   I think that’s a fair concern. I mean for all the love Mega Man gets the bulk of it stems from Mega Man 2, Mega Man 3 and Mega Man X even though there are plenty of other games in there (I would count Mega Man 7 but I never felt like it was really that well recieved before emulation came along).
   There’s no lack of substance in the games but I feel like they’re sort of in that Pac Man zone where everyone knows it and loves it but they don’t actually want to play the game.

   That said, Might No 9 looks great. My only concern at this point is that it looks a little busy mechanic-wise. The weapons appear to do more than just additional damage with a slightly different way of aiming them. That may or may not be a bad thing but it’s pretty easy to get carried away on that front.

      I go back and play Megaman every now and then. It’s one of my goto games when nothing else keeps me interested; along with Super Metroid, Castlevania and a handful of classic pc games.

   Looks great! but im wanting a few things…
   1. Co-op online multiplayer (working something like super mario bros on wii U.)
   2. Jumping into machines and vehicles (like metal slug 3)
   3. Innovative levels e.g. ( level where you jetpack upwards through obstacles or a level where your swinging around with a hookshot type weapon like in metroid)
   (can you tell i like nintendo side scrollers? :P)

   I dunno, I’m still not entirely sold. There’s just something missing from it.

   Also it still really looks like a Unity game.

      I imagine they aren’t working on shaders too hard as they will take advantage of Unity’s new shader system which is currently in beta. It’s the old crappy standard shaders that give that “unity” look. The new stuff is AAA grade, with the right talent behind it it should compete with UE4.

   Yep. Apart from the over-reliance on air-dashing it looks pretty much Mega Man. Which is not a bad thing. I’m certainly interested – I’ll probably buy it – but as a hardcore MM fan who owns all of the original, X and Zero series, there’s almost like a feeling of betrayal in liking this.

   Backer’s got a demo of the War Factory stage as well… damn fun demo 😀

   The stage balance was just right for a demo and you definitely get a “speed run” vibe that compels you to get better and better at the stage.
