Western indie guys like Double Fine who got over 3 million for their kickstarter and still can't get their game out in a timely manner.Originally Posted by Warren Ellis
well of course i want another 2d side-scroller by inafune and the more kickstarters from japanese game designers the better... but they really need to sort their shit and be more efficent like western indie developers...almost a milion dollar and a release date of 2015 for a 2d side-scroller? really ?
funny, coming from someone who also has Vita in the list of systems it should come to instead.Flatlining and hitting a stride are two different things. Wii U is surviving, and just barely
The majority of the hardcore crowd that wants to play a game like this will have moved on. It's already not going to have much visibility by the very nature of being an indie title.. Would've been smarter to go with PS4/XB1 while the platforms are young. They're especially catering to the hardcore and the competition pool is much smaller.
Please, please let this project succeed and be great. I love it already.
Then once it does, kickstart a Not-Megaman-Legends project in the same universe. I'll support that one even harder.

You are aware that Spring 2015 gives them just a little over a year, right? That's hardly a long development, to the contrary.Originally Posted by Warren Ellis

Welp.
Backed.
Backed.
Didnt think 8-4 were going to deliver the hype but they did.
Well, the title references Cyborg 009 at the same time that the game could play more like a mix of Rockman and Kirby. Not that it's very original what he's designing, but things ought to be okay.I'm kinda worried they might get hit with a cease and desist from Capcom. Game looks waaaay too similar to Megaman. So far at least.
Backed. Only $5 for now. If it gets closer to being a Mac or Console release (since those are all I've got) I'll definitely spring for more of a donation.
Wish there were going to be 3DS/Vita versions, though.

The soundtrack is so gooooood. Backed!
Man, I hope this turns out to be very successful.
I'd love a vita or a PS4 version though. Shahid went on a break from twitter for a week...maybe I should send him a tweet anyway, but might be annoying.

Is there a stretch goal for "Mighty No.9 Legend"?
Vita version later plz. I love the art style.
I don't understand, you have creative freedom outside of Capcom and you make the same game with a new name? I'm disappointed.
The internet has bad taste, man. Don't forget about 2nd best girl!You are simultaneously the best and worst for reminding me of this. How this design lost is still perplexing.
Edit: oh damn, beaten. I see I'm not the only one that was massively disappointed by the actual winner.

I actually really like this. It's like they are saying "this is what we want to make, while Capcom has the IP and won't do it, screw them".They didn't bother at all with the subtlety huh. Kinda surprised how derivative this is, from pretty much every perspective. Though I guess they are taking the skills a bit further, but still.
2.5 million for a PlayStation 3 version in 2015. Think I'll sit this one out.
This actually looks pretty fucking awesome and coming straight to PC? Definitely gonna put in $20.
Edit: The $40 tier looks too good.

I like how they even go so far as to use the same framing around their pictures as they use in the Megaman games. lol
Considering Capcom wouldn't let him make Mega Man, makes sense he would want the freedom to make a similar game, even if he can't use the IP.Originally Posted by Rich Black American

Does he respond? This is one that Sony/Shahid might want to moneyhat for a little Vita exclusive love.The soundtrack is so gooooood. Backed!

Would be epic to get it cross-buy on PS4/PS3/Vita.
For that to happen, Capcom has to acknowledge Mega Man exists. So Inafune is safe.I'm kinda worried they might get hit with a cease and desist from Capcom. Game looks waaaay too similar to Megaman. So far at least.
Regardless, I'm in for $60. Quite possibly the most thoroughly interesting kickstarter I've read.
Can we get a special 8-4 Play episode.
Like right now.

Manami Matsumae is a goddess omg the music
Ooooh, I almost forgot about that new third party production thing! I'm going to tweet him as well.I'm in for $20. Also tweeted at @giocorsi to see if he can fast track this to PSN, he DID say we should ask him for any game!
I didn't tweet Shahid. His last tweet is that he is on a break from twitter for a week.Originally Posted by casmith07

Snaps. I just noticed Manami Matsumae. I might need that soundtrack tier.
Well SHIIIIIIIIIIT.
Time to lose cash with a fucking smile.

Does 2PP have enough people to document this and DFA at the same time? I assume they'll be going to Japan for this one. Honestly this part of the KS intrigues more than the actual game since we rarely, if ever, see behind the scenes stuff in Japanese game development.
edit: oh nm, the documentary is just for the 2 million stretch goal, sux. I'll wait and see if it reaches that, then. :P And only three 30 minute episode? Eh.

I completely understand. Take something very loved, familiar, and that fans have been asking for and use that as a jumping off point into something that looks similar, but is new in alot of ways. It's good insurance for a Kickstarter. Also, having 8-4 involved is a huge plus.Originally Posted by Rich Black American

I backed this immediately.
Aaaand backed. I so hope this meets and possibly exceeds those stretch goals. This already looks wonderful.
Would like to see on X1/PS4 but Steam is fine for me
They aren't targeting crazy next gen (whatever that would be for a 2.5 D game at this point). That being said this will come out on next gen consoles obviously.We realize it can be hard to envision the project, since everything we’ve shown so far are mockups made for design documents. We do want to be clear this is no retro de-make; the fidelity we based our budget on to set our initial Kickstarter goal is for a game in-line with AAA current-gen console (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii U) 2D download titles. We can also safely say the plan is to use what is often called the “2.5D” setup: 3D models for characters and most objects, with the gameplay in 2D.
But maybe a better way of thinking about it is this: No matter what, Mighty No. 9 won’t be pushing the technological envelope of what the hottest AAA next-gen games are doing, but that’s not the point; the point is it’s going to look awesome—at least so awesome, in terms of both design and tech, that you won’t be thinking about how many polygons or shaders or GURPS or whatever that it’s pushing or not pushing. If you’re still wondering, you could look at the two developers working on Mighty No. 9, look at their previous games, look at the early art and overall production value you see evident on this page, and decide for yourself what they are capable of. Either way, we are confident that, if you were interested enough in the game to read this far into the page, you don’t need to worry about this.
First Kickstarter I'll bite on. And holy shit at how quick the money is racking up, everyone's thirsty for some not-Megaman action.
This is amazing!!!!
Sales-wise, of course. Sony's positioned Vita as a home for indie games though. Nintendo's not done the same for Wii U.Originally Posted by KillerTravis
Why mention Vita and diss Wii U? They are both in the same situation lol
I mean, the proof is in the pudding. Are there as many indie games on or coming to Wii U as Vita?
Maaaan Capcom is going to sue.
wonder how Capcom feels about this once it's become a success
(all that lost monies)
I'm getting this, brother is a big megaman fan!~

look at what dota did with compendiums. im pretty sure that maybe give this game another month they get to the final stretch goal. tempted at the 250 tier. tho a sketch hand drawn by inafune at 500 is really tempting. there is already one dude backed for the create your challenge.
