bububu that Kamiya tweet...
If I'm under playing his contributions it's not intentional. Later games he was a producer and had more impact on but the earlier games he was an artist. He didn't create the series/character or "make him big" but he had a role early on which grew over time.

Happy you are looking forward to the game! I hope the game ends up being a good time in the end.
The point you bolded is important because is shows Inafune cares more about making a series rather then making a great game. But I could be dead wrong here and will gladly eat my words when the game comes out to a success.
Infaune had a big role making Mega Man and his legacy should be noted, but like Naka's role with Sonic Team, it wasn't just him making the games that we all loved. Major plays at both Capcom and Sonic Team made what we love the most about the games (gameplay, music, level design, combat systems).
Inafune's role with Mega Man shouldn't be downplayed but he wasn't the only man behind the Blue Bomber, as was Naka being the only father of Sonic.
He actually had less of a role then even Naka. A lot of his actual role is hyperbole. Heck his biggest involvement was the Zero games.

Trust me, I backed it, and I'm not asking for more delays. TMS is gonna have to wait a bit.

Came to post this
And yet all of those are things being done with Mega Man, the character people are convinced is not being utilised but is ironically being utilised more than his successor who is supposed to fill the gap from Mega not being utilisedAnd yet none of those are new games
lol
The Kamiya tweet is mainly taken out of context anyway. Inafune isn't a game designer and never has been. This is why Kamiya seemed confused people were acting like it was an insult.

He did neither of these things, and I am on Capcoms side 100% of any issue between the two.

Wait how is the PS2 collectrion atrocious? (Granted the Xbox and GC collections are better)
I ran into a decent amount of bugs on it. Iirc in Megaman one in the final area you'll fall through the moving platforms and die if you take any damage.

I wonder if it will release on 360/PS3 or not. I especially wonder whether Bloodstained, slated for next year but likely to release 2018, will release on 360/PS3 or not.

You realize that aside from the sprite art for Mega Man himself, basically the entire look of the original game, both concept art and their eventual in-game graphics, was all Inafune?
And yet Mega Man 2 is the titular title of the Classic series.

Uh huh. Sure, it will be released in June.
...is this the "Eventually" stage or the "Uh..." stage of broken promises? I lost count.
Can't wait until people finally get their hands on the game, declare it as mediocre, and Inafune/Comcept's only response is:

It would take 9 months of delays to push Bloodstained back that far.
Also PS3/360 versions were never stated as being planned for it to the best of my knowledge.

Well, he was the lead character designer in that game too, so...?
Oh, I guess there was the fact that the Robot Masters starting from MM2 were pulled from fan art design contests, but he still took those characters, redesigned them in his own style, then brought them into the game.
They usually call that being a character designer, not being the creator of the game.

Cool, the demo was fun so hopefully the rest of the game is.

I don't believe them.
If the game is bad I want it to fail because it should be a lesson.
If the game is good I'll play it and enjoy it, and that'll be that.
I never want a good game to fail unless they're doing something ethically wrong, so please refrain from putting words in my mouth.

at least PSV/3DS @ later date is probably true, tho.

Which doesn't refute my point.
Eh, I've replayed the ones in the MM Legacy Collection recently and while they hold up better than most things from that era honestly they all have some pretty rough spots.

Did you play original or turn on navigator?
It was a very long time ago. I honestly don't remember.

That's a badly written PR. Lots of redundies. I also don't think 3 different forms of apologies will make up for frustrations over the delays. The only thing that will make up for it is for the game to be really good. Scratch that, the network mode being good and worthy is what might justify it.
If that's the case, then good on Inafune. If not, and that's my gut feeling, then I don't see him capable of persuading anymore big crowdfunded projects. And rightfully so.

No game is perfect, and memorization is a little on the explicit side, but it doesn't feel as haphazard as Mighty No.

Maybe it's because I didn't put money into this, but I just don't get the level of vitriol aimed at this game. Sure development took longer but that seems to happen a lot with games in general and especially with Kickstarter games, it seems. Like just how many platforms were they simultaneously developing this for? Each one will have its own quirks to work out and certification process to go through.
I seem to recall backing Shantae 1/2 Genie Hero at about the same time, instead of Mighty No. 9, and that game still isn't out. I don't recall seeing the same kind of gnashing of teeth over that.

9 months is a lot of delay for someone who used to crank these out yearly while working on other projects. I guess we'll see what happens though, and it's not like you're going to be disappointed if it ships earlier.
Most of the projects like this seem to be crossgen though, I can't really blame you for thinking this was too.
Yes that's why, This game that was playable so far wasn't that good, It 's been just a constant stream of dissapointment especially with all the delays.
maybe the game will be great but it's more of wait and see. I would have got a refund if I could have. I don't care about this game anymore.

What does it even mean to "go gold" in this day and age? If it's done, just flip the switch on Steam. I guess some platforms need time to pass validation, but there's not a damned thing stopping them from just dropping the PC version immediately.

Probably because a bunch of people flipped out when Wii U/Vita versions were announced for "holding the game back."
