It's like he was developing an established franchise, but wasn't.

The fable of the milkmaid. The milkmaid was too busy thinking in whattodo once she finished her delivery, the milk spilled and, no more farm no more dreams.

I wish some people would stop biting off more than they can chew. Ambition is fine, but being overly ambitious is a killer.

Inafune has never made a good game. He isn't the father of Mega Man. I can't fathom why Might No. 9 was ever even expected to be any good at all.

Yep. I feel like he was trying to play catchup with an entire franchise, instead of making the game, and letting people have feelings about it first

It's hilarious: the indie product was predatory, soulless and shallow, didn't give MegaMan fans what they deserved, but the corporate product was exactly what the fans wanted, needed and deserved...

And that's because the developers knew their limits and had concrete plans before they decided to crowfund it.

@@emanuelepolloni4002 exactly. Shame Inafune let his salt at Capcom and cancerous overambition for his spiritual successor blind him from making reasonable decisions.

@@HenshinFanatic And I'm pretty sure that even if the end results were successful, they wouldn't have been as popular as Megaman for two reasons: brand recognition and Capcom releasing a bunch of new Megaman games, comics, tv shows, maybe even a movie that would have diverted the attention from Mighty N.9, meaning that Inafune would have lost in the end, no matter what.

@@emanuelepolloni4002 or Capcom panics and releases dud after dud of Megaman. Could have also gone that way, just look at Koji Igarashi and Konami. Bloodstained is clearly superior to anything Konami will defecate out for official Castlevania.

@@HenshinFanatic That's true, but let's be honest here: there are many people that buy crappy games just because they see that they have the logo and characters of a popular series in it. So in the end they would have gained lots of cash despite tarnishing the characters' image.

IntiCreates tho

Inti are okay, not amazing devs. The directors and designers for MM9-10 were mostly Capcom staff. The actual directors of MN9 was a guy who had 1 credit and another who had zero credits. Meanwhile it seems that Inti put their more experienced devs on Gunvolt. Why who knows.

harizotoh7 so essentially they lied big time on being veteran mega man developers

RicKo5896 It's not a lie. They had people who worked on the game who have worked on MM1 and 2. But these were never the key people. Instead they had no names design the core game while veterans did the art/music.

harizotoh7 well that's what I'm getting at veteran's in terms of artistic designers not programmers. they essential promoted themselves as veterans but not in the area that matter. then again the signs should have been seen but nostalgia and hype blinded us badly

Even Sonic Team took a shit on Mighty No 9

@@grantkeller4634 and that's saying something

I sometimes wonder if the reason the crowdfunding was so successful because of that. I mean yeah as a Mega Man fan seeing 3 projects (Legends 3, Universe, and the Korean MMO) fall one-by-one I can't blame people for getting pissed.

plot twist: game was made to prod Capcom into making a new,better game

It was 100% built on the pretense that Keiji didn't need Capcom to make his own megaman copycat. Plenty of donations had to have been made with spiteing Capcom in mind.

well yeah. keji inafune shot for the moon and instead went down in a meteor and most likely killed the MN9 brand forever

tony flamingo chicken permission Bit of a shame. there's some ideas I like in MN9, but he did such a piss-poor job managing the thing it's most likely dead now.

I think I can agree with that one. The game was enough already, but then announcement for an anime, live-action, and Red Ash came up. He tried to handle everything as a franchise, and did it too early before the game came out. Couple that with all the problems that came with this game and there you have it.

No, it depends on the design of the actual game.

D R It’s Cheetahmen all over again.

I mean, they've made some pretty big disasters. When Sonic laughs at you, with good reason, I'd cancel your game. I wish that happened

Megaman is the only video game franchise that's more pathetic than Sonic the Hedgehog. Both are super tired concepts that were never fleshed out enough to support a 20 year franchise of QUALITY games (anyone can shit out a terrible Sonic and Megaman game, and they often do just that.) Mario does not have this problem because Mario 64 gave the franchise a new lease on life by expanding the possibilities we've seen in Sunshine, Galaxy, and Odyssey. Sonic games didn't evolve Sonic beyond shitty side characters and it's clear what that's done for the franchise. Megaman hasn't evolved the gameplay in decades beyond spin-offs.

