Yeah, I suspect there will be another kickstarter, or maybe this is punishment for the disaster that is Red Ash.

 

[hawk2025]

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

Played like a damn fiddle.

 

[RangerBAD]

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

If the kickstarter fails for Red Ash, they're not going to see a dime.

 

[Sponge]

Are you kidding?

Can kickstarter ban Inafune from starting new project lol?

 

[thiscoldblack]

Another delay? No, thanks.

 

[Nokterian]

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

I can hear everything in his voice haha.

 

[Leafhopper]

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

Isn't that what they did the first time? That and the game is done at this point, I can't think of why they need to delay it this time.

 

[Bizzquik]

Came here for the hate, and I am already running out of popcorn.

 

[Ray Down]

Now the question is will Jim Sterling do a video on all this or will Kyle do another one?

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

Yeah, I suspect there will be another kickstarter, or maybe this is punishment for the disaster that is Red Ash.

Punishment from who? The only one truly fucked by the delay is Comcept...

 

[Zen_Arcade]

At least we have Mega Man Legacy Collection.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Yeah, I suspect there will be another kickstarter, or maybe this is punishment for the disaster that is Red Ash.

i suspect the timing of the Red Ash Kickstarter was precisely due to Inafune knowing this game wasn't coming out in September. Get all that money for another project, then announce the delay of the upcoming game after so that it doesn't hurt Red Ash.

If the Red Ash kickstarter had been successful, we wouldn't have heard this news until after it was over. We're hearing it now because they secured funding from Fuze. Nothing to lose.

 

[Sephzilla]

One step closer to its true destiny of being a Mega Man successor

 

[Hypertrooper]

I can see that the retail release of the packaged version is delayed because of the backslash of some backers.

 

[massoluk]

Mega Man curse. At least it's not outright cancelled.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

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

I'm actually wondering if they were counting on that RA money...

 

[GameE]

Didnt they say it was a mistake just a few days ago?

 

[Nocturno999]

At least we have Mega Man Legacy Collection.

Sweet irony.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

If the kickstarter fails for Red Ash, they're not going to see a dime.

Which is why they're delaying it?

I mean, it's no mystery that some developers use funding they secured for a new title in order to finish up another one already in production.

They probably expected Red Ash to get finished, used some of that money in order to finish up MN9, and they would've secured the funding anyways from FUZE thus besmirching exactly what the KS was paying for and what FUZE was paying for?

 

[Weiss]

It's really disheartening how poorly this is being handled. Now I just feel like they dug up the remains of the Legends series to kick it around again before dumping it back in.

Hype's still at maximum for Mighty No. 9, though. You couldn't pay me to not be excited.

 

[ViciousDS]

But, but it's the Game of the Year!!!!!
I even saw the rewards!

 

[vinnygambini]

 

[Ninja Scooter]

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.

I'm not saying I condone what Capcom did...but I understand.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

Didnt they say it was a mistake just a few days ago?

The Collectors edition cancellation in Amazon. Then again, Deep Silver also confirmed it as a mistake

 

[ElTorro]

Huh, I thought the game was already done. Didn't Inafune already start another kickstarter campaign?

 

[KingBroly]

Maybe they'll release it alongside the anime. Gotta have that all-so-important tie-in to promote sales.

 

[RK128]

That is odd, as the game looked solid and well on its way from its E3 showing this year......

My bet is that either the Red Ash Kickstarter had some impact on Mighty No. 9's development (leading to its delay) or that the game really needs more time in the oven to be a stronger product (maybe improve its visuals to make it more-in line with the concept art they showed off).

 

[kewlmyc]

Now the question is will Jim Sterling do a video on all this or will Kyle do another one?

Kyle?

 

[paolo11]

BUT CAN WE HAVE MORE MONEY THOUGH?

Hahaha, this cracked me up.

But yeah, kinda sucks it got delayed if true.

What sort of impact would the Red Ash KS have on Mighty No. 9??

 

[hawk2025]

Kyle?

Kyle Katarn, jedi knight.

 

[Sami+]

Lol I can't believe I had the good faith to back this shit. Fuck off Inafune.

 

[MrBadger]

I'm going to make a drinking game for Inafune threads and take a drink every time I see that Kamiya tweet

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

You don't say. I just didn't think it was possible for anything else to go wrong with Inafune's projects...

 

[doctorblurg]

I'm so glad I had dropped my donation down to the 20 dollar tier when I had it 80 way back when.
What shit show this has become

 

[shacklesmcgee]

What in the hell is going on with this game, it really doesn't look that good and it's getting delayed now? And the Red Ash kickstarter did not help with Concepts image...

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

And this is why I will never back a video game kickstarter.

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

Well, that speed run video did look kinda rough

 

[Sonson21]

Didn't know 2D platformers took long to make.

 

[Sylverstone14]

Damn it, my Twitter's gonna blow up later.

 

[Leafhopper]

Well, that speed run video did look kinda rough

That was the game in its final phase though.

 

[Menome]

Mighty No. 9 Months Late.

 

[RK128]

What sort of impact would the Red Ash KS have on Mighty No. 9??

I guess they are pulling funding from Mighty No. 9 to get work done on Red Ash or something.

Both games faced a lot of backlash as well, so something has to explain this delay :l.

My last to guesses are the following:
-They want to finish work on the 3DS and Vita versions so that can launch alongside the console/PC ports
-Tie the game to the upcoming animated series next year (which that will be finished by).

 

[Manu]

Oh for fuck's sake.

It's incredible how much respect I've lost for Inafune in the last few months. Guy made my favorite game ever but now he's doing bad choice after bad choice.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

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

but that is one of the charms that makes this threads unbearable for the people that actually backed or were interested in the product.

 

[Kuro]

First game I backed
Lesson learned.

 

[FelipeMGM]

Wow, Inafune really isnt having an easy time these days.


I hope nothing happens to Recore

 

[TFRazorsaw]

and thus Inafune's house of cards begins to crumble.

 

[Corpekata]

I thought it looked pretty fun in the last few showings, I'm disappointed.

 

[Jawmuncher]

First game I backed
Lesson learned.

At least you know it's coming at some point. My first backing never even came to fruition.
