A special message from Keiji Inafune: Mighty No. 9 Funded!

www.mightyno9.com
Prolific creator Keiji Inafune addresses backers of his "Mighty No. 9" Kickstarter project after hitting the 900k goal.

[@ReneandKnuckles]

Inafune was the Reason why Capcom went downhill. Now, we're here, seeing Capcom rebuild the trust that Inafune blew up. Good fucking riddance ConMan.

[@aidalopezbenayas2087]

Megaman will be in our hearts forever, and Mighty is awesome! We love you, Comcept!

[@jedifan65]

And then the game was released

[@mental263]

My how time changes. I remember feeling happy for megaman fans when this was first announced. Now I feel even worse for them.

[@Azurefanger]

he always was a bunisses man not a game designer

[@GPN007a]

lol i remember getting shitted on years ago for blaming inafune for the demise of the Mega Man brand. Now look at this clown already killing the spiritual successor.

[@thomasc9248]

Three years later, but can you tell me, what you had on your mind, that it was inafunes fault for megamans demise? I always thought Capcom didn't give a shit.

[@alphabees]

I am glad and proud to back this game and him along with his team. This game will not be out for a long LONG time (2015) but still, good things come to those who wait.

[@ImDeadAtBirth]

To the team: THANK YOU for giving the fans what we have been waiting for. I am a proud backer of your project and wish the team the best.

[@bonehead8803]

Yeah thanks for nothing

[@zacmidnigh]

A very big thank you to Inafune and the team...you guys are truly coming up with a terrific game. Can't wait to play it and hopefully on consoles! The game is now coming to Macs and Linuxes and close to including a New Game Plus and Turbo Mode as well. If anyone wants to know more, check out the Kickstarter page for Mighty No. 9 through Google. Hopefully all goes well! :)

[@Zantetsudex]

That genuine smile on his face, he's as happy as we are this game is being made. c:

[@liampendergast8670]

Good for you Keiji Inafune you have accomplished more in 4 days then then most Kickstarters do. I hope Capcom looks at this and see it's more then DLC and Sequels.

[@Krausen2]

This is what not only the gaming industry needs but the whole world, a man that LOVES what he does in the most honest way, you can tell by the way he smiled and enjoys so much what he wants/ does. He looks like a happy a kid ( and he is japanese!). Go Inafune!

[@sonicbrawler182]

I HAD SUCH A NICE FEELING INSIDE, SEEING HOW GENUINELY HAPPY HE IS.

[@andrewyuncker]

Yeah?

[@EXEGUNSO]

im just happy as hell to see things going well for keiji and comcept, that alone is the only thing i want as a fan

[@BurnedZero]

It's incredible the way you can tell he's happy and thankfull!! I really feel happy for him because you can sense his enormous pasion for this proyect... the world needs people like him!

[@Scerttle]

Thank you so much to Inafune for striking out on his own to give the fans the game they want, and thank you to 2PP for being a part of the Kickstarter :)

[@BLADEMASTER342]

The time has come that we as the fans of megaman shall bring what we should have had years ago, a game made by inafune that will remind us why we love his games and why capcom will regret treating him poorly, for we are the ones who want to see this successor of the character we loved since we were young hold the torch that has been passed on by his big brothers, that shall live on in our hearts. Megaman. God Speed Inafune

[@PaulBosanova]

I'm glad to be backing such a dream project, I can't wait to see more. These are exciting times knowing what's in the pipe line. Many thanks to the Mighty Number 9 team.

[@Nintendon85]

I regret, I couldn't help with the Kickstarter. Even so, I support Keiji Inafune and will be buying this when it comes out.

[@L0RDZETTA]

The excitement and love he shows for what he does is enough to make anyone want to help with this game. I'm glad to help with this game and can't wait to see more of it.

[@yumyumeatemup]

Awesome awesome work Mr Inafune! You and the dev team deserve every penny! Now then onward to 2.5 million!

[@negativesanchez]

look at the happiness on this mans face just to be able to bring the world the game they've been waiting so long for and the game HE has been waiting so long for, I imagine. I hope to obtain this hapiness someday. rock on mr. inafune :) we're with you all the way!

[@DontKnowDontCare6.9]

Hes happy coz he thought he was building a mass media empire with out ever releasing a good game. But hes still happy after failing. He got the money, released an uncooked game and ran. "Youll never see me again suckers!"

[@OtisTheTerrorhorn]

I soooooooo want the 2PP documentary! They did such a good work on everything I have seen so far! Absolutely LOOVED their work at double fine!

