Keiji Inafune (essentially Megaman's creator) left Capcom fairly recently in order to pursue his own endeavors. It seems Capcom wasn't giving him the creative freedom he wanted. Now he's back and is working on a new Megaman style platformer. Check it out <a href=http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mightyno9/mighty-no-9>here.</a> The kickstarter opened yesterday, and it's already over half way to it's goal. O.O Guess this goes to show that the man knows what gamers want. Being a huge Keiji Inafune and Megaman fan, I'm definetly going to contribute. How about you? What do you guys think?

So freaking amped about this game. Already donated too. ;D
-
That is looking very awesome! I've always loved megaman, I'll happily give him moneys :3
-
i think that 2014 is going to be the best year for video games since the 90's!
both of my favourite game creators of all time (Keiji Inafune and Doug Tennapel) are making new games that are spiritual successors of their best previous titles, but moreso (the latter being Armikrog (http://armikrog.com/), if you haven't seen it yet). additionally, the best Wii U games are scheduled to come out then (HD Zelda?!). simply put: EXCITE!

Giga Man!
-
Wow that looks really great. It has an old school feel while using modern graphics. It's a shame that some publishers and companies forces you to do what they want.
-
I never played Mega Man x.x
What's it like? :P
-
It's an old school platformer in which you choose the order in which you tackle the initial stages. When you defeat a stage boss, you get his weapon. Each boss is weak to one or more of the other bosses weapons and resistant or take no damage to others. The series is regarded for having pretty good difficulty and arcade style game play. There have been loads of spin-offs and side series since then. If you want a good idea of gameplay, look up some gameplay of Megaman II or Megaman 9. It's a fantastic series. :D Megaman X is the 16/32 bit counterpart, and is also worth a look. I hear some of the side series games are good too, but I haven't really played any of them.
-
I've also never played the original Mega Man NES games. I've played the heck out of Mega Man Battle Network 3 and 5.
-
Why is it credit card only? Now I can't give them my money :'( No doubt this project will be funded though, it's super awesome. I've always loved the Mega Man franchise and I can't wait to play this. Why no paypal or something D:
I wonder who pledged the 10k.
-
That's a pretty cool game I should look forward to, it kinda looks like Megaman, but who cares?
The project's goal of $900,000 has been almost funded in a day, so I trust them to make it look really awesome.
-
I'd love it if it reaches the $2,500,000 goal, the WiiU really needs some classic love
-
it just reached the goal :)
-
So, that initial goal set was 900,000. It's only been two days and it's at 900,500 and rising as I am writing this. I can see this making the 2,500,000 goal pretty easily. :D
*edit* 902,843 by the time I finished writing this post! O.O
-
<a bit off topic> look how much the 3doodler got supported on there ^^ http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1351910088/3doodler-the-worlds-first-3d-printing-pen </a bit off topic>
And yeah, i can see 2 500 000 also :D
(you hat a 0 too much AoC :P)
-
I won't be surprised if that extra 0 won't actually be too much at the end. I can easily see at least 10-15M$ minimum.
-
@Sorunome: Whoops, must've gotten over-excited. :D
-
Posted a mockup of an NES cart for this game <a href=http://ourl.ca/15958;msg=305556> here</a>
:thumbsup:
-
I hope it's released worldwide, though, not just Japan, for example.
-
Yes, it will be world wide.
-
It'd be stupid to launch a kickstarter for something that will only be released in Japan. That's like: Thanks for pledging everyone, but there is no way for you to get this game.
-
By the way: So far PC, Mac, and Linux versions of this game are confirmed. More coming as goals are met. ^^
-
linux? EPIC! Finally another linux game :D

Although Japanese developers have often shat in our faces before. For example, even though the RPG market expanded since the last 20 years, look at what Nintendo did to North Americans with the release of Xenoblade Chronicles and the many canceled North American releases in the past because supposedly we were n00b at gamings or wouldn't buy them.
That said, I doubt they would ever do this, and I hope that Nintendo or Capcom won't sue them for copyright infrigments.
-
Indeed, I don't really see why they wouldn't release it in other countries.
Firstly, they know it will get pirated if they don't. Secondly, they are indie, so they don't have to live under the tiranny of the average producer. Also, if they would only release it in Japan, why would they bother to subtitle the videos linked on the kickstarter?
-
I guess they could do it if they ever noticed that almost all Kickstarter backings were from Japan and it became clear that a North American/European release would sell poorly. Then they could maybe cancel any plan for a North American release. However, it would be a bad move unless it makes them lose money or something.
-
Aaaaand it reached $1,500,000, reaching the "New Game Plus and Turbo Mode" goal!
-
Yupp! ^o^ It's going great so far!
-
Aaaaand they lowered the WiiU/PS3/360 goal from $2,500,000 to $2,200,000!

