Inafune says Mighty No. 9 would win in a fight against Mega Man, both franchises can co-exist
Mighty No. 9 and Mega Man are two similar characters. Both are robots. Both are from creator Keiji Inafune. Who’d he pick in a fight?
That would be Mighty No. 9, as he explained to Kotaku:
“Unfortunately Mega Man is an older robot and uses the older parts. A little bit too old school. I don’t know if he would be able to compete with the newer, shinier version of Beck.”
Continuing on the topic of similarity, Mighty No. 9 and Mega Man offer comparable gameplay elements, but Inafune feels both franchises can co-exist.
“Yeah. If the question is just, ‘Can they exist as two different franchises at the same time?’ then my answer is yes, of course. Capcom should be doing things with the Mega Man franchise just like we are with this original game.”
“Ultimately, it would be great for the fans because then they would be able to play even double the content that they otherwise could,” he continued. “So, in this perspective, yes, please, let both games exist.”
