Mighty No.9 Kickstarter (PS4/XB1 & Vita/3DS are GO!) (Inafune/IC, $4M FUNDED)

it looks glorious

I like it.
I really doubt that. He's the 9th robot who has to defeat his 8 predecessors. It's like Mega Man fighting 8 boss robots.
It would actually sell on the Vita. Games like Guacamelee and Retro City Rampage probably made more profit than some third party games that came out on Wii U.

Your chosen platforms just dont make any sense..You left some platforms out that didnt even need to be out. Why include PS4 but not Xbox one? Just all around silly

That was a very inspiring video for the project. I'm tempted to donate.

Unfortunately they clearly state it's just concept art, but hopefully the finished game will resemble it.
That's what did it for me.
Hoping it reaches the stretch goals. Will buy on both PS3 and Wii U, if so.
I have "XB1" written right there in my post. No edits or anything, goofball
Edit: Ohhhhh, I didn't. I meant to write XB1. Genuine mistake. My bad.
That's why I mentioned 360 though. MS has clearly moved on from the platform. Titles of this scale would be better promoted and have more breathing room on XB1. I'd say the same for PS4 vs PS3, but Sony is clearly still putting a bit of support into that system.

Have you not noticed how often Wii U versions have been a stretch goal for Kickstarter games (and subsequently been met)? There's dozens, I'd say at least 30-40, indie games slated for release on Wii U via that route alone.
The fact that the system has so often been a stretch goal or included as part of standard Kickstarter campaigns, along with several other well-publicized aspects of indie development on the Wii U (free Unity license, etc.), suggests that Nintendo has positioned the Wii U as a home for indie games as well.
Of course, many of these games being presently unreleased, it will be seen in the coming year how receptive the audience is to those games, and how profitable they are for their developers.

Yeah, Mega Man still has a number of fans, and if Capcom isn't interested in doing anything with him (outside the occasional fighting game cameo), then this is the next best thing.
In regards to release time and price: it's possible they're still looking to hire additional talent, but won't know how much they'll need until the Kickstarter is finished. The screens we have so far are just concept art, so it seems they're still very early in the design stages. Spring 2015 (18-20 months) isn't an unreasonable time frame, in that case. And if the people working on this want a living wage, then the price of the Kickstarter will need to be a pretty significant.

Which didn't even get past the threat of legal action before being pulled from shelves.

They're not using any copyrighted material, or lifting assets directly from another game.

Just because it looks similar doesn't mean they can sue. Ghost Song has been going on strong without being sued for example.
Same thing that prevents every other person who makes a "spiritual successor" or mobile clones from being sued. If it doesn't use any assets or names there is really nothing that can be done.
I don't know, but I can tell you that Capcpom's lawyers are definitely looking into it as we speak. If they can find a way, they will.

Backed!. If this is a 2015 game, the platforms make very little sense to me, let's hope they get a lot of money and the support of a big publisher to go the extramile.
So they want $900.000 between the west (kickstarter) and Japan (their own site)?. Or $900.000 each?.

No, you're right. I didn't list it, but I meant to. Just typing fast.

This is more likely, if they wanted to be assholes about it they could farm another Mega Man DD title just in time for this game's release.
Never contributed to a Kickstarter before. That might change here. One, fuckin mega man but not actually mega man, dudes. Two, 8-4. Three, PHIL THEOBALD.
Would piss myself if Capcom tried to weave together some rival Mega Man game though. Some monstrosity wearing the skin of the great man.
