Wow, this shows how badly people are fiending for a Megaman game.
This would be way too perfect.

How cool would it be of Mega Man has a Beck alt on SSB4? Pretty cool, I think. This is like Earth-2 Rock.
By the way, still early to tell, but things are looking good. http://www.kicktraq.com/projects/mightyno9/mighty-no-9/

Maybe one of the hidden bonuses is "Mega Man licensing"?
Oh man, I didn't even think about that, but yeah this one's prime material for news coverage on a bunch of game sites. I'd imagine things could explode even further once this really gets out there.

Oh god, this kickstarter is fantastic. No new Mega Man from Capcom, no problem. Keiji is the man.
Pretty awesome, but I'm really not feeling the character designs (too close to Mega Man while not good enough).
Also turns out this wasn't the first time Comcept recreated Mega Man characters:
What is this exactly?

Why must stuff be so expensive from Japan? $2,500,000 JUST FOR CONSOLES?! Come on Keiji, just talk with Sony and they'll fund your game in an instant, of course then it'd be a PS4/Vita but I'm cool with that since I'd get me a Vita ver.~
...and lol @ dinner with Inafune, what we're gonna hit up a Hostess Club?
BTW if I back for $20...uh do you get your picture in the game?

It's more of a parody on mobile.
$2.5 million isn't just for consoles, there are lot of other things they prioritized before that.
You mean your name?
Your name will be in there.

I bet money the female character's name is Call.
I'm "calling" it right now.

Should have called it before, because it was confirmed to be Call when they made the announcement.
Funding dat 99+ later today, it's time to show how much we've been waiting for a Mega Man (esque) game ladies and gets, show it with your wallets.
If the game is releasing in 2015 then I really doubt they're still going to bring it out on the PS3/360 instead of the next gen consoles.
Quick, let's tweet to some Sony guy on twitter that they need to make this game happen on the PS4/Vita *rushes to twitter*

Mega Man holds a very special place in my heart. I loved Zelda and Mario as a kid, but after playing Mega Man 3, something awoke inside me. Mega Man became an obsession. I had never felt that way about a game series before. It was the first series I became a super fan of. I am filled with great joy seeing Mighty No. 9. I'll definitely back this.

Didn't.. didn't this just start?

Gonna back this in the morning. I'm not a fan of MegaMan, but Capcom dealt their consumer base a shitty hand, and they deserve this game.
More like $316,520...
$316k currently. thread title hasn't been updating.

Japanese game designers, even very successful ones, aren't exactly known to be paid very well. I doubt he got more money than, say, Brian Fargo (who's a pretty rich guy).

lol Holy shit are you serious?
These guys are so predictable. I didn't even know there was going to be a female character either.
yea, isn't Shiggy's salary kinda modest? I forget what it was that people mentioned.

It hasn't even been a day and it's nearly 100k from being halfway funded.
Aw yeah.
Aw yeah.
No different from Rock and Roll if you ask me!
Call is Roll's counterpart so it makes sense lol
Wow.
As someone who's been with Mega Man for a while, I watched it...and was genuinely excited for what it was. They seem to want to inject as much into the Classic Mega Man formula as possible, though some of the proposed gameplay elements like minor transformations with practical applications, weak spots, ability boosts, this all sounds very crazy but I'm very interested to see how it unfolds.

Yup.
Waitthe main character is named Beck?
This might make more sense as you learn more of the story, but the short version is Becks creator wanted him to have a human name, unlike his peers. Exactly why that is has to do with aspects we might share more on in the future, and yes, probably also the fact that the developers who came up with his handle dont have all the same associations native English speakers do with certain names. But! Wasnt that always the case with these games, especially the classics of yesteryear? Does changing that make it better? As far as our partner 8-4 is concerned (who localize games for a living), the name is fun and charminga memorable moniker, unique in the gaming world, that quickly just BECOMES this characters name, the more you see and learn about him. Were confident the same will happen for anyone who was concerned enough to click on this question, too
Maybe it was in this thread, or maybe it was on my twitter timeline, but it needs to be said that not everybody is willing to work for slave wages. Mighty No 9 has a pretty big team behind it, and they're getting paid for their talent. It seems like a lot of indie kickstarters either undervalue their work, or the developers know exactly how much people are willing to pay for it to succeed.
