In case you don't know what Saber Rider (Seijūshi Bismarck) is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saber_Rider_and_the_Star_Sheriffs
Now get all the music feels with the intro to the anime: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKxWl4PcBY4
Funding goal: 75,000 USD
Challenge Phase on Nintendo 3DS Concept Art / Mockup
The Nintendo 3DS will make use of booth screens for the Challenge Phase. The fight will be displayed in two perspectives. On the 3D Screen you will see the full fight in stereoscopic 3D.
Ramrod is being controlled by our 4 heroes. Each hero has his own control unit. By touching the different control units, functions and moves will be activated and executed. The whole fight will be displayed in the first person perspective on the touch screen.
The Challenge Phase on the PC Version will differ a bit from the 3DS Version.
The dev team consists of a bunch of veterans who have been making games since the 90s. Project Coordinator is Christian Strauß, who previously worked at Nintendo of Europe for six years. Personally, that makes me actually think their amiibo stretch goal isn't just made of clouds and rainbows due to the previous connection with Ninty.
1,072 backers pledged $96,591 to help bring this project to life.

We will complete the task and retell the full story of Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs in the form of a Video Game for the Nintendo 3DS, Windows, Mac and Linux. We are planning to release the game in Europe, America and Japan. If we reach certain stretch goals we will expand the range of platforms and possibilities.
In order to use the Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs IP we got the full support from World Events Productions (WEP). WEP is also known for Voltron: Defender of the Universe and Denver the last Dinosaur. We also have the full support of the original animation producer Studio Pierrot (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierrot_(company)) which is also know for anime series like Hikaru no Go, Blue Dragon, Naruto and Bleach.
Do you need to know the original series in order to play the Game?
No! It is not necessary to know the original series in order to play or understand our game. The game gives you all the necessary information. After you play our game through, you'll probably want to watch it!

Budget:
Please note that unlike other, bigger Vidoe Game Kickstarter campaigns, the amount we are trying to fund here is the actual amount we need for the development of the game. This campaign was made and is run just by our team with the support of WEP. There are no marketing companys involved. This project is by fans for fans and all gamers around the globe.
Unfortunately if this Kickstarter Campaign is not successful, we can not finish the development and the project is over. Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs is a property of Studio Pierrot and WEP. The IP and our agreement with them is bound to the success of this Kickstarter Campaign - Please understand.
