Support NeoGAF

[Busaiku]

Ha, they even keep the music themed names with Beck.

 

[Sickboy007]

Highest profile video game kickstarter ever?

 

[Professor Beef]

Hm

 

[rrs]

O_O

I like it.

Whoa. That looks awesome.

It's a concept shot, but if it happens daaamn this will be a nice game.

 

[Lambtron]

Why mention Vita and diss Wii U? They are both in the same situation lol

Well he also didn't mention Xbone so I have my suspicions.

 

[enzo_gt]

Maaaan Capcom is going to sue.

Yeah there's no way I don't see them suing.

 

[thefro]

Does 2PP have enough people to document this and DFA at the same time? I assume they'll be going to Japan for this one. Honestly this part of the KS intrigues more than the actual game since we rarely, if ever, see behind the scenes stuff in Japanese game development.

The kickstarter says they're just doing 3 30-minute episodes for this game (if they make it to 2 million).

 

[JoeFu]

Yay for console warriors, can't be a thread on gaf without any!

Can we just be happy that a game like this is even going to be made?

 

[JordanN]

They aren't targeting crazy next gen (whatever that would be for a 2.5 D game at this point). That being said this will come out on next gen consoles obviously.

I'll take anything Mega Man related right now so I don't see the graphics being a problem. Heck, 360 level is a still big step for Mega Man considering he doesn't even have a proper last gen game.

 

[vareon]

This is what happens when Cyborg 009 and Megaman had an affair.

 

[ultron87]

It's kind of weird just how Mega Man this is, but it isn't like anyone else is filling this need. Will likely back.

 

[Box of Bunnies]

 

[besada]

This might be the first Kickstarter that gets funded seconds after being put up

It went up by 10 grand while I watched the video.

 

[fallagin]

Ooh, this has some buzz behind it. They could reach the goal I think. The funding keeps rising every second!!

 

[zroid]

don't be silly

 

[ezekial45]

I'll be honest, that part really got me.

You should put this in the OP, that'll get people to donate.

 

[djplaeskool]

This thing is going to make so much bank.

It's like a crowd-funded FUCK YOU to Capcom.

 

[Tohsaka]

Pledged $60, this is the first time I've ever backed anything. Here's hoping the console versions get funded.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

This is what happens when Cyborg 009 and Megaman had an affair.

OH GOD. Cyborg 009 ; - ;

 

[Tobe]

Yeah there's no way I don't see them suing.

on what basis?

 

[Whimsical Phil]

I'm really glad that people are so hyped about Mighty No. 9. Listening to the reaction from the folks at the panel was amazing. The response on the Kickstarter page is blowing my mind.

As for the budget/timeframe, I know the dev team spent a lot of time going over things and making all sorts of adjustments in order to come up with realistic expectations for both. The last thing they want to do is end up running out of money before the game is finished or not being able to meet their expected launch date.

Spoiler

And yes, for those who listen to Player One Podcast, this is indeed the project that I'm working on with 8-4.

 

[casmith07]

Ooooh, I almost forgot about that new third party production thing! I'm going to tweet him as well.



I didn't tweet Shahid. His last tweet is that he is on a break from twitter for a week.

I know I was just asking "does" he respond, as in is he responsive on Twitter otherwise.

If so I'll also tweet him when he gets back from his hiatus.

 

[KillerTravis]

Sales-wise, of course. Sony's positioned Vita as a home for indie games though. Nintendo's not done the same for Wii U.

I mean, the proof is in the pudding. Are there as many indie games on or coming to Wii U as Vita?

Yes? And it's not like 2D platformers fans are exclusive to Vita, Wii U owners will eat this up as well if it's good. Look at Mighty Switch Force HD, the sequel is already announced to be coming in October for Wii U. Maybe you need to clean up you Vita love a little from those glasses.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Well he also didn't mention Xbone so I have my suspicions.

Yea I dont get it. Is xb1 not viable for indies?

 

[shira]

Damn that last pic he's gonna grind Capcom into dust, isn't he.

 

[chrono01]

I'm definitely going to pledge my support for the $60 physical copy later this week. This will be the first game Kickstarter I support.

My only question now is whether the English/Japanese box will have different artwork. I already know I'll get the manual in English since I can't read Japanese, but if the Japanese box-art is different [and superior, which is often the case] I might opt for that instead. Thankfully, I have some time to decide.

