Mighty No. 9 - Spiritual Sucessor to Mega Man by Keiji Inafune himself

It looks fine to me, except for the tab thing thing that blocks way too much of the screen and moves with the window. I'm wondering if that's a glitch, since it's blocking about a quarter of the window, but it seems to happen in both Fire Fox and Chrome. I agree that links would probably be more convenient, though.

New MN9 trailer.

I love how it's so...quirky. Kinda like how it references the cheesy ads from America.

Release date is now Feb 9.

There's a *new?* mode where everything will OHKO Beck..

That ohko mode is nothing new.the game was known to have this for awhile this...this is actually a good trailer. what ruins it is how desperate they sound. it's good they acknoweldge the hate its been getting, but could they have acknowledged it without going 'See?! see how fun it is?!'

I have been playing the Demo a bit. (I did not realize I have it.) It's really fun and it does not even have the boss powerups so I am looking forward to this game.

That newest trailer actually made me chuckle.

"...'One hit death maniac mode.' But that's just what we call it. You'll be calling it 'why are you doing this to me?!' "

I laughed at that part (and the 'Vernon' thing) too, lol.

Probably because I imagine the "Why are you doing this to me" being said in Beck's POV.

I would laugh even harder if Beck says that in the actual game in a rare chance during dying in the mode.

I feel it was an odd mix of Movie Trailer Deep Male Voice and Cheesy Overly Excited 90s Videogame Ad.

On the other hand, the comments are fucking entitled.

I just noticed something odd. I think the trailer showed a glimpse of the final stage.

About 18 seconds in. Cyrosphere on the right, Seismic and Brandish in the background, and Countershade on the top platform.

I thought only one will help Beck (like how Pyrogen helps Beck in Cyrosphere stage, Cyrosphere for Dynatron etc) unless this is a different stage close to the final where multiples will help Beck?

Really? ALL of them are entitled? annoying yes, but honestly its a far cry from last year and early 2015. From what I'm seeing people are getting mad that A. its not like mega man, whch does make some sort of sense. iconic as it is classic mega man is one of the simplest things to make B some people saying the game looks fun btu the grapics are awful. then theres C the trolling people who keep screaming about MEGA MAN like anyones going to listen.

To be quite honest the more people see this game the more i see 'meh' reactions, from people who have either not played megaman for years or never heard of it. adn this trailer is not helping as many people seem to find the announcer annoying( i found him funny and a nice sendup to those 90s game commercials you saw on VHS)

And lastly after playing the gunvolt demo i think i see two problems: it really is the graphics that will determine this franchise's success. It's like the 3ds's graphics. from what ive heard on forums the game looks better when not filtered through a youtube video. you have to see it for yourself.

secondly, the game looks slow compared to gunvolt. its a side effect of the 3d where they have more frames to work with, and as a result it looks slower and easier if you watch someone play on youtube or a video site.

And lastly there seem to be a growing number of people who dont like it and thinks its megaman, people who dont know the history of the game and wondering why they didn't just make a megaman game, etc.

@2332 Well, what did you expect out of YouTube comments? Reasonable discourse?

Reminder: Offscreen Villainy does not count towards Complete Monster.

Yes! I expect full-blown dissertations backed up with sources, evidence and proofs.

You Tube and the Mighty No. 9 forums are where people go to be asshats.

Twitter too. Just searching Mighty no 9 on it gives you pages and pages of hate.

Again, I feel that this game has to seriously impress, considering all the hype that has surrounded it and the major plans Inafune (who I have lost serious respect for due to his actions at Capcom) has for it. Because if it turns out to be merely So Okay, It's Average, then the backlash will intensify and I doubt he'll get the funding to make another kind of game like this again.

it probably IS going to be So Okay, It's Average, frankly.

I mean, part of that might be the public's fault for thinking this game was going to be substantially better than it realistically was going to be, but part of that might be inafune and comcept's fault in how they presented the whole thing. the red ash fiasco was also quite dumb; it was honestly kind of presumptuous to ask people money for another kickstarter project, considering the fact that MN 9 was already under scrutiny at that point, AND hadn't come out yet.

Either way, I think people have wisened up that crowdfunds carry with them a substantial amount of danger, ideal as they may look on paper.

It might be worth noting here that Capcom was hesitant to do much with Mega Man because his games weren't selling very well in the first place. Part of that might be their fault to begin with (sorry capcom, i like classic and all but it would be nice to see other/new subseries get representation as well) but they can't really be blamed for not wanting to lose more money than they already have.

Yeah, now that I've had more time to think about it, it pretty much was time to give the MM franchise a bit of a rest. And it's not like they've completely abandoned it, as they are still cranking out merchandise and spin-off material for it. Now if only they'd release an X Legacy Collection.....

And this is why hype is a bad thing.

And I'm concerned at this point that the Mega Man fandom might be headed the way of the Sonic fandom — into unpleasable territory, basically. There are more Mega Man games, yes, and more places for it to go, but there is just a significant number of Mega Man fans that seem to feel perfectly justified in being seriously (not just facetiously) angry at Capcom for perceivedly snubbing their favorite franchise.

i don't necessarily think they are unpleasable as the sonic fanbase. even with all the sub-series, most fans have a consensus on what games are good and what games aren't. some people like other subseries more of course, but it's mostly just a preference thing and not the RUINED FOREVER that you get with sonic.

i don't really feel like any megaman series besides legends really got the shaft. Zero and BN even got to have very definitive, satisfying conclusions to their storylines. and keep in mind, legends was never a big seller anyways.

to be honest, capcom mismanaged legends 3 entirely. they shouldn't have gotten everyone excited about their involvement being taken into consideration and stuff, or hell even ANNOUNCED THE GAME, if they weren't sure that it was a good idea to do so and until was a ways into development.

I predict this game will get a lot of 5/10's and 6/10's.

Same with Megaman Universe.

My DA account... I draw stuff sometimes!

Star Force got a satisfying ending, too.

Remember how they said the game wouldn't be delayed for a third time and that a sequel was already being talked about? Well, this email just went out:

The game was going to be out in 2 weeks and now we don't even have a date.

Get hyped for the "Mighty Delay No.9" memes.

They're doin a great job at pissin away all the good will some people had for the project...

Now's it's Shulk Time!
