I pledged $1 dollar before the campaign started. How do I get my free items?
If you pledged $1 before the campaign launch, you’re on our Early Supporter list! Just increase your pledge to any physical tier during the campaign—no need to manually add the bonus items to your order. They’ll be automatically included when we fulfill rewards.

What if I pledged $1 before the campaign and I want a bundle that has items I should be getting for free?
If you pledged $1 before the campaign and want to back a bundle that already includes the slipcase and dust jacket, the cost of those items will be credited back to you in the pledge manager after the campaign ends. This way, you still receive your early supporter bonuses without paying extra for them. While Kickstarter doesn’t allow us to automate this during checkout, we’ll handle it smoothly after the campaign concludes.

Will this book be available in stores after the campaign?
At the moment, we don’t have any publishing or retail distribution deals in place beyond this campaign. That means the only guaranteed way to get the book is by backing it here on Kickstarter.

What games will you cover?
The NES-ential Celebration dives into the flagship and blockbuster titles that defined the era, as well as the weird, overlooked, and cult-classic gems that made the NES library so unforgettable.

What is BackerKit?
BackerKit is a service that crowdfunded project creators use to keep track of hundreds to tens of thousands of backers—from shipping details, pledge levels, preferences and quantities, whether they have paid or had their card declined, special notes, and everything in between!
The BackerKit software and support team is independent from the campaign’s project team—BackerKit does not handle the actual reward shipping. For more information about the preparation or delivery status of your rewards, please check the project's updates page.
How does BackerKit work?
After the campaign ends, the project creator will send you an email with a unique link to your survey. You can check out a walkthrough of the process here.
I never received my invitation. How do I complete the survey?
The most common reasons for not receiving a survey email is that you may be checking an email inbox different from the email address you used to sign up with Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account, or it may be caught in your spam filter.
Confirm that the email address you are searching matches the email address tied to your Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or Tilt Pro account. If that doesn’t work, then try checking your spam, junk or promotions folders. You can also search for "backerkit” in your inbox.
To resend the survey to yourself, visit the project page and input the email address associated with your Kickstarter, Indiegogo or Tilt Pro account.
How do I update my shipping address?
BackerKit allows you to update your shipping address until the shipping addresses are locked by the project creator. To update your address, go back to your BackerKit survey by inputting your email here.
When will my order be shipped, charged or locked?
That is handled directly by the project creator. BackerKit functions independently of the project itself, so we do not have control of their physical shipping timeline. If you want to check on the project’s status, we recommend reading over the project's updates page.
I completed the survey, but haven't received my rewards yet. When will they arrive?
As BackerKit does not actually handle any rewards or shipping, the best way to stay updated on the shipping timeline would be to check out the project's updates page.
