Almost made it to page 2 without that damn tweet.
But yeah, Inafune.

THIS is the number one thing that makes me deeply regret backing this; all of this time and effort to do side projects with an unproven franchise (AND Red Ash on top of it) and you can't even pump out the first game yet? I want off of this roller coaster already.
Someone just had to. It's getting tired now.
Such a contrast between Inafune and Igarashi. One guy is talking about the future of a franchise while the other is gearing up to showcase possible artistic direction with shaders, to see what fans want and like.
Backing Inafune looks to have been a grave mistake for all involved.

I'm so tired of waiting for this game 
His message is a reply to everything after RT.
You fell for Ninja Scooter's post.

Mighty No. 9 news 3 years ago
Mighty No. 9 news now
I wouldn't mind if this hypothetical Amiibo gave Mega Man a costume in Smash.
Pretty much this. Is it seriously crazy to think about how the general public's reception to MN9 has done a complete 180 since it's inception?

My Amazon order got canceled, so probably.
Goddammit, I was hoping we'd hit 50 posts before someone took the bait.

Well that's what three years of nothin' but bad news does to a product, unfortunately.

"Theres the Red Ash project, even though the Kickstarter was a failure. But we did get the company Fuse to back us up with the project, at least to a certain point. So we are talking with Fuse and within ourselves, How can we evolve this project to our end goal?"
I don't like the sound of that. They said Fuze covered the entire main game so there shouldn't be another kickstater.

There's going to be another kickstater isn't it T_T

Microsoft are pretty lame at showing stuff outside of events I wouldn't worry. Phil Spencer tweeted about it recently and Armature were on the Crackdown extra-life stream they did so it seems like it is progressing alright

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Its hard not to wish total failure on all Mighty No 9 endeavours at this point so that terrible looking knockoff character can just fade away quicker.
Sonuvabitch. Not a hint of irony!

Wait, I initially missed that. I thought Inafune said Fuse was funding all of Red Ash. What the hell?
Embarrassing.

Instead of the amiibo can we just get MN9 finished?
Every since the Red Ash KS its left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm not even a megaman fan. I only ever played Mega Man 9 but enjoyed it enough to warrant the backing of the creators spiritual successor.
Is anyone really longing for an amiibo at this point? Down the line when the games done and dusted? Sure! But for the moment it seems there are slightly more pressing matters to attend to Inafune.

Tried the game at Paris Games Week.
Find it really ugly actually but i could pass that, the whole dash mechanic is amusing to be honest but i really want some advanced move like for exemple : Being able to double jump when you successfully dash through an ennemy. It really lack something like that.
Also, with a dash mechanic, boss staying on a big room like Megaman is absurd for me. They should have made them run like in Sonic Advance 2. That way when you dash to hurt the boss, you are not stuck on a side of the room.
So yeah, it wasn't THAT horrible but i wasn't really convinced.
I can get the Inafune hate but he is "only" a business man and as it is, he is quite good at this job ! Know a tons of people, know how to make publicity, is very passionate about that... I have more problem with the developpers which made a game I don't really enjoy that much/

It will be something like "we have the base game covered but YOU can vote with your money on extra stages and playable characters!" while the base game is just 1 main char and 4 stages or something shitty.
He's replying to someone else.
Every time I think that Inafune and Comcept can't put that cart any farther before the horse, they find a way to move it forward another yard or so.
Guys, can't you just release the game before you start thinking about tie-ins, amiibos, and turning this into your big franchise home-run that you so desperately want? If people like your game, they'll support this stuff. Just focus on making the best game you can.

Sir!
Didn't Inafune already re-create Megaman with Azure Gunvolt or whatever it was called? That game has its own kind of suck but I don't understand why he just wants to keep re-creating Megaman over and over again.
Inti Creates developed Gunvolt by themselves without anything to do with Inafune unless I'm mistaken.

I think this is one of the big issues with this company.
Inti Creates did develop Gunvolt by themselves, though Inafune was credited as an "Executive Producer" on Gunvolt for giving them advice during development.
Interesting. I stand corrected.
Well, only a complete jackass would wish such a thing.
Inafune is a business creator. He can't just stop creating new cross media business opportunities because he left Capcom and MN9 is not finished yet.
I hadn't been keeping a close eye on the project, but every now, and then I've seen glimpses of more, and more backlash accumulating, and it's kind of hilariously awkward watching the whole thing fall flat on it's face.

The most interesting part to me is this:
"So right now, the backers' verdict was "no" to Red Ash, but once we have something more to show, something we're proud to show, we might come back to Kickstarter to see what people think at that time."
So that pretty much says they will try again and will have no excuse if they don't show clearly how the game will look and play since they will only show something that they're "proud to show". I still hope that the game ends up being good but we'll see.
The perception in the video game industry can 180 fucking fast and loose in 3 years.

That interview sucks. It was pretty much an infomercial that didn't address the failure of the Red Ash campaign at all.

I kickstarted MN9 and have completely forgot about it.... when is it coming out? :|
When the people of the world demand it so much, that Inafune has no choice but to give it to them.
