Mighty No. 9 (Over $4 Million funded!)

Care to uh..elaborate on what this even is?

 

What is this?

 

A bit of Googling and I found this

It's only a big deal if you are a fan of the Megaman series (as I am) and it's even sweeter if you hate Capcom (As I do)

Inafune is the creator of Megaman. He quit Capcom, or was fired, or whatever, but he used to work for capcom. Over the years, Capcom has screwed up Megaman time and time again, turning it from fine games to garbage (In some cases).

One of the many series hadn't been turned into garbage, Megaman Legends (It only had 2 games... If it'd had more Capcom would have ruined it probably.)
Inafune asked for about a million to do MML3, an expected game, with lots of support from the community, Capcom gave it the axe mid-development.
Inafune leaves, and starts this project, Mighty Number 9. It's basically some sort of Megaman homage. He asks the community for 900.000, gets 4 million instead. And Capcom has like 150 millions only now, and that amount keeps decreasing. Oh, well.

Also, this games looks like it'll be sick. It looks very good. I'm glad Inafune's doing something like this.

 

I really thought they wouldn't reach the handheld version goal, but they did. So yeah, awesome! I'll definitely consider the 3DS version once it comes out, although I want to see which art style they'll be using for it first.

 

As you know how I am still on the boarderline of questioning the game itself and how it's like. Plus as to how skeptical I am about it seeming like it's very close to how Megaman plays. I am still rather curious to see how it turns out. I do like the character designs a lot as well as how clean-cut the 3d looks. (And for once it's not PIXELS!) I am tempted to either try out a demo (if they release one) or even tempted to purchase the game. Hopefully it'll be really fun to play.
