That music in the background is hitting all the right notes. Where is that damn digital OST download?

Inafune dodged that Red Ash question like a pro~

Still, his expression when the question was asked was just priceless.

 

[NeOak]

So why is 40% of the money lost before reaching their hands? KS and payment fees would be 15% at worst.

Rewards fulfillment

 

[Roxas]

I'm not watching the stream. Did they really say that?

The very words from Ben Judd's mouth when describing Mighty no.9 and the lack of 2D Sidescrolling Action games

 

[Crocodile]

Meh, they are answering all soft-balls in this Q&A

If they wanted the game to look better, they should have followed Bloodstained's example and used the most advanced platforms as the base (PC/PS4/Bone) and then down-ported to other platforms. 10 platforms is rather crazy though, I don't even think Ubisoft during their height of having Assassin's Creed on literally everything managed 10 platforms at once.

Let's not forget that Bloodstained is also going to be on Wii U and Vita but those platforms are down-port targets, and in the case of these platforms, they aren't even doing it themselves but retained Armature to do it because it requires a port of Unreal Engine 4, which isn't even supported on Wii U and Vita, to those platforms. This lets them focus on their primary versions of the game and not worry about developing for every platform at once.

MN9 was kickstarted in 2013. Using PS4/Xbone as a base when those systems weren't even out yet seems like a good way to stymie pledges. Lots of people at that point had a 360/PS3/WiiU but who among the backers knew if they were getting a Xbone/PS4?

I guess he forgot Kirby Planet Robobot just came out.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

They sent two steam codes for the same dlc for me, now i'm missing the Ray DLC. Where I am supposed to go to complain about it?

Steam Indies say hi

If anyone is interested or knows someone who would be I'm selling my $60 digital tier copy and DLCs for Xbone for $15.

I really considered playing it, but I'm broke and considered playing Stardew Valley instead. That seemed quite nice in consideration.

Sold.

LOOKIN GOOD

You won't regret Stardew Valley if you like Harvest Moon. Great little game.

LOOKIN GOOD

BAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[Crocodile]

That was me sorry, I really tried... D:

Nah I appreciate it but its clear they didn't want to answer tough questions

 

[ZoddGutts]

Biggest worry about this game during the KS happen, having so many versions would hold back the game back for various of reasons. Glad Shenmue is just PS4/PC. With Bloodstained at least the WiiU/Vita versions are being handled by another studio.

 

[Teknoman]

lol

"I dont even know what you are talking about, and I dont understand what you said".

Best ever.

 

[djpookie2000]

UPS delivered my copy today. One day early, woo hoo.

Amway, when i redeemed the code that came with the game, it unlocked the digital version of the full game.

To verify this, I deleted the disc install data,went to the PSN, and downloaded the full game to my PS4.

I am pretty sure this wasn't suppose to happen.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Nah I appreciate it but its clear they didn't want to answer tough questions

They're clearly having a tough day already

 

[alf717]

Sucks it turned out the way it did but I hope they continue to explore Mighty No. 9.

LOOKIN GOOD

The game is on some Mighty Drugs.

So, has someone brought up that the steam keys on Humble Bundle for the "Ray" DLC are actually the Retro Hero DLC and the Retro Hero DLC is another Retro Hero DLC?

That's why you'll see this window when you go to redeem the Retro Hero DLC:

 

[HellBlazer]

So... my Ray DLC key gave me the Retro Hero DLC, and the Retro Hero DLC key wouldn't activate because, well... I already have the RH DLC activated.

Same here. For fuck's sake, Comcept... or whoever's in charge of keys.

 

[Teknoman]

It would be insane if Mighty No. 9 II ends up being like the Mega Man 2 of the IP.

Rewards fulfillment

Fair point. Would it take around a million to fulfill the physical rewards? Possible. Would have helped if they released a budget break down.

Stop phrasing opinions as fact.

I'm being generous here

[Eusis]

I originally wanted a Vita key but had enough of waiting so when the surveys came out I went for PS4. I kind of wish I had a Steam key though =(

On PS it's cross buy so you'll get that when it's out too! Though maybe you won't care when it hits.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

From twitch stream.

"@Comceptusa, why is the $250 Backer Poster being sold in Wal-Mart for $27 with both options, while we had to only pick one?"

lol.

[dity]

That's just so silly.

 

[Cmagus]

Sucks it turned out the way it did but I hope they continue to explore Mighty No. 9.

Hopefully they really learned what went wrong. If they do make a sequel (which will most likely happen) then I hope they apply what they learned from this. I'm still looking forward to playing it because I did enjoy the demo and game play but I'd be lying if this didn't sour me on Kickstarter projects.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Seems safe to say most if all of them would eventually migrate from last gen to current gen, but I see your point. Bloodstained's KS followed almost 2 years later when both new consoles had been released already.

lol the producer is the best guy on the stream. So serious and deadly sarcastic.

I've seen some games do that when you force AF.

Maybe it's not even real?

 

[Neoleo2143]

God Awful Mistake, Planet Robobot is fantastic and one of the best games in its series. I can only hope to derive as much joy from this game as I did from that one.

 

[HellBlazer]

At what time is this supposed to unlock on Steam? Assuming I'm not the only one who can't install it...

 

[capylikesgames]

So 10 AM tomorrow on Steam? Ah, well. I want to keep watching but it's late, and that pizza is making me hungry. I'll just sit through the VOD tomorrow, I guess.

"Only 60% of $4 million went into the actual budget"

 

[Alex_Mexico]

Man I really do feel bad for these guys.

I hope Inafune gets the chance of making a MN9 sequel (not Kickstarter) where he'll focus only on PC, PS4, XB1 and learn from all his mistakes.

 

[Danji]

I got tired of waiting for stuff to work, so I went out and bought a PS4 copy of the game from walmart. I wanted to check it out before making my review anyways.

 

[Bruno_Arrais85]

cant install here as well. Also they screwed up the Ray DLC code

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

So how does this work for PS4 owners? I got my humble bundle email, but I only see codes for the DLC (none of which work). How do I get the game?

 

[ameleco]

fuck me "Even if its not perfect, its better than nothing"

What a great sell for the game haha

I died when he said that lol. I just can't believe it. Anyway, I might still get this game as more people play/review it. I'm not against a mediocre game as long as its cheap.

 

[Reluctant-Hero]

Guess that steam time was Deep Silver's decision.

 

[JohngPR]

I really do hope they make a sequel. If they made this game look cel shaded like the key art, it would have went a long way in at the very least turning heads.

I really do like the anime-like art they made for the game.

 

[Trace]

From reddit:

Haven't beat any bosses. I played through about half of the levels before saying "fuck it" and quitting.
The game lags extremely badly and has frame glitches all over the place, so you'll be in a time sensitive spot, and die because the screen glitches and you ran into a spike or something.
I'd say it's closest to MegaMan X6 specifically because of the "difficulty" in the level design. What I mean by that is, it's not hard in the sense of "we made this challenging and hope you can get past it and enjoy it because of the challenge." It's hard in a "we made this level design this way because Fuck You."
The load times are a joke (at least on Wii U). If you die, you are looking at about 30-45 seconds of a black loading screen before the level restarts.
All in all, it just feels extremely unpolished and VERY much like an early beta. But aside from the technical issues, the game just isn't good.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

I was just thinking that as well, lol. Megaman 1 was not a runaway success after all.

Self promotion is a no no around here. Also you should have just waited. Can't be too much longer.

I wonder where the other 40% went.
