Literally all I care about right now. Need this on consoles
I would wager that most Mega Man games have had budgets similar to what Might No. 9 is now getting.
If you're a fan of platformers, I seriously recommend Mega Man. Maybe the classic series... start off with 2!

Seeing this speedrun from Megaman 2 reminds me of good platformers,great music,great powers. Yeah megaman i played the most so far i know back in the day.
Nintendo is considerably more salty about this stuff than most.

I'm thinking of increasing my $120 pledge to $250. I need that autograph, plus hardcover art book/strategy guide...
To make up for it, I'm considering cancelling my $150 pledge for Project Phoenix. I really can't get a good grasp/feel for what the game is, and their initial goal of only $100,000 seems a bit low. I know it's reached nearly $700,000 now, but when they can't even unveil all of the members of the team [or even a video of the game in motion], I'm very skeptical to give them my money. The whole JRPG/Western Squad-Based RTS mention doesn't help things.

Wouldn't it be technically easier to develop for the PS4/Vita then PS3?

No fucking shit.
Game is coming in 2015, you'd have to think PS4/Bone will be hitting their stride by then. PS360 only would be dumb, bringing that shit to next gen makes sense.
I think you should do it.

Both don't have the install base the PS3 has.

That's what I thought as well...
The PS4 isn't out yet and publishing details are I think somewhat sketchy for most developers right now. Same deal for Xbone. So they can't promise next-gen versions of the game right now, and are using PS3 and 360 versions as minimum viable goals. I'm sure as soon as the Sony/MS guys contact the Mighty no. 9 team those stretchgoals will be correspondingly upgraded to PS4 and Xbone or new ones will be created if they can make the numbers work. As a developer, I'm pretty sure this is more a matter of publishing costs/other details that are unknown atm even to Inafune than of technical effort. We don't even know if Inti Creates has access to devkits, it's only logical they want to play it safe for now.
Sure, but 100k who clicked on a Yes button is less important than 20k giving money out. And its 20k in a day. Not a month. I would be surprised if this get less than 2.5 million. And this is without having a game, demo or anything. The only thing the kickstarter said is "It will be a Megaman clone" and people jumped on it. This and Shovel Knight pretty much prove there is a demand for games like this.

Just got on and it went up to $1,050,000.

I think you underestimate how many people will still be playing their PS3s and 360s then. Most people don't jump into a new console generation for years. It may not make financial sense at all.
I've never been a fan of side-scrolling action games, but this is still awesome to see. Inafune seems to be super jazzed about this whole thing. That said, the main character looks a little too Mega-Manish...from a purely legal perspective. Almost like he's from a Gameloft Mega-Man clone or something.
How is that ironic? The game is cut off from the name brand and the company, just like you said he wanted. This game may get some hype as it has devs proven in the genre the game is being made in but the game will have to stand on its own feet to sell. It won't be the brand nor the company the sells this game but the demand for a game of its type.
That was the single nudge I needed to make my decision.
Consider it done [well, in an hour or so when I'm able]!
Legally all something has to be is 20% different in order to be free from lawsuit.
All platforms makes the most sense.
They should honestly forego Mac and Linux (and I own a Mac) and go PS4/Xbone instead.

I am a proud backer, but as the previous guy said, this is scheduled for a 2015 release... and he's trying to push for 360/ps3 releases?

Pretty sure you would actually want Adam Boyes on this.
Why you gotta bone Mac/Linux guys like that?

Just backed 60 Dollars. If I wasn't so strapped for cash, I'd probably go for 120. Might change my mind later though.
Wooooo!
Wooooo!

We should hit first stretch goal tomorrow, and hopefully we'll continue hitting them once a day. There is no doubt it's going to hit most and probably all of it's goals. Happy place.

First I pledged 20, then I was like woah you get a sound track for 40.. screw it I'll help the cause. Now I'm looking at that beta access for 99. I have a feeling that if I keep going I'll end up having dinner with Inafune
you know you want to have dinner with him ;P
It would be funny if at the end of the dinner Inafune disappears when the cheque comes. :lolFirst I pledged 20, then I was like woah you get a sound track for 40.. screw it I'll help the cause.

Like a slow fade vanish, the check left sitting on his chair.
Such a small market. If the "money has to be right" they should bring it to all consoles first then port to less-gamer-centric computer OSs.

bring that shit to PS4 and Vita !!
The $99 stretchgoal sounds so good. A shirt, exclusive content and beta access. It might be time for me to suggest a raise to my boss.
If I upgrade from my $20 it definitely will be to that. I'll wait to see the shirt design.
Oh, I kept thinking it'd be a Might No. shirt (just not 1-9), but it turns out it will be something else.

Damn these shirts are amazing
Damn those are nice shirts.
Any chance we can get Nintendo to add #9 to Smash Brothers as a Megaman alt.
