    SO MUCH HYPE FOR ME RIGHT NOW! THIS LOOKS AMAZING!

    It feels so Mega Man esque that the fanboy in me requires I watch the news of this and possibly buy it.

    I have been COMPLETELY over the moon about this ever since it was announced you don't even know

    Arguably the whole thing's a little bittersweet because... Well none of the lore or characters can be the same obviously, but the spirit is still there. I am so excited. I'm definitely going to back this if I'm able.

    The wait's gonna suck though. 2015 ;~; But I'm all for a long wait if it results in an awesome product.

    I actually really like the art of this, it reminds me a lot of the recent Rayman games in terms of colour and lighting in a basically 2D environment.
    I don't quite understand the aim to release it on PS3 and 360 if they reach that goal, those consoles are going to be last gen soon. Thought it would be smarter to aim for a Vita and 3DS route of benchmarks.

    Welp, it's obvious that this won't have any trouble reaching its goals lol. I'm going to donate when I can. I'm an immense fan of Mega Man, and while this new game won't be exactly the same (characters and whatnot), I have no problem with a spiritual successor. I'm sure it's going to be awesome.


    Also, lol at the reward for pledging more than 10k
    "Dinner with Inafune". It'd be like a dream come true.

    LOL he is just bitchslaping Capcom right? The entire plot reminds me of a Mega man X (3 or 4 don't recall which).. the thing about chose the stage and take the weapons from enemies XD! (Which I wouldn't do, If I was the only non infected robot taking parts of robots that I know are infected!).

    The strange thing for me is that he has being doing some great things other than mega man (Like Soul Sacrifice that will have a sequel!), Is like he doesn't like what capcom is doing to his game, and not just want to show that he can do a better job then theirs, but also using this kickstart just to show them how much money they could be doing.. is like a "IN YOUR FACE, YOU GOT BURNED!" .

    But I want it bad ç.ç (or Mega man X , back, whichever gets out).

    Well, I'm just going to post this right now and say that I did an estimation(a very rough one) of how many backers and money would go into this per hour. 300 backers and $16,000 an hour. This would leave us with about 12,700 backers and $747,000 right now. I cut the estimation down with both rates because I figured it'd only get slower. Luckily, I undershot it and people seem to be doing a better job at funding this than I anticipated.

    12,793 backers with $755,097 pledged. I'll update the original post once the first goal has been met and continue doing it if the other ones are as well.

    Keep going strong, Inafune.

    More like the WayForward artstyles than Rayman.

    Updated the first post. First goal has been made. Looks like this game is going to come out! We're not done yet though. $900,000 is not enough for this game. From the FAQ on their kickstarter:

    This only guarantees us six bosses! More is needed for eight.

    Glad to see people still respect Mega Man at this level.

    Always been one of my favorite franchises, and feel it truly is the embodiment of gaming. I'm glad it's progressing still. And I'm glad there are people here making such a big deal over this.[DOUBLEPOST=1378193778][/DOUBLEPOST][​IMG]

    We may not be ready to make the game for Capcom, but boy us MM fans will sure fund it!
