How much new content will there be?
Some! The original goal was a straight-up reprint, but then I started thinking about ways to make it a little more of a collector’s type treasure that included as much BitF stuff as possible. Not counting any stretch goals, the new content will likely add up to around 30 - 40 pages or so. Including the new stretch goals, we’re looking at roughly double that!

Is anything going to be cut or altered from the original print?
As Hayao Miyazaki once famously etched into a katana, “No cuts”! No changes, no alterations. Everything is here exactly as you remember it.
And admittedly, as anyone who’s printing out work from 16 years ago can attest to, some of these strips land better than others. I’m proud of this collective work but not every comic. Even so, cutting or altering my less-favorite entries would be a real disservice to all the fans who want the full collection. It’ll all be here!
…Okay, if I catch some obvious typo or something in the book’s text, or copyright dates etc, I might tweak that. And functional stuff like the Table of Contents’ page numbers of course. But I won’t be messing with the art.

Is this cool from a legal standpoint?
As always, yep! Brawl in the Family is a parody work not associated with Nintendo or any other game company (except for my own game company, BitFinity)! I even had a NOA employee order the last BitF collection, which was flattering. Derivative works are cool with them as long as they can’t be confused with official products. I do not own these characters except my boys Eario and Dededoo.

What if I want a different combination of rewards than what's here?
Let me know via Kickstarter message! I’m sure we can work something out. Remember that if you want a signed book, just choose it as an Add-On after picking your reward tier. If you’re getting multiple books, I’ll sign all of them for the price of one.

International shipping is pricey!
Not a question, but I agree! In the past I hadn’t been as diligent at getting good estimates and paid dearly for it, literally. So this time the shipping prices accurately reflect what the postage + supplies will cost. It’s crazy how much it all is, but I thought it’d be better to offer the option this time around for our international friends than have it not be available at all.

What are the dimensions of the Ultimate Edition book?
The thickness is going to be dependent on the number of pages, but I can get a decent estimate at this point. The dimensions of the book will likely be around 10” x 12” x 2.5”, or 25 cm x 30 cm x 6 cm. It will likely weigh between 6 and 7 pounds (2.7 to 3.2 kg). Again though, these numbers are estimates and not 100% final.

Last Updated At: 02/04/25What 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.
