Devolver Digital and Megacat Studios today announced Fork Parker’s Crunch Out today, an original game exclusively designed for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and pre-orders are now available at megacatstudios.com for $49.99. The entirety of Devolver Digital’s profits will benefit the video game industry’s Take This organization, which is a nonprofit dedicated to informing the games community about mental health issues, providing education and services within the industry and tackling mental illness prevention.
Fork Parker’s Crunch Out is a classic arcade-style game featuring the notorious Devolver Digital CFO as he bootstraps a ragtag group of game developers from a downtrodden garage studio to a high rise mega corporation using only his love of profit and questionable motivation tactics. Deadlines are not to be missed and Fork will use any and all methods of encouragement to keep his team focused and productive as they work to get their next big hit out on time and hit their bonuses, which are unfortunately tied to the game’s critical reception.
The game itself comes on an authentic cartridge and packaged in a SNES era game box with a classic game manual that will be inevitably lost by a younger sibling. Fork Parker’s Crunch Out is limited to 1,000 physical copies and sold exclusively at megacatstudios.com and at select independent game retailers around the United States.
