When it’s all said and done, Red Ash and its Kickstarter campaign might go down as the biggest disasters in crowdfunding history. Cliqist takes a look at how it went so bad.
Keiji Inafune was once a legendary and iconic game developer, but after the disaster of Mighty No. 9 and the failure of Red Ash, he's disappeared.
I lost so much respect for this guy. I am still bitter over Mighty No. 9 and not getting the backer rewards as promised. All I've gotten was what was promised in the lowest tier with a t shirt and a dumb plushie.
Have you guys seen the latest comments on the MN9 Kickstarter page? Lots of backers still haven't gotten their rewards.

yea I'm in that tier and it doesn't look like we will get them. Honestly I quit doing Kickstarters because of this game. A "signature edition" came out at retail for $60 (I think). I did one of those upper tier backings with a reward of a cartridge, art book, and all kinds of stuff.
Yea all I got was a digital code for the game, a DLC skin for the wrong platform, a t-shirt, and a plushie...
Red Ash is the spiritual successor to Mega Man Legends, but did it's development cause Mighty No.9 to become the flop that it is? Let's find out!
After Red Ash's failed Kickstarter and Might No. 9 running into more problems. The article looks at whether we can trust Keiji Inafune again?
"Keiji Inafune’s departure from Capcom was a long time coming. It was 23 years in the making to be precise and after creating and moulding the iconic Mega Man, Infune ended up hating his job and believing that he couldn’t influence decisions at Capcom any longer. He left behind an impressive legacy and the character he was most intrinsically linked to."
I don't know for sure. But After what happened to Red Ash kickstarter, people seem
Upset a lot.
Just look at Tim Schafer, he's also a "legend" as you like to say and we sure as hell can't trust him.
We can't? I'm playing Broken Age on Vita right now...I'd happily back him again if he were to make a sequel to it.
A lot of people think Hitler was a legend too. Would you want him coming back to rule Germany again?
Inafune hasn't been the same since he left Capcom. Working for a company with funding etc and many more resources is different to working on tight budgets and resources.
At the moment it seems he not good at handling multiple projects, crowdfunding resources and finances and prioritising.
The quality of the games will know more of if and when they release.
No! he's a money hungry! even we funded mighty no.9 but it still got a lot of problems and even it was not the same when it first announced for kickstarters.
A master class on how to alienate your fans.
