126 Comments

With just four hours remaining, the Kickstarter campaign for Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune's Mighty No. 9 has surpassed $3.5 million, meaning the game will be released on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, 3DS, and PlayStation Vita. The funding milestone was achieved earlier today.

No Caption Provided

At press time, funding for Mighty No. 9 stands at $3,547,976 from 62,011 backers. The campaign closes at 8:19 p.m. EDT this evening. The game is expected to be released in April 2015.

With more than $3.5 million raised, the Kickstarter campaign for Mighty No. 9 is the third largest in the platform's history for a gaming project.

Inafune announced and launched the Kickstarter campaign for Mighty No. 9 during PAX Prime last month. It reached its initial $900,000 target in under two days.

For more, check out GameSpot's interview with Inafune about the Kickstarter project and his thoughts on the Japanese gaming industry, among other topics.

Also what's with all the morons complaining about all the bugs....? It's a beta, FFS. It's created to find and nuke these bugs before final versions are shipped out. I remember playing the BF3 beta and it was buggy as hell for the first few days, then updates smoothed it out, and the retail version eliminated almost all the bugs I saw in the beta. Come on, kids. Have a little patience.

Battlefield 3 is an amazingly optimized game. But I've always had crashing issues with it on two separate computers (one with a 560m, and one with a 680). I seem to be experiencing the same crash, around 10 minutes in to gameplay, as I almost always did with Battlefield 3. Wonderful. I know it's a beta. I just hope this time around, BF4 will be more stable.

i've downloaded the beta on my ps3 and to be honest it's not great, lots of pop ups.. nothing like what trailers show you, frame rate not really that nice also, get moments when you see picture correction, don't know what it's called proper but when you see an image and it takes a second to become proper image, but i guess it's just a beta..

@Micra-IRL- slow texture "renderization" is the proper nomenclature, and believe me, this is what you will play in the retail version !

I need to say, before anything, that I'm a huge fan of BF, so, here it goes my complaint:

I love BF, there's nothing similar on consoles, but when I first played the BF3 beta and realised that the final version was exactly the same without any fixes, I mean, exploding with bugs and unbalanced gameplay, I got really frustrated ! I don't want to play the beta again and see that when I buy the retail version it will have no changes from the beta version ! It was clear that DICE in the past focused more on the competition against Call of Duty ( which imo there's none ), than focusing on delivering what they promised.
I hope that DICE learned they don't need to compete against COD anymore because BF can sell itself and they are really different games for different type of gamers ! They need to focus on delivering something "finished" and "functional" and forget this whole marketing and milking !

People on another topic was discussing that this beta in question is a "late" release because developers won't have time to fix major problems, "possibly" found with the data gathered from the feedback given by the beta ( which is the function of a BETA version ), Sooo, this "beta" is more of a DEMO because if people could think about the logistics, which means that DICE and EA have to distribute ALL the discs worldwide until the release date, and most of the retailers must have their lot in place at least one week anticipated.... With that, if you're playing a broken beta today, you can be sure that DICE already produced their final version to all game discs and THERE WILL BE an update to fix the shit !

Point is: Why calling it a beta ? Why keep releasing broken games ? Why people still support these procedures?

Think about it, if you don't have internet, or worse, if you have a Xbox 360 4gb model, you won't be able to enjoy the game because IT'S BROKEN, needs an update, and it requires a HDD....Shouldn't you receive a discount for that ? You will pay full price, and DICE will give you a broken product.... which they will fix later !!!!

I will never buy a product that needs repairs already, why games should become like that?! Don't you people see that ? This is becoming "PROCEDURE", this should be at most, "this time we had to do that", not standard procedure !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@dalua360 OP that is such a good story. I really can't pick "one part" that I liked the best. But if you were to hold a gun to my head, I would go with the part with the pictures. I just got off the phone with an armored truck company. They will be arriving in the morning to pick up my back up disk, which I just saved your story on to. There probably won't be much traffic, because I forwarded the police your story, and they agreed to escort the armored truck to its destination. At first the police chief didn't want to help, but then I guided his attention to the incredible pictures that you embedded along with your story. I mean, the story was good enough. But as soon as I saw the pictures that went along with it, I called my grandmother, who is blind and has Alzheimer’s disease to tell her. As far as her doctors in the nursing home are concerned, she is cured of all her ailments now that she heard your cool story. She is actually preparing to run the Boston marathon this year now. Thank you OP.

