Just kidding it's pretty much Mega Man.
Topic: Inafune kickstarting game that totally isn't Mega Man

Just kidding it's pretty much Mega Man.
As I was telling Wind in chat, the most impressive thing to me is that they've got IntiCreates on board to handle the development. Those are the guys who made the entire Zero and ZX series, plus Mega Man 9 and 10. That, more than anything else, gives me the impression that this game could really be something nice.

Above all else I hope this gets funded just so Capcom can feel dumb about canceling all the MM projects.
Less than 16 hours after the project began, we're at 500,000+. That's more than 50% of the 30 day goal. This is happening. I told you, Doc. Within 48 hours it's be done. And I guarunte we're gonna hit that top stretch goal of 2.5 million. We've already hit one fifth of that in under a day.
EDIT - Project is funded in less than 48 hours total time. Now working on stretch goals.

Just reached over a million dollars.
Tri-Edge and I, and bout 30 of our collective facebook friends have just been sitting at our computers cheering at the number going up. About every 20 minutes Tri-Edge or I will yell ANOTHER TWO THOUSAND! from the other room. I'm pretty sure we're about as excited as if we were receiving the money ourselves.
Thus leading to some much needed exposure once the game actually gets released for all to purchase and play. Good job, team.

I so want this game. I'd love it if it came to Android.

It's been a month, folks - and what a crazy month indeed. We saw a reorganization of the stretch goals several times over, but overall I'm excited as hell at how this has turned out. Today saw the breaching of the 3.5 MILLION dollar mark, ensuring that we will have a PS Vita version of the game. MORE importantly, we will have a 3DS version of the game, which is something we actually CARE about. We are guarunteed current AND next generation console releases. I am more excited today for gaming in general than I have been in well on a decade.
If it's not too hard, I might actually get Mighty 9 on 3DS.
And we're getting a chiptune-remixed version of the soundtrack! Hurray!

Competitive and co-op play, multiple soundtracks, available on every platform and handheld... Mighty No. 9 is going to have a lot of things people have wished Mega Man games had.
And now with a live action movie...? Whaaaaaaat?

They're now going for more funding and an animated series!
With a 6-11 target age for the TV show, that's something that I'd most likely skip over... but hey, it could get some kids excited about blue robots fighting bad guys!

Inafune releasing beta that totally doesn't look bad visually, has bad music, almost no actual platforming and a maximum of three enemies on the screen at all times.
Just kidding he just did all that.
WHAT HAPPENED.
Loss of the kickstarter funding, I think. There's been some major controversy over the game lately, and people pulled their support. Some of it had something to do with GamerGate, IIRC, but the main issue was the person selected as the go-between for the developers and fans/supporters being one of the worst possible choices.
It's hard to say if the music is bad: its sound is too low compared to the sound effects, so it's barely noticeable. Here's hoping for some volume controls. What stands out to me is how utterly bland the dialog font is, but they're currently in beta: there's plenty of time to change that later on.
Besides, I was expecting you to post something else...
Inafune announcing new character that totally isn't Zero.
Just kidding its pretty much Zero.

Live Action movie in the works
I wasn't sure if I should post this here or in the Bad Movies topic, because I'm really not sold on the idea of live action for this. This is even more notable since an anime series is supposedly in the works, which seems like a better match...
