The Bang² Busters 2 Kickstarter continues to move forward at an impressive pace, supported by a passionate and highly engaged community. After several weeks of updates, feedback, and new announcements, the campaign is now entering its final stretch. As of this writing, we are very close to reaching our 35,000 € goal, and each pledge brings us one step closer to this collective success.
In this momentum, we wanted to introduce a new option designed to offer even more flexibility to some of our backers: the possibility to exchange your copy of Bang² Busters 1 AES, included in the Emperor Honey US and JPN tiers. This decision comes after many discussions with the community, where several of you mentioned already owning the first game. True to our commitment to transparency, flexibility, and listening to your needs, we designed a simple and advantageous solution.
This article presents this new option in detail, along with the latest updates from the Kickstarter campaign, our objectives, and how this feature aligns with the spirit of the project.
The Emperor Honey (US and JPN) tiers include a physical copy of Bang² Busters 1 AES. However, we know that part of our community already owns this title in their Neo Geo collection. Because we want every pledge to feel rewarding and personalized, we are now introducing the following alternative:
You may exchange your copy of Bang² Busters 1 AES for any other AES game available on the PixelHeart website.
Conditions for the exchange:
This option is exclusively available to backers of the Emperor Honey US and JPN tiers.
Eligible games include all AES titles available on our website, excluding pre-orders.
Backers who selected the Neo Geo AES Classic US/JPN add-on are not eligible for this exchange; their add-on content remains unchanged.
Our goal is simple: ensure you receive a reward that truly suits you, without duplicates and without compromise.
How the Exchange Will Work
Once the Kickstarter campaign is successfully funded and we move on to the shipment preparation phase, our team will contact each eligible backer individually. At that time, you will be able to choose whether you want to:
keep Bang² Busters 1 AES, or
replace it with another eligible AES title of your choice.
This personalized follow-up ensures smooth coordination and allows you to select the physical edition that best fits your collection.
A New Add-On: The AES Snap Lock Box
We are also pleased to announce a new add-on available on the Kickstarter: the AES Snap Lock Box, a protective case designed specifically for Neo Geo AES games.
This box, completely blank and without artwork, offers a clean and elegant design. Only the PixelHeart name appears on the spine, making it perfect for collectors who want a uniform and protective storage solution for their games.
This add-on is now available to all backers and joins the latest additions to the campaign, providing even more options for collectors and enthusiasts.
A Campaign Close to the Goal – Thank You
While this article highlights important updates, we want to once again express our sincere gratitude to the community. Hundreds of you have supported this project, shared the campaign, sent encouraging messages, or asked thoughtful questions that helped us refine this Kickstarter.
Thanks to you, we have already reached more than 80 percent of our goal. Only a final push is needed to reach the 35,000 € required to fully complete Bang² Busters 2. Every new backer brings us closer to this milestone.
We would also like to remind you that several Kickstarter exclusives are still available, including additional content, collector items, an exclusive video, and new creatures revealed only on the campaign page. If you haven’t explored all these updates yet, now is the perfect time.
Why This Final Percentage Matters
The final days of a Kickstarter campaign are always crucial. This is often when the success of a project is decided. For Bang² Busters 2, reaching the 35,000 € goal ensures:
full validation of physical production,
the manufacturing and delivery of all rewards according to our quality standards,
stable and sustainable distribution of the game,
and confirmation that the Neo Geo community continues to support new creations on the platform.
Your participation, even late or modest, can truly make a difference.
The addition of these new options once again demonstrates our commitment to making the Kickstarter experience as rewarding as possible for all backers. We want every supporter to feel fully valued, without frustration or limitations.
We are close to the finish line, and it is thanks to your energy, passion, and trust that Bang² Busters 2 is on the verge of becoming another success in the modern Neo Geo scene.
Thank you for everything you have already contributed, and thank you in advance for the final boost that will help us reach our goal.
The wait is finally over: Bang² Busters 2 has officially launched on Kickstarter! This campaign marks the beginning of a retro, community-driven