@dalua360 @Fachero I see you have gf issues, : O.K. this is how it goes. You get an orangutan. I'm not talking a little

monkey or some dancing chimp bull****, I mean a ****ing orangutan.
Don't ask me how you're gonna get a ****ing orangutan, that's not my
problem. So the orangutan's name is Clyde. This is non-negotianable, all
orangutans are named Clyde. I don't know why that is, it's just how the
world works. So you and Clyde become man (and ape) about town. You're
seen everywhere together, you make the scene. You and friends go out in
big groups. You talk loud, you laugh louder. Every time you say
something witty you high-five the orangutan. The town begins to buzz. It
gets back to her. "Did you know the guy with the orangutan?", "You used
to date the guy with the orangutan?", "Why would you break up with a guy
with an orangutan?" Next thing you know she's calling.
"I'm hoping we can still be friends. Wanna hang out sometime." "Geez I
dunno, me and Clyde were going to go to a monster truck race tonight.
(orangutans love monster trucks) In fact the whole social calender seems
kinda full. I tell you what, I'll make a little note (what was your name
again?) and maybe I can squeeze you in." "Oh, well you know my number so
don't be a stra-" "Hey look at the time! I gotta skate, Clyde's making
Mojitos'."
At this point the upper hand is yours. You can let her twist in the
wind, you can draw her back into your life at the pace you decide.
Whatever, it's your life. But if you're a smart man? You slowly phase
her back in. You're IM'ng. You're talking on Live. You get invited to
family functions. You bring Clyde, he becomes like one of the family.
You're one big Brady Bunch.
Then the orangutan ****s her mother.

it is running like garbage on pc (SLI 770's here)

the new hud and menus are horrid. deploy screen, etc.

the new orange-colored death cam is the ugliest thing i think i've seen in an FPS game.

the hud scale is terrible. everything is huge.

the "small" minimap remains useless... they removed the big minimap... (**** YOU). the new big map could give me all that info in about 1/6th of my screen instead of full screen.

sincerely,

the biggest BF fan.

They can hit pretty hard with their beaks. Just remember to maintain eye contact (like mentioned above). That is probably the most important rule when facing down a goose (or any number of them, they like to fight in packs.) Also another important strategy is to spread your lats out, this will intimidate them. If the challenge is accepted the goose will spread its wings out as a sign to commence battle. The best way to start off the fight is to run straight at it and flap your arms while still spreading your lats (hard to do, but easily accomplished with a few weeks training.) The goose will either be scared off at this point, or ready to take you on. If the latter is true, prepare for a long fight because once a goose decided to attack, he's in it to win it.

@IndiePrower I got that same problem. I think it's lag personally. I played on a couple different servers last night and the ping for players was anywhere from ~20 to anywhere as high as ~350. No one was filtering their servers and that meant that anyone from across the planet was joining into North American servers, generating some seriously disruptive lag. It got better for me when I changed to a server closer to home but still had players with insanely high ping playing too.

@IndiePrower Same for me, I have a pretty decent rig too. and i go from 40-50 fps randomly down to 30 or even as low as 25. It is beta, so hopefully this gets fixed. But you never know, the beta for bf3 ran flawlessly for me.

@Kooken58 @IndiePrower Exactly, wonder what happens. I'm hanging with my i72600K + HD6870 + 8GB right now. Got random jitters and the control became less responsive when that happens, even when I put everything on medium. Like you said, BF3 beta also ran flawlessly on my system.

@ahmed74 I don't think there is an early access code. But give it like 2 days and you can play anyway. Plus, it's laggy as hell right now so those two days just might help smooth it out for you as well as the rest of us!