They are not using any intellectual material from capcom nor nintendo. It's just similar to the megaman series, but you cannot blame the original dev. for that.
-
Apple managed to sue people for making squares with rounded edges, I won't be surprised if Capcom/Nintendo tried to sue them.
-
Apple should just fuck off alltogether. You cannot patent rounded edges.
-
There are also book authors and signers who sue other artists for using two or three similar sentences in their respective artwork.
-

Lol yeah but in the smartphone world everyone already sued every other. :P Stupid humans./me runs
-

agreed. apple sucks.
Also, patents need some re-organization to disallow such patents.
-
As long as you don't rip sprites from megaman, slap them on your own game and call it nnegamanX3: Just don't bitch about games, world.
-
Closing in on $1,800,000 - "Just" $400,000 to go for console versions :D
@Patent discussion: The current patent system is completely broken... I doubt anyone will do anything against it though.
-
Mighty no. 9 has just added paypal support. I'm pretty happy, as I think it'll bring more backers in. We also just passed the stretch goal for current consoles (PS3, XBOX-360, and WII-U)yesterday. :D
-
PAYPAL YAY :D Didn't we pass the Wii U mark already? Also, is it me or have they shifted the backer-only things from $40 to $60?
-
Yea, Wii-U was yesterday. They did add a few new pledges, but they didn't shift any.
-
It's the final day for Mighty no.9. As of right now we are closing in on the goal for portable systems. It will be on PC, Mac, Linux, Wii-U,PS3, Xbox 360, PS4, Xbox 1, and 3DS and Vita shortly when we meet those goals. There will also be a live stream towards the end. The 3 designs for Call(Beck's partner) that move on will be announced at the end of the stream. Head over and support it if you want, and <a href=http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mightyno9/mighty-no-9/posts/611851>vote for your favorite Call design</a>(it's open to everyone!).
*Edit* Here's another <a href=http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mightyno9/mighty-no-9/posts/613681>interesting update</a> to look at. It shows of a test of the Unreal Engine, which the team chose to power this game. :)
-
Cool I hope that they reach the 3.7 M goal though that's probably not gonna happen. D:
-
I don't know... it could potentially make it that far if donations in the next 15 hours exceed yesterdays. It's possible, but not really likely. Just gotta wait and see. I'm super happy regardless. ;D
-
By the way if I could I'd definitely donate $20 but unfortunately I can't because no credit card. :(
-
Yea, that is a problem for younger people wanting to donate. :/
-
It'll run on linux? nice :D
-
By the way: So far PC, Mac, and Linux versions of this game are confirmed. More coming as goals are met. ^^
linux? EPIC! Finally another linux game :D
Yupp, did you forget? :P

that is why i made that comment, trying to say that i find it awesome it'll be released on linux :P
-
Update: 3DS and Vita goal have been reached! :D Now I'll be able to play Mighty No. 9 on the go! ;D
-
That thing is getting so many backers O.O
-
Yupp. Live stream tonight as the Kickstarter ends from 3pm to 6pm (EDT).
*edit* 8 Bit soundtrack and soundfx that can be turned on ingame just added as a new stretch goal. XD WANT ... SO... BAD.......
-
Yea, that is a problem for younger people wanting to donate. :/
I fall right into this category. :/
Also for the 8bit sound track well,/me wants O.O
-
8-bit soundtrack has to come! I hope we can get that extra $200k :3 Also I would LOVE to get one of these: (http://i.imgur.com/f5OgxUn.jpg) o.o
-
A new 8bit soundtrack by the original megaman composer! Awesome!
-
I would definitively want a 8 bit soundtrack and the NES cart USB stick! O.O (unless the latter has the same memory as a NES game :P)
-
Wow, so it's done. All stretch goals reached. EVERY... SINGLE... ONE. Over 4mil made. What a fantastic Kickstarter. @Soundtrack: The composer from Megaman II was also revealed to have joined this project recently. That soundtrack is gonna be so bad ass! (｀_´)ゞ
-
This proves what kind of Mega Man game people wants.
-
What if one of those backers who payed for "YOUR VOICE IN THE ENDING THEME" will say 'the game'. We'll all lose >.<
-
Yup I didn't think of this. :P
-
Those NES flashdrives look cool!. I should make a real NES flash cartridge some day that is playable. Store a rom on it like a usb stick and then play it on the NES. It's gonna be quite difficult to make though.

That's still on the gray par of legal/not legal. In France, these kind of flashcards are forbidden to be sold, thnaks to Big N.
-
How can it be forbidden? Using rom images pulled from the internet is illegal, but making your own hardware that plugs into your own old game system is not. I am not planning on selling it.
