Man that's real character design; haven't seen anything that good in a while.

Skullgirls is probably the closest thing as far as creativity. Reminds me of how iconic the characters and enemies were in Sonic the Hedgehog 2.

If you care to read this article, they discuss the work/ideas that went into this design.

There have been a few updates to the Kickstarter as they are moving through the Stretch Goals.

Some of the Stretch goals have been shifted around. The X360/PS3/Wii-U release goal was shifted down from 2.5m to 2.2m.

It seems from the feedback they are getting, there are a lot of requests to put the game on the PS4/X1 and handheld devices (3DS/Vita).

As they move further through the Stretch Goals that are listed, they have eluded to the fact that more should become available which I think the requests above are likely to become available.

I am also seeing a lot of requests for a Co-Op mode (2nd player would play as Call) and a Stage Designer.

Personally I would like to see an Online Vs. Mode with a bunch of different maps and game types.

I am really hoping this game feels like an evolution of the Megaman X series so that the gameplay is very fast paced. I want to be dashing in pretty much every movement I make.

For Online Vs. Mode I would like to see the following Game Types:

- 1v1
- Team (3v3)
- Free-For-All (Elimination)

There should be Achievements, Unlockables, LeaderBoards.

I would like to see maps with a lot of different obstacles to wall grip on, long jump, etc.

They are calling this a, "Spiritual successor" of Megaman.
I'm putting that phrase in my back pocket. lol

Demon Souls was called a "spiritual successor" to Kings Field and i think they nailed it. But it can be a tricky statement.

Kinda like the mapquest definition of a "Slight Right"

meh I am not sold yet, I find most new age side scrollers pretty underwhelming with rare exceptions like shadow complex and splosion man

I like these concepts much more than what they were using in the last few mega man games.
We weren't too far from beating Puppy Mans stage first to get an advantage in defeating Peanut Butter Man.

Finally remembered to sit down and make my contribution. Beta access, baby!

Eight days to go!

Megaman Legends 3 appeared to have been making good developmental progress, however had been cancelled abruptly. Several fans believe there was a conflict of interest between Inafune and the leadership at Capcom, because shortly after the project had been cancelled, there was an announcement of Inafune's departure with Capcom.
Not to mention the severe disappointment from the fanbase when Capcom had announced that they were cancelling the project.
I personally had originally purchased a 3DS with the intention of playing Megaman Legends 3 and was pretty disappointed when I had heard that it had been cancelled.

The Megaman IP has, since Inafune's departure not been utilized in its own stand alone game; And to some degree only seems to be utilized in a somewhat joking manner for other cross-over titles (UMvC3 Frank West Megaman Skin, Box Art Megaman in SFxT, etc.).

This Kick Starter project, to me, looks like what I would imagine the type of game a developer like Inafune has been wanting to create for several years to evolve the Megaman IP, however hasn't been allowed to create potentially because of a conflict of interest with leadership at Capcom, lack of belief in profit, etc.

Such a shame when these things happen.
Unfortunate that I cannot donate, but oh well, a bump for the thread anyway.

Spoiler

And as someone said earlier with a publisher you can easily have your vision turned into something far off from your ideal and initial goals. Now yes there are some shady kickstarters much like those idiotic brony people who donated roughly 5,ooo bucks in hopes that this guy will buy and island and construct a replica setting of the MLP show and call it Brony island....

(here is a link to my friend ranting about it:

) Just in case you don't believe me.

$5,000 donated for a replica setting? I am a Brony, and I say: damn humans and their crazy-ass ideas! It's just a TV show.
(Not all Bronies are bad. Every fandom/community has their share of obnoxious and stupid humans)

I should know better: all fandoms are cursed with some obsessive humans, and it doesn't always have to be a fandom. Any obsession can take you to unhealthy paths, should you lack the self-control.

This is probably the most effort I've seen put into a kickstarter campaign, haha. They've been sending updates every couple days.
