Because you irrationally base your image of Kickstarter on this one project instead of all the great games that have come from it?
What a mess
Looking at the recent video
Why oh why did they not stick with the 2D art for heavens sake
They never intended to make a 2D game, so they couldn't stick to it
every time is see this screenshot i think of this
people are using this screenshot in every thread , it doesn't even related
Can I have my £12 back? I don't want the game anymore.
Not even a miracle is gonna stop the game from being a bomba.

I see more people being shocked and disbelief that it might be delayed again but, sure.

Plenty of smaller indie devs with seemingly less funding and resources than Comcept have been able to create 2d and hand drawn art for their games. It's not like that's some luxury exclusive to AAA devs or something. I always thought the reason they went with the weird 2.5d engine and art was to make it easier to scale and port to mobile.

Man, I really regret backing this for as much as I did.

Wasn't it originally supposed to release in April or May?

People seem to forget, this is Azure Striker:
Made by the same developer and surley hasn't had the budget of MN9.
Doesn't look amazing, but at least isn't activley repulsive to look at.

As someone who selected 3DS on the backer platform survey, I'd already more or less come to terms with the fact that I'll never be able to play this game. One more delay does nothing but make me laugh when my version of choice has never even been shown to exist in any form.
"Isn't actively repulsive"? Yo, Gunvolt looks fantastic! It's thanks to the fact that Gunvolt 2 is in development that I can so readily put Mighty No. 9 out of my mind without remorse.People seem to forget, this is Azure Striker:

Doesn't look any blander than Splosion man or Mega Mans.
THey aren't releasing their games for about 20 different platforms, though. That's one of the reasons why Mighty No. 9 made as much money as it did. Wii U, Vita & 3DS fans put a lot of money behind the project to get this game on their (weak) niche platforms. Comcept are also probably getting paid a monthly fair wage instead of the usual indie pay that is a far cry from how much professionals should be paid for their professional work.

Why would it even get delayed in the first place? It looked pretty much finished to me at E3.

This is why I don't back games or lock my money into something. I just pre-ordered the Wii U version at best buy and left it at that.

Original date on the KS was April 2015.
Yeah they (Intl Creates) have been making the Mega Man games for awhile and that and Mighty No 9. Only reason MN9 looks the way it does is because that's what Inafune wants.

Gunvolt rules. Shame it runs at 30 fps but it looks gorgeousPeople seem to forget, this is Azure Striker:

Game wasn't perfect but it's a solid foundation for a sequel (gameplay/aesthetic-wise, story is trash)

Yep. Gunvolt might have had little content, but what was there was rock solid. If it slips into next year, I probably won't bother to play it. Too many great games in the horizon.

Sylverstone14 often posts here and I believe he is a mod on Reddit. Neat seeing he got a response on Twitter from Kamiya. I would nerd out.
I'm going to hold out hope that Mighty Number 9 comes out this year. October may be a better release for it but maybe the end of September.

2D at that fidelity would cost millions on assets alone.

Don't worry guys I'm sure Fuze Entertainment will step in and save the day. Your pre-orders are safe with Fuze.

I would do naughty things for this and the sequel to come to PS4 and run in 1080p/60fps.

With amazing I mean art like Vanillaware would do, who are just ridiculous.
But in no way does either Azure or MN9 need to rival those, average is just fine and I do like the gameplay of azure, good game.

Does that really apply to Inafune? It seemed like he wanted to make Mega Man at Capcom. He certainly pushed many forward.

Inafune had a managerial role on most Mega Man games. He never contributed much to the creative process past a certain point.
Onimusha was Yoshiki Okamoto's brainchild in the first place. I think he has as much claim to the idea as Inafune does to "Mega Man". But generally, I think Inafune made a Mega Man-alike game not wholly because he cares about the character, but because it's a good business opportunity.

To be fair, I used it because it was, to me, a pretty funny response to what I quoted. :L
Do we know the circumstances behind him leaving Capcom? I always assumed he just left on his own accord.

Got anything to back that up?
Oh I thought you posted that quote because it made him seem like a hypocrite. Regardless of the whole Business Man vs Creator stuff, it's not like he left Capcom because he was sick of making Mega Man games.
I'm guessing that at some time during the last month they got in some 'mock reviewers', and were genuinely shocked at the 2 and 3 out of 10s they were given, so it's back to revamp things. There's a whole future media empire riding on this thing, after all. Anyway, it has ALWAYS looked like a 2/10 game from where I'm sitting, so I couldn't be less surprised.
Absolutely embarrassing for the MN9 guys looking at this.
Compare how mighty no. 9 looks to the upcoming Jetpack Squad which is being made by 2 dudes.

I sure hope so. It's sad to see it get delayed along with all the other backlash being thrown at him. I was looking forward to it now, but I guess I'm not so sure now.
Inafune plz

Inafune seems to already have the "never release the game ever" part of development down, thanks Vire
