I'd be on that so fast. So fast.

Sadly, Shenmue has no chance of pulling in the money required for a real sequel.

I kinda wonder if the guy responsible for Shenmue can just do an original "spiritual successor" to the series rather than continuing it. I mean, Richared Garriott is basically doing his "spiritual successor" to Ultima(which from the looks of it and the fact it uses a LOT of similar themes, is much alike to Mighty No. 9 in that respects), and Mighty No. 9 is an OBVIOUS spiritual successor to Mega Man, Yu Suzuki might have a better chance just doing something like that. Do you think people would fund it?

Backed 60$ +15$ for shipping (why is shipping to Canada so damn high?)
Look awesome really. If we can get a Megaman X game with today technology, it will be awesome.

The idea that 900,000 dollars is somehow too high for a game budget is ridiculous. This isn't being slapped together in a few months by amateurs. I feel like we just had this conversation a few months ago with the Skullgirls crowdfunding campaign.

Pledge now and pull your money if the goal isn't reached in time. You don't get charged until the end of the campaign.

This way, the total goes higher, more people feel confident about backing so more people back, etc.

No6 looks shit but No2 looks boss.

Do they really care?

It seems to me, not a bit. When Capcom releases crap like the iOS version of megaman X and straight up garbage like megaman X over. When there are people in the megaman fanbase that can make better quality megaman games than the ip owner itself and do it consistently, there's no question they really don't care about the franchise at the moment.

2.5 million for a console version? Erm...seems pretty high.

Comcept is small, they are probably having to pay an outside studio to handle porting jobs. Especially if they are trying to get everything else out.

Also remember that only 300k of that would be "for porting" money based on their stretch goals... 2.5mil for a full game + porting to various systems + other bonuses is really not that bad at all.

Hopefully this (and other succesfull projects, like Star Citizen or Starbound) shows to other developers that funding can be really cool. We need more Japanese developers making games without publishers butting in.

This so hard. Look at the number of people involved and remember this is to pay (some) them for over a year of work plus business costs on top of that.

Also it costs a ton to get console licenses for engines and other software, another Kickstarter wanted to do a Wii U version but the license cost something like 40k, add in other consoles and you'll need a fair chunk of money. With publishers they already own the license so they can make it on whatever, when you're independent you're going to have to fork over a fair chunk of cash.

It's great that Nintendo and Sony have been more open to indie development, but the console ecosystem as a whole has a long way to go in regards to small developers, it's still very much publisher territory.

be the first time ever pledging to kickstarter thinking i'll donate 20 or 60.

So can we say that Megaman Aka Rock can finally pass the baton on to Beck?

Cool graphics style but the character is such a blantant Mega Man ripoff... even if he did create him, I would've preferred something original. I don't think he'll get $900K but good luck anyway

He wanted to make Mega Man, though, so he made the closest thing he possibly could without actually calling it Mega Man.

Don't see a problem here.

They'll get to 900k in two days.

This looks fantastic.

The fact that it's 2.5D and not straight up 2D is kind of disappointing, but everything else about this looks stellar. Will definitely buy it once available, but I'm unsure if I'll back it. I might just have to go in for $20. I would love the art book but $250 is definitely too much for me.

Exactly!

Besides, Capcom isn't even making new Mega Man games anymore... which justifies this further!

Hey so the physical copy im getting with my 99$ is for my platform of choice if that goal is reached?
Click to expand...

You don't get a physical copy of the game. You get a physical box in the style and dimensions of the old NES boxes. The game itself will be just a code.

Guys, I backed and think it should be funded, but everyone bugging their eyes out at the picture being posted repeatedly should note the caption on the page:

Note: All images on this page are concept art and not actual in-game screens.