Apparently one of the Kickstarter backers whose name appears in the credits of the game was listed as "Kamiya Was Right"

Akira Kitamura is the creator of the Mega man series, not Inafune. shmuplations.com/megaman/

I like Hideki "ask your mom." Kamiya more. Amusingly, Backer no 2572 is your mom.

marplatense31 nah man...i believe he is like george lucas...1 good idea and then add tons of shitty ideas...perhaps in megaman the team was able to stop him at some point and that makes megaman great, but when his head grew big and no one able to stop him this is what happens...shitty no 9.

If you check the kickstarters stretch goals you will notice something: THEY WERE ORIGINALLY MEANT TO LAUNCH AN INCOMPLETE GAME.

Even as a businessman though , he's a bit shit. I've worked in this industry for fourteen years, and let me tell you, there's no such thing as an "ideas factory". I meet a lot of aspiring game devs who all echo that same sentiment: they have a winning concept for a new IP, and if only they could just get their foot in the door, they'd be set for life. But that's just not how it works, and failed campaigns like MN9 highlight that beautifully. Anyone can have a good idea, but it's far rarer to bring that idea to fruition in an efficient and lucrative way. If anything, this just shows how little Inafune really understands business at all. He doesn't grasp western game design all that well (just look at any of his Western releases for proof of that), and alienated all Japanese publishers, so no one's going to give him another chance.

yeah the problem was the project was too ambitious for its own good. At least we're getting Megaman 11 now.

@Tony C 1. 2D graphics are more expensive than 3D models (if you can believe that) 2. It wasn't just one game. It was also a sequel, a movie, a cartoon series, a manga, and many other things. Also, let's not forget the game was being made on many different platforms with varying degrees of power. All on $3 million.

Sadly.

Klonoa7H A phrase that I know very well, for reasons. :P

How the hell ain't he a creator?

Because he isn't the creator of Mega Man, yet takes all the fame for it.

Hardly. He may not have been the initial creator of the character of Mega Man, but he certainly is the one responsible for the series and has given credit to the one who did make the character. He talks about his mentor and everything in the Mega Man Complete Works Artbook.

Ah, but then you would be damning yourself. Word is that the reason MM 11 was being developed was because Capcom saw the high demand due to MN9. Sometimes history has to follow it's course. :P

You're still with that...Ben Judd screwed that one up badly.

Frizzurd Frizzurd people mess up sometimes from time to time that's life. Inafune messes up. Oh well life goes on. It's not the end of the world. Yet people are still continuing to vent and rage because their investment ultimately wasn't truly repaid with a game that was supposed to live up to it. Does sound like you, since you've posted a few comments. I know I have, but there's a difference. I'm just one guy who has an opinion and try to talk about things, learn from them and ultimately just enjoy myself on the internet, and slowly not caring what other people think when they go at it and lose it. I don't know about you, but so far, all you got is cynical comments. Maybe you supported this game but felt betrayed or someone who just was watching the kickstarter campaign. Your right to voice your complaints, but you don't know people that you think you do, it's in your mind, but we don't know that much that happened other than what we know from people so far.

Red Ash is dead the mighty number 9 port for the 3Ds and Vita is also dead

Kellen Mastick tell that to fucking yakuza

crap

Yeah, spend it on gamer girl bathwater instead.

In fact forget the game!!!

at first i thought they were gonna make a pokemon knockoff (Red as in Pokemon Red, which was also the characters name in game, and Ash like the character of the show)

I actually backed the Red Ash Kickstarter, I knew that it was always meant to be the Megaman Legends equivalent of MN9. When the Kickstarter flopped though, I actually though to myself "Yeah, maybe Inafune should focus on making MN9 great first before he does anything else".

This is true. And if I recall, he was only an artist for the first two games. He did create Proto Man though.

Thing is, I don't think Inafune's ever even referred to himself "the father of Megaman", it was always magazines and whatnot doing that. I don't think anyone can deny his importance in the franchise though, some of his earliest memories working in the industry was working on Megaman, and he ended up being the guy pushing the franchise really hard in its later years as a producer. For all his faults, without him I'm pretty sure a ton of those games would've never gotten made.

so who is the father of Mega Man?

