Mighty No. 9

[StarSock64]

I think everyone's come to terms with the reality that Capcom is probably not going to do anything with Mega Man, and even if they do, it probably will not be good. I think fans feel so betrayed by and disillusioned with Capcom that they really don't mind ditching MM and going with Inafune's pseudo-MM, especially with his enthusiasm behind it. At the moment, the decision is basically "either accept this new character (who's got so much MM staff influence behind him that he may as well be a new Mega Man type), or don't have any Mega Man at all."

I'm personally not really excited for this game (I don't think it'll deviate enough from the formula I've played a bajillion times already so I really don't care), but I can understand why fans are so ready and willing to move on. They're probably surprised that they have anything to hope for at all: Mighty No. 9 is better than anything they would have expected from Capcom. Fans are so angry with Capcom that Inafune's rebelliousness seems to inspire togetherness among the community, rather than causing some sort of separation between MM fans and Beck fans.
