When Kenji "Mega Man" Inafune backs something, you know it's the real deal. When he puts his mind to it, he completes a task "Inafune style!"
The legendary game creator just gave an interview about his new Beastroids IP and how it's gonna be a hot new ticket item for the next gen. Using revolutionary NFT marketing and crowdsourcing to kickstart the IP Beastroids will appear in everything from video games, anime, film, to even lunch boxes!
You should probably "get in" on Beastroids before it's too late! Launching late quarter 2023! 😉

Almost.
>KAH I JI inafune
Why
how the fug are you supposed to say it?!
Idiot execs gushed at the idea that people would spend money on pictures of no value and got greedy. They all bought into this as something new and shiny and they had to get in on it before everyone else did. Everyone knew these made no sense so they didn't buy them and they died.
Also, Inafune's Beastroids... got delayed. DELAYED. It hasn't launched yet. lelIt was supposed to launch 2022 but it's going to launch later in 2023.
Its pronounced Keh-ji
I thought this already flopped months ago
Man what happened to NFTs?.I remember they were like all the rage last year and before and then all of a sudden just gone..
The scam ran its course and the rug got pulled.
It was nothing but investor bait.
>NFT
Now that's just pathetic.
he needs to be stopped
>fantasy life: the girls who steals time, brought to you by the man who steals money

is this real or are you guys trolling?
I'm not seeing "L5 Comcept" anywhere in these promos. I think the team was internally disbanded and distributed among L5 now. Ergo "Comcept" doesn't even exist as a team at L5 anymore.
btw their original website is still up, but no updates since 2016.

>Mn9 never gets the cartoon
>red ash gets a one episode animation and no game
Genius inafune
He thought crowdsourcing was an instant cash machine for endless money. So each ep of the Red Ash anime series was a stretch goal... and it reached 1 ep and not the 26 planned. And they had a separate crowd sourcing for the game as well. But people were wary about a new project when the old one wasn't out yet.
In fact, Inafune should have just made Red Ash first without Mn9.
You own the blockchain code associated with that work. That's the word game they're playing. So you own "it" but it's so vague as to what that means - a blockchain code for a specific jpg and hold no legal rights to anything. Utterly worthlesss cam.
>Click on Red Ash
>Page no longer exists
Every day I thank god I wasn't moronic enough to back Mn9 or Red Ash
my god. and this was announced months ago. why am i just finding about this now?
getting those furry bucks i see
ORIGINAL CHARACTER, DONUT STEAL.
oh fug that's literally pride parade Zero. I literally thought it was zero from the thumbnail.
Holy shit he does look like he is dying
>he is 58
Yeah like the other anon says he might have cancer
Or a cocaine addiction
If you check out old office footage of anime, mnaga, video games, etc everyone is chain smoking. Even if someone isn't smoking, they're around it all the time. That catches up with people so you see a lot of these nerd creative types dying of cancer in their 50's.

He is an idiot clueless exec who dreams of these get rich quick big schemes. He also seems to be progressively losing weight in each new appearnace, so I think he has cancer.
Shouldnt he be rich already is my point.
C'MON GUYS THIS IS OUR CHANCE TO GET RICH! FILTHY RICH!!!

Why wouldnt you just enjoy your retirement instead of smearing your name with trash, I dont get it.
$$$
He probably got paid a lot to do this. You see Hollywood athletes and soccer players do this all the time. Cashing out at the end of their career to do things or play on teams they never would have in their prime. It's smart.
But they shouldnt need money at this point unless they blew it all up on underage prostitutes, its so pathetic and sad.
>But they shouldnt need money
It's not about need its about the fact that they can. When you are rich all you care about is being richer. Also some of these guys maybe don't want to retire and like working and this is work.
Game developers are total shit, so devs don't get ANY residuals rather just a standard salary. You make some hot new game series that makes your company billions? Maybe you get a little bonus but that's it. You are expected tos tay at the company forever if you want to be rewarded with a comfy exec position.
Oh you left? Well tough. They can't start collecting proper retirement until 65, and they aren't earning cash anymore from their game dev days, so they get desperate.
Also, Brain Fighter is at least cute/creative, and holds my interest. Remove the NFT angle, and give it a proper budget and it'd be a good game.

Yes the people that actually put up all the financial risk reap the awards. You don't like that? Risk your own investment then.

