Update 06/22

Deep Silver:

“We’re aware of some isolated incidents of consumers experiencing issues on Wii U, and they’re actually being addressed in a patch that’s deploying out on Wii U systems today. “The patch is already live in Europe, and should be hitting U.S. before the end of the day.”

Posted yesterday on GoNintendo.

So, I'm seeing reports on my timeline of the game freezing Wii U and requiring hard reset.....

Also, seems Wii U version runs horribly... https://www.reddit.com/r/MightyNo9/comments/4p1j4f/just_got_it_early/d4hb37a

Via my friend axisofweevils in the OT, but thought others may want to see.

Per Reddit:

reddit poster said:
Haven't beat any bosses. I played through about half of the levels before saying "fuck it" and quitting.

•The game lags extremely badly and has frame glitches all over the place, so you'll be in a time sensitive spot, and die because the screen glitches and you ran into a spike or something.

•I'd say it's closest to MegaMan X6 specifically because of the "difficulty" in the level design. What I mean by that is, it's not hard in the sense of "we made this challenging and hope you can get past it and enjoy it because of the challenge." It's hard in a "we made this level design this way because Fuck You."

•The load times are a joke (at least on Wii U). If you die, you are looking at about 30-45 seconds of a black loading screen before the level restarts.

All in all, it just feels extremely unpolished and VERY much like an early beta. But aside from the technical issues, the game just isn't good.

on which level was least bad said:
Probably Pyrogen (flame guy) or whatever. Simply for the fact that it was the only level that didn't totally freeze my Wii U upon entering it. Seriously. Like 50% of the time, choosing a stage on the Stage Select screen would go to a black loading screen and then instantly freeze my entire system, forcing me to do a hard-reboot of the Wii U.

Wonder if it's different based on storage location (USB drive vs. internal storage)

To clarify, there is a way to skip through backer numbers. (The + button.)

Also, framerate stutters a lot, especially when the screen gets busy.

Boogiepop said:
If nothing else, I can confirm that there's a far too long load time post-death on the WiiU version.

B_Bech said:
Can confirm. The DLC level is a slideshow. There's 30 second loads to get in and out of the options menu. Still playable though, and I have yet to recieve a crash.

Giolon said:
For me, it takes 30-45 seconds to load the options menu after first boot, but only about 5 seconds to return from the options. After that, it's a 3-5 second load for the options menu every time.

There have been a few areas where the frame rate took a dive momentarily, but overall it's running fine on Wii U. Also, I'm the one from the OP that said death load times are "only" 10-15 seconds. My game is installed on an external HDD.

A 30+ second load time after dying in a 2D action sidescroller. I honestly could not deal with something like that.

SinCityAssassin · Jun 21, 2016

Well fuck me.

Kouriozan · Jun 21, 2016

That sounds horrible, I guess those fire/explosion effects don't help at all.

It's better than nothing!

El Topo · Jun 21, 2016

Oh boy. Can you imagine what the 3DS version is going to be like?

PsihoPerihelion · Jun 21, 2016

It's a UE3 game. Unreal tech runs like hot garbage on Wii U, it needs a CPU more powerful than an overclocked Pentium 4.

Huh? I thought this was made on Unity?

Dr. Black Jack · Jun 21, 2016

Welp, there it is. Will head out and get my $5 back this afternoon.

Tertullian · Jun 21, 2016

They can't get what is, by all appearances, a particularly ugly PS1 game to run on a Wii U? Okay.

TheMoon · Jun 21, 2016

Don't all versions run poorly? That IGN video review mentions performance problems in the PS4 version as well. They really fucked up with making this in a 3D engine, I think.

El Topo said:

Maybe secretly the best since they have to start from scratch, code wise. lol

Sylverstone14 · Jun 21, 2016

Yeah, I tried downloading it twice and twice my system was buzzing, hardlocked.

The third time worked, but I haven't played any of the game since I'm sifting through the credits looking for my name.

Also, holy hell, these are some LOOOOONG credits. Wish I could just scroll and find my name.

At this point, nothing probably would've been better for everyone ... considering all the caused disappointment, killed reputations and so on.

What a mess.

What a total clusterfuck this game is. Literally nothing has gone right.

