No doubt situations have improved over the years, but it's sad to hear about the breakdown between culture and race during this title's development. Think I've heard/seen a mention of this game on the rare occasion back in 2008 but nothing since and even then I didn't know what people were talking about. I was still a kid back in '06 but I still had my eye on E3 and yet never even saw a glimpse of this game. Looked like it had potential. Too bad.

2016 is probably too soon in general. Forget July. Reggie recently stated that they don't typically release software in the summer because people are "in the mood to buy" during the fall/holiday season. I am QUITE sure they will follow that same logic with their home console hardware since it seems quite likely that's what NX is. I also wouldn't doubt that Nintendo plans to support Wii U heavily next holiday season as well with Zelda and other unannounced titles. I would pin Spring 2017 as a maybe, but I'd feel safer betting on holiday 2017.

Unfortunately most people don't have that kind of patience.

Boy do I hope we hear more about the game in July because this mystery is killing me.

The needs of the players is third party support. Sorry Nintendo, but even if NX has a really neat thing going for it, if it's under powered or hard to develop for we'll have a Wii situation on our hands at best. Good for profit and casuals, but a sad story for the consumer.

Picked FAST cuz that's exclusive but honestly looking forward to the shmup games more. Shout outs to RIVE. The demo really demonstrated that the feel of the game is on point and it was challenging as well. Jumping is awkward, but otherwise definitely a game that deserves, and honestly needs for the devs' sake, support.

It wasn't bad and it's honorable of them to bring on presenters who worked very hard on upcoming games, allowing them to share their passion with fans who love to hear about development, but most of it didn't get me fired up or catch my attention. I do respect nintendo's efforts and their relationships with devs. I really just wish there could have been more excitement. Mario & Luigi Paper Jam was THE highlight for me and Star Fox looked pretty neat too (unfortunately the fidelity is low due to the gamepad functionality), but other than that the rest of 2015 feels too dry. Here's to hoping it's not all that bad.

@Kirk I second this

RIVE! Kreygasm

*utilizing the engine. Looking forward to it. If the Paypal is till open after the kickstarter is finished I really want to nab a backer edition physical copy.

They "weren't happy" with the Wii U version? Funny since it seems they were most at fault for its failure.

I don't doubt it.

@BinaryFragger Reading or hearing that quote stings every time. Profound sadness.

It's unfortunate, but i don't really have an interest in smash 4 anymore. I'll be keen on any ballot character announcements but other than that i find it hard to care.

I've played the game quite a bit on steam though nowhere near as much as some people. I will probably spend most of my time catching up and progressing further on the Wii U and 3DS versions. Really hope there will be a cross-buy promotion. As much as I want to support the game, buying it 3 times wouldn't be very fun for my wallet.

My favorite weapon so far

@OMC79 I don't know him so trust isn't the right word. I simply consider a number of factors of game development and those working on games I follow and looking at this trailer again I've come to appreciate the visuals a little better. Sure there are certain aspects of it that are lazy/unpolished but they serve the game just fine imo. That being said, I'm sure you have more justification then me to be upset as you are very passionate about the Mega Man franchise. It would be sad indeed if this game is unable to satisfy the fans.

@OMC79 Gunvolt was the work of someone else at Inti Creates. While Inafune did have input on that game I'm quite sure most of his attention was put towards Mighty No. 9.

@OMC79 To quote Sakurai "Have you ever made a game before?" I won't leave my reply at that, however. The Development team hadn't even decided what engine the game would run on until they got their funding so they were working on the game for about 2 years I'd guess for MULTIPLE platforms which takes time and money, which some of that money seems to have gone to other media and merchandise. Take that for what you will. They have not made a profit on the game yet as it hasn't been released. How much was the salary of each team member? What kind of difficulties did they run into? Who was play testing and how much? What kind of resources did they need to implement features such as online functionality? These are things that must be considered for the development of every game and I'm by no means an expert.

Looks Amazing. The hype is too real.

@Windy Seeing this game in the west at all next year would probably be a long shot. I have no doubt that we'll get the game at some point, but it almost certainly won't be as soon as a few months short of a year after it's launch in Japan. If Capcom put all their resources behind it, it could happen, but I'm not sure they're ready to do that for the series just yet.

