The Kickstarter campaign for Mighty No. 9, a new Mega Man game in all but name, just closed. It made so much money that somebody, somewhere at Capcom might be getting fired today.

Hitting the $4 million mark means that the game, originally planned as a PC downloadable, should now be coming out on Mac, PS3, 360, PS4, Xbox One, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS and Vita as well.
Itâs only when you see the overwhelming fan reaction to Mighty No. 9, and its director Keiji Inafune, that you realise how poor a job Capcom had done with the series over the years. Retro remakes, MMOs, spin-off gamesâŠall people wanted was a new Mega Man game! Like, a proper one!
And now theyâre getting one. Kickstarter might have its problems, but today itâs shown itâs also a fantastic way of getting people the games they want, publisher perception be damned.