Instant dealbreaker. That isn't even the tiniest little bit acceptable in a 2D sidescroller.

Those stretch goals really damned this game.

Whelp.

Not only is it mediocre game. It's now a mediocre game I can't even try.

I can't be anymore MIGHTY disappointed

Shpeshal Nick · Jun 21, 2016

I wonder if this is the the clusterfuck to top Master Chief Collection.

Probably not.

Crayolan · Jun 21, 2016

Good thing I asked for the Wii U version.

:/

Emu-Fred · Jun 21, 2016

Oh god I just realize, my name is going to be in the credits

I helped make this happen.

Nooooo

Right? I'm not sure I'm even going to install the code I'm getting. I don't want to freeze the Wii U. I have a lot of stuff on my int. and ext. HDs. I don't want to lose any data or accidentally brick the system.

I was pretty hyped up for this game, but decided not to back it; Cancelled my preorder on amazon and will wait for a cheaper price on the PS4 version. I was initially looking to get the WiiU release but reading that reddit thread made me nix the plan.

The backers are well within their rights to ask for their money back, tbh.

LiveFromKyoto · Jun 21, 2016

Wow, that sucks. I initially had this version requested from the kickstarter, but I went with PS4 because of Vita cross buy. I'm skeptical the Vita version will turn out alright now too. I guess PS4 it is.

khaaan · Jun 21, 2016

For what it's worth, a GAF'er with the Wii U version claims it's not as bad as the reddit post is making it out to be.

what a disaster this game turned out to be

I was going to back this too, glad I decided to just wait it out

It's a UE3 game. Unreal tech runs like hot garbage on Wii U, it needs a CPU more powerful than an overclocked Pentium 4.

Batman AC, AO and Injustice run fine on Wii U along with some other UE3 games. This is just bad/lazy programming.

ElBoxyBrown · Jun 21, 2016

I guess the Xbox One version is the best running version. I haven't had any bugs.

TheSlySoul · Jun 21, 2016

Makes me curious how much worse the 3DS version of it is...

zenosparadox · Jun 21, 2016

That is some terrible programming if it takes 30-45 seconds to reload the stage after dying.

Foffy · Jun 21, 2016

El Topo said:

I cannot.

I can't wait for impressions.

ElBoxyBrown · Jun 21, 2016

I wouldn't be surprised if the 3DS and Vita version runs and looks way better than the console versions. This game looks like it was made for handhelds.

NaDannMaGoGo · Jun 21, 2016

But defense forces were quick to call out the extremely low visual fidelity due to all these ports on weaker system. When even the WiiU is a technical disaster, How will the fricking 3DS fare.

-shadow- · Jun 21, 2016

Well this would've been a good point were it not that there are more games on the WiiU that use the same engine and perform just fine. This just screams piss poor programming and/or optimisation.

Rodin · Jun 21, 2016

Oh wow. This game keeps looking worse and worse, what the fuck did Inafune do with all those money? This raised a lot on ks, right?

Adding these to OP. Thanks. I think Transistor may be on to something here. I know this has been an issue for some games in the past.

Rodin said:

Removed. Thank you.

NOLA_Gaffer · Jun 21, 2016

So there's no way I can request a refund through Kickstarter or anything, huh? At this point I'd love to just wash my hands of this whole situation.

My two platform choices are Wii U and 3DS, and I figure the 3DS version will probably be even worse off.

Pokemaniac · Jun 21, 2016

I was worried about how this was going to perform as soon as they announced it would be built with UE3. That engine really doesn't have that good of a history with the Wii U.

PsihoPerihelion said:

Unity isn't on 3DS, is it? Will this be locked to N3DS?

Mr-Joker · Jun 21, 2016

Ugh the whole thing is just a mess, I did not back for a shitty mediocre game that would brick my Wii U.

I am just gonna push for a refund citing EU Law as the game is not in a fit state to be played at all.

Diddy Kong · Jun 21, 2016

Fuck this game

Koppai · Jun 21, 2016

I remember when people were trying to get me to contribute, and I live by the mantra of what if the game sucks? :< sorry that it turned out bad guys.

P.S.A.: apparently the Wii U version of Mighty #9 does not run well
