Mighty No.9 Kickstarter (PS4/XB1 & Vita/3DS are GO!) (Inafune/IC, $4M FUNDED)
- Thread starter Busaiku
- Start date
I hope so too, that could be another great thing to come of this. But a part of me feels like they're just gonna abandon Mega Man entirely out of spite, since the executives at Capcom clearly had it out for Inafune. Even when he was giving in to their western dev focused demands.
Companies like Capcom and Sega like to maintain the image of an IP or character they're actively using and that same quote could be used to argue that Capcom has no real intention of touching the series anytime soon. Again, licensing him out really has nothing to do with like or hate toward anything.
yeah those lost 50k sales will really make them look like idiots
I doubt they feel anything. 2,5 million is spare change to them when you consider that they sold 4+ millions of RE6 at 60$ each.

You make games?

50k * $20 = 1 million. 2.5 million for game stretch goals would be over 100k... before the game even actually goes on sale.
I think people sometimes forget that kickstarter is the BEGINNING of sales, not the end.

So it looks like him being able to transform into virtually anything is a real focus.
900k = 45,000 preorders.
Your math is just as off as mine. Your math doesn't even account for higher tiers. Like tke 10k raised off dinner with inafune.

there's a whole effort on twitter/etc every 3rd of the month to push Sega to give Yu the Shenmue license; isn't going down without that
yeah man games should be free
The game can still sell outside of Kickstarter. Plus it's not like their bigger releases like lost planet 3 and remember me are doing anything higher.

what do the later sales have to do with the 2.5 million number being currently discussed. Capcom would look like idiots based off un-accounted for but predicted sales?

I pledged $60 since $50 is usually my "sweet spot" when it comes to backing stuff, but I kinda want to put in a little more. Maybe in a week, or two, I'll see what happens.
O_O
I like it.
That is super super pretty.

HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP
I thought this was a prank or something at first. Then I watched the video, and HOLY CRAP.
I'm in for $60. Please please PLEASE let this get funded. I want this so badly.
Edit: Nevermind, had to go for the $99 tier.
GOOD LUCK INAFUNE!!!

Looking on their FAQ, they basically say that the expense of the game will be higher, but Comcept/their partners are providing some of the budget cost, and depending on how much money they can raise from Kickstarter, they will provide more.
Seems pretty legit to me. Besides... "you make games?" etc.

God I wish I had the $500 to spare! If only I had known I wouldnt have bought my Wii U earlier this year!
Wikipedia says you're half correct.
Too bad that's not how the game will actually look because it's using 3D models like Street Fighter 4 did. Blech. I'd of probably suffered an Inafune game if the game actually looked like that shot.
you mean Penny-Arcade backers are crazy

Apparently what I'm trying to say is not coming across clearly. I'm not talking about Capcom's plans or opinions on the near/long term future of Megaman titles. What I am saying is the idea that Capcom is on a quest to shut down Megaman at every turn is overreaction from the community.
Do I trust Inafune or do I trust BramVD, poster at NeoGAF.com. Hmmmm. This is a tough one.

Quarter of a million dollars in about 4 hours.... Not bad at all.

Some good driving force behind this game and it may be the first Kickstarter I really want to get involved in.
Also, I love how blatantly inspired the characters are, including the Mega Man Legends 3 girl.

Good shit. I'm at $99, but I wouldn't be surprised if I go up to $250 by the end of this...
So keeping in mind that they have to pay each of their experienced staff members (totalling at least eleven people) a decent wage, what do you think would be an acceptable budget for a 3D-rendered sidescroller like this one?
With $250,000 earned on the first day alone, I'll be shocked if it doesn't.

I've backed it and can't wait, love that it's coming to PC.
One thing though. I'm all for lighting a fire under Capcom's ass for bonehead decisions but please be aware of where you're slinging the vitriol. Capcom community manager Brett Elston is one of the biggest Mega Man fans in the industry and KNOWS of the unjust shit that has happened to the franchise and character. No need to smear this in his face because, as evidenced by his previous work before joining Capcom, he is with you guys. It's just that a community manager doesn't get to say if a game gets made or cancelled, and the fans attacking the wrong Capcom guys on places like Twitter just come of as ignorant children.
There are boneheads at Capcom who need a reality check from Mighty No. 9 and I hope this wakes those complacent assholes up. But here's a hint: they probably aren't on Twitter or any social media and community forums. Just speak with your dollar and make this Kickstarter huge.

Capcom Japan said it too? I remember Euro saying this
Never forget

I'm pretty sure most people saying Capcom's gonna sue or try to shut this down are joking. I'm just saying I don't think Mega Man being in SSB really changes anything from the fans point of view about Capcom and the IP.
If he went to anybody else in Japan this would be an iOS game.

Why is it always WiiU with Kickstarters recently? Is there zero barrier of entry to get your game on there? Is WiiU the new XBLIG?