When is Yuji Naka coming out with his own blockchain game? It's not like he has any other options left at this point.
>blockchain
LMAO he's got an actual chain and ball on his leg instead.
He's not in prison, he got a suspended sentence. He does however have a 2 million yen fine that he's going to have to pay back somehow!
thats like $20k, should be fine
After he gets out of his prison block and chains
Why do they keep trying to make these games? Has there been a singe NFT game that has been a success and is still a success today?
Japanese execs just look at numbers on pages and know nothing about video games. They just see the idea of people paying thousands for pictures and go nuts thinking htey hit the jackpot.
>Has there been a singe NFT game that has been a success
Nope. Ubisoft's rugpull is a particularly sore point for nftshills
An "NFT" game is broken from conception.
It's intention is to sell the idea of NFTs, and then build something around that rather than actually making a game or any other product.
Theoretically it should be simple since you're just assigning items a unique ID that can be transferred. The issue is that you would have to create the marketplace itself and have people that would actually want to buy/use these things instead of a small handful of speculative investors trying to cash out after the ponzi scheme grows large enough.
but... think of the profits! THink of hte executive bonuses!
I don't even understand the NFT part of the game? What does NFTs add to a game like conman is trying to sell?
Think of gacha games but instead of rolling for a specific character, your generic template NFT is what you use in the game.
Ok I understand this is bullshit but what do they actually say is the benefit for this? For example I thought NFTs in gaming were like I earn an emblem title in Resident Evil and then I could go play COD and that emblem which is the NFT carries over to COD for me to display. Is that right?
>Ok I understand this is bullshit but what do they actually say is the benefit for this? For example I thought NFTs in gaming were like I earn an emblem title in Resident Evil and then I could go play COD and that emblem which is the NFT carries over to COD for me to display. Is that right?
There's been some speculation of using blockchains to create some kind of universal gaming currency. None of this has gone anywhere.
So basically up to this point, NFT has been an empty buzzword placeholder for a system they haven't figured out yet?
They figured out the system: market for selling "unique" copies of pictures. That's it. They thought it was free money and few people bought into it.
So in Inafune's game is he creating jpgs of characters that only x amount of people can own and that's it? That's the game? He will keep adding in new jpgs later on to sell rinse repeat?
For Beastroids he's creating an NFT market place for pictures of characters and there's some vague allusions that this may one day become a video game series. But right now it's an NFT series. And one that got delayed from its 2022 release to sometime in 2023 as well.
God this is so stupid.
NFTs always came off to me as normies and israelites mad that they missed the Bitcoin fad and tried to brute-force and create a new bitcoin like fad
There is no benefit. It's a pump and dump scheme to get rich off desperate people gambling with what little they have
I understand this all my question is what are they trying to tell normies the benefit is? There has to be some hustle to the scam? Like how pyramid scams try to sell normies on some benefit, what's the benefit?
normies aren't the target audience, they're targeting people who are already invested in NFTs as a concept. It doesn't matter to them in the slightest how it looks to you or me.
The reason for the disconnect is because these marketers dont play games and think MMOgays grinding thousands upon thousands of hours for that one piece of equipment is the funnest shit ever since that's all they ever hear about
>The year is 2030
Oh nice. I'm gonna save this and make a note to post this in 2030 and see how no one knows what the fug this is even about.
Even this is just trying to create some "unique" gamer currency that could be passed between games. Which we already have: it's called money. And even then, every platform has their own currency. It's all utter waste.
There's an even more glaring problem in that example.
Those other games rely on the rarity of Obsidian ore which is why the stuff is used for powerful upgrades and equipment. Obsidian ore is also something you can farm fron a fricking match-3 phone game and transfer into the others.
The result? An economic crash and meta shift in 3 games following which Obsidian ore becomes so mainstream that grinding for it in a match-3 game becomes almost mandatory
At first I thought an item having a 5% chance of appearing with only 4 in existence was ridiculous, but considering how empty the average online NFT game seems to be, this might actually be quite accurate
Always makes me laugh how he describes what's basically a horrific corporate nightmare scenario and the death of vidya in such an upbeat way, as if it's some amazing future to be excited for. It's just as tone-deaf and out of touch as "you will own nothing".
In principle why would a mobile game that is huge implement a feature that rewards people for playing other smaller games? The whole point of these games is they want the maximum amount of time being spent in their game. This sounds moronic and beneficial for smaller games not bigger ones.
I believe the idea is:
>All gaylord's crypto games provide him with NFTs representing each of the things he earns
>gaylord then is able to use his crypto wallet to trade these NFTs from game to game
>gaylord is able to make use of these NFTs in other games to suit other purposes, generating other NFTs he can then use in other games
>gaylord thinks not only that all major companies would somehow do this out of the kindness of their own hearts, but that the crypto needed to generate all of this at once would have no sort of significant impact when it's already causing parts of the world to burn in pollutants due to the massive energy drain crypto mining generates
>5% chance of dropping
>only 4 in existence
Holy shit this guy never played a game in his life. I have played gacha games where I have multiple copies of shit that has a .001% chance of dropping and I know thousands of autists have the same thing
It really is scary how out of touch people that make decisions are.
>youve finished mining
>a HUGE upgrade
>that should keep your village safe for now
>(and great loot)
>grinding for better weapons
Man Im sure glad I only play arcade style games and that RPG shit never got to me outside a couple of them that have cool stories.
People that play any grinding games are soulless sad fricks and I want nothing to do with them, as far as Im concerned we are in different hobbies.
You have it backwards, the NFTs are the product, not the game. The game is just there to create artificial hype for their blockchain project and make it stand out. The actual audience for these types of projects isn't gamers, but NFTbros who already drank the kool-aid.
IIRC this dude was selling his own version of monkey jpegs except they were all "beastroid" characters. Which makes no sense because the game isn't even out yet.
Yeah you cant create something like magic the gathering secondary market without decades of good will and a game people want to play
They are trying to do it in reverse order, create the market first and then come up with a game but that is never going to work, people dont value things just because you tell them they have value.
The idea was flawed immediately and anybody with half a brain could see it.
>game one has NFT "super special sword" you paid big money for
>somehow and for some reason this completely different company is supposed to let you use that super special sword in their game as well instead of charging you money to get THEIR version of the sword
Like why would companies collude like that when they don't get any profit from it themselves? There's no benefit on putting other games' data in your own unless you're getting paid to do it (and you'll make more just selling your own sword).
Is Inafune one of the dumbest frickers in the video game industry? He could have coasted entirely on the undeserved goodwill towards him from Mega Man but instead he just gets into progressively stupider schemes to bastardize any legacy he had. MN9, NFTs, etc., does this guy have a shred of real talent that isn't just trying to milk people for money?
>Is Inafune one of the dumbest frickers in the video game industry?
Yes, him and Ben Judd are easily the stupidest people in gaming ever. Idiot conmen hypemen.
tight budget

