Mighty No. 9 has had a troubling development history and now it looks like it's been delayed again. According to its Xbox Store listing, the title is now scheduled to release on December 2.

Legends never die

 

[ponpo]

Does anyone else feel some sort of guilty pleasure whenever bad news regarding this game comes out?

Sorry backers.

 

[Mendrox]

This cannot be true?

What a trainwreck and I am sorry for all the backers...

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Of course it is.

 

[Shredderi]

Still because of networking stuff?

 

[BY2K]

So the 9 in the title really refers to the number of delays this game will get.

Also, C'MON, INAFUNE.

 

[Broken Joystick]

The Last Guardian and FFXV will probably release before this game ever comes out.

 

[TheWorthyEdge]

Jesus.

I feel bad for all of the backers, but mostly Colin Moriarty. He needs this game.

 

[Hyperfludd]

Better be getting quite the addition, then. (If legit.)

 

[duckroll]

Isn't that 12 Feb 2016, the original release date outside of the US?

Mighty No. 9 Month Delay

Spoiler

For Now

 

[KaYotiX]

Actually was looking forward to this game.

That was months ago... Not sure if I'll buy it now.

 

[Guymelef]

So this is why Horizon and Scalebound were moved to 2017.

 

[ShogunDarius]

Inafune's name is not going to have the same weight behind it after all the MN9 and RA kerfuffles

 

[KHlover]

Fuck this if true. I don't think I'll even play this game. Couldn't take the disappointment if it were a bad game. I'll sell my key on ebay or something and that will be it.

 

[S1kkZ]

150 dollars....

 

[Servbot24]

Actually was looking forward to this game.

I'll buy it if it's a good game that will be fun to pay.

I feel sorry for the backers though.

 

[MrT-Tar]

I'm honestly no longer disappointed. I now expect no different.

 

[EvilKatarn]

I don't think anyone can even call Inafune a good business man at this point.

 

[Jinketsu]

This game is going to review very poorly. It's not going to be some big epic like the amount of time it's taken to develop would have us believe, and everyone is going to shit on it as a result

You had a dream, Inafune. It was irresponsible of you to take that dream and try to manufacture 4 other dreams at the same time.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

So is this gonna get delayed so long that we'll been into the next gen by the time it finally ships?

 

[Berordn]

Does anyone else feel some sort of guilty pleasure whenever bad news regarding this game comes out?

Sorry backers.

I backed it, and yes.

Though this is either a placeholder or the original date in another format until it shows up elsewhere.

 

[NotLiquid]

Isn't that 12 Feb 2016, the original release date outside of the US?

I was wondering about this too but I don't know how the US handles calendar syntax.

That said I still don't think it's going to be delayed this far ahead.

 

[NoKisum]

Holy shit. I made a bet with someone yesterday morning saying the game was gonna be delayed to after Thanksgiving given the recent track record. About to go collect later today. Thanks Inafune!

 

[KingBroly]

US site says 12/2/2016, so it's accurate I guess.

 

[Jazzem]

...

...;_;

Wish I'd backed Bloodstained instead.

 

[Gattsu25]

Isn't that 12 Feb 2016, the original release date outside of the US?

Is this a case of a US based website not knowing how dates work in the rest of the world?

 

[giancarlo123x]

Lmfao if true.

 

[120v]

Q4 2016 sounds about right, regardless

 

[Weiss]

Capcom's probably going to make a new Mega Man before this comes out at this rate.

 

[LuigiBlood]

2 December = 12/02
12 February = 02/12

I think the day and month was switched by mistake.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

LOL!

 

[KarmaCow]

Isn't that 12 Feb 2016, the original release date outside of the US?

That makes a lot more sense than the game getting a very specific release date that is 7 months out despite supposedly coming out within the next 2 months.

But it's MN9, anything is possible.

 

[SliceSabre]

It wouldn't surprise me in the least.

 

[hamchan]

So many network features.

 

[JaseC]

Isn't that 12 Feb 2016, the original release date outside of the US?

Yes. The image is from the Australian store.

Edit: Oh, wait, "EEST", not AEST. Nonetheless, I suspect that's the case.

 

[GavinGT]

Mighty Number Nein.

[oti]

THIS RIDE NEVER EEEEEENDS

 

[TheFurizzlyBear]

What time zone EEST?

 

[entremet]

Multiple SKUs have killed this project.

Be careful about your stretch goals, KS brehs.

 

[kurahador]

lmao...oh my god what a mess this game has been.

 

[Nightbird]

Delay Number 9

 

[Peanut0423]

I feel like Inafune hasn't even started making it yet.

 

[Ridley327]

Isn't that 12 Feb 2016, the original release date outside of the US?

Since it's the US page, the format would be MM/DD/YYYY, so on that front, the December date would read correctly. Still, the date being a match for international date formats is a bit suspect.

EDIT: The article has an actual US detail listing separate from the Marketplace header, complete with the ESRB rating, so there is some goofy stuff going on here.

 

[ponpo]

Why is the game rated 1800 times already

Spoiler

and why is it rated so highly.

 

[Outrun]

Damn those network coding issues.....