It really depends on how you define that, but most would say Akira Kitamura. The first Mega Man only had 6 people working on it and the descriptions Inafune gave on how games were developed back then meant that every member had to have a versatile skill set. When Inafune joined the team the character Mega Man himself was already designed by Kitamura, who was the senior member and director of the game. Inafune would later do some of the more detailed artwork of Mega Man, which is why some people refer to him as the "father". It was a team effort if you ask me, and Inafune himself usually mentions that when its brought up. BTW Inafune pulled out 2 of those 6 people who work on Mega Man 1 (3 if you include himself) to be staff for Mighty No. 9. Another reason why the game was such a disappointment- it felt like the game had everything going for it yet it ended up being mediocre.

@Dongled He "created" Proto Man the same way he "created" Zero. He had a basic idea for a new character (or a new Mega Man in the case of Zero) and then an actually talented artist cleaned up his mediocre designs.

It's a term that didn't originate with MN9, it's just a slang term that got picked up... somehow. The Friday the 13th Kickstarter referred to those who pitched in afterwards as "slasher backers" since they didn't like the connotations of "slacker."

Slacker backer isn't meant to be negative, it's meant to be anyone who donates to the project after the campaign ends. Also, MN9 didn't create that. You have so many reasons to harp on this project, you hardly need to make shit up about it like that.

Friday could call me a piece of shit and i would still toss my money at them, the game is amazing

The word slacker is negative when describing a customer, consumer, backer. In fact I don't think there are many circumstances where the adjective slacker is a compliment or meaningless description of an individual. Definition of slacker 1 : a person who shirks work or obligation; especially : one who evades military service in time of war 2 : a person and especially a young person who is perceived to be disaffected, apathetic, cynical, or lacking ambition slacker adjective "Slacker."

And for those who say this is bullshit...who were the main ones treating gamergate like the boogeyman-gaming journalists-who was the target of gamergate-gaming journalists. Seriously its connecting 2 and 2 together why journalists would lie about gamergates intentions... "why would journalists lie about people who are criticizing said journalists and calling them out on their shit ethics and morals and lack of unbiased honesty and constantly shitting on gamers and pissing on everything they love and claim to speak for gamers and cause companies and indie developers to make knee jerk reactions and focus on bullshit priorities like reminding people that women are badass rather than just letting good gameplay and badass actions speak for themselves-not doing any research which leads to pretending characters like samus aran dont exist and-" do you see where im going with this. Gaming journalists essentially cant take criticism which leads to them slandering a movement that is calling said journalists out on their bullshit. These are people filled with intolerance yet try to preach tolerance...which leads to gamergate being seen as the devil by the public. And hell there is no point in even talking gamergate-since once gamergate started it awakened a beast that is screeching its name like its voldemort 24/7 and since most people dont do theyre research it led go gamergate being attacked (yet gamergate were the ones attacking people though) and now its dead at this point...it has spread into smaller movements.... Yet these journalists love beating a dead horse cause even though gamergate has been dead for 1-2 dead years now they still speak about it like its still going because they wouldnt have a boogeyman to sing songs about if they let the dead horse be buried already. Appabend has talked about the topic mutiple times bringing up whats bullshit about the hatred against the movement that kept me informed since gaming journalism is cancer at this point...to the point it has become something you would see on south park rather than anything in reality. Seriously go watch Appabend and just be amazed by the stupid shit journalists spew out of their manchild lips.

YAAAASSSSS

I dunno. I think you could argue that the communication was too much as well. Gamers don't want to know about all the tedium of writing and porting netcode to 12 platforms. When you show it to them, they just get frustrated. Everyone gets frustrated. Even the guy writing it gets frustrated. "This shouldn't be taking so long! Get it done! Why could this possibly be taking so long!"

@@wesful1 Nice shill attempt, but they were ghosts for much too long yet were denying refunds with punctual quickness, had to do direct bank charge back to force a refund through. What gamers want to hear is up to individual gamers, not you. Netcode? Multiplayer was not originally even asked for, this is something the team pimped themselves in an attempt to get more money out of suckers, and to raise the retail price in stores, IE, their own fault, as were their release dates on multiple platforms.

