Anyone else taking a small amount of satisfaction from the fact that after he would trash talk the entire Japanese game industry for years on end for being behind the west, he left Capcom to make a love sim on a system virtually dead in the west? What a bunch of hot air that was.
*cough* *cough* hypocrite *cough* ...

Maybe Inafune and Idea Factory will give girl gamers their own equivalent of Mega Man or even My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic that ends up generating a lot of periphery demographic appeal?
That might be a touch too optimistic(though not necessarily). Have faith that it will likely be a 'love sim' that is more approachable and a great deal more enjoyable than anything else in that genre, for all that goes for.

So basically he said that Capcom was getting "too western" ( I agree with that, though) so he left the company and started working in the absolutely worst kind of japanese game possible? Keiji Inafune? The creator of my childhood icon, Megaman?
I think I'm just going to cry on a corner or something...

Or they could just play Megaman, girls aren't required to play or watch things that are "Girly"

JAPAN IS DEAD. We need to be more like the West. Capcom, I quit. Now I unveil my next super project. It will be bigger than any shooter. Bigger than Activision. It will set the world on fire. It will appeal to Westerners in ways that no game has before. I give you...A DATING SIM for PSP. The most popular genre for the most popular platform. Give me all your moneys.
While I want to drop my jaw and go "Are you fucking serious you fucking prick?", reading the description makes me think that this could be really interesting.
I mean, how many love stories are framed within a terrorist hostage situation featuring a man in a bear suit?
Only in Japan.

Oh man Idea Factory. I'm trying to find it, but I remember hardcoregaming101 had an article about that company's infamous reputation and vulgar nickname in Japan.
I kind of get the feeling that Inafune isn't really looking for serious work right now, just whatever he feels like that day when he wakes up. It's like the game development version of a midlife crisis.

well, i´m sure it will be a cool game for girls specially now that he can do wathever the hell he wants because he is his own boss, assuming he really wants to do this game, i´m sure he will do the best he can to make it great
Inafune: JAPAN SAWX.
Fans, JPN Devs: FUCK IT, LET'S HEAD WESTWARD!
*inafune leaves Capcom*
Inafune:My next project is.......A DATING SIM.
Fans, JPN Devs: WAT.

Guys, hear me out.
He knows gamers aren't getting any love from Capcom (or from most people, for that matter). So he's decided to give back to them by helping make a game where the goal is to find love!
All kidding aside, he left Capcom because he couldn't stand how restricting they were as a company. They wouldn't let him do the things HE wanted to do or how HE wanted. Capcom was too much of a "srsbsns" company that focused more on what the stockholders thought and he couldn't take it anymore. Yes, he's working on a love simulation game. Ha ha. However, projects like that aren't hampered by big business models, nor do they restrict creativity for the sake of making sure the investors keep their stocks.
Remember, this is just something he's helping make. Not something he's doing himself. Everyone has to start off somewhere when it comes to making games. Not everyone started off with a success right off the bat. Hell, look at Yuji Naka. He left Sega and Sonic Team to start Prope. He started off with Sega doing projects like Phantasy Star and Sonic the Hedgehog. Now he's struggling to make sales with games like Ivy the Kiwi and Let's Tap. But at the end of the day, those are games HE wanted to make and you can sense that enthusiasm from him. Inafune is more than likely no different.

People are complaining about a Dating/Social Sim? Wasn't PERSONA 3 & 4 partially that also (combined with dungeon crawler aspects)? Though I doubt this game will hold a candle to any of those two games.
I can't believe people saying that inafune is somehow a traitor to megaman. So he didn't leave capcom to make an epic game for all us western gamers. Give him some time, and stop being so damn judgmental, he made megaman games for years, he deserves your respect, especially if he made games you liked for years.
What the fuck Inafune? I want to call to a hypocrite, but that would be wrong. This could just be temporary work, but with this and Neptunia (cameo, as seen in the header) it seems like he'll be working with Idea Factory for awhile.
If he does a third game with them then no more excuses, just fuck him. I like Japanese games, but Idea Factory enters a territory that is too dark for me.

I know everyone is up in arms over Capcom, Inafune and Mega Man however
The premise of this game sounds amazing, I would love to see a translation.

interesting, for the man that looks reallylove western so much, now involved developing a dating sim and even more surprising this dating sim is an OTOME GAME!!!! , (dating sim targeted toward GIRL (reverse harem!))
"A theme park taken over by a person in a bear suit"
This sounds AWESOME!!!! It's just weird enough to make me go out and buy a new PSP.

If girls want their own Mega Man, they should play Mega Man. Likewise, if Rosenkreuzstilette plays like Mega Man, guys who like Mega Man should give it a try, too.

He said that in the last Tokyo Game Show he saw that Japan was 5 years behind the globe in terms of gaming.
And he left Capcom because the company wasn't taking globalization seriously.
Correct me if I'm wrong here...
But if he said and really mean't to say that.
Making a Dating Sim isn't like the WORST POSSIBLE MOVE?
