Mighty No. 9

[Sengir]

There's not a damn thing Capcom can do about it, because you can't sue for someone using inspiration~

I'm pretty sure they technically can in this case considering this is more of a blatant rip-off than a game inspired by Mega Man.

Don't get me wrong; I really like the idea of modernized classics and I like Mighty No. 9 so far.

Inafune could possibly dodge copyright completely if he was to market the game as a Mega Man parody instead of a "new Mega Man", but that would diminish the game's vision.


I mean you're right in that if he was just inspired by Mega Man that wouldn't be sue-able, but this is way past inspiration.
