I hope one of the question mark stretch goals is more levels. Personally, I like more levels more then anything since it expands the game's length.

I'm not familiar with Kickstarter, is it possible for this to dramatically slow down? Because I'm not seeing how this won't reach 2.5 soon.

Yes, that's what always happens to big projects.

 

[iavi]

Think forward, Comcept. Forget the PS3. Give us dat PS4/Vita version

Yeah, there's always a lull during the middle of the campaign, then another giant push at the very end.

 

[Frodo]

CAPCPOM AM CRY LOUDER AND LOUDER.

That money waiting on the table.

It would be idiotic to ignore the install bases of the current gen consoles, which will still have plenty of life for the next few years. That said, someone ping Adam Boyes & crew to start talking to Comcept.

it usually slows down after several days and then picks up before it ends.

I honestly think one of those surprise stretch goals is voice acting.

I think it should be on everything, but start from the top then work their way down.

Damn these shirts are amazing I want one

Oh....you will be heard. PS4/Vita all but confirmed.

 

[Threi]

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS! MILLIONS OF DOLLARS! MILLIONS OF DOLLARS!

 

[Horseress]

God, already one million?! How awesome is that?! And about the consoles stretch goal...

Dem feels

Rip megaman

 

[Mr. Smiley]

WHY YOU GOTTA MAKE ME FEEL?

;_;

 

[Frodo]

Right in them feels... :'(

 

[Parallax]

i hope the higher ups at capcom are sweating at that million mark.

 

[Skilletor]

Actually made me sad. Fuck.

 

[Riddler]

Ugh.....a comic strip shouldn't give me shivers & goosebumps.

Wow that is bad. Embarrassing.

Deep mega man nostigla feelings I guess.

Somewhere in there they said they would be looking for fan feedback regarding length vs. replayability.

I personally enjoy a game that doesn't overstay its welcome yet encourages you to play through again.

 

[Silky]

the great emerald's power allows me to feel

 

[clem84]

1 miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillion dollar.

 

[pariah164]

I... I don't even like Megaman and this made me smile/get teary.

WRY.

 

[Fahdi]

Wow that is bad. Embarrassing.

Only you.

 

[Oni Link 666]

This is far from over. Thos 100k strong for MML3 are all going to back this too, right? Even if they don't, I think we'll definitely reach the 2.5 million console stretch goal.

 

[Fireblend]

Wow that is bad. Embarrassing.

Thanks god I'm not the only one that feels like cringing whenever that comic is posted.

 

[antibolo]

Sega fans and really all fans do the same thing. They get attached to branding, names, art, and basically everything that isn't the people who create games.

Yeah that's all too true, and sad.

Case in point: Lost Odyssey flopped, while Final Fantasy XIII sold millions.

Fans are incredibly dumb.

 

[Diggeh]

@MightyNo9 it's a shame Capcpom didn't want to get more involved :-( if we saw there was any chance of a new Mega Man game people might change minds

 

[bon]

Nice, already past $1 million. Console versions looking likely.

 

[Boogiepop]

Whoa, somebody actually went for the dinner with Inafune. Geez, that's crazy. I'm also a little scared that a part of me totally wants to donate enough to get a plush. Is this what it feels like to find a kickstarter you're actually super interested in? Oh man.

Also, feeling like we're probably at least going to get to the new game+ stretch goal, but here's hoping it makes it all the way to the console version. Why must the stretch goal I want most be so far away?

 

[Himself]

Reminds of people who watch movies because of the actors starring in it and have no idea about who the director is.

 

[Dark Schala]

It's amazing how this met its mark in such a short time.

Soooo happy.

 

[GekigangerV]

Glad to see this hit One-Million Dollars. Although I would be content with the 1.2 million "complete game" I still hope they reach the 2.5 million goal though as I am sure many people would like to play this on a console, hell I would probably make sure I get the PSN version if given the choice.

That is interesting to hear. Depending on what they intend to do for New Game +, it would be cool to see something like remixed levels. Maybe even a playable Call? But I guess it is way too early to speculate about that kind of stuff.

 

[Yes Boss!]

Well, all due respect to the PC Folks but I'm pretty sure 90% of folks wanna play this on a proper console or handheld. I'm sure it will hit the console goals though.

Lost Odyssey launched on the wrong console. I bought the 360 for it and I like it more than FF13, but it would've undoubtly sold better on the PS3, especially in Japan.
FF13 was the long hyped sequel and also the first HD version of the most popular JRPG series ever.
That's not even a fair comparison to make, especially not one to deduce how stupid a fanbase is.

 

[Sectorseven]

With regards to the console ports, at this point is it possible for Sony or MS to step in and buy exclusivity?

Just out of curiosity.

Heck, could Capcom even come in and buy his new company? I know it would be unethical, but legally is there anything stopping him from selling all this pent up demand to the highest bidder?

Legally, no, but there is no reason for him to do that.

Well, no, but it'd be a huge fuck you to the fans, specially after so much talk about remaining true to the vision and this whole project being about Inafune's concept of dev-gamers collaboration. I'm pretty sure the project would have to be cancelled because it would break KS's ToS, which makes project owners obligated to fulfill their promises to backers. They can't guarantee that if there's a huge corporation suddenly involved in the decision-making process.

 

[Malajax]

I'm excited for this game, and I'm happy to back it, but people need to knock it off with shitting on Capcom and perpetuating this "oh, they're so bad to Mega Man fans" nonsense.

There are as many good Mega Man games as there are good games in any other series in gaming. The fact that the fan base is insatiable doesn't mean Capcom is doing something wrong.

How many of these damn things do you need to be happy? Some of you really act like nothing short of one Mega Man game every year or two for the rest of your life would satisfy you.

Let me be the one to say I'm really grateful for everything the company has done with the series, I'm still not over how cool it is that Mega Man 9 and 10 exist, and I think it's sad that so many people have this "what have you done for me lately?" perspective on everything.

Imagine in an alternate world, Nintendo just announced Mario Galaxy. Everything that has been shown looks amazing and Nintendo fans are hype. Suddenly, Mario Galaxy is cancelled and the upcoming Mario Kart game is cancelled. All upcoming Mario games have been put on hold because for some reason, Nintendo feels like there isn't much of an audience anymore.

This is what happened with Megaman. I don't think anyone wanted the series to become annualized, but to pull the rug out of a loyal fan base with nothing to cite other than "reasons" is pretty unfair to those fans. Mighty No 9 shows that there clearly is an audience for Megaman, but Capcom chooses to sit and do nothing with it. Capcom is doing something wrong here.

[Celine]

I wouldn't doubt it.

I see this as the Japanese dev equivalent to Double Fine Adventure. This thing is going to do well.

I'm not a big Mega Man fan but the precedent this project can set is big for aficionados of japanese "retro" games.

 

[DigitalDevilSummoner]

So, it is happening.

Hoping for a PS4 version but PS3 is good.

 

[Bedlam]

Hell yes! Let's make this happen.

I will gladly play it on PC if that's the only way but the PS3/4 would be my platform of choice (either will do).

 

[Gintoki313]

Megaman Volnutt always was my favorite Megaman.

Well that's nice to know. They really are going all out with letting the fans get involved with the game so that's pretty cool.

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

Game looks great, the goal has been met and i will gladly purchase the game when it is released.


Maybe they will release it on next gen consoles.

 

[Bronetta]

One million troops.

I'm hoping that 3DS version happens
