Disappointing.
I pledged for the physical Famicom/NES-styled USB drives, as well as the boxes [which I'll get in the tier that I pledged]. If I had known we were getting an actual physical edition, I probably would have saved my money for that. :/

Huh, a game on my birthday, hope it's not bad since I backed it 
Really? Okay. It is hard to find accurate information from quick searches sometimes.

I hope with Deep Silver publishing this there will be a Beck costume in Saints Row 5 or whatever, because I would totally dig that.
Also fuck yeah, Japanese voice track and so much more stuff is soooo awesome!

Might've been posted already but wasn't that supposed to be an exclusive backer reward at a certain tier? Isn't that a bit shitty to make a special costume and say it's only for backers of x amount and then turn around and say "oops, not exclusive. Also exclusive to physical buyers. But also not really exclusive to them"
I mean, yeah, it's only a skin but if it was part of a tier I backed I'd want it to stay exclusive.
The top is what we all wanted but the bottom is what I excepted. I was disappointed when it was 2.5D and even more so when they keep showing it off and it looks bad.
Still, gameplay is king so if it's fun then that is really what matters. Graphics are just sprinkles on the ices cream of gaming.

It's annoying, I know it's concept art but the game only relates to the artwork with the character designs, the visual style doesn't really match at all.

They fucked us beckers up the ass today. Like omg at least Ray DLC is free tho right?
I would be beyond pissed if it wasn't for us, considering the cash grab going on here. I'm obviously still going to play this for the gameplay and the online modes are dope BUT I still wish Megaman X existed man...

Could be interested in the WiiU version if this actually ends up being any good.

Only physical on PS4?
Curses!
EDIT: nevermind. Will buy on Wii-U! JUST WHAT I NEEDED.

Yeah, I actually expected that the bottom was their target back when I first saw it. Looks totally do-able and looks like a very pleasant art style.
I don't really care though. From what I've seen the game still looks ok, and I probably won't think much about it when I play.
did they give any info when the (physical) backer rewards will be shipped?
still very excited. graphics (or the style) could have been a lot better, but its the gameplay that counts. curious to see how the vita/3ds versions will end up looking, since they have to "remake" them from the start, according to their blog.

Actually from X3-X Commnad mission there's quite a few of the same people, because one person left doesn't really change anything, these was an X team, and from what I can tell they are still there,
This game clearly doesn't have the actual strength behind the level design.
Where are you seeing this? Also, I don't believe anyone is asking for the game for free, what the hell.
They are saying you can't get it as a platform choice. It would be nice to have the ability to upgrade to it but I understand the funding is completely separate so it's highly unlikely.

It's kind of sad that this will be the first retail Mega Man game released on consoles in almost 10 years.
I got an email last night saying backers will be unable to get retail copies at all. I'm demading a refund, that is just the latest incorrigible thing to happen in this campaign. People backed for $60 to get a physical copy and all they're getting is Comcept's goofy USB sticks in a cardboard box. That's inexcusable.
Wow...I backed it at that tier too. Fucking Comcept.

Physical copy on anything other than PS4?

Is the physical copy from kickstarter really a USB in a box? I never backed but presumed it was a PC cd/dvd for that tier.
That's what they said from the very beginning.
Ok it would've been nice to have the true physical version, but they never promised anything like that and I don't see why we should be entitled to this PS4 physical version which is funded and published by an entirely different company.
I don't really understand how that comes as a surprise, in fact having the physical box would've been a good one, but sticking to what they promised is perfectly normal in that case.
The MN9 FAQ says for PS4, Wii U, Xbone and PC/Mac/Linux, although I've also seen the 3DS box art so who knows.
"Entitled"
Perhaps because people spent $60, money without which the game would never be made, to get the closest thing to a physical edition that they were told would ever be made?
Also, don't give me that "entirely different company" nonsense, Comcept chose to go with Deep Silver and chose to screw the backers that got them there.
The Kickstarter reward was just a box and manual, no copy of the game.
You had to pay a separate fee for a USB or DVD.
If you go back and read that tier's details, it mentions:
But I understand the frustration and imagine many other backers of that tier will have the same argument.
I got the $20 tier.
Oh what? This is bull shit, I am going to ask for a refund as well as when I originally backed it I was not expecting a retail copy.
The free DLC doesn't mean anything either since the retail copies come with the DLC.
Good luck. I doubt your going to get one but if your unsatisfied you may as well try I guess.
Doubt you're gonna get a refund cause you will be getting what you paid for.
Comcept is a despicable company that continues to spit on the face of its backers, but we are still getting what we paid for.
I know this company will never see a cent from me again though.
The stuff about the USBs is here. The janky CD in a cardboard box is even worse. Now it's basically a bootleg.
Good. I encourage everyone to demand refunds if they're unhappy. They're a reality of Kickstarters and at the very least they send Comcept a real message.
There's no reason they can't add a new tier and allow backers at a certain amount or higher to switch to it. (Well, probably there is SOME reason, I just don't know what it could be.)
Yeah, you'll still get what was paid for, but now it's made obsolete by a better version. If backers want the full version, they have to pay twice.
(Glad I didn't back. The reason I didn't back actually, was due to lack of a physical, console version. I usually consider Kickstarter backing just a shakier preorder.)
It's not a bootleg since it is a fully licensed release. Also you are not going to send any kind of message to comcept. They aren't behind the physical releases they are being handled Deep Silver.
Can't add a new tier since the game is done. Also to give you a copy of the new physical release would make them have to pay deep silver and probably lose money on the deal. Honestly stuff like this has happened before. I backed Chasm before they had a console release and probably won't be able to get a PS4 key because of the costs involved but it's not like I blame them I am getting what I paid for.

Or just an unique, limited and probably well made product to have in your collection if you are a fan of the game..
Man, what a good example of how a 2.5D game looks with some style applied. Great looking game in its own right. Ironic that it's a Capcom game.
email the at mightyno9@comcept.jp or sign up for the forum and send Dana a message is probably your best bet.
And probably had a bigger budget.
I don't get how someone with a Meis avatar could let me down like this.
First of all, you know what really doesn't send a message? Accepting a bullshit situation.
Second of all, again, nobody forced them into this Deep Silver situation. Deep Silver isn't some unrelated entity: they are now the publisher. The people who bankrolled the project to the tune of $4 million are not non-entities.
I respect you maybe got jerked around on a Kickstarter before but that doesn't mean people who are fed up with Comcept should just eat their loss. Besides, I assure you Kickstarter refunds are possible and by no means rare. Most devs would rather cough up a few bucks and make it clear that they are trying to do the right thing.
mightyno9@comcept.jp is the address they responded to me from.
You're probably right. But I've seen plenty of indie games come across with next to no budget, or smaller budgets than this, that look better than what we're seeing in MN9. There's something to be said for quality art direction.

ok now I remember some of the tiers this game had, I remember this option now to get the box and manual but no physical game, lol.
This is why I dislike having so many backer tiers, either give a physical copy or a digital copy, not some half-arsed inbetween box without game tier.

Clearly.
Like, Scoobs, how do you even know that, man? Have you like, played it already somehow? Zoinks!
You can look to Vanillaware for a company that makes beautiful games at a fraction of the budget.
Dragon's Crown only cost $1 million.
Wow really? If that's true then it's the perfect example.
Yes and they released on 2 consoles. Also their games are built on flash and involve contorting the graphics in a way that imitates full animation.
