I think it's not unreasonable to think of him as a parallel to Brian Fargo; skilled at getting resources on-side.

Are those the creators or megaman? I'm not exactly a Megaman fan (don't get me wrong, I don't hate Megaman, nor did I came to shit up the thread), so the names don't ring a bell.
The game looks eerily similar, so I'm hoping they at least take sole slight risks (not risks, improvements) to the formula, since they are not exactly hold up to the Francishe. Although with everything Megaman fans had endured, another 2D megaman might be what they need.
They are the developers of the Megaman Zero games, which in my opinion are the best Megaman games and some of the best GBA games overall. You should really check them out. They also did the Megaman ZX games on the DS and the retro-styled Megaman games on the Wii. So yes, they have plenty of experience with the franchise and there probably isn't a developer more suited for the task.
Another update.

Is the game artist in there? (I never played any of the games but the enemy and character designs of Megaman Zero and Megaman Battle Network are some of my favorite)
Also I'm very surprised some people had paid thousands of dollars for some of the rewards. That's crazy

As tempting as those $60 tiers are, $250 gets you everything major (ESPECIALLY the Inafune-signed hardcover art book).
But $600 gets you a signed sketch too...

Nobody is talking about it but this was in the update also.

Yeah, I was surprised to see the increase in-price. It's understandable, considering how tiring all of these sketches will likely be to create, so they don't want them being too easily available. I'm glad I got mine for $500!
This Kickstarter seems to be doing around $100,000 a day, even in the time period where pledges normally fall off [4-5 days after it began]. That's incredible!
Keep up the great work, Mighty Beckers! Let's see this thing to $2,200,000 and beyond!
But you cannot sniff/smell a digital manual!
Theres an app foe that.
Heh, to be an honest, it wouldn't surprise me if there was. There's an app for everything!
Damn. I was trying to ask/prod about both gameplay (asking about wall jumping, dashes, charged weapons & armors) and the possibility of a Mighty No. 0 with Melee gameplay.
toru nakayama isn't involved unfortunately. that would have been great though because he's got a wonderful style

So does the $60 pledge have a different exclusive in-game transformation from the $99 pledge? Or are they the same thing, just forgot to edit it?
I would be pretty surprised if we made it tonight.

If anything, I'm surprised that we haven't reached $1.7 million yet and do expect to have reached it by next morning. By the end of Friday, we should have met the stretch goal for the documentary.

I hope they add a 3ds goal , inti creates have experience developing for 3ds.
Wow that Mighty no.9 theme piano version is really awesome, its like taking you to a scenario in the game that someone had died or a sad portion of the story and its really cool!! want this to be the ending song of the game just EPIC!!.
Manami san thank you for this music, this really touches me.

Given their recent track record, the last thing that Capcom Japan needs right now is more bad publicity.
On a more pessimistic note, if this game does well at digital retail, then it might give those suit-types a (much-needed) kick in the pants to give the franchise to a developer that wouldn't know how to handle it. I'm more worried about THAT, above all else.

$1.7M - WOW. This feels like it's truckin' right along at a good pace. Either it's going faster than other recent Kickstarters, or the goals are well spaced out.
I don't think they would give Mega Man to a western developer, but if they did it would probably be one they could trust to handle a 2D platformer. Also probably WayForward, which would show that they support Mighty No 9 by giving the game to a company whose CEO is named John Beck.

Backed it with $80. I just wanted to get in the Beta.
C'mon, console versions! Why does it have to be so high? Could it be lower without the documentary? I'd rather have the console versions.

Looking forward to it.
Ooh myy goood, myy eeears. soo goood.
After reading some of the comments in the recent Edge interview with Inafune, I'm worried about this too. It'd be a bit like when Activision tried suing EA over Brutal Legend despite them dropping the game anyway.
You cannot edit any tier that has already been pledged (because that would be changing the terms the pledger has signed up to). I'd assume it's the same transformation.
It's the same - and yeah, KS doesn't let you change tiers - only add them.

May I have a cookie?
I was thinking that once the stretch goal for the documentary is reached (could happen today) those who were reluctant to back the KS before a console version was a real possibility should be notified that the stretch goal for a console release has been moved up, so they can put their money where their mouth is, so to speak.
Is there any way this information can be incorporated in the thread title?
