Mighty No.9 Kickstarter (PS4/XB1 & Vita/3DS are GO!) (Inafune/IC, $4M FUNDED)
- Thread starter Busaiku
- Start date
According to the Shovel Knight devs this is a rather painful and expensive process and would require a large sum of money, so the amount of money that would need to be added on would be enormous.
really pushing for a Vita/PS4 version as well.
if you guys want, please tweet #MightyNo9VitaPS4
DONE!
Also .. MightyNo9 "favorited" this tweet despite me saying gentleman instead of gentlemen

Just a thought: I think it would be really awesome if the 3DS version was sprite-based.
I would be more than happy if it's at least a limited disc release for backers.

Definitely up for this on Wii U. When it gets above 2 Mill I'll pledge.
Because of larger install base and because its a 2d platformer that these platforms are plenty powerfull enough to run.

Yup. I'd be all over a PS4 version.
Cross-post from the Vita Thread
VitaGAF, can we PLEASE get this game on the Vita?
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mightyno9/mighty-no-9
Their twitter account mentioned that if there is enough interest for Vita/PS4, they would consider a stretch goal
https://twitter.com/MightyNo9/status/374295967782039553
I just tweeted them with a #MightNo9VitaPS4 hashtag!
please get it on

EDIT: I tweeted @yosp, @giocorsi and @shahidkamal
but I'm sure more can be done

There's been a massive slowdown since it hit $1.2 million, kinda like I expected. This is pretty normal though. Should speed up a bit when more people get up in the US, but I think the honeymoon period is definitely over. It shouldn't take too long to hit the $1.35 million stretch, but after that those unfamiliar with how Kickstarters go should be prepared for it to get a lot less exciting to follow. It's going to be more of an endurance run as it slows massively, before it gets more exciting in the last couple of days.

Because that is what kickstarters do. It's standard behaviour.
Well now I don't have to post this. But yeah, the third or in some cases fourth day of any successful Kickstarter usually see's a major drop off in funding. I guess that's about the time when the fan fare for a project dies down. But this is usually balanced out with the last 3-4 days,which usually see a huge spike, resulting in daily pledge numbers that rival the first three days.
Even if pledges slow down to a crawl, there's always a good chance that the final days will push things over that 2.5mil goal line. It's what's generally refereed too as (by me at least) the 11th hour push
Actually, a few more charts:

Will only fund if there is a 3ds version . Just feels right on a Nintendo portable.
I would guess we'll reach somewhere between 1.3mil and 1.4mil today. Can' wait to see the next stretch goal reached, and hopefully the mysterious nature of the next one will bring some more pledges in. Still, by tomorrow I wouldn't expect the total to move by more than 50k or so, and stay there for a while.
Then don't fund. There won't be one associated with this project. The tech scope is beyond the 3DS, and if there is any intention to make a separate version it would have to be budgeted differently and either paid for by another source or funded by a separate Kickstarter.

Wonder why people are so adamant about telling us they won't donate. KS ain't a store
I kind of don't get it. You won't get it if it's not on other systems? I'm sure you have more than just handhelds! (Not saying handheld gaming is bad or anything since it's too my preference)
To each their own I guess.

Have not read much about it , I was thinking that it will be at most be around X8 level of "tech scope" , oh well.
Sorry
Edited:
I feel the need to apologize again. Feels bad, no idea why i just posted that without elaborating why or reading more. i just scrolled down and saw the picture and heard the music too. I hate people who do this too :/ Sorry again.
I am getting the game once it get cheaper on the other platforms . Most likely Vita if there is one on that .
Off topic, but i owns all last gen platforms so no bias here

There is. It's called Wii U Gamepad.
This could be doable for PC, but console manufacturers have minimum printing thresholds. And remember, this is a worldwide project—so you have to split the number of backers across multiple regions, and remember the thresholds differ by region. They'd probably have no problem in Japan, and maybe they could meet SCEA's minimum (when Project Diva gets a retail release, you know it's gotta be low) ...but I have no idea what NOA's minimum is and Microsoft US's is rumored to be 50k. That's not even getting into worldwide fulfillment costs.
...Even if it was feasible just for PC, console warriorz would get the wrong idea and kick up a fuss. Best not to even invite that illusion of "unfairness", really.

Really hope they reach $2.5 Million. I want this on the Wii U with off-TV play.

I've literally watched this video like 15 times now. I love the music and all the Mega Man references. I want an mp3 of that song.
I just took a look at the source of the flash player for the song they have in the kickstarter's description and look what I found!

Regardless of quantity, they said it was incredibly expensive.
I'm just quoting what they said.
Double Fine gets a pass on this one - the Kickstarter wasn't officially to fund a game; it was a Kickstarter to fund a documentary series about the process of making a game, with a game being a byproduct of that that was also to be given out as one of the rewards.
A loophole, perhaps, but not an insignificant one. They couldn't have a prototype because that was something that needed to be documented!
Let's talk genuinely important stuff, which Call are you voting for? The one of the left with the ponytail is clearly the superior choice:
Pink-haired one is the only option, obviously. Blonde one looks waay too much like Roll, down to the clothing style/colors. Plus she's the one that has more playable character potential, I think.

No.9 looks close enough to Megaman, may as well make Call look similar to Roll (long haied version).Let's talk genuinely important stuff, which Call are you voting for? The one of the left with the ponytail is clearly the superior choice:
I really want to view this as a Megaman spin off since Capcom is determined to let MM die and go away, so the closer the characters look to MM the better. I can also say this and accept it without anger because it's from the guy who helped birth MM.

I like the one with the pink hair. The one with the blonde-ish hair is too much of a Roll knock-off.
lookit dat portable
better than nothing lol
I'm currently leaning towards the pink-haired Call. Mainly because I feel like she ought to have an elder sister that hates pumpkins. Dunno why, but I just do.
I'll wait fore more Call sketches.

They said on twitter that it is a possibility if they get strong enough feedback and if they can get the money to work. Then the co-owner/creative director of Renegade Kid said that they would be happy to work with them to make a 3DS version.

Except you ARE getting a return on your investment, you're getting a game (or at the very least the ability to buy said game later on that would otherwise not exist). Do the words "business ethics" and "conditional risk" mean anything to anyone? No the stated gains are not guaranteed, but that's why it's an investment firm, not a fucking store.
3DS makes a ton of sense business wise, though. Not only classic sidescrollers tend to perform better on Nintendo systems, not only is Mega Man closely related to Nintendo history, not only is 3DS Nintendo's main platform, but also 3DS is the platform with the fanbase that went through the MML3 cancellation. For the kind of game this is, a less visually impressive port would potentially be highly successful.
Oh, and Japan.

If you're backing, can you already vote for which Call you want? I might have to back sooner than I invisioned.
If those are my only choices? D:Let's talk genuinely important stuff, which Call are you voting for? The one of the left with the ponytail is clearly the superior choice:
Green girl second from the right, with the one below as a second choice. I just think her colors should be changed because a cool palette makes her a little too close to Beck IMO. The red/blue contrast is nice. Roll Call is super, super cute but I don't want Call to look so much like Roll.
Don't like Aero Call at all. It might be ok if they changed her awful hat/ponytail design, but she's way too top-heavy right now.
