Game Informer has received additional information about the quiet delay of Mighty No. 9, with further substantiation that it will miss its September 15 release. The game does not have a new release date, but the most recent information reaffirms that retailer listings of 2016 are accurate.

[McDougles]

BUT CAN WE HAVE MORE MONEY THOUGH?

 

[Toki767]

Wonder what happened. Didn't the game seem pretty far along during E3?

 

[Leafhopper]

Uhhh. That date was pretty well locked. What the hell?

It originally having an April 2015 release and then September and now another delay...oh boy.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

here comes the third KS for MN9

 

[Gestault]

Well this would be...interesting.

THE RIDE NEVER ENDS

This has to be some kind of mistake on GameInformer's part, no?

 

[Crono27]

part of me is not surprised.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

muted backgrounds, cel shading for foreground characters with primary colours, less cluttered gui

believe

 

[Hazu]

Probably to avoid releasing their game at the same time as Super Mario Maker.

 

[nobodyshero]

Hopefully it's to make it look less bland as hell

 

[Raysoul]

This kickstarter is a mistake, it's nothing but cash.

 

[Cheeseman Battitude]

I've always felt it was moving too quickly. Hasn't it been leass than a year or around a year?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Sometimes you have to give creators like Inafune time to let their creations come to life.

 

[Boke1879]

Who's publishing this game in the west? Why so coy about a delay or release date

 

[KZXcellent]

As if I could be any more disgusted with Inafune.

NEW STRETCH GOAL: QA Testing

 

[Escalario]

Wouldn't weird me if good part of the Red Ash kickstarter money was gonna be used to finish MN9 :V

 

[sturgboski]

Redh Ash Stretch Goal: Get MN9 released this year at $2m

 

[sixteen-bit]

i wanna read a book about this game's sordid dev history, lmao

 

[mindsale]

More like "Flighty No. 9."
More like "Mighty No. Nein."
More like "Mighty Bumbler 9."

Seriously I wanted to play this game.

 

[RecursiveFault]

Delays like this when preorders are up? Yeesh

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Wonder what happened. Didn't the game seem pretty far along during E3?

Maybe they needed the KS money from Red Ash in order to finish it?

 

[Roldan]

First, all that mess with FUZE and Red Ash, now this... huh.

 

[KingBroly]

THE RIDE NEVER ENDS

It's been reported/listed that it was going to be delayed a lot lately.

 

[Ray Down]

Hasn't been a good month for Inafune.

 

[spindashing]

LMAO WHY UGH

 

[cpp_is_king]

Hopefully they're delaying it so they can totally kill the art design and level design with a 1 ton cannon and start over from scratch. Because it looks like shit, honestly :-/

 

[Mookie1515]

Less than 6 weeks away, and they are gonna push it 3 months +?

Thats insane, and almost unbelievable if this didn't come from a reliable source. What the heck is going on.

This and the Red Ash failure are really disconcerting.

Deep Silver, I believe.

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

Mighty No. Never

GameStop (Disclosure: GameStop is Game Informer’s parent company) tells us on background that notification of delays such as this one are initiated by the publisher. This includes placeholder dates that are put in place when a game is first listed or, in this case, delayed. This indicates that the 2016 placeholder was driven by Deep Silver and Comcept, both of whom we've reached out to for comment.

Thank goodness I've never funded it.

 

[Mcdohl]

BUT CAN WE HAVE MORE MONEY THOUGH?

With stretch goal: Actually release in 2015!

Seriously though, I wonder if they are polishing it due to the negative feedback.

 

[Cabal]

Redh Ash Stretch Goal: Get MN9 released this year at $2m

Part of me wants to see this, just to witness the amount of anguish that would occur because of it.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

Thank goodness I've never funded it.

Is a meme.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

we should ban that tweet because it adds nothing to the conversation and every inafune thread is a race to post that ancient thing again and again

 

[RandomExpletive]

This is simultaneously the worst and best news... I wish Inafune wasn't muffing everything up but GOD is it fun to watch

 

[BiggNife]

Can't wait for the Kickstarter post

"Good News, Everyone! We made a new business deal where we'll get two times more funding if we delay the game until the next fiscal quarter!"

Spoiler

I made all that up, it's a joke

 

[MogCakes]

I'm sincerely regretting my declaration that Kamiya was wrong about Inafune. What a mess

 

[SerTapTap]

Didn't they say the game was basically done which is part of why Red Ash's KS hit when it did?

 

[James Scott]

Probably too busy working on the DLC

 

[Xav]

Don't give him too much credit. He pretty much just does some initial drawings and then spends the rest of his time wondering how he can suck more money out of us.

 

[Kriken]

I just want the game, I want off Mr. Inafune's wild ride

 

[NeonBlack]

KickStarter was a mistake, its nothing but trash.

 

[Nydius]

Wonder what happened. Didn't the game seem pretty far along during E3?

Uhhh. That date was pretty well locked. What the hell?

These are my thoughts as well. After E3, I was fairly certain 9/15 date was pretty much set in stone meaning they should currently be in the polishing and going-gold phase. If this ends up being accurate, something major must have happened or they were completely misrepresenting how close to complete the game was.

Either way gives me cause for concern. Also, if this does turn out to be true I think a "silent delay" that's exposed would end up hurting the Red Ash kickstarter far more than simply being open and honest about delays.

 

[meanspartan]

BUT CAN WE HAVE MORE MONEY THOUGH?

here comes the third KS for MN9

This kickstarter is a mistake, it's nothing but cash.

That moment when Gamers realize what a publisher feels like when dealing with how much of an endless money blackhole Creatives can be if they are not controlled.

/s, but it is kinda cool that Kickstarter is putting donors in a similar position as publishers, but without any of the benefits like the profit which would result from a successful game release.

 

[Anth0ny]

inafune



inafune pls

 

[blast processed]

Must need more time for the on disc DLC.
