    I think it's the non-functioning part. There's a big difference in repurposing a thing for decoration than creating a thing purely for decoration that pretends to be a different thing that would have an actual function, but doesn't.

    I think Mighty No. 9 looks neat

    Graphically, anyways

    I don't think it's a game I'd enjoy

    And that may be one of the worst trailers I've seen, yeah, holy shit

    Something that confuses me about that Mighty No. 9 trailer.

    On top of everything else, I am pretty sure they just insulted their own fanbase at the end there

    i don't really have any doubt that MN9 will be a decent mega man clone

    it's just

    they're trying to trump it up as something more than that and it obviously isn't

    The dash mechanic and combo system means it's not really an MM clone

    It might be some degree of MMX clone I guess, but not much

    If it were just an MM clone I'd be sitting here feeling beatific, waiting, absolutely smug that everyone else wasn't smart enough to see how great this is gonna be

    My kingdom for a Mega Man clone

    i think if you're gonna call out a combo system for a reason why it's not an MM clone then you're being way too strict with your definition of MM clone

    it looks like a mega man game with a quickstep

    Yeah but the dash and combo system is the only way to kill enemies, right?

    Yeah I'll buy this if we say it's the MMX equivalent of Freedom Planet

    But I really did just want Jump and Shoot Man....

    i think the confusion here is you're taking "Mega Man" to mean "Mega Man Classic," when other people like me are taking it to mean "the Mega Man franchise of 2D platformers"

    Mighty Number 9 was pitched with a torrent of Mega Man 2 callbacks, including the last shot of the end credits, bringing back members of the MM2 production crew, and a lot of talking about what made Mega Man so fantastic 25 years before the kickstarter campaign; you can imagine why I thought that would be what we'd get out of it

    Also Mega Man as a franchise is so varied and disparate I don't know that they're actually united in any way, so that's fair I guess, but still

    Goddammit

    When I was signing up for summer classes, all the classes I was taking were offered in either the first or second half of the summer, no full summer courses available, so I was basically "well I can have a month off now or have a month off in July"

    No Man's Sky was the primary reason I took the first half of the summer off

    They could be wrong, but usually rumors of delays are right

    No one's trying to get people excited for things that aren't happening with those rumors

    I admit I didn't think there was any confusion on the point so that's my bad, sorry

    Though I will point out I differentiated between "Mega Man clone" and "Mega Man X clone"

    It might seem like a fine distinction but when you're playing them I think the two styles are real different

    Granted I don't know how MN9 actually plays because I haven't actually played it but videos make it look real different from MM1-10 and the MMX series
