I want to see how the exclusive transformation looks before jumping the gun to $99.

Let's not kid ourselves here.... it wasn't. It's called Mighy No. 9 and it had 6 stages... That left No. 7/8 out in the cold. This game was designed with 8 stages in mind, but they were covering their asses in case they couldn't afford to get it all done.
They mentioned the possibility of getting more sketches done in the latest update.
If you're interested you might want to hold out for it. I know, it sounds like a lot of money, but we're talking a personally created [and signed] original sketch from Inafune, here!

I'm getting more and more tempted by the $250... sketches are nice, but hard bound artbook signed by inafune? Tough call.

If I was loaded and could do the pledge to work with the team to develop a challenge, I'd combine two classic game moments for me. The first is the disappearing platforms in the Iceman stage in Mega Man with that sound they make. The second is in SMB 1-2 with the elevator platforms. I remember my family always had trouble with that, and I was the firs tin my family to pass it.
Those platforms were a really cool challenge if you didn't have the magnet beam. They were kind of rhythm based and required some jumping that would be trust-based if it weren't for the sound they make. I would combine that with the SMB thing by having platforms that are all descending to cross a long chasm. When they reach a certain point, they could make a sound or change color before breaking or something, to give you a clear signal that you want to jump off of them.
At first you'll have a next platform easily available, then you may need to jump back and forth between two paths of descending platforms before the third one shows itself, then the platforms will get faster so timing will get more tricky, and by the final jump you will just have to jump out in complete trust of the system it established with no sign of any next platform, at which point you'll seem to be falling into oblivion and then one will sweep under you and carry you off like a rocket ride to safety.
The challenge will teach you how to play it as you go, that jumping early or late is not good, but to trust the signal. And there will be an intuitive rhythm to it as it ramps up, so you may struggle at first, but when you are going through it successfully you'll feel one with the game so you can feel the difference between doing it properly and not. That is how I felt with the Iceman level, and the salvation/flying at the end of this would kind of representative of that feeling that you get from flowing with the game, almost like you passed the test and the game finds you agreeable, haha.

I think it would be fun to play and wouldn't even mind if someone stole it and gave me no credit.
Hopefully , they have also allocated a budget of their own other than kickstarter funding which was also good indicator of public interest.I mean after all this backing this better go all the way and shake the ground.
They gotta have something to fall back on that they don't need to tell us about.Its very uplifting to see this kind of support to this wonderful project.

Art style and art medium have 100% zero authority over total cost.
And the projection were.
They were banking on excess funding coming from having the SUCCESSFUL! on their page.
Oh, and:
Thankfully with the $500 pledge, we get both.
But yeah, that's a lot of money to pledge. The $250 tier is incredible as well, and much more affordable. That signed book is going to be a treasured item for sure, since I have a strong feeling that Mighty No. 9 will be a great game [that extends into a full-blown series, hopefully].

Huh? The other stretch goals actually cost them nothing to make? You aren't thinking about this correctly/realistically.

The 8 stages stretch goal was already reached by the time I made that post. He was talking about the new game + and turbo.
They're going to have to, because it's going to get reached!
Most definitely.
I'm really pleased to see how this project is progressing.
Not only that, it's going to be a quality game.
Might have a new franchise on his hands.
That's the hope!
To be honest, with the people involved behind-the-scenes, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if this became a staple franchise. I realize I might be getting a bit ahead of myself, but that's how much faith I have in this.
When I saw the staff, I was like...we might have something here.
Everyone that ever made Mega Man great is working on this. Huge thumbing of the nose at Capcom.
If they do plan on making this a franchise wonder what they'll do in the sequel. Go do another game with the same concept or go do a Mega Man Legends type game.
I think the same platforming will be just fine. There can't just be 9 Mighty No.s!

Yeah, it's a beautiful thing to see.
By the way, I just noticed another backer chose the "Dinner with Keiji Inafune" tier. That would be an interesting experience, for sure.
Agreed.
These ones are the best, I'll be happy with either design.

I won't be satisfied with anything less than Roll-Call. If I squint my eyes hard enough I can pretend I'm playing a Mega Man game that way.

come on just $50k more
My avatar pretty much gives away which Call I want.
Can't unsee it now.
Yes, I want both of those for a complete game. More so the former.
They said 2015.
Oh maaaaaan! Dang, well that would give them even more reason to do so. That wait is gonna suck. I have been waiting for a new Mega Man for a while....sheesh.
There'll be a $1 billion stretch goal for Mr. Inafune to build a real Beck.
Protoman/Zero hybrid, sword-styled gameplay please
Kickstarter doesn't support Paypal.

Can't wait to see what the new Zero looks like.
I don't understand what you mean, generally big kickstarter campaigns have a paypal link for backers who cannot or will not use kickstarter.

that's a bit extreme, I personally would prefer the pink haired one but wouldn't really care.
Seems like it's finally slowing down, if they reveal a cool 1.75million goal then it will speed up again.

Hoping the equivalent of Zero and Protoman are awesome.
Bare knuckle brawler. Charge punch the shit out of robots, slide does damage and Not-Zero-Knuckle so he can piledrive enemies or throw them at other enemies.
