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

Every time I see a new update about this game I just feel more glad that I didn’t go through with backing it.

Don’t forget, backers can now download the Apology Edition of the game from the Humble Store. It lets you play 4 stages I think.

Transformation system is still in in some form, pretty sure I saw a video of beck using a sword form. I don’t think it’s as expansive as it was believed to be, think it’s just the standard “get powers from bosses”.

Without the transformation this pretty much becomes another mega man clone. I was looking forward to it, it was supposed to be a key feature, wth Inafune has been doing all this time.

lol, fuck this game.

Niggas hating including me but ill see yall feb 16

(sighs…)

game is shit

i asked about that shit like 3 months ago that we haven’t seen shit all about the transformation mechanic then.

hopefully this game will be kinda fun.

Man…why don’t the bosses explode? It doesn’t feel like much of a victory if the bosses don’t kaboom.

I think story-wise you’re not supposed to be destroying them, but saving them from some sort of virus. By shooting them. Somehow that works.

I guess Beck thinks all those other infected robots he encounters through the rest of the level can just go fuck off, though.

What did the transformation system encompass? I’m assuming it’s more than just Beck, Mega-Manning bosses powers right?

My friend played the demo and said shit feels like a megaman game with no life and soul

Without the transformation mechanic, it really does feel like a mega buster only megaman game with more annoying boss fights. You can shoot the shit out of a boss, but won’t do any damage until you charge them when they become vulnerable. And unless you hit them with that charge immediately, the amount of damage you do will decay rapidly.

Honestly, the game doesn’t look bad, just not hyped about it

I’ll play it eventually, but its not a must have for me at this point

Don’t waste your time… There’s dozens of Mega Man fan games that have more heart and honesty behind them than this shit.

Speaking of fangames, another one came out 2 days ago:

Haven’t played it yet. Haven’t played MNo 9 demo yet either.

All this shit depresses me.

Legends 3 will never be released, and no sequel ZX Advent to see how Elysuim was set up

Point in the right direction, I’m down for awesome fan games

Me too

Mega Man: Unlimited is probably the most well-done.

There’s Rockman 4: Minus Infinity, which is an amazing remake of MM4… Then there’s the off-beat take that is Rokko Chan, which isn’t technically a MM game, but stars a female bot and features dashing like the MMX games, but is otherwise an homage to classic 8-bit Mega Man. Rokko Chan also has an amazing soundtrack.

Rockman 7 and 8 Famicom Remake, which takes MM7 and 8 and remakes them in the classic 8-bit aesthetic, with a few changes to keep things fresh.

There’s a ton of them out there(and quite a few shitty ones), but they are all at the very least better than Mega Man X-over, and unlike MN9, are actually available now and don’t require you to line Inafune’s crooked pockets.
