Last summer Inafune launched not just one, but two more kickstarters, this time for a spiritual successor to Megaman Legends called Red Ash, along with an anime adaptation. The whole damn campaign was full of red flags and warning signs that, in conjunction with Mighty No. 9 looking like it wasn't going to be very and still not even being out, led a lot of people to avoid the whole thing. Red flags like hiding almost half of the game's intended plot and content behind stretch goals, underselling the amount they needed because they thought they'd be funded immediately, and outright lying about Mighty No. 9 being finished.

Inafune came out half a week before the deadline, with the project having only gotten 500k of the 900k it needed to succeed, and announced that they'd brokered a deal with some shady Chinese company to fund the whole thing, and that the kickstarter money would now go towards extra content and DLC.

They then proceeded to lose somewhere around $100,000 in pledges over the next few days before the deadline finally hit, cementing its failure.

The whole clusterfuck actually caused prices of Legends and Legends 2 to rise for a week or two in there, before everyone realized the project was going nowhere and the hype died almost immediately.
