Keiji Inafune (essentially Megaman's creator) left Capcom fairly recently in order to pursue his own endeavors. It seems Capcom wasn't giving him the creative freedom he wanted. Now he's back and is working on a new Megaman style platformer. Check it out <a href=http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mightyno9/mighty-no-9>here.</a> The kickstarter opened yesterday, and it's already over half way to it's goal. Guess this goes to show that the man knows what gamers want. Being a huge Keiji Inafune and Megaman fan, I'm definetly going to contribute. How about you? What do you guys think?



So freaking amped about this game. Already donated too.

i think that 2014 is going to be the best year for video games since the 90's!
both of my favourite game creators of all time (Keiji Inafune and Doug Tennapel) are making new games that are spiritual successors of their best previous titles, but moreso (the latter being Armikrog, if you haven't seen it yet). additionally, the best Wii U games are scheduled to come out then (HD Zelda?!). simply put: EXCITE!

Wow that looks really great. It has an old school feel while using modern graphics. It's a shame that some publishers and companies forces you to do what they want.

It's an old school platformer in which you choose the order in which you tackle the initial stages. When you defeat a stage boss, you get his weapon. Each boss is weak to one or more of the other bosses weapons and resistant or take no damage to others. The series is regarded for having pretty good difficulty and arcade style game play. There have been loads of spin-offs and side series since then. If you want a good idea of gameplay, look up some gameplay of Megaman II or Megaman 9. It's a fantastic series. Megaman X is the 16/32 bit counterpart, and is also worth a look. I hear some of the side series games are good too, but I haven't really played any of them.

Why is it credit card only? Now I can't give them my money :'( No doubt this project will be funded though, it's super awesome. I've always loved the Mega Man franchise and I can't wait to play this. Why no paypal or something
I wonder who pledged the 10k.

I'd love it if it reaches the $2,500,000 goal, the WiiU really needs some classic love

So, that initial goal set was 900,000. It's only been two days and it's at 900,500 and rising as I am writing this. I can see this making the 2,500,000 goal pretty easily.

*edit* 902,843 by the time I finished writing this post!

I won't be surprised if that extra 0 won't actually be too much at the end. I can easily see at least 10-15M$ minimum.
