The Mighty No. 9, a spiritual successor to the Mega Man series by Keiji Inafune, has met its funding goal on Kickstarter, a mere 48 hours after Inafune’s studio, Comcept, launched their Kickstarter campaign. The Mighty No. 9 features a number of veteran staff that have worked on the Mega Man series in the past, such as composer Manami Matsumae, designer Naoya Tomita and art director Shinsuke Komaki. The Mighty No. 9 is currently at over $930,000 in contributions. At the $1.2 million mark, Comcept will add two more stages to the game, and at the $1.35 million mark, Mac and Linux versions will be greenlit.

i heard Capcom themselves dropped $10000 on this kickstarter
i think that's just their way of saying "Sorry we're idiots and we have no idea what we're doing, please forgive us".

still would have liked to see a megaman from capcom but my great great grandkids would have turned to dust before that happens

The Mighty No. 9, a spiritual successor to Mega Man by Keiji Inafune, has amassed over $1.5 million in contributions on Kickstarter. As a result, the game is going to have a New Game Plus and Turbo mode added to it. In addition, the game’s developers have commented further on the potential release of portable versions of the game for the Nintendo 3DS and Vita. Here’s what they have to say on that front:

Another message we have gotten loud and clear: A portable version of Mighty No. 9 is something many of you are excited about — and believe us, we would love to see it happen as well. Potential 3DS and/or Vita versions of the game are something we’ve been discussing since the earliest stages of this project, as handhelds are something our developers have plenty of experience with. Unfortunately, that experience tells us that these things cost money — however, the road to making them a possibility is relatively straightforward: If we continue to see more and more fans asking for portable versions of Mighty No. 9, and if we’re able to set and achieve stretch goals that would justify the cost, we would be thrilled to make this happen. In the meantime, we’ll continue watching for more feedback and start working up more detailed budgets just in case, so please continue to let us know how much of a priority this is for you. Thanks!

Earlier in the week, fans tweeted requests for a Nintendo 3DS version of The Mighty No. 9 at the game’s official Twitter account. Following the tweets, Renegade Kid’s Jools Watsham offered to help Comcept with the development of a 3DS version of the game.

Among the stretch goals announced for Mighty No. 9, Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune's Kickstarter project, was a $2.5 million goal originally set in order to bring the game to PS3, 360 and Wii U. A recent update on the project's page notes that stretch goal has now been lowered to $2.2 million.

Inafune said at PAX Prime that Mighty No. 9's developer is "not familiar with next-gen," explaining the stretch goal's lack of PS4 and Xbox One options. He also added that the game will be challenging like older games were while also being "fair." The Kickstarter project is currently just above $1.5 million, over $600,000 above its funding goal, and will end on October 1.

The Mighty No. 9, Keiji Inafune’s recently announced spiritual successor to Mega Man, is headed to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Wii U. The game recently hit its $2.2 million stretch goal on Kickstarter, which was the requirement for a console release of the upcoming platformer. Comcept, the game’s developer, aim to have The Mighty No. 9 out in 2015.

If there's two things Mighty No. 9 is missing it's beam swords and red armor! Or to be more specific, a character resembling the likes of Zero. According to a recent Kotaku Q&A sessions with fans, Keiji Inafune has revealed that there will be a character with the colors red and will wield some kind of sword.

Have a good weekend? Sure you did -- we all did: we shot past another stretch goal late Saturday, adding a Challenge Mode to Mighty No. 9! Our congratulations and thanks to each and every one of you!
