    Mighty No. 9 (Keiji Inafune's spiritual successor to the Mega Man franchise)

    Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune and his company Comcept are working on a spiritual successor to his 1987-birthed Mega Man franchise. Inafune announced the launch of a Kickstarter campaign for an all-new side-scrolling action game called Mighty No. 9 during his ‘From 8-bit to Next-Gen, and Beyond’ panel at PAX Prime today.

    The game, which is seeking $900,000 in funding, is being developed for PC by a team of “all-star Mega Man developers” and will be distributed DRM-free via Steam in spring 2015. Console, Mac, and Linux releases are “high priority,” but only if stretch goals are reached ($1,350,000 for Mac and Linux; $2,500,000 for PS3, Xbox 360, and Wii U).

    Mighty No. 9 stars Beck, the 9th in a line of powerful robots, and the only one not affected by a mysterious computer virus that has caused mechanized creatures throughout the world to go berserk. Players will “run, jump, blast, and transform” their way through six stages (with more added via stretch goals) in any order of their choosing, “using weapons and abilities stolen from your enemies” to take out the remaining Mighty Number robots.

    Jeez, that was fast.
    And this thing will still be open for almost a whole month 'cause they're gonna hit the goal in less than half a week.

    And kickstarter is being flooded with "Why does Beck have to be male?" and "Calling the main girls 'Call Girls' is insulting".

    I hate the internet.

    You hate the same Internet that fully funded this project, and then catapulted its funds even further? Don't mind the fools—they can't stand in the way of greatness.

    (That, and they clearly don't understand that Beck is supposed to be a blatantly obvious stand-in for Mega Man, who was male, nor that the Call Girls are clearly not going to be overly sexualized—so, yes: fools. Don't mind them.)

    ^It still doesn't make them any less annoying since the topic of "women tropes" in gaming is just about everywhere these days with white knights rallying behind them, it's fucking stupid. Do they just do this kind of shit for attention? GTFO out of my vidya games.

    they take the attitude of "sexism won't change if we don't complain about it" to the illogical extreme. that way they aren't 'being whiny' they're 'raising awareness'
    by all means, point out actual sexist shit if you want, but gtfo with the "WHY IS THE MAIN CHARACTER A MAN!!!?!?!"

    They've surpassed the goal for Mac and Linux versions. I hope they surpass "New Game Plus," too.
