Not actually that important
Damn, I thought it was a remake of this:
I liking the Mega Man Legend-ish style of it.
Then don't support it? I guess this isn't solely directed at you, but people used to say they were getting fatigued with pixel platformers in the 8 bit style and that they were anxious for devs to move from 8 to 16 bit. Now we're getting 16 bit style ones and people are still complaining about how they're sick of pixels.
Not every developer is going to make exactly what you want. And not every developer is capable of making things in the style you want.
I wish people would stop being mad at devs for making the games they want or choose to make. If someone wants to make an 8, 16, 32, 64, 120k bit project, let them. If you don't like it, vote with your money and don't buy it. I'll never understand why people get upset with indie devs for what is an incredibly conscious choice on their end. They're making the game in the style they chose to make it in.
What was the game?

What about us poor Mega Man X6 (it had Japanese VA) and Mega Man ZX (Japanese version had VA removed in the western release)? (Not serious)
This game seems closer to Zero/ZX than earlier series. I'm not backing it but will probably buy it on Steam if it's fun to play.

Someone should really just do a copy of Mega Man Legends on KS. I would pay buckets for it. Buckets.

Yea. Hopefully the controls are smoother than in Mega Man Legends, though.

Looks more like Gunvolt X to me lol
Pass as it just looks like a Mega Man X clone but with the protagonist being Female, not very original.
I can't wait to play A Hat in Time.
While the combat looks clunky the game looks pretty cool, what systems is it releasing on?
What is this?

Pretty much.
Oh wow, they just straight up copied Sigma for the villain.
Gone gone, form of man, rise the demon Etrigan!
Yeah, that's what I thought, too.
Well, I guess it's legal, but that's playing with fire, if you ask me.
If we're at this point I guess it's all good, though.
Very much looks like it. If someone told me this was a character in Mega Man ZX (the Zero game I haven't played), I'd probably just believe them.

Lol, i'm sure it will be fun but the art style and mechanics seem like a blatant rip-off of Mega Man X/Zero.
The Girl and the Robot is a third person action/adventure game in development for PC, Mac, Linux, Wii U and PS4.
Fan Developed (Still in progress) Mega Man Legends 3
I'm on the opposite end after a generation of grey shooters, I'll gladly take the best kind of game

Yep, those are the only two kinds of games in the world.

I'm working on a Mega Man inspired game as well, so there's a lot here that I can get behind. Although I'm a bit turned off by the lack of originality. It's one thing to be inspired by the formula and want to emulate/build on that. It's another thing entirely to make a clone featuring an almost identical cast of characters.
I hope Kickstarter works out for them, and hopefully development goes well!

the fuck is this shit???

I haven't tried it, but apparently you can play the early version:
From scanning the page, I gather that it looks like a pretty safe Mega Man game. Nothing horrible about that, though definitely not enough for me to back a digital game. MM is a good mold to build from though, hopefully it works out.
Also, might as well add this gif from the page to this thread:
That GIF looks like Megaman Zero, even the animations do.
BTW this just reminded me that Capcom has yet to release Megaman ZX3. That secret ending from Advent... it needs closure

animations are exactly as Zero from GBA games, seems that is worked from those animations

Did the main character just glue on half a wig they found in a bin or something?

Amazing how this looks already better than Inafune's Mighty Number 9.

Ok is not just the name of the game I guess

Yikes. Well if Capcom isn't going to do it, I guess someone else should.

Looks good.
A little derivative, artwise, but so is Mighty no.9 in some respects.
$15/$20 min buy-in is an allright price as well. Pledged.
(note: I HAVE NEVER PLAYED A MEGAMAN GAME)

Good to see that they're going back to the drawing board. As it was, it looked extremely uninspired.

Did they really think people -- and Capcom -- wouldn't notice the ripped off sprites and assets?

This doesn't look 64 bit at all.
