Resident Evil is dead, Breath of Fire is dead, Mega Man is dead. So fuck Crapcom, and please take my money Inafune! Capcom-hate aside, I think the name Mighty No. 9 doesn't really stick.
Defiantly gonna keep an eye on this. Though I question the console platforms. With a 2015 release date PS3 and 360 owners will have moved on to the PS4/Xbone.
Well it'll very likely just be a PSN/XBLA release, so it can easily be on PS3/PS4 and Xbox 360/Xbox One.
We're past 520k. I think we might reach the required 900k by the end of today. Keiji Inafune is the co-creator of Megaman along with Tokuro Fujiwara. Inafune didn't do as much as Fujiwara but he still helped in the making of the character/game. Later on, Inafune was the sole producer of the Megaman Legends and Battle Network series and he was the main producer of the Zero series. He was also one of the producers of the ZX series. He may not have "made" Megaman but he definitely is one of it's fathers.
I have faith in Inafune. This looks like it'll be a blast! And it's already pretty dang close to it's goal, too...
$600k already. I will be legitimately surprised if this doesn't hit the minimum goal before the first 24 hours at this point.
I must say I'm not a Megaman fan or anything, but this kickstarter has me legitimately excited. It feels like if this gets pulled off, we might finally be able to break free of the amazingly awful decisions that Japanese game publishers have been pulling the past couple of years in trying to chase that Call of Duty crowd. Who needs those publishers when fans can fund projects directly! (Hoping this does not backfire in some sort of game-industry everyone-saw-it-coming spectacular.)
