Mighty No. 9 |OT| A Mighty No. 2

 

[Hasemo]

I know it doesn't really mean anything, but the Famitsu score for all platforms was 8/8/7/7 [30/40].

 

[UraMallas]

I'm so sorry for the backers

Don't be. It was $20. You win some and lose some. Bloodstained and Yooka-Laylee look on point and they are bought and paid for already, too.

Saying that, I still think I'll get enjoyment out of this game. It looks fun to me!

Mighty No. 9 |OT| A Mighty No. 2

Best one so far

 

[orthodoxy1095]

God is a Geek - 7/10

After all the hype, controversy, and delays, the end results are satisfying. Some may be turned off by the shortness of the standard game, others may be turned off by the toughness of some of the bosses, but there are plenty of nostalgic and challenge-seeking players that will get a kick out of Mighty No. 9. There’s a hope in me that there’ll be a sequel, one that really pushes the formula forward, but for now, this is just another Mega Man game – make of that what you will.

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

At least it sounds like it's just average and bland rather than an abject disaster. Though the latter might have been more entertaining.

Ah so that's where some of that KS money went.

Mighty No. 9 |OT| More Like Nein

 

[Dan]

At least I can take solace in having also backed Hyper Light Drifter and Shantae: Half-Genie Hero back in the fall of 2013. Two out of three ain't bad, right?

 

[Zonic]

Eurogamer

"There is, however, no explanation of each of these abilities or how best to use them. As the level structure is entirely open, the designers don't know whether or not you will have unlocked specific abilities by the time you reach certain areas, and so cannot design levels or even set-pieces around newly acquired skills. In this way, the design feels disparate, rather than focused and gives the game an unfinished, or at least, disharmonious feel."

Oh god, for some reason, reading that made me think of Mega Man X6.

REALLY hope there's a demo for this. I was hoping despite all the crap that's happened with this game & how long we've had to wait, it would at least turn out decent, but it seems to be just "meh".

 

[Choppasmith]

Man, I backed this back in the day. A full 100 dollars I believe. I was really caught up in that spiritual successor hype. Even though I have a free Wii U copy on the way, I don't even want to play it now.

 

[bounchfx]

Man what the fuck happened. Huge letdown

 

[sprsk]

How long till someone mods in better graphics?

 

[Xater]

Not surprised, it looked terrible in basically every video.

My only supported Kickstarter that turned out bad. It was bound to happen eventually I guess. Never gonna give Inafune money again though.

 

[Past]

Glad I cancelled my pre-order.

 

[Air Zombie Meat]

It's more than a game, it's a piece of performance art.

 

[Hip Hop]

Remember when people had Mighty No. 9 avatars.....


yikes.

 

[Reishiki]

Can't say I'm surprised.

This game almost seems worthy of a case study at this point.

Studies will be written, that I guarantee.

 

[silva1991]

Obligatory:

Lmao

this is like a homunculus death scene in Fullmetal Alchemist

Mighty No. 9 |OT| Four Million Dollars

this should be it.

 

[Ivan 3414]

This is the game that is going to make people wary of Kickstarters for good

 

[killatopak]

boom

 

[Trace]

I'm still surprised that they spent four million dollars, three years and multiple delays, and they released a four hour campaign that looks like shit. What have they been spending their time doing?

 

[Vazra]

It's more than a game, it's a piece of performance art.

And a cartoon series, live action movie and a sequel.

 

[Holundrian]

I'm still surprised that they spent four million dollars, three years and multiple delays, and they released a four hour campaign that looks like shit. What have they been spending their time doing?

Cute Call designs.

 

[SirNinja]

Pretty generous scores from what I've seen of it so far.

[spindashing]

Glad I cancelled my pre-order.

Same here.

 

[Wanderer5]

Man it sucks, but not surprising.

Glad I didn't touch this or Red Ash with my money. (Red Ash failed though, right?)

Red Ash got funded by a Chinese company, least the first ep or something. I just hope the anime short or whatever is nice heh.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

This is the game that is going to make people wary of Kickstarters for good

I doubt that. There have been plenty of good KS titles.

 

[chrono01]

I'm still surprised that they spent four million dollars, three years and multiple delays, and they released a four hour campaign that looks like shit. What have they been spending their time doing?

Making a Mighty No. 9 TV series, movie and a breakfast cereal (probably).

 

[MilkBeard]

This is the game that is going to make people wary of Kickstarters for good

Perhaps. And if Shenmue turns out good, then they will be back again.

Hey, Pizza Hut gave us the amazing Stuffed Crust Pizza. Inafune has done no such thing to my knowledge.

 

[Plywood]

 

[Anth0ny]

yup. saw this coming from a mile away.

how unfortunate.

 

[Creaking]

It's all over now. The dark side is taking you.

(a delayed game is eventually good)

(except...)

 

[GravityInsanity]

 

[baphomet]

Looked like shit from the beginning.

Unfortunately doesn't look like they ever bothered improving anything.

 

[Neonep]

I know reviews don't mean much but man when the majority of the reviews are bad. Whew.

 

[StoveOven]

This is the game that is going to make people wary of Kickstarters for good

I think for good is pushing it. If Bloodstained and Yooka-Laylee turn out fine, then these "spiritual successor Kickstarter" projects will still have some life

 

[UraMallas]

Perhaps. And if Shenmue turns out good, then they will be back again.

Bloodstained and Yooka-Laylee already looking to wash the taste out. Honestly, it isn't even that bad. It's just looking average.

 

[KingBroly]

Perhaps. And if Shenmue turns out good, then they will be back again.

I doubt Shenmue's going to turn out well. The PR for it has been AWFUL.

 

[CrazyHal]

Is it safe to say that Inafune's reputation is completely ruined at this point?

 

[Calm Mind]

The only thing worse than the scores will be the terrible jokes the game will spawn.

 

[dity]

Mighty No. 6.5 is more like it, eh Inafune?

 

[ElTorro]

Eurogamer's conclusion doesn't even sound that bad.

 

[Ghost is Bad]

the ign guy sounds mad the game is too easy while everyone else is calling it hard as shit

 

[Hidden One]

4 million dollars/10 mega busters

 

[TheGreatLugia]

Is it safe to say that Inafune's reputation is completely ruin at this point?

In other words, it's the perfect time for another Kickstarter!

 

[MilkBeard]

I doubt Shenmue's going to turn out well. The PR for it has been AWFUL.

PR /= developer team

I feel that Yu Suzuki will deliver.

 

[Mechazawa]

They just had to make a good Mega Man-like.

They've done this before.

Numerous times.

How did they fuck this up.
