If people can't be bothered to read a Kickstarter before donating to it then *shrug*

Fully expecting the 3DS and Vita versions to be quietly cancelled about a year from now.
No, he absolutely, unquestionably designed characters from scratch from the first game onwards.
Even the big shocking reveal that's supposed to prove that he's a hack--namely that he didn't direct the first two games and that he was only partially responsible for Mega Man's visual design--is something he freely admitted and the only reason so many people know about it is because he talked about it.
I don't think the dude is a hack, but I think he's given way more credit than is due. It's just when it comes down to "the only source is Inafune" there's not much room to move and you have no idea if it's dicky success-got-to-his-head Inafune finally trying to be humble after he realises he can't move mountains, or if it's just him trying to potentially pass blame for past misgivings.
I know he came into the project late. I know he's not the creator of Mega Man. I'm fairly certain he didn't get that "we'll just do what Inafune says" company culture until much later. He had a lot of rejected original designs. He didn't get things half his way until MMX, and totally his way until MMZ.
I don't believe Inafune is "just a business man", but I think he's a lot less better at what he does than people give him credit for. Not a hack, but just not great.
I don't have an issue with Inafune, IGA or even Sakamoto using thier name to get backing on a project if they choose to.
The big difference is Inafune is often billed as the creator of the series where IGA and Sakamoto very rarely are and when they are this is generally corrected by people.
I'm not blaming Inafune for this either, it's a big misconception and I'm not sure if he fed into it or not.
The two platforms were both stillborn anyway and everyone knew it when the kickstarter was done. People like the platforms and want to play games on it.
They have a separate developer working on those versions, received enough backing for them and the game doesn't exactly seem to be pushing the tech to a point where those platforms aren't viable. I don't really see an issue here.

I'll be happy when I'm actually playing the game, until then... I won't listen to anymore announcements or news updates. This has been going on for too long.
Haha no it definitely is not

For many years he called himself "the creator of Megaman" (literally) and he never mentioned the name of the actual creator, Akira Kitamura.
Here is an example:

BTW, if you want to know more about the creation of Megaman, read this interview with Kitamura.

I wasn't aware and didn't want the blame the guy without being sure. I appreciate the clarification.
Shmuplations is such an awesome site BTW.

After these 3 years with delays, what little hype I had for
this game is about gone. Honestly until I see the game case on the
shelf for preorder, I don't believe this "set in stone" release date.
