Holy shit is this actually even legal? e:
Those motherfuckers and their wording really got them out of this.
Made me think of:
He's definitely gonna have to bust out a "James Banana" for his next game or something.

Here's the thing, your gonna get one failed Kickstarter. It happens. I've had two Kickstarters fail on me but for the most part I've made some smart investments in projects from people that I know can make something happen. I've had more good than bad which is what most people will tell you. Now, not all my Kickstarters are from games which might be the problem. I know books and music don't have this problem.
No it happened years ago. People can call the man a scammer but no reason to make shit up like we were never told it was going to be an empty box. Also the damn campaign page says nothing about the manual fitting in the box which I didn't notice at the time.
I mean this isn't a failed kickstarter. They appear to be delivering all the promised rewards.
I mean, they did get the game, in the form of a code last year.
I guess you could laugh at the fact that some people paid $60 for Mighty No. 9, but everyone who backed at this tier knew they were getting a code, a cardboard box and a manual. Nothing about this is surprising (except for the manual snafu, which is hilarious).

Damn, that's messed up.
I personally know the backer and its not Inafune's fault in this case. He mentioned that the staff contacted him to do the arrangements but he didnt want to do it yet.

It failed at delivering a quality product.

Fucking LOL
Really I thought at least one backer had met with him already.

The manual not fitting it cherry on the cake.
Ship the assembled box in another assembled box. That's how I send and receive boxes in the mail without them being crumpled.
Is it crazy to expect a game manual to fit in the box? I understand they gave the option of 2 box styles but there's a happy medium in size that should fit in either. The box is straight up useless, it contains nothing and can't even hold the manual.

So... basically people are complaining that they didn't read the rewards tiers before they backed? And that they had to fold the box themselves rather than have it get crushed in transit?
I'm also kind of floored by people saying "I PAID $60 FOR AN EMPTY BOX" and completely ignoring that they also got a copy of the game (regardless of opinions of the quality of the game, you still received it...) and the digital rewards. Kickstarter isn't a pre-order platform. You contributed $60 to fund the creation a game that you thought you wanted. A Famicom or NES style box and manual was just a fun little thing for higher tier backers.

The game still got made. Inafune can't manage money to save his life.
I don't think the game is as bad as some make it out to be. I think the bandwagon surrounding it makes people hate it without even giving it a chance.

It's average at best. You can't lie that the White House level is atrocious.

"Estimated Delivery: April 2015"

Is the issue the box isn't put together, cause personally If prefer it ship like they did. It's much less likely to be damaged by the postal service.
Not sure whether it was supposed to include anything, but the box shipping that way is probably preferable.

Why? The risk is still way higher. Shipping the box unassembled is clearly a safer and more practical solution.
Yeah it wasn't the best game in the world and had it's problems but it played well and was pretty fun for a play through. This belief that it was hot trash like Big Rigs or something is exaggeration at it's best.
You should check out the star citizen kickstarter if you want to see some delays.

Water is not wet!
i dont think i would have a problem with this. i mean its cheap and all that you have to assemble a box but i dont know. Am i missing something here? What were peoples expectations? Likening it to the Toyota/Toy Yoda thing seems very wtf.
edit: oh the manual doesnt fit? lol

The retail box comes with a digital code
That for $60?! Lol and it took them that long to print that shit out? And they couldn't make the manual a lil bit smaller so it fits inside the box? What about the rest of the physical rewards are they send out too? Like the t-shirt, plushie, artbook etc.?
What a trainwreck this kickstarter project has been.

I wonder how many backers paid 60 bucks expecting a physical game? I know, I know, they did say "game box", but I think it wouldn't be too farfetched to say they worded it such knowing that it could be misleading as plenty of Kickstarter game projects offer much better rewards at that tier, sometimes even physical copy of the game.

But didn't those backers already got a code? So they got an extra code?

Good old bait and switch.

They sent those out almost 2 years ago.

Bullshit they had actual footage that was comparable to what was released before the kickstarter ended. That was always called a mockup.

Not to defend the game but I never once thought it was gonna look like that concept art. I always knew it was gonna be 2.5D. I think they made it pretty clear.The game went from this:

Made me think of:
This story had a happy ending tho, the lawsuit settled with her being able to go to any car dealership and pick out any Toyota she wanted.
People who backed MN9 didn't get to go pick out any good game they wanted in exchange.
