Hm
Whoa. That looks awesome.
O_O
I like it.
It's a concept shot, but if it happens daaamn this will be a nice game.
Well he also didn't mention Xbone so I have my suspicions.
Yeah there's no way I don't see them suing.
The kickstarter says they're just doing 3 30-minute episodes for this game (if they make it to 2 million).

I'll take anything Mega Man related right now so I don't see the graphics being a problem. Heck, 360 level is a still big step for Mega Man considering he doesn't even have a proper last gen game.

It went up by 10 grand while I watched the video.
don't be silly
I'll be honest, that part really got me.
You should put this in the OP, that'll get people to donate.

This thing is going to make so much bank.
It's like a crowd-funded FUCK YOU to Capcom.

I'm really glad that people are so hyped about Mighty No. 9. Listening to the reaction from the folks at the panel was amazing. The response on the Kickstarter page is blowing my mind.
As for the budget/timeframe, I know the dev team spent a lot of time going over things and making all sorts of adjustments in order to come up with realistic expectations for both. The last thing they want to do is end up running out of money before the game is finished or not being able to meet their expected launch date.

And yes, for those who listen to Player One Podcast, this is indeed the project that I'm working on with 8-4.
I know I was just asking "does" he respond, as in is he responsive on Twitter otherwise.
If so I'll also tweet him when he gets back from his hiatus.

Yes? And it's not like 2D platformers fans are exclusive to Vita, Wii U owners will eat this up as well if it's good. Look at Mighty Switch Force HD, the sequel is already announced to be coming in October for Wii U. Maybe you need to clean up you Vita love a little from those glasses.

Yea I dont get it. Is xb1 not viable for indies?
I'm definitely going to pledge my support for the $60 physical copy later this week. This will be the first game Kickstarter I support.
My only question now is whether the English/Japanese box will have different artwork. I already know I'll get the manual in English since I can't read Japanese, but if the Japanese box-art is different [and superior, which is often the case] I might opt for that instead. Thankfully, I have some time to decide.

wouldnt be hillarious if capcom sues?
Everything about it is Megaman but with a different design.
Theres a metool expy, a sniper joe expy, a roll and eddie expy, everything expy.
It's basically if you made a Mario platformer but changed everything into a slightly different taiwan design of the characters.

Wouldn't that be like incest? Megaman is just that plus cashern and astroboy. All that tastunoko -esque goodness.

Damn this is some high level trolling, they even named it 9? lol.
The enemies are wearing construction cones on their head instead of construction helmets.
The first Call design is basically Roll. She is even riding a dog/cat transformed into a bike. I'm just going to skip mentioning Beck's similarity to Mega Man.
Must resist $250 tier...

Nah. The industry would be really different if developers had to worry about lawsuits for developing clones. Lawsuits like that are almost never filed and they're successful even less frequently.

My first kickstarter backing incoming... Now which tier to get. The physical game box would be pretty cool. Almost $41000 already, nice!
Whilst this game is a blatant Megaman "clone", being a blatant clone is not grounds for a law suit. The game would actually have to infringe on Capcom's copyright for them to have a case.

So does 9 represent this game as the true successor to MM8?
In any case if that's what he's going for then I support it 100%.

The theme song is amazing.

Ignore my silly hyperbole
But yeah, they're definitely making their way very quickly...
Why are you acting like only mentioned Vita when there's like four platforms in my original post? I even mentioned the 3DS.
I think they picked the wrong platforms. I said 360 and Wii U. Not everything is console wars. Chill.

Also, Mega man was pretty much a Astroboy expy.

The amazing theme from Manami Matsumae.
If Capcom can give them a C&D, then Activison ought to be able to do that to half the industry for trying to ape CoD.
Oh sorry! I was a bit excited and responded fast.
Yeah, he does respond. Maybe not every single thing, but I think he is like Yoshida where he will at least acknowledge your tweet with a reply.
Edit: I did tweet @giocorsi with the link to the kickstarter though. I hope to hear something back.

Does anyone remember Fighter's History?
Or changed them from brothers to sisters...

Bookmarked and will definitely be donating $40 before the end of the Kickstarter because this is such an incredible project.