[@rshepherd80]

We gotta keep finding this good people this has to reach the home consoles this game could be legendary!

[@DuoDynamo]

This is the first time in my life I've been so jealous of someone for having dinner with a man.

[@TheFearlessbro]

Congratulations on the very successful kickstarter. Amazing dream come true to see a veteran of the industry with many talented people and the fans together being able to make the game the fans always wanted. =)

[@supernet2ec2]

I cried a little bit, im so damn happy man, im so damn happy. A product that may not be megaman legends, but something that superseeds all of the megaman/rockman series itself. Im proud to call myself a megaman fan, and more proud to be a fan of this mans great work. I look forward to you man, and i cannot wait to get paid this friday, cant wait to back you with at least $100 if not more to offer my support financially. So excited

[@zaldare]

Really cool to see Mark Macdonald amongst them. Guess hes taking care of the translation bit, no? The only guys missing are Ryan Payton and Kenichiro so you can start recording a Mighty No- podcast for the fans ;-)

[@rockman229]

let´s go for the 2,500,000. ,we are with you keiji

[@andromadan1378]

Thank you Keiji Inafune for making a spiritual successor to MegaMan. I can't wait to see this game on the console port.

[@SSBMGR8]

I wish all game creators had your passion and devotion to their fans and their work. Thank you so much for your hard work. Though after seeing you Dev video no. 1 I'm sure it's hardly work with the amazing attitude you are bringing to the project. I do hope that Capcom will not come around and try to stifle you with any cease and desist orders. You, your team, and all of us that love your work all deserve this to go along without a hitch.

[@ChiefMagitek]

Thank YOU Inafune-san and everyone at Comcept, for bringing back the Japanese Side-Scroller into the limelight!

[@MastaGambit]

This is so heart-warming. Inafune looks so damn happy.

[@TeamBelmont91]

Because he ran off with your money. :y

[@AlucardsQuest]

Good news, and even the first stretch goal has been reached, thank you Inafune as well as all the backers! Can't forget them!!!

[@taisenbaisen1564]

Seeing Inafune happy makes me happy.

[@LilDrFiz]

Thank you inafune sun, I hope we can overpass all the goals

[@DoesAThing]

Congratulations! You deserve it!

[@ReneandKnuckles]

DoesAThing They don't.

[@BornFlunky]

This game and project are both looking incredibly awesome. I'm worried it might be too obscure to sell as well as it should, both in name and manner of announcement, but still. Awesome.

[@C4DNerd]

It's only been 4 days and it already has $1,332,452 pledged of their $900,000 goal. This has the potential to be the most funded kickstarter project 0_0

[@kevinkun]

We love you Inafune-san. I will wait for this game

[@unknownartist7204]

thank u for making progress for mighty no.9 and i assure u i shall play it someday

Truer words were never spoken. I second everything you've said.

[@mariotaz]

Nearly $2 million now with 22 days to go. Awesome!

[@SayHenshinagogobaby]

Megaman didn't die, it lives in Inafune. HE IS MEGAMAN

[@quicktooth1]

Congratulations team!! Your hard work and faith in yourselves have ALREADY paid off!! You sure deserve it- your games are wonderful and you are all clearly wonderful people. You were right, all along!! This new project really is somehow the same (that we've all loved), AND new (as we need) at once. Astonishing accomplishment. I'm already very exited about it, and on only the concept art and team! Thankyou so much for persisting and going it alone!! We'd never have the games we want without you!!

[@CrownedClown15]

I love how amazingly honest he/they are, I mean Inafune-san is grinning, he is genuinely excited to work on this game with his team and create something to be proud of.

[@bonehead8803]

He was grinning for a different reason

[@DarkEinherjar]

Stretch goal for console releases has been lowered to $2,200,000... less than $700,000 left now! C'MON, PEOPLE! KEEP PLEDGING! WE'RE ALMOST THERE!

[@DarkEinherjar]

Now that I think of it, the funding date will be one day before my birthday... oh, my, this is going to be one hell of a birthday! :D

[@PheareanKnight]

I feel amazing for helping carry on Megaman's legacy, even if all I put forward was $20. Here's to another reincarnation of the Blue Bomber!

[@kblazerss]

Yes!!! This is a glorious day for megaman/mighty no. 9 fans everywhere!!

[@Faxtron]

We need this game on consoles. Please people help Inafune to make Mighty 9 a true reality in our consoles. Its a dream to me playing this game in my Wii U in offtv mode with the Gamepad.

