridge shaped only. It won't fit in either of my Super Famicoms and I don't want to go modding the cartridge slot as it looks ugly. Now if they did a Super Famicom themed cart with matching packaging I'd be all over it!
Put it on switch or 3ds
Just pledged for the gold. This looks awesome!
Not my style of game but would think about doing this anyway to encourage the concept.
Imagine if companies could go back and do on-demand copies of their SNES games. No more $600 on eBay, just place an order and the game is shipped.
I love that people are still making games for the SNES and in actual cartridge form, but this really doesn't interest me personally. I still hope it finds its audience and does well enough.
This is the first I'm hearing of this game, but a new fighter on the SNES? Backed.
Hope it plays well. ^_^
I hope this makes its way to Steam soon. I got rid of my SNES many years ago.
You can also pre-order the game on Amazon Japan. I have no idea if that's related to the Kickstarter or not, they haven't answered my question about that. But it could be a different shell, or could be a US shell like the KS, there's no packaging shots yet.
Just another Street Fighter Mortal Kombat rip off been there done that
