Topic: Mighty No. 9

Yeah that's why I haven't really donated either, I would only donate $5 and wait for the game to come out so I can buy it myself.  

I do wish I had a plushie though, I like plushies.

Edit: Also am I the only one who wished there wasn't a Roll Call design?

No. I'm also not to fond of Call being based heavily on Roll's design. I would of gone with either the green or pink haired versions.

And I would have like the Iris Call since I think she would look good next to Beck, plus I'm a sucker for long hair and berets for anime characters.

I'll respond when I have more free time,  as I'm at work and on my phone.

Wait, intro stage is a stretch goal? That seems kind of like it'd be necessary for the game...

[Police Girl]

Was it necessary in MM9 or 10?

[Soultrigger]

But I'm sure stuff like boss rush mode or co-op isn't requiring stretch goals.

The intermediate goals are really meant for the major ones (multiplatform, co-op). They incentivize people to pledge/convince others to pledge. If it was simply, say, 2.2mil straight to 2.75mil, there would be no sense of urgency.
If you remember, the boss rush mode was placed inbetween existing goals before it was reached, which clearly means the funding wasn't actually going towards the boss rush.
And...are you kidding me? Of course co-op costs a lot of money.

he's using fans of Megaman to create this rip-off of Megaman.

No one is denying this. And so what if he's ripping off his own creation.

As much as I want this game completed, I'm no fool, and can clearly see what he's doing here.

Anybody who says otherwise is a tool.

I feel the same people who rag on about Inafune now are the same people who believe Capcom is "killing" Mega Man to spite Inafune.

He's dedicating over a year of his life to making essentially an indie game.
He's putting his reputation on the line.
He's disclosing some of his development when Japanese gaming companies are notorious for being secretive.
He's using this game to support his past criticism against the Japanese gaming industry.

You really think his heart is in the money? You honestly think he wakes up everyday thinking "gee, I sure fooled those Mega Man fans, what a bunch of idiots".
I like Inafune, I'm not a fanboy. But this is just ridiculous.

[Rin]

A WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING IMPORTANT

I never said he's in it just for the money.

I can see he wants to create a good game, but at the same time I'm not blind to how he did all of this.
He's a sly [chameleon sting]er.
That's basically it.

And...

I don't know where are you getting this from, but I'll just assume you are not referring to me. It'll be better this way.

Ah, you're right, same <i>type</i> of people, just on different sides of the fence.

Gaming hipsters who think they're on some sort of conspiracy. Continue on with your baseless logistics.

[Rin]

Continue on with your baseless logistics.

OH U

Listen, maggot. I don't really want to argue, because my point is not to change people's mind, I was just stating my own point of view on this.

I'm not coming up with conspiracy theories, nor am I saying baseless crap.

I'm simply not a tool, like you. It's fine if you want to support it, I can't stop you. In fact, why not? But I will not be [tornado fang]ing blind to what Inafgod is really doing here.

He created a proper propaganda for his pet, dream or whatever crap, project. And it worked. Not saying it's a bad thing, some more Megaman-like gameplay is good.

But yeah, I repeat myself again, he's a sly [chameleon sting]er who knows how to manipulate.

I hope that clearls it up.

Having your own point of view does not suddenly give you the authority to flame other people. Don't be surprised people argue with you when you're the one name-calling from your high horse.

[Sakura Leic]

Seems like it's $50,000 away from the Intro Stage goal.

I like you.

This thing is blazing FAST!

[Sakura Leic]

It's because it's the last few days of it, there's always a giant push at the end of things.

Like paying monthly bills at the last minute? xD

More like doing your research paper and studying for finals at the last minute.

[Police Girl]

Good god.

I come back from work and people are [tornado fang]ing arguing against eachother for no good reason.

I'm not going to bother weighing in on this, I'll say that I just want some megaman like gameplay and I don't really care if Inafune is "manipulating" the goodwill of people because that's what all kickstarters are. I don't mind crowdfunding at all personally as its a decent way to get something that might not have the full support of a major company to people but I can see where it could be used for shitty purposes, Honestly its not like this is really that big of a deal. Yet people are blowing it WAY out of proportion.

That's basically it.

But... It's not sly... Everything you say is true... And everyone knows it. There's no trickery involved here. He said he wants to make a Mega Man knockoff, and people said "please do."

[Tsukishiro]

Greetings from the great beyond, fellow RPMers. I came a while back and saw this very thing on the forum, not to mention that I saw the whole Mighty No. 9 thing floating around the web much earlier...

Anyways, as I am finally back again, I came here to say that I've finally donated $20 so I could get a copy when it comes out.

Also, I wanted to say something about what people call "Pink Call", and that is this: remember that this game is basically a love letter to the genre that Megaman is from, and if people truly think of this as the successor to Mega Man, then one should realize one thing...

Rock = Beck
Roll = Call
Blues = ???(which is my point)

For all that we know, "Pink Call" may actually be part of a future vote towards who will play the role of Mighty No. 9's equivalent to Blues, or something...

Either that, or comcept will see how many people actually want "Pink Call" and will... well, they'll do something about it. That much I do know.


As for Tron's statements about Inafune being sly and all that, Flame's pretty much nailed it on the head and hard. People are longing for their fix of Mega Man, and the man is simply trying to fulfill that need. He knew that people wanted Mega Man, and that Capcom wasn't pulling it off for the fans, so that's why he made Beck and co. He knew that people would want this so bad that they can and will literally throw money at him just to do this. He probably has read forums like this one, and knew that this is how we felt about things. As far as I'm concerned, he knew that the whole Kickstarter thing would not only get off the ground, but would fly off so damn fast that it could reach escape velocity, hit the moon, split it in half and still keep on going. It's that simple.

[Sakura Leic]

That intro stage goal is about $20,000 away now.

[Mirby]

Sakura, you need to start counting that Paypal total...

We've already reached the intro stage goal

[Sakura Leic]

The thing is that the Paypal total only updates on a 24 hour basis, unless I have to click it to see the real total.

[Mirby]

True, but even with the current total, it still exceeds the amount needed for the intro stage goal.

[Sakura Leic]

But when I made that post the Paypal was at $54,000.

[Mirby]

Fair enough.
