Console Obsession says: "Keiji Inafune is an ex-Capcom employee and was once very much involved in the seminal Mega Man series, and his new game, Mighty No. 9, takes heavy inspiration from the Blue Bomber. It’s almost as if the legendary game designer was unable to – or didn’t want to – leave his past behind him, although his newest game is no simple Mega Man clone. Following the cancellation of Mega Man Legends 3 and his departure from Capcom, Keiji Inafune intended to make a spiritual successor to Mega Man, and over 67,000 Kickstarter backers made the game possible. Announced back in 2013, Mighty No. 9 was funded through a highly successful campaign, which resulted in developer Comcept having a total of $3.8 million to play with."
It's finally over
Man, what a let down this was. I don’t even want to admit what I added to the crowd fund… let’s just say I learned a valuable lesson.
Mighty No. 9 and Mega Man 11 are two games that tried to fill a very big gaming hole, and the story behind it all is even more interesting. So which game wore the Mega Man dress better? Jason Capp is here with some retrospective thoughts upon his 2022 playthroughs.
Only tried the demos for both and mighty 9 looked atrocious. Megaman 11 was fun and polished. Never played both full versions but will see it they are on PS Extra when i get home.
Mostly get my megaman fix playing the azure gunvolt games and spin offs. And Maverick Hunter X on my Vita.
Just tried Mighty No 9 again on PSExtra...graphics are atrocious and taking down enemies by dashing into them feels so hollow.
Kickstarter has allowed game developers all over the world to bring their respective visions to life, while AAA Studios remains out of touch.
This is very true. Companies like EA, UBI, MS seem to be disconnected from what fans want.
Um I’m not too sure about that check how well those games sold besides the money they got from Kickstarter they didn’t sell nearly as much as most games from publishers (AAA or not).
The unfortunate reality is these days games like Shenmue 3 and Bloodstained are incredibly niche and the only way it could survive is by use of a fan funded website like Kickstarter.
