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

[Legendary_Hoamaru]

My wallet.

[angelpalm]

Now if only Makoto Ikehara and Tatsuya Yoshikawa would come to Inafune with some ideas on a new Breath of Fire after this. Then all would be right with the world. I wonder what an alternative name for it would be though?

[Korbidon]

As Mega Man is essentially a clone of Astro Boy anyway, I think Inafune is fine.

[MajormelisThere]

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

With their already in the toilet reputation? The PR hit Capcom would take would probably be the finishing blow for them.

Remember the vitriol from the community for all the cancelled Mega Man games? The constant trolling they do to an already irate Mega Man fanbase?

Now imagine that level of hate multiplied by infinity… Inafune is a fucking genius-- If the project succeeds, he’ll be hailed as a hero who loves his creation so much he would go this far to ensure its legacy, if Capshit shuts him down, he’ll be a martyr and that company will have to go into hiding for the next decade from the massive PR shitstorm they would take…

He’s got them bitches in a checkmate position. He just Aizen’d Capcom in the most poetic way possible…

this sounds like last weeks episode of breaking bad
but more videogame-ey

I just realized. The release window for this is around spring 2015? fuuuuck that’s a long ass time. Also, over 212K on the first day is mighty swift. At this speed, the goal will be made in no time. Those mystery stretch goals though.

I think the stretch goals are more stages and console releases.

So basically in a nutshell:

[Joshkaz]

Isn’t that what dinner is all about?

Lol It’s Keiji Inafune… You better learn! If not possible… You better appreciate his presence! Smile and nod.

[yah_yaahh_b_tch]

Isnt he a multi-millionaire tho?

You would think with his resources he wouldnt NEED the money, even though it seems pretty apparent he wants fan input.

SRK should do a side fundraiser to buy a couple of those 2.5k “create a character” things.

Let’s just give him this:

As far as I understand it, even people with a lot of money don’t want to be sole backers of big projects, in case something gets seriously fucked up and it ends up costing the company a huge chunk of change.

Same reason Richard Garriot did a fundraiser for his game, despite being one of the wealthiest individuals on the planet.

It’s not good business to the sole investor in a creative project.

If the game looks anything like that picture in the OP, I think I found the first game that might legit distract me from GTA V (I know this is slated for 2015 but GTA MMOnline = 2014 bodied)

Is this game affiliated with Capcom or Mega Man in any way?

No.
Mighty No. 9 is a side-scrolling action game inspired by titles like Mega Man, and it’s being made by many developers who’ve worked on Mega Man games in the past, but it’s 100%, top-to-bottom an all-new property that shares no characters, code, fiction, or anything else besides its genre with Mega Man. So while some of us are ex-employees of Capcom, and all of us are big fans of their games, this project has nothing to do with Capcom or Mega Man.

Has there been a Burn Man before?

[Buster_Cannon]

Oh man, I’m so hype for this! Inafune got tired of Megaman getting the short end of the stick so he decided to build a better robot. So many shots are fired at Capcom and it’s not even intentional, Inafune just loves his character.

Has there been a Burn Man before?

Burner Man

Hey, close enough!

[Phantom_Angel]

Hasn’t even been 12 hours yet and 1/3 of the goal has been reached… That’s crazy.

[maxx]

…im worried capcom could potentially sue. its kinda clear its a rip off.

Hasn’t even been 12 hours yet and 1/3 of the goal has been reached… That’s crazy.

[Hawkingbird]

It raised 1/3 of it’s goal on day fucking one. Capcom, I hope your paying attention right now.

[HD-Man]

@Hawkingbird: One thing I’ve learned about Capcom, is that they do NOT learn lessons

It does mention that an interpreter will be there - and that dinner is on Keiji…hotel and air fare is on you though - but I guess that’s no biggie if you got 10k to throw away.
