Mighty No. 9 - Keiji Inafune's Next Mega Man

Mighty No. 9 is an all-new Japanese side-scrolling action game that takes the best aspects of the 8- and 16-bit era classics you know and love, and transforms them with modern tech, fresh mechanics, and fan input into something fresh and amazing!

You play as Beck, the 9th in a line of powerful robots, and the only one not infected by a mysterious computer virus that has caused mechanized creatures the world over to go berserk. Run, jump, blast, and transform your way through six stages (or more, via stretch goals) you can tackle in any order you choose, using weapons and abilities stolen from your enemies to take down your fellow Mighty Number robots and confront the final evil that threatens the planet!

YES.
Will throw money at this.

looks like what megaman should’ve been.

This is fucking sad. Stop being fucking pricks for once Capcom.

My favorite Mega Man game is 6 because of all the abilities you could get with Rush and it genuinely felt like a different game.

I’m all for this but I just hope it’s unique, allows you to take on a level in however way you want (kinda’ like a Metroidvania, kinda’).

ahem
Mighty Man in the US please.

Damn. I’m on this. It looks like everything I want in a Mega Man game, and most video games in general.

Get shitted on*(yet again)*, Capcom.

I’ve never said this in regards to a video game, but I feel the phrase is most appropriate:

I’m hard.

I need this in me

My favorite part is how Inafune isn’t even trying to hide the fact that he’s retooling Mega Man.

I mean COME ON, no matter how you look at it, this is Roll and Aero. Seriously.

I am so backing the shit out of this.

I just pledged…

Rock & Roll
Beck & Call

The names are spelled almost the same and are even phonetically similar LOL. I’m so loving the direction this game is taking. Good one Inafune. I just hope it has dashing like the X and Zero series.

For all those that are worried: the game is being localized to English by the same people that did Fire Emblem Awakening.

On another note: THE MAIN THEME IS TOO FUCKIN’ BALLA.

If I wasn’t broke right now I would drop a couple bills on this. I love the art style, design, theme… Everything.

There isn’t anything about this that I don’t love

This is both hilarious and gangsta at the same time.

The Hilarity: This is obviously Mega Man.

The Gangsta: (1.) Capcom fucks MM up repeatedly, Keiji is on a mission to do it right. (2.) This isn’t even a shot at Capcom, this guy genuinely cares about this franchise and wants it to be great again and if it’s a hit Capcom’s gonna look stupid (which seems to happen quite often nowadays) anyway and I believe that’s not even his intent. He’s gonna make Capcom look like a bag O’ dicks just by doin right by his own creation. O’course that’ if the game is actually good and it looks visually appealin’ so far.

Damn. This just went up and it’s already over $108K.

This is going to be the first time I’ve ever dropped money on a kickstarter.

YES YES YES YES YES YES (Daniel Bryan voice)

YUSSSSS God the design is even better than Mega man’s. So hype for this right now.

I’m going to laugh if Capcom sends this guy a cease and desist.