So is it just me or initially did they intend for the art style to be exactly like their earlier concepts? There were animation poses, attack poses, etc. The switch to 3D killed the entire thing for me. It removed how charming it would have been.

Orbital Frame Derek mentioned that she was alleged to remove comments from supporters. Look into it yourself, it wasn't the biggest point for the video.

He did not really go into all of it but she used the backer forum to ban anyone who disagreed with the things she wanted to be in the game and everything that backers wanted to send email wise to the team went through her. it didn't help that peoples posts on the forum also were edited. Other topics she banned were along the lines of people asking why they could not get refunds/why is the game being delayed so many times etc

It had more to do with ties she had rather than the fact of vagina. They say you can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep. She kept poor company. She also was assumed to try and take control of the situation from Inafune. Basically forcing him to make concessions in order to keep her on board, or at least that's the rumor. Mostly due to a claim that the 'female Beck' was an official change, however that proved to be bunk. Basically it had a lot to do with rumor rather than something that could be proven one way or another, however she did have feminazi ties and that led to her downfall.

When you use words like "feminazi" you have no credibility.

culwin How so?

@@Neverhoodian who was the father of mega man

SpongebobPlushieStuff Akira Kitamura bears that distinction. While Inafune assisted by making detailed artwork of Kitamura's original pixel design, he didn't come up with the idea for the character.

he's half the father, as he designed a couple of MM games like 1, 2, 3 (I think?), X, and X2. Otherwise, he was the series producer (minus X6, which he had no involvement in)

Multiplayer was impossible to find a match on even at launch unless you set up a match with a friend who was also stupid enough to buy this dumpster fire. And then it turned out that the multiplayer mode they kept delaying the entire game for was even more broken than the main game.

you and me both

I got burned on two different kickstarter projects. I didn't put in much but one project never materialized and the guy(s) took off with the money. Another one I got the game but the game was terrible and it took the creators over a year to deliver on promises (not even stretch rewards). I am done with all Kickstarter campaigns.

You gotta keep in mind that there have been great kickstarters and that theyre not all made by the same person. Just make sure you check - Are they experienced? - Do they show the project off? - Do they seem well organised? - Are they playing within their limits? For as much as I want and believe they'll be good, its why I didnt back Shenmue 3 or Bloodstained either. It meant I was able to confidently back Yooka Laylee though

Of course I keep that in mind, but I have personally backed a few projects Games: Mighty Number 9 Timespinner Shantae: Half-Genie Hero Legend of Iya A Hat in Time CRYAMORE Other Let's Throw The Best Gaming Party in The World AGAIN! SGC3 Cat Ear Headphones Of everything I've backed, SGC3, Cat Ear Headphones and Mighty Number 9 are the only ones to have been released. SGC3 was good, Cat Ear Headphones were absolute shit and Mighty Number 9 was absolute shit. Shantae is coming out soon so maybe that will restore my faith, but right now, I feel like everything I've backed except for SGC, have been a waste of money.

I played the demo a while ago, and the Shantae game feels exactly that - a Shantae game. If you keep your expectations at that level I think you will be fine. But yes, I completely understand the sting of kickstarter. If I back anything, it won't be for much money in case things go south. It's always a gamble.

The biggest irony is the fact that there was also the arrogant trailer ad line that showed the nastiest stuff, i mean..like Daikatana's: "JJohn romero is about to make you his bitch" Mighty 9: "Make the bad guys cry like an anime fan on prom night"

I need to see them do it, saying it isn't enough.

god that era was so indescribably cringe

unfortunately the game is horribly flawed at the very based mechanics. Game Soup is currently doing a series of just what went wrong with the game.

You know I realized that people can talk trash and even assume the truth, when the assumptions is the mother of all screw ups. I took it all with a grain of salt, knowing I don't know Inafune, and neither does anyone else who claims to think to know him from his actions with Capcom and Comcept. Over the years, I just stopped caring what some people think at times, because it's all trash talking in the end, the constantly try to say what they think is the truth. Call me a fool, but mostly people have been foolish for some part of their lives other than just with gaming. MN9 is a failure and that's the truth. Sometimes even those who been with what they worked on have a chance of failing. I don't know Inafune and never will. And I'm not going to act like it because of one stupid game. And that's all this thing was. A game that should have been a lot better, but it isn't.