I agree that the game looks bland, but such is the result of limited development time and a load of features that the project's stretch goals made possible. You can see almost all those features in the trailer which is a good thing if you ask me. I've stated before that I'm not a big Mega Man fan, but if you're looking for that type of game design it will probably deliver to some extent. It's unfortunate that the game doesn't seem to be much more than what it's simply trying to be though.

Looking forward to it? I'm dying to play this game.

Not much of a surprise. I think most of the players I've been matched with have Japanese names.

This was a treat for the eyes. Can't wait.

Looking forward to it. Let's hope for good performance on the wii u version.

I'm excited with mild expectations, but I hope we don't have to wait much longer for it.

are you telling me I could've bought guacamelee for a dollar? smh. I got it on sale though so I guess I'm just a little salty.

@Cypronia Ah I see. I'm not sure the argument for the sharks is very good, but it's very honorable of you to respond to the criticisms had here on this article. For now I'll wish you the best and hopefully people will attest to a quality experience upon release, Good luck!

Tank one looks like it could be fun if done right, but I won't get my hopes up.

Is the lackluster water shader, dumb shark design/animation, and dropping frame rates apart of this new experience?

Seems less a teaser more of a confirmation. Would be nice to see all those dungeon level stretch goals though. At this point in time I'd be more than willing to back it, but alas I am broke.

Same day as Splatoon? Well it's not exclusive to Walmart at least. Tbh I only really cared for the gold one for the novelty of it and certain comedic factors. Still angry over that debacle either way.

if it hits its all the stretch goals there may be hope yet for an additional Wii U port goal, if not, no point in me backing it as it has already been funded.

Not sure if there's much left to reveal unless they simply want everyone to see the whole game before release. Maybe gameplay from new modes/gametypes?

@MussakkuLaden I agree with your point on satisfaction. None of Shinen's games have given me a proper sense of satisfaction. The presentation in their games is always nice though nothing extraordinary. Nano Assault EX for example, is a functional game, it has plenty of modes and objectives, but it often feels bland to me. I've played the FAST demo and that game feels alright though never bought the game. This really is a curious thing when it comes to this developer for me. Nevertheless excited to see what they've come up with this time.

I wouldn't call that slight but oh well.

You're right this isn't as rare as the gold mario amiibo. That thing is far more rare than it should be. Real fans aren't even able to grab their share of these things for retail price. /rant

I wonder when this one (or 2) man dev will learn to focus on one thing at a time rather than trying to make every single concept that comes into his head a reality.

We've been getting variations on the same statement of "you'll have to wait to see more" for quite a while now. It's quite annoying really.

No thanks

Every time I see a poll with monster hunter in it I get sad because I realize just how popular it isn't.... OT I am greatly disappointed that the standard model was shunned and though we may be seeing a release eventually, which I doubt will happen, it would be even more aggravating.

If true I will be quite happy.

I suppose there's nothing too terrible about having amateur developers producing their early works on the eShop, but it's definitely not the right place for these games to be. On the other hand, this is an easier way for the dev to get visibility early and plenty of feedback no matter how critical it may be.

Been on my wishlist since the developer interview.

Well these games look quite uninspired to say the least.

Well that trailer was pretty dumb. Will try out the beta but not expecting much,

I must admit link's walking animation looked a little funny and maybe it was just the way the video was recorded but I noticed occasional frame dips especially when link was riding Epona. That said it may have just been my eyes deceiving me and hopefully so because the huge frame drops in WWHD were quite jarring. Fortunately the visuals look crisp and for the most part looked smooth. I'm not sure it looks quite as amazing as everyone else is saying, to me that is, but the vibrant colors would probably lend themselves better to a direct feed. That's not to say that there weren't some very cool details such as Epona's hair sway. Either way looking forward to picking the game up next year and going on what seems to be a revolutionary adventure in the Zelda franchise.

Yeah in every single video I've seen the game just seems so much poorer in the driving part of gameplay than other versions. It's quite pathetic really.

This was one of my first games so I'll be downloading this sometimes soon since the visuals are far more attractive than the originals' and because of my nostalgia.
