Kickstarter a Go for Keiji Inafune’s Mega Man Inspired ‘Mighty No. 9’

So what did you think of Inafune’s presentation? Pretty interesting stuff to say the least! Mighty No. 9 is intended to be an all new Mega Man-inspired game, and once again the fans are called on to help out! A Kickstarter has begun to fund the new project:

• Mighty No. 9 is an all-new Japanese side-scrolling action game that takes the best aspects of the 8- and 16-bit era classics you know and love, and transforms them with modern tech, fresh mechanics, and fan input into something fresh and amazing!

• You play as Beck, the 9th in a line of powerful robots, and the only one not infected by a mysterious computer virus that has caused mechanized creatures the world over to go berserk. Run, jump, blast, and transform your way through six stages (or more, via stretch goals) you can tackle in any order you choose, using weapons and abilities stolen from your enemies to take down your fellow Mighty Number robots and confront the final evil that threatens the planet!

This is not a new Mega Man game, and has no relation to the franchise or Capcom. But we think fans of Mega Man will be very excited about it all the same. Let us know your thoughts on the announcement, and if you like, support!