[@xwingvmanx]

Good luck Inafune! I expect one of the first stretch goals to be Might No. 9 Legends =P

[@MegaRay0]

Yeah pretty much, i was sad (in the first video) when he were talking about the cancellation of megaman and how he felt back then

[@Vincentvondoom]

I hope we get Call as a playable bonus character, or some kind of crazy multiplayer mode.

[@WeLoveClassicGames]

Hopefully it will go over the $2,500,000 mark so we can play this game on the 3DS, Wii U, PS3 and Xbox 360.

[@gigaslave]

You have my money on Steam, and if a cart version on the 3DS appears, I shall buy that as well, Mr Inafune.

[@GhoullyXX]

"only?" At this rate, the goal will be met in half that time!

[@lotssatire]

That is the face of pure joy.

[@SleepDeprivedEzOne]

The kickstarter is slowing down. We need more backersss to reach the awesome stretch goals!!!!!

[@MachineLaw]

Thank to YOU as well Inafune-san and 8-4 Play!

[@SteveDonev]

even if u don't like me megaman games, u owe it to yourself to pick this one up. this is history in the making and something you can talk about and show off to fellow gamers for years to come.

[@AgentCell]

We only got 27 days left to go. Make each dollar count people. You know what to do!

[@NikoBelic4]

Okay people, now that the funding part is almost over, we gotta do all the legwork in making this game known to all the masses. That includes a large amount of fan art, remixes of the theme, flash cartoons, or just plain word of mouth, we got to give the game the Demon Souls treatment, and get this game to be a commercial success. We the fans have to do the advertising, and promotion. This might be our only chance to see "Mega Man" get the true justice he deserves! We cannot let this game fail!

[@KoKuTanLuFi]

Arigatou gozaimasu Inafune-san (ありがとうございます)

[@vicious0111]

I'm so happy for him. Damn that Capcom for putting him through what they did bashing every idea and every FAN base ideas. That is what you called KARMA Capcom is on life support and now Keiji is coming back even better.

[@bonehead8803]

Karma work in a completely different way

[@RivenX3i]

[@Holammer]

Windows/Linux/Mac for now. There is a Kickstarter stretch-goal (2.5mil) for PS3/360/WiiU versions. Should be met in a couple of days.

[@IceKiller159]

Just gotta keep soaring higher!

[@MetalSlime19]

Thank you so much Inafune-San! \( T-T )/

[@JonathanFerGold]

Attention fellow Beckers and Inafune fans: Tomorrow is September 9th (9/9), where we should gather the courage to up our pledges by at least 9 or more in any amount. Whether it be $900, $90, $9, $0.09.... Any amount. Even $0.09 from every backer if they can't give more, would make a difference. Also tomorrow would be a great time to donate to the Mighty No. 9 Kickstarter for the first time if you haven't already. Let us help Inafune-san detoxify the gaming industry of its cancer. Arigato.

[@KarasawaL30]

This video gave me feels.

[@DarkEinherjar]

Only $24,000 left to the next stretch... needs moar support. I'm still hoping to see it hit the $2,500,000 mark.

[@LIGERZER0X1]

The project's successful? YYYYEEESSSSS!!!!!!!

[@Numberosi]

. . .

[@rweebow]

So glad I backed this!

[@DarkEinherjar]

$600,000 left until ultimate goal is reached...

[@Putuk22]

I'm on the fanarting this very moment!! I also backed the project with 20$, which I feel I owe Inafune at the very least for all the hours of entertainment I and my friend had with the classic Mega Man games for the NES. They were my friends games, so I didn't pay a cent.

[@TeamBelmont91]

What did we learn, class? :^)

[@giogio6985]

I hope Megaman gets handed over to Inafune So then both Mighty No9 AND Megaman can be in some awesome game with both of them!

Ten people have a gaping black void where their heart should be.

[@BoolXor]

I'm gonna buy a console and pc version of this game...Next year is gonna be awesome.

[@a_dogpgh]

This isn't a rally against Capcom, Comcept is even thanking them. "There are no losers in our success here, and no bad guys to rail against. We all know that none of the amazing stories and fond memories you've all been sharing would've ever been possible without the games that came before us, the developers who created them, and the companies who promoted and sold and spread them throughout the world." ". So we salute them -- as we do all of you -- Beck-style, with two fingers! (｀_´)ゞ"

[@drs4983]

It doesn't look like it will make it in time, but if it sells good on current consoles they might get a next gen version later
