9 was marketed on this specific nostalgia, bringing the Mega Man you know and love into the present day, and for good or ill is true to it. As technology and the industry flowered, what was a great design in the 1980s eventually fossilised. Mega Man is of an age where, not only was everything much more basic, but there were a lot less games. The games are designed to be replayed, many times.
They were an extra-tough challenge but – the important bit – the controls were beautifully-engineered, almost the whole game was open from the off, and the rock-papers-scissors nature of bosses let you work out new paths over time. The games in the original Mega Man series were great for reasons that don't apply in 2016. That time is the mid- to late- 1980s, when the Nintendo Entertainment System was the most popular videogame console on the planet, and Mega Man was one of its marquee titles. 9 is impossible to separate from Mega Man and, as well as the design elements they share, it's a game trying to recapture a moment in time. Comcept raised just under $4 million to make this game in 2013 and, following several delays, have delivered what the fans wanted. 9, a spiritual heir to the Mega Man series Inafune co-created and stewarded through its greatest years, blasted past expectations. Comcept, founded by ex-Capcom developer Keiji Inafune, has had no such issues - and the studio's kickstarter for Mighty No. The problem for most new studios is making anyone pay attention.
