Anyway, Capcom hasn't been treating it's little blue robot very well recently. The closest thing we have had to a Megaman game was Street Fighter X Megaman, which is fine but it's a fan game and didn't really have anything to do with Capcom from a development standpoint. I think we also had that Megaman XOver thing or whatever it was called which was a auto scrolling game that bascially played itself for the iPad. Not to mention Megaman Legends 3 getting cancelled which a lot of people were upset about, so let's just say that the poor guy hasn't been having a good run.
So, what I can only imagine was a case of people being sick of Capcom's shit, Keiji Inafune and a bunch of other people have taken to the internet to crowd fund their upcoming project "Mighty No9", a Megaman game in everything but name. Basically they took Megaman and changed everything just a little bit to avoid being sued, but not enough so that people won't know what's going on.
I'm not going to talk about the game itself here because one google search will get you a wealth of information on that, so go look up their kickstarter page which has already met it's goal. The only thing I'm going to say is that I'm hype as hell and I'm glad this has happened. It's been far far too long since we had a good Megaman game and even though this isn't QUITE the same, it's close enough to qualify. Capcom sure as hell aren't going to do it so let's hope Inafune and his buddies can bring back the magic.
