Mighty No. 9 Vita Kickstarter stretch goal announcedInafune's spiritual successor to Mega Man handheld bound.
A PlayStation Vita version of Keiji Inafune's Mighty No. 9, the spiritual successor to the Mega Man series, is a Kickstarter stretch goal. Sony's Shahid Ahmad, the man seen as largely responsible for Sony's extensive indie push with the PlayStation 4 and Vita, made the announcement during a developer sessions at this year's EGX. Mighty No. 9 is an action platformer cast firmly in the Mega Man mould, with Inafune and his Comcept studio taking to Kickstarter to fund the project. With four days to go, the game has already brought in over $2.5 million - well ahead of its target of $900,000. It's set for release in April 2015 on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii U as well. Ahmad didn't mention how much Comcept will ask for the Vita version to be created. We'll update as soon as it's announced. Inafune's cagey (sorry) about the similarities between Mighty No. 9 and Mega Man, or at least he was when Jeff caught up with him earlier this year. From concept art and description, though, it's Mega Man in all but name - something fans of the series who've been abandoned by Capcom will likely be grateful for.

April 2015? Even if we don't assume there might be some delays, I think the platform roster is flawed, PS360 will definitely be in big decline. They should release for next-gen platforms and Wii U.
Good that they plan a Vita version though, would buy it for it.
So it is happening...PS4 preorder.
Greatness Awaits!
