yeah, i cant throw myself in with sonic fans, but after colors, generations & the way lost world is shaping up, its hard not to get excited...and something like this would be awesome
...why? you think he doesnt have it anymore, or want something else from Prope?
Legal action would bleed out the team though. That's the concern (or it should be): Not that Capcom would win, but that they would start the fight at all.
I can't imagine they don't have a plan for that, though.
Can I download it through my Vita via the PSN? I don't have a PS3.
Beck and Call. I dig it

Looks like it; it's in Japanese despite being on the US store, but it's tagged for being available on the Vita. If you have a Euro account, I'm not sure what your options are.

Couldn't hold it much longer. I backed it just now.
While that might be a common strategy in the west, it's simply not the way it's done in Japan in my experience, especially when fairly substantial caselaw there is stacked STRONGLY against the original publisher in cases like this.
Another anecdote was when Sony ripped off Gunstar Heroes with Gunner's Heaven. Maegawa was seething about the blatant ripoff and wanted to sue, but in the end it was decided the case would be tough to win and he didn't do it.
yeah there's that Rockman Complete Works series on PSN which are just ports of MM1-6 with remixed soundtracks (for at least the last 3 games) and some other features
they're all in japanese but that shouldn't be a problem at all
you can also get the all 6 NES Mega Man games on the 3DS while the Wii U has the first 4 of them.

No, that will not be a thing.
Most likely Next gen/PSV support will be one of them. As for the other? Co-op or at least a second character to play is surely the other. Being able to play as Beck and/or Call. Maybe even a third character that plays the Proto/zero fill-in role.

Cool reaction vid from Robman and Happy Console Gamer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lfykgGNPTU
I really like HCG's channel and I know Robman is nuts for Mega Man, so they were some of the first people I tweeted about it when the KS went live on twitchtv.

absolutely. i said yesterday that the fact that inti is involved is the biggest reason i am enthusiastically backing this. rockman zero 1-4 are seriously like, the best goddamn 2D combat sandbox games of all time. this was why i was so upset that they decided to regress to pre-rock3 design with 9 and 10. i don't care about nostalgia, i want more chain and recoil rods to play with!
also i bumped my pledge up to $140. that artbook sounds nice, i just hope it's meaty enough to make it worthwhile!

So I wanted to be a part of that first $900K, so I've dropped $60 on Mighty No.9.
It is my first KS. There have been others I was excited about, but this had that little something extra for me.
There are some cool extras in those Complete Works editions too. Theyre all best played on the PSP though. MM2 is ok on the Vita because the buster is pretty powerful, but the levels of rapid fire needed for MM3 means some real hand-crampage with the Vitas buttons for pure play (there's a rapid-fire option if pure play doesn't matter to you). Things became a little more do-able with MM4 thanks to the charge-shot.

Yeah, seems like they were a big help with the initial planning.
Shit just got all types of real.

Naka's importance to Sonic shouldn't be understated, but Hirokazu Yasuhara is the heart and soul of the classic gameplay. If you want to get a true revival out of any of the series' three fathers, look to him, not Naka or Oshima.

That would be the most random thing ever. I don't think there were any Mega Man games on DC.
Now it needs to happen.

In the first update they ask if we want a podcast, hell yes!, a podcast with the 8-4 guys and Ben Judd, the Bionic Commando podcast is one of my all time favourite podcast, it was funny and very informative.
I'm with you on the wanting more recoil and chain rods. People say that the Mega Man series stagnated, but the Zero and ZX games did so many new things. I can appreciate the simpicity of the early NES Mega Man titles, but I want more than that. I really hope that Mighty No. 9 will have some of that creativity and slick gameplay from the later Zero and ZX games.
The fact that Beck fully transforms when he uses boss weapons gives me hope that they will be building on ZX's mechanics.

Pretty excited about this. Backed at 60 may go up to 120 for the art book/ guide later.
Anyone find it weird that if the 1.2 mil goal isn't made (It will be at this rate but this is hypothetical) that there would be two missing Number slots from the character order? If 6 bosses was the original plan, why not just make Beck Number 7 and make 8 and 9 the stretch goal levels?

They knew it would reach that and every goal easily, this is going beyond 2.5 million.

In for $20. I had to back this after I'd sworn a moratorium from a ton of backings in 2012.
To be fair this wouldn't be doing much to convince them. It's great that a developer like this can go straight to the fans to make a game like this, but lets not get ahead of ourselves. Capcom aren't looking at 12k backers and kicking themselves.

How is this not past the goal yet.
How.
How.
Its slowed down considerably compared to other big name Kickstarters, but it's still tracking healthy all things considered.
It IS a high goal for this kind of game considering the other Kickstarters there've been. Still makes me worry a little over the stretch goals unless PS4 and/or XB1 versions are planned but unannounced on account of needing to go through approval with an actual game first.
He was also part of Naughty Dog for both Uncharted 1 and 2, I think also the Jak games.
Shrug. Most of these massive companies have gotten too big to make interesting games. I wouldn't even want to see a Capcom developed Mega Man game aimed at the mass market.

Except for 3.3, all of the KSes that got multi-millions in a day or two tended to have more than proof-of-concept