 

[DangerMouse]

This is what happens when Cyborg 009 and Megaman had an affair.

Two awesome series/franchises.

First Kickstarter I'll bite on. And holy shit at how quick the money is racking up, everyone's thirsty for some not-Megaman action.

This.

So ready.

 

[Bomber Bob]

wouldnt be hillarious if capcom sues?

 

[casmith07]

T_T

That right there is huge. RIP Mega Man Legends 3.

 

[JazzmanZ]

on what basis?

Everything about it is Megaman but with a different design.

Theres a metool expy, a sniper joe expy, a roll and eddie expy, everything expy.

It's basically if you made a Mario platformer but changed everything into a slightly different taiwan design of the characters.

 

[zroid]

I'll be honest, that part really got me.

You should put this in the OP, that'll get people to donate.

it's almost working on me :U

almost

 

[SolarPowered]

on what basis?

PJSalt

oh man...

damn

 

[Village]

This is what happens when Cyborg 009 and Megaman had an affair.

Wouldn't that be like incest? Megaman is just that plus cashern and astroboy. All that tastunoko -esque goodness.

 

[Trojita]

Damn this is some high level trolling, they even named it 9? lol.

The enemies are wearing construction cones on their head instead of construction helmets.

The first Call design is basically Roll. She is even riding a dog/cat transformed into a bike. I'm just going to skip mentioning Beck's similarity to Mega Man.

Must resist $250 tier...

 

[epmode]

I'm kinda worried they might get hit with a cease and desist from Capcom. Game looks waaaay too similar to Megaman. So far at least.

Nah. The industry would be really different if developers had to worry about lawsuits for developing clones. Lawsuits like that are almost never filed and they're successful even less frequently.

 

[Eclectic Jabber Monkey]

My first kickstarter backing incoming... Now which tier to get. The physical game box would be pretty cool. Almost $41000 already, nice!

 

[Luigiv]

Yeah there's no way I don't see them suing.

Whilst this game is a blatant Megaman "clone", being a blatant clone is not grounds for a law suit. The game would actually have to infringe on Capcom's copyright for them to have a case.

 

[Steaks]

Everything about it is Megaman but with a different design.

Theres a metool expy, a sniper joe expy, a roll and eddie expy, everything expy.

It's basically if you made a Mario platformer but changed everything into a slightly different taiwan design of the characters.

[MikeXXIeaf]

So does 9 represent this game as the true successor to MM8?

In any case if that's what he's going for then I support it 100%.

 

[Hours Left]

The theme song is amazing.

 

[Village]

dupe

 

[BronsonLee]

It went up by 10 grand while I watched the video.

Ignore my silly hyperbole

But yeah, they're definitely making their way very quickly...

 

[Squire]

Yes? And it's not like 2D platformers fans are exclusive to Vita, Wii U owners will eat this up as well if it's good. Look at Mighty Switch Force HD, the sequel is already announced to be coming in October for Wii U. Maybe you need to clean up you Vita love a little from those glasses.

Why are you acting like only mentioned Vita when there's like four platforms in my original post? I even mentioned the 3DS.

I think they picked the wrong platforms. I said 360 and Wii U. Not everything is console wars. Chill.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Great_Giana_Sisters

Also, Mega man was pretty much a Astroboy expy.

 

[KillerTravis]

The amazing theme from Manami Matsumae.

 

[VariantX]

I'm kinda worried they might get hit with a cease and desist from Capcom. Game looks waaaay too similar to Megaman. So far at least.

Regardless, I'm in for $60. Quite possibly the most thoroughly interesting kickstarter I've read.

If Capcom can give them a C&D, then Activison ought to be able to do that to half the industry for trying to ape CoD.

 

[Sorral]

I know I was just asking "does" he respond, as in is he responsive on Twitter otherwise.

If so I'll also tweet him when he gets back from his hiatus.

Oh sorry! I was a bit excited and responded fast.

Yeah, he does respond. Maybe not every single thing, but I think he is like Yoshida where he will at least acknowledge your tweet with a reply.

Edit: I did tweet @giocorsi with the link to the kickstarter though. I hope to hear something back.

 

[Whimsical Phil]

Does anyone remember Fighter's History?

 

[Fuzzy]

Or changed them from brothers to sisters...

 

[MisterSamMan]

Bookmarked and will definitely be donating $40 before the end of the Kickstarter because this is such an incredible project.
