Bloodstained Series.

If it is successful I would say the chances of there being more is highly likely.

I would just expect more games most likely I wouldn't count on a manga since they are primarily aiming at a western audience. Maybe novels and possibly movies if it got REALLY popular... probably just more games though.

I would love a sequel if the game is successful

First game isn't even out and people are already theroycrafting the sequel LOL

Anyway it seems clear to me from interviews and what not that IGA is forward thinking enough that assuming Bloodstained does well there will be more. I'm sure he's leaving the appropriate story hooks in the game to make a sequel have an easy jumping off point (whilst still producing a solid ending for this game).

On a side note, I never understood why Inafune took heat for that MN9 cartoon. Launching TV shows with or shortly after (which usually means you have to start planning things before the main product/game comes out) the release of a major product is a pretty standard thing across entertainment history. The Mega Man IP was at its strongest when you had merchandise and other stuff out in the open alongside the games. Given that it wasn't using any Kickstarter money nor were many if any of the staff working on the game was going to be involved in the show, I can only assume a lot of people were upset because it played against the "little guy vs the man" narrative than anything immoral or irresponsible Inafune did. It was and continues to be such a strange reaction to me that was never fully based in reality.

Never hurts to have too much discussion! It can also help give the developers/IGA an overall idea of how the community feels about certain topics. Hope more people participate/share their thoughts as well. 

I have no doubt that they're going to leave certain things vague in order to expand on the on future games. We know so far that demons have attacked 10 years prior to the main game. We also know this castle was made for Miriam, so I wonder how they're going to explain castles in the future games. Maybe the castle itself has borrowed elements from a demon castle from Hell itself? Also, I am not too familiar with alchemist mythology myself so I don't any speculation from that yet.

I agree that MN9 tends to get over exaggerated heat over anything. I think that is the result of a community divided within itself and also with the company. It is made worse by the fact that the fans had funded their main IP, and there had been many mistakes made since the development of their first project. Still though, what's done is done and much has hopefully been learned. I'm hoping the Army of the Night continues to grow strong, even after the initial release!

I've no meaningful objection to a sequel. Perhaps my tune will change after playing Bloodstained or seeing the ending, but for now I'd be open to Bloodstained 2 (plus smaller side-games) if the first is a success.

Not sure how I feel about the idea of another Kickstarter for the next Bloodstained, but at least I'd hope that it won't be anywhere near as badly timed as Inafune's Red Ash Kickstarter. (Announced on a Saturday when most news outlets wouldn't report it, on the 4th of July when most Americans weren't at their computers, and in the middle of Shenmue 3's Kickstarter.)

Also, while it's not likely due to them only being made for characters who appear in Nintendo games, but I'd love it if amiibos for Miriam and other Bloodstained characters were made.

Yes, that or in a interview.

I would love to have sequels of course, but not every year to keep things fresh, maybe every two or three years. I like the idea of a manga and maybe an animated film.
