Mighty Number 9

Non-cis character design.

Totally not stolen.

Mighty No. 9 is a Mega Man rip-off being made by Keiji Inafune, funded by Kickstarter, after he quit Capcom for spending past decade dragging the franchise through the mud. It raised close to over $4M and is now scheduled for both PC and console release in 2015. Some fanboys were so excited they donated ten fucking thousand dollars out of their child's college fund, which leads one to wonder why manchildren are allowed to play with money. The $10k Kickstarter pledge reward gives Inafune the honor of eating dinner with these undoubtedly handsome and cultured gentlemen.

Character

The main character of Mighty No. 9 is Beck, a recolor of Mega Man.

Keiji Inafune based the character of Beck on Mega Man, who was originally created by Akira Kitamura. Keiji justifies this blatant theft by stating that he is the creator of Mega Man, despite the characters design existing before he joined Capcom. His only true claim to fame in the series is the creation of Zero and fetching coffee for Akira.

Crowdsourcing

By taking his idea to Kickstarter, Keiji ensured that he would not have to seek traditional investors that would make selfish demands such as a cut of the profits. Instead, he took it to the internet, where he could instead call the investors "donators" and repay them with stickers, fanart, a super speshul forum, and assigning them with their very own numbers. You read that right. The pledge reward is a glorified DMV ticket. Inafune is clearly attempting to ascend himself to the highest pantheon of all Jewdom.

Your Donation

She'd still be boring even if she had tits, but feminist think those are very bad! She certainly isn't a "Mega Woman" and not even Mega Man would do her.

• $5 - Keiji and his girlfriend Dina will present you with your DMV ticket.
• $20 - Dina will check your privilege.
• $40 - A game manual so you may check your privilege without Dina's help.
• $120 - A printed copy of Dina's DeviantArt page.
• $250 - Personalized privilege check by Dina herself.
• $500 - Help design a level map other than the kitchen.
• $10000 - Keiji and Dina will laugh at your broke ass over dinner.

Stretch Goals

• $2,000,000 - Keiji will insert a Wiimote controller into his anus.
• $3,000,000 - Keiji will insert a Wii U controller into his anus.
• $4,000,000 - Keiji will insert an entire Wii U and 6 games into his anus. Then, he will tie one end of a mile long rope of anal beads to a telephone pole, insert the rest of the length up his asshole, then squat inside a tire and proceed to roll down Mt Fuji.

Feminists Take Over

Where it all began.

Dina's iPhone game, Plushed.

Seems like a good idea.

A massive shitstorm ensued after Keiji hired a loud-mouthed feminist Dina Abou Karam, who had been spamming the forums with gender equality fanart, to lead both the community development and character design for the game. This did not sit well with the fedora army that populated the boards, and they expressed their dismay by smearing Cheetos and belligerent ranting across the tubes.

Dina and her team of white knights responded in the most professional way possible, by editing the hate and pretending it never happened. Clearly the cis scum do not understand the importance of strong, sexy female robots that don't need no man.

Quotes

	“	When my dad is away, i like to sleep in his place, next to my mom. it makes me feel like a child again, safe if you	„
	—Dina Abou Karam, Age 19

	“	I support Mighty No. 9 wholeheartedly, but I cannot agree with bringing in a SJW to the team. If she has any influence on the projects quality, I will be demanding a refund, regardless of whether or not it is possible to receive one. Dina is known, and generally disliked for her incredibly biased views towards social justice in favor of women and transgendered LGBT community members, often times criticizing anything that does not fit in to this category. I want her fired. I really do, but I understand if that is too much. I do not, however, think it too much to ask she not have any impact on the game's development and design choices.	„
	—Eric Bickerdyke

	“	Personally, I'm now very glad that I had all my spare money locked in other investments, when the Kickstarter was running. Meh, I have always loved Mega Man, ever since I was little.... :/ I guess it is a dream never to come true that games like Mega Man, and as good as Mega Man, will come back, anytime soon. :/ I kind of knew this project had to be too good to be true.... =_=	„
	—Beauty_pact

	“	Honestly, this is an absolute train wreck for this game. Mega Man is on the level of a freaking cult for many people, it's their history, their heritage, and their childhood. it's honestly sickening to me that something like this has happened, and even more so that drastic action hasn't been taken by the heads of this company to at least try to rectify the problem before it gets any worse. It's perfectly fine for her to have her own opinions and views, yet when it gets in the way of her job, which is to create a game and a successor to Mega Man, so that she can push her own ideological agenda, that's when it crosses all kinds of lines. Even one person with this agenda can completely ruin a game such as this, and i personally have lost almost all faith in this game's development for this very reason.	„

Backlash

Since Dina was hired as Comcept's community manager, the Mighty No 9 forums have gone up in flames. What can only be described as a shit supercell of arguments from the MN9 forums to v about Dina's feminist views affecting development, her immeasurable incompetence as a community manager and human being in general, and her admission to not having an inkling of interest in the Mega Man series factoring into her position. With her practically owning the forums, dissenters have been silenced and threads have been locked left and right for so much as suggesting Dina can't do her fucking job, which she can't. Dina has and still is demonstrating her stupidity, inability to relate to the community, and abuse of her position. The fan rage has been so massive that a large amount of donations have been refunded, estimated to be in the tens or possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars. Fans of the project are continuing to catch wind of the incident after the fact, and donations continue to be withdrawn as the hurricane of disappoint, butthurt and drama shows no sign of slowing down.

Currently, there has been no official word from Comcept or Inafune regarding the matter, and one can only wonder what in the unholy fuck they must be thinking keeping Dina, let alone not saying a goddamn word about it.

Anonymous response to the video on the left, picking apart every segment.

  Hai guise, Dina here.

  Remember, if you can't come up with any valid defenses, just spout misogyny. That's always valid!

  The ideas and concepts for the game that were listed while the Kickstarter ran was what I paid for, not for these new ideas.

  This really is pathetic, hiring somebody like her just because her BF works there.

  Who the fuck is Dina, this is not the crap I sign up for complete waste of $156

  I don't want any Anita Sarkeesian feminism all up in my Megaman reboot.

  I'd rather have backer money spent on someone who clearly knows what they're doing instead of some ridiculous SJW with no experience.

Keiji Responds

He loves the dick.

White Knights

Of course no batshit feminist is complete without the backing of white knights. Immediately following the Mighty Revolt, beta males took to the streets to share their thoughts.

Video Game Therapist - Retsupurae

“   IMHO, Keiji Inafune should make Mighty No. 9 female just as a "fuck you" to all the idiots out there who got freaked out over a NON ISSUE.   „     —Tom Preston, LOL he did it again!

Gameplay

The game is being built on Unreal Engine 3, so expect lots of cell shading, copious amounts of lens flare, and for it to look like a side scrolling Guilty Gear Xrd.

Only available footage at this time.

Mighty No. 9 The Animated Series

Notice the female robot. Aka the lead character.

Before anyone has actually seen the game, Inafune is already trying to milk the franchise for all the donations he can get. This time he is begging for money in order to create a television show. And much to the delight of everyone, all episodes will be approved by resident radfem Dina.

For only $100,000 you get someone's kid to do the English voice acting
For only $200,000 you get to pay an intern to do Japanese voices