Does this motherfricker not remember what happened when he tried this with Mighty No 9? Holy shit dude, nobody is gonna want to consume media about a game that hasn't come out yet, especially when it's about NFTs.
With all the money going in microtransactions, I never doubted NFTs that much. Consumers need just a little push anymore, it's gotten that bad.
Something big like Pokemon would be enough to make them a thing.
pokemon actually did try a prototypical version of nfts in the past in the form of event pokemon. look how you obtained deoxys in rse, for example
it's just not worth the trouble
NFT's seem inspired by the market for collector cards mixed with crypto currency. Rather than a currency it's a unique card. But Pokemon, magic the gathering cards, are like from an acutal game, and they have value. People play them. They like them. They have popular designs.
The companies realized these cards can be printed infinitely, so that can just be done digitally. So hwy not do make it all digital and make them collectables? But you can't "own" a jpg like you can a physical object. What's the difference between saving a jpg and "owning" an NFT that's a jpg? Nothing. You can look at them on a smartphone or tablet. That's it.
So the biggest obstacle is they have never epxlained the value to customers, and use buzzwords to get people to have a FOMO on the "next big thing". But that hype died over a year ago and it's just not going anywhere.
>The companies realized these cards can be printed infinitely, so that can just be done digitally
That's actually false. MTG for example had to STOP printing certain cards so that their value wouldnt depreciate and their buyers wouldnt get pissed off (trading cards like baseball cards was a very big thing back when mtg started out).
In fact, they have an entire list of cards that will NEVER be printed again. You will never see another print of the black lotus for example.
They already printed the black lotus in magic 30 bro
>but it has a different baaaack
Who cares, baby steps, they are coming for the reserve list and you are a fricking moron if you think they wont, I hope you dont have money on that.
>I hope you dont have money on that.
obviously not. Havent played mtg in like 10 years
>reprinted black lotus in magic 30
I had no idea. If they really are going back on the reserve list the fanbase and their artificially inflated market is gonna go nuclear. Fun times ahead!
>They already printed the black lotus in magic 30 bro
NOOOOOO MY RETIREMENT CARDBOARD!!!!
The NBA were one of the biggest to shill it first and my understanding of how it worked was you own something that happened in the NBA like some famous dunk Michael Jordan had you owned the rights to that dunk and anyone that showed it owed you royalty. Ok thats kinda interesting but no it's not that at all. You "own" a copy of that dunk that x amount of people also own and some blockchain I guess is what declares you and others as the owners but you aren't really a rights holder of that anyway. It's like those comics that grade comics and cards, that number really only holds a value to them and that's it. Another company could value it differently.
Konami did the same thing when they did that NFT Castlevania event awhile back where they sold the NFT 'rights' to certain artwork but then put in small print that you actually have no claim to the artwork at all and it's still property of Konami and don't you fricking dare say you own it or post it anywhere without permission.
Man thats funny, what a stupid world.
Always remember that this fricking guy is responsible for capcom's dark age back in the late 2000's with garbage like DmC
