Thank you so much — but on the contrary, it's only due to people like you that I've been able to continue making these games in the first place! But hearing things like this really motivates me; the same as I felt at PAX, our fans have been just amazing with their support, and it drives me to want to make them just as…

That would have to be taking part in the Indie Stream event at Sony this past Sunday in Tokyo, post Tokyo Game Show. (ref: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthre… )

I guess I would have to say Zero from the Mega Man X series... At least that's who I'd want to be. He's not even a main character, but he's just so damn cool and stylish, and slicing through everything with a beam sword seems like fun heha

Well, (lead character designer) Kimo Kimo has been working in the game industry for 20 plus years, and me for around 25, so in that time we've both picked up many, many influences from all over — not just games. A lot of bits from old anime or power-ranger-like shows — take Mighty No. 8, who we just revealed earlier…

(laughs) That was a design choice — we haven't thought about it in terms of a game system or anything, at least not yet. But we did want Beck to have something of a modern look...

Thank you so much for saying this...

This may not be the answer you want to hear, but as this game is being made with and for the fans — many of whom are in the West, and all over the world, not just in Japan — I think some influence is a good thing.

Favorite part so far? Hmm...

We're still in the design phase now, so a lot of this balance will need to happen in actual development.

I'm often asked this — it's a tough question! It's almost like asking someone with many children who is their favorite ;)

Great, thank you! I'm physcially a bit tired from Tokyo Game Show last week, but mentally, well, very nervous and excited for the final week of our Kickstarter — to see how far we will be able to get with our stretch goals and all.

We've tried hard to balance what we want to make and our fans' reactions this past…

Well the story is not 100% set yet... Speaking generally, it was hard to do much with the story back in the NES era; we'd like to add more story and more of the characters' personalities into Mighty No. 9 — even an action game like this can benefit from that, I think — but how much we are able to do will be partially…

There is a character with a sword in Mighty No. 9, who also happens to be red...but as for the hair, can't really say :)

lol Well it's hard to say about Mega Man... Right now I'm really focused on Mighty No. 9 — when I think of Mega Man now, it's less about particular games and more about the spirit of those games that I want to bring with me.

Love these! (｀_´)ゞ
