Agreed. Hopefully he'll pull something like Inafune did and start up an indie studio. Unfortunately that means we'll prolly never see one of his games on a physical format ever again though.
Yeah, and sadly no matter how much praise a potential Igarashi indi project would get, I still could not buy it if it was digital only.
As amazing as Mighty 9 looks, I can't buy it unless it saw a physical release. They are definitely beyond the hardware capabilities of retro consoles, but would love to see some of these indi releases get a very limited cartridge or CD release for an older system. I'd be the first in line to buy them, even if they were over $100 each.
