335 THOUSAND IN ONE FUCKING DAY.
lol @ the people who find out about this tomorrow and the day after…
I am a little disappointed though. He should be coming up with new ideas, not rehashing his old ones. We have like 40 megaman games already. He needs something new to separate him from that character.
Thats like asking a mother or father to separate from their child.
Megaman is Inafunes Child. One he loves with all his heart.
Agreed, still gonna back him on this though. Hopefully this is successful and he branches out more.
I don’t see anything wrong with making a game in the style of Megaman, especially since Capcom has permanently retired the character, the genre, and anything even close to the original game. It looks like he’s going to be taking SOME liberties with the Megaman formula anyways, Beck appears to transform into different weapons and vehicles and other junk instead of just getting powerups, which basically rewrites the entire foundation on which Megaman games are designed and how levels are put together. It seems like this game will be a little more about platforming and puzzle solving than the more sort of run and gun type of game Megaman kinda is. I mean, of course those elements are in Megaman, but with how Beck literally turns into a thing instead of changing colors it seems like something that will be more focused on.
I don’t know, we’ll all see how it turns out in the end I guess, maybe it will be just another notch in the Megaman belt, but even if it was is that really a bad thing?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAW YEEEEAAAAAH!!!
capcom will take notice and will through out some stupid random mega man game to draw attention from this project.
It’s just what companies do.
This is like a big middle finger to Capcom. I like it. I’m literally dancing with joy right now
Capcom won’t care. It’s Japan for fuck’s sake.
Watch the game fail in Japan, like anything worth playing.
This game looks like everything that i want on a megaman game.
There is no way that i am not backing up this.
Its my first time backing a KS project, kinda excited lol
It’s like a new Mega Man game in a similar visual style as Ducktales Remastered. Totally backing this.
Capcom, take note.
This is the first platformer I’ve seen in forever that I care about.
I wish I could donate some Yuan to the cause.
Nice “Fuck you” to Capcom.
Supported.
Now someone make a kickstarter for a 20 characters Street Fighter 5, using GGPO and having a training mode with displayable hit and hurtboxes and a decent story mode, please.
^ If it has Alex as a playable character then sure.
Is it possible to add to my pledge on this kickstarter?
I did the minimum because I’m short on cash…but my next pay period I plan to up it.
Well, obviously you couldn’t use the original licenses name.
I’d be very happy if the guys behind Skullgirls would do a 1v1 fighting game though.
With all the experience they’ve gotten with Skullgirls and the good job they did with the game overall, I’m sure they could make an amazing Street Fighter style game.
On topic:
Anyone else sad that they stated that the Japanese exclusive content won’t be translated?
I myself being a fan of Japanese gaming culture, would love to have an experience as authentic as possible, without having to actually learn Japanese, lol.
I mean shit like Poison being male, or other characters and scenarios being redesigned just to not rustle westerners jimmies makes me sad and I’d rather see how the game was envisioned originally.
For those who didn’t read the whole thing, I’m referring to this:
"Two quick reward notes: First, as the first major Kickstarter trying to appeal to both Western and Japanese backers, some rewards have an optional substitute Japanese version. In these cases, you’ll be free to choose this Japanese version instead of the Western (English) version when we contact you with a survey well before we ship anything. If we don’t hear back from you, we’ll assume that backers with addresses in Japan want the Japanese version, and all other backers want the Western (English) version of the reward. Just remember: the Japanese versions are not being made for English speakers—any text or other local aspects of these rewards will be in Japanese! (Sorry, tourists!) "
Pretty much the only thing that keeps me from backing more than the minimum amount.
“Introducing Xela!!!”
It is clear by how insanely fast the fund raising is going that people love Megaman. This looks incredible, one thing that is special about independent/kick starter projects Inafune is going to have a lot more creative freedom. This is going to be everything he wanted Megaman to be while at the same time being different.
I wonder if they’ll include the stage editor that MM Universe was supposed to have?
