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

Sorry backers.

While I think this particular finding is probably just the date thing mentioned in other posts, I do sorta find the bad news stream fun.

It's like a slow motion train wreck...you feel bad, but you can't look away, and deep down you want the spectacle to keep going and just hope no one get hurt in the event.

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.

Isn't EEST Eastern European Summer Time?

 

[GreyOcelot]

this is absolutely comical at this point

*insert inafune crying jordan pic*

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Yeah, no fucking way. As other's said it's just a super out-of-date, er, date, in the DD/MM/YYYY format.

 

[Diablos]

I completely forgot about this game. Sad that it keeps getting delayed. It's not exactly a complicated kind of game so I'm not sure why it's taking them so long given how passionately people supported development with their money.

I almost donated and I'm so glad I didn't.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

Maybe he is waiting around for NX, Xbone 1.5, and PS4k at this point. LOL.

 

[Corpekata]

I'd doubt it. If there was going to be a delay again they wouldn't have a very specific date in mind that's so far away. There's not like a single notable game that's got a confirmed December release date yet this year. Heck there's not even anything really dated in November yet.

 

[SargerusBR]

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

He's a business man.

Should have embedded this in your text. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHTY-Xj0BEs

At this rate I wonder if Bloodstained will release before Mn9 does.

At this point, I get this strange sick feeling of laughter in the bottom of my throat. Like I am vomitting while laughing.

Is that a guilty pleasure? I DO NOT KNOW

 

[EvilKatarn]

Isn't EEST Eastern European Summer Time?

Yep. So the date says 12. February 2016.

 

[JonnyKong]

Jesus.

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

Woah what, somebody else with my avatar!

Sorry backers.

I'm a backer, and I feel the same way as you do, the delays are more entertaining than this shitty game.

 

[PSOreo]

Don't retailers online normally change the date of a product to default to December when they are unsure of the release date? I could be wrong.

 

[hamchan]

Isn't EEST Eastern European Summer Time?

Yes. I guess it's just some journo not knowing how dates work.

Back to waiting until the game comes out whenever.

Sorry backers.

I'm a backer and I feel the same way. What a mess this game's development has been.

 

[Blackage]

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

Sorry backers.

I'm a backer and giggled evilly at the news. We all need that one buyer beware Kickstarter, Inafune delivered that much at least.

 

[duckroll]

Can someone with access to the store confirm that this is a non-event before I lock this thread up? Thanks.

 

[PrivateRyan]

I really don't think it'll be delayed that far.

But still, it's all about schadenfreude at this point.

 

[Messofanego]

Woah what, somebody else with my avatar!

Everything Everything is hot shit.

 

[Anung]

At this rate it'll be Mighty No. 2017

 

[Zalman]

I think duckroll is right here. It says 12/2/2016 even on the UK site. Likely a mistake.

 

[sora87]

Please understand, they must fix those online features we all desperately want!

 

[HandsomeCharles]

Legends never die

At this rate they don't live either...

 

[Diprosalic]

ayy
lmao

 

[Ridley327]

Yes. I guess it's just some journo not knowing how dates work.

Back to waiting until the game comes out whenever.

No, I'm more convinced now that whoever loaded up the details onto the Marketplace screwed up, since games in Australian time zones aren't rated by the ESRB.

 

[Ogawa-san]

I'm no backer and I have no particular love for either Inafune or Megaman, but... Isn't the schadenfreude about MN9 too much at this point?

 

[Chairmanchuck]

 

[FelipeMGM]

Nah, thats too especific for such a late date.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

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

Yep.

The text refers to a European time zone as well.

 

[kadotsu]

Inafune is a mess!

*airhorn*

 

[lifelower]

It's 12/09/2016 in Japan and Korea, by the way.

 

[Hayama Akito]

The date is a mistake, like this game.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

Can someone with access to the store confirm that this is a non-event before I lock this thread up? Thanks.

https://store.xbox.com/en-GB/Xbox-One/Games/Mighty-No-9/316b719a-0657-4fdb-95c0-2d0ede0d44ea

GB store has the same date format as the US store. As does the NZ. 12/2 for everyone.

https://store.xbox.com/en-NZ/Xbox-One/Games/Mighty-No-9/316b719a-0657-4fdb-95c0-2d0ede0d44ea

It's a copy error on the US's side, and an outdated date for everyone, basically fact.

 

[Ridley327]

It's 12/09/2016 in Japan and Korea, by the way.

That's exactly a year from its original release date, isn't it?

 

[Warxard]

Remember when people thought backing this was actually going to make Capcom 'wake up' or some other gamer fuckshit that they used to justify backing this game?

lol

 

[Dagobert Duck]

Wasnt there a playable demo? Whats happening?

 

[Magwik]

That's just the old release date. 12/2 = 2/12
Plus December 12 is a Monday

 

[duckroll]

Okay, at this point it's pretty clear this is a pre-existing outdated date and not news. When Inafune crawls out of his hole to say something about the game for real, we can have another thread. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
