Keiji Inafune and Seiichi Ishii with Minnapad for New Web3 Projects

Singapore, Singapore, April 12th, 2023, Chainwire

Famed Developers of Iconic Game Franchises, Mega Man and Tekken to Serve as Inaugural Legends DAO Partners with Their Original IPs, BEASTROID and BRAIN FIGHTER, on a New Platform

Minnapad, a create-to-earn DAO launchpad and NFT marketplace that provides access to renowned Japanese creators, announced the first two DAOs in a series planned for this year. The inaugural kick-off will be in partnership with two game creators, allowing fans to collaboratively create legendary DAO projects and have ownership of exciting new IPs from their respective heroes. The first DAO will be in partnership with Keiji Inafune, and debut the new IP BEASTROID in video games, comics, anime and physical mediums, in addition to NFT collections. Minnapad will then launch BRAIN FIGHTER, an IP with warriors controlled with brain waves, with Seiichi Ishii who pioneered the 3D fighting game genre through his work on Tekken and Virtua Fighter. Both are scheduled for Q2 2023.

Mr. Inafune is best known for giving the Mega Man franchise its distinctive visual style and producing several titles during his tenure at Capcom. Mr. Inafune is utilizing his love of creating new IP to fuel his new project. Mr. Inafune’s DAO aims to offer original characters built around a compelling post-apocalyptic world where humans fight for survival. Mechanized animal creatures called “BEASTROID” are humanity’s only hope to reach a safe haven called Paradise. Minnapad and Mr. Inafune have partnered to breathe new life into the initial BEASTROID NFT collection, inviting existing holders to the DAO membership presale and providing utility in the Minnapad ecosystem in the near future. More information about the presale will be shared soon.

“Minnapad is doing something new with Japanese content, bringing together the power of many opinions united as one,” said Keiji Inafune, creator of BEASTROID. “It is the perfect platform for BEASTROID to come to life. It’s not simply a game, but we will keep developing it in different ways, together with fellow DAO members. In addition to BEASTROID, I have high hopes many new IPs will be born from this DAO.”
