Funny you thought that way, considering this:
Damn this guy is salty. He knows this game will sell more copies than Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2 combined.

Except he wasn't being negative.
And he made the post a year ago.

he's not saying Inafune was NEVER a game's creator, just that he is now a businessman
This is a year old tweet as well.
Seriously, what was the last current gen title Inafune directed?

Kamiya is not exactly wrong about Inafune.
Of course poor Platinum could probably use some businessmen.
Of course poor Platinum could probably use some businessmen.
You guys need to re-read the question and the answer.
Note: No where does it say his recent work, the guy is obviously talking about Inafune's body of work.
Yep, the person who created Mega Man, one of the most iconic characters in gaming, is not a creator. Right.
I don't have a problem if you don't like the guy's work but don't be a douchebag.
Come at me Kamiya defense force.
Tides of Numernera got $1.4 million in its 1st day, Ouya $3.6 million in 2 days.
Technically he's never been credited as a "director", at least according to his Wikipedia page. He has however been credited as "producer" (the same title he held on the MM, RE, and Oni games) with Dead Rising and he was credited as "designer" on Soul Sacrifice.

This is what you said to that tweet.
What you said makes no sense because this kickstarter didn't start a year ago, so he wouldn't be salty about sales since this project didn't exist yet.
Also, I wouldn't call myself a defenseforce for the guy, as I prefer Inafune. Also, truth time, Wonderful 101 will be the first Platinum game I played. Most of their stuff never interested me.
Also, calm down and stop being silly.

I thought Infaune didn't create Mega Man, just helped escalate it to a relevant IP?
Yeah, he was the character designer. The real creator, the "father" of Mega Man is Akira Kitamura, a creative director who only worked with Capcom during the 80's. Kitamura only worked on the first three Mega Man before handing the helm over to Inafune.
Mr. Kitamura no longer works in the industry.
Keep dreaming. This is a small team that doesn't have the manpower to make super detailed 2D sprites. It's just too time consuming.
I mean yeah it would be awesome, but it's not going to happen.
If it's on the American Kickstarter page, Paypal is not an option unless the creator makes an external backer site with Paypal support.

High definition sprite work with good animation is a lot more expensive to create than 3D models and animation. However I am sure this game is 3D.

That's because he's the opposite of exactly wrong. He's exactly right. lol
They have some. Every game has them.
He's merely commenting that Inafune's role is usually that of producer. Not a creative one.
But people often think of him as such as he's usually the figure head for the games he produces.(which seems to be the case here for Mighty no.9 as well.)
To put it in perspective, giving him credit for creating series like Dead Rising would be like giving Mikami credit for DMC and Resident Evil 2. Or giving Inaba directorial credit for Viewtiful Joe and Bayonetta.

Wouldn't it takes an army of animators and about 10x as much to do that though? I think the most sensible thing to do is develop a 3d engine that looks like hand drawn movement in a 2d plane.
Also, inafune is a business man, at least for the past decade or so. He had a very high up position at capcom. But I also think this project is his way to go back to the creative side he had back during his younger years. I mean, if dead rising 1 was Inafunes last brain child creatively, that was almost 8 years ago.

That tweet is almost a year old...you do realize that, right?

Does this thread have to become about things of that nature?
It seems odd to have it take this turn into arguing over a twitter post.
Both sides seem foolish.

Why you gotta kill my dreams? ;-;
Honestly though, I'm really happy for all you Mega Man fans out there. There's finally some justice for you guys and hopefully this game gets fully funded.
I just hope sometime in the future, Grant Kirkhope can get his gang together and give us that Banjo spiritual successor.
I mean you Mega Man fans have suffered a couple years, but the sting Microsoft left on Rare is continuous
.
One day old friends, one day.

Inafune didn't create Megaman (and you could have know it if you had bother reading the previous pages), plus Kamiya tweeted that during the period where Inafune was just trashing japanese developpers as a whole, moreover he is completely right and there's nothing wrong with Inafune being a businessman.
Would be nice if we stop talking about it now.

Right. Every producer has some input.
but I mean people don't bring up Mikami when talking about DMC and Viewtiful Joe. They just praise Kamiya, they guy directly in charge of shaping and creating the game.
People seem to give Inafune the same amount of credit for his role as producer while ignoring the actual directors of those games because they aren't as famous. So when someone asked Kamiya if he liked "Inafune's works", he pointed out that Inafune isn't really a director. "Inafune's works" are games other people directed.

Hopefully that PewDiePie guy and other famous youtubers make a video about this. That should increase the number of backers by a significant margin.

That's a good point. But is still stretching to say that didn't have creative input. Even in films is debated the notion of 'authorship' when many things are outside of most directors hands.
We should clarify, but don't completely dissmis.
And that's fair, althought some will debate the semantics (they are still important works for the resumé) but is kind difficult when he admitted that he say it 'bussines' man in a positive way.
Inafune was the game and concept designer on Soul Sacrifice, which was just released this year.
Bayo 2 still hurts it seems...
I kind of don't like the design of Mighty...
Hope game ends up looking like the pics shown
Agreed.
The most I would want is something that can do similar with what Arc is doing for Xrd, as suggested earlier. It could be beautiful, if done right. And certainly would be feasible with even a relatively small team like Inti, even if they do want to make a game that could have as much complex morphing and specific animations as this game poses to have.
Funny you thought that way, considering this:
Shots have been fired
EDIT: Except they haven't been
And Bugs vs Tanks, which was also just released this year.

It's doing fine, but it's nowhere near to set any record so far.
Torment: Tides of Numera reached a similar goal (900k) in less than 8 hours since the Kickstarter page was up and there are few other games that did well, passing 1 million in the first day.
I saw this yesterday, in one of Shovel Knight's updates. They also explicitly mentioned mighty no. 9 and linked to the page, as they seem to support the project.looks like yesterday, Keiji Inafune stopped over to see the Yacht Club Games team
I think Inafune is aware of Shovel Knight and appears to like it, as the No 9 ks page mentions Yacht club and S Knight under Matsumae's profile.

I want to see AlphaOmegaSin's take on this. He seemed uber pissed regarding Capcom and the whole Breath of Fire 6 thing.
