Keiji Inafune is making a spiritual successor to Mega Man

this just in - http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mightyno9/mighty-no-9
sounds like it'll be a sidescrolling platformer like the original series, tho in the pitch he mentions how disappointed he was with the cancellation of legends 3 and wants to make up for it. not a huge megaman buff myself, but i'll def toss some cash at this project once i've gotten some sleep.

I will totes purchase this if it comes to Wii U. If it turns out to be a stretch goal, then I will contribute!

Dude, how is he not going to get sued for this?!  It's like, exactly a Megaman game!  Did you see the character art in the video?  Among tons of others, Roll and Rush are pretty much copied exactly  



Either way, I'm pretty amped.  That said, I'm with RD up there.  I only want it if it's gonna hit consoles. ZERO desire to play this on a PC.

You mean you're not the first backer to pay for dinner with Inafune?

The last item in their list of stretch goals is porting this game to the PS3, 360, and Wii U. It would have to reach $2,500,000, which is a lot, but this thing is catching on like wildfire, so who knows?

Physical game box and manual?

BACKED!

If I hadn't been furloughed this year, then maybe *sigh*

Man, based on how it's going so far, it doesn't seem like too much of a stretch to hit that 2.5M

If/When that happens, maybe Capcom will get a clue and stop treating their most beloved mascot like a dirty diaper

this pretty much proves if they had released the Mega Man Legends 3 Prototype at even a few dollars, they would have made enough money to fund the full game. They're sitting on a gold mine with Mega Man but they're too cheap/lazy/afraid to to innovate to realize it.

[Retro Deckades]

I can't believe how many backers some of the more expensive pledges have. Someone has pledged $10 000 to have dinner with Mr. Inafune! Awesome, yes, but damn!

[wiggy]

Yeah, one day and it's at 2/3 of it's initial goal.  Capcom, you seeing this?  Dear lord, capitalize on your valuable IPs for goodness sake!

[Forte]

the shareholders should throw out their whole management after seeing this. it's actually really embarrassing to Capcom

[Aton7]

The way things are going, 2.5 or even 3 million doesn't seem too far off. If this goes to the Wii U, I will be ecstatic.

I see.
If I could, I'd push my pledge up to $99. I want access to that extra transformation. The other stuff is nice too, but game content is most important to me.
Well, I have about a month. Maybe things will change.

29 days left and the basic goal was already reached!!! I'm really excited.
