Mighty No 9

Keiji Inafune gives Capcom a massive fuck you.
Not directly, but through his own spiritual successor to Mega Man, a game called Mighty No 9 which is getting funded through Kickstarter.

The team is composed of former Mega Man devs and is an obvious reaction to Capcom's unfathomable stupidity in killing the Mega Man franchise. The game consists of knock offs of everything from Mega Man, from the characters to the structure of the game. Despite this, it looks great. The project goal is $900,000, but in a single day they've reached one third of that. The highest stretch goal is $2,500,000 reduced to $2,200,000 for a Wii U, 360 and PS3 release. Watch them reach it. Watch the fans demonstrate a collective "fuck you Capcom" just by donating. Keiji is a goddamn genius.

Also, the highest backing reward is at $10,000. What do you get? Dinner with Keiji. Someone has already claimed it.

Wow O.O that is a lot of money , and the game just looks so fucking good.

I will join to this. ''FUCK YOU CAPCOM''

Beck for Smash Bros

This is just the kind of game we need. Day 2 and it's already halfway there!

Mighty No. 9 looks amazing and all... but... what will happen to Mega Man? D:

I'm guessing Capcom still owns it, so looks like Megaman isn't going to do anything.

They'll either
a) ignore them and continue to treat Mega Man like shit
b) sue them and continue to treat Mega Man like shit
or c) make a new Mega Man game to try and one-up them

ooh i saw this. looks amazing, can't wait to play it

Release date of possibly Spring of 2015 right? I need to remove this game from my memory until then...

I...need...money...to throw at this...

If Capcom actually gave up on treating him like shit and gave Mega Man to Comcept (where he should belong anyway) they could make Mega Man in this game somehow an antihero of Beck or something like that, I don't want the blue bomber to be completely forgotten. :S

I don't understand why capcom just gave up on megaman. He was their mascot for god knows how long.

"thanks for getting our name out there now go away."

there should be 6 bosses and have each character's first letter spell Capcom or something like that

lol the "main evil guy" design should be based on Capcom's CEO

F*CK YEA, MEGA-MAN REBORN!!  

This games going to be epic!

I loved Mega-Man sooooo frkin much all the way from the classic to X to Zero to ZX to ZXA to Legends and sooooooo much more  

and that is the end to my fan freak...

I think that's the problem. they started the other series and then completely ignored the original one.
Sure the X series was awesome.
Sure the megaman Zero series almost made me cry when Zero died (sorry for the spoiler to anyone who hasn't played)
And sure the ZX series is pretty awesome too (even though they gave up on it one game too soon since there are a few plot points to fill)
But classic megaman is what created them basically.
I want to see it again.
that's why I went ape-shit when they made that megaman vs street fighter game. 'Twas fun.

This game looks seriously sick. Capcom can kindly kiss Inafune's ass if they have a problem with it.

$839,299 out of $900.000 in one single day, holyshit. Mega Man fans are awesome.

I'm hoping for that stretch goal for consoles, that game deserves it.

$928,537 and growing!

it's just not as fast as the kickstarter for the homestuck game

Thank you Lange for bringing this to my Attention, just donated 800.00 dollars to the cause.

guess Im getting some kinda sketch book....

holy shit $800 dollars O_O you'd think you could get a free game for that. its over 10x the amount of the game

jesus fuck face that's ridiculous

well yeah but if you're willing to spend 800 dollars to support a video game you're probably not gonna mind another 50 for the game itself

if it was some kind of bonus edition then it'd probably be worth all the extra money if only for bragging rights lol
