Mighty No. 9

[Ravenfreak]

I recently remembered this game. I unfortunately backed this project on Kickstarter way back in 2013 in hopes that it would be a decent game. I even made a fan forum dedicated to the game before the official forum even opened. I had my hopes up high and so did all the other backers. Then the game kept getting delayed, and it finally was released in 2016 but man it was mediocre. Did you ever play this game? I don't even remember which platform I got the game on when I backed the project, I think I got the PS4 version. There were supposed to be 3DS and PS Vita versions but they never seen the light of day. Many backers have yet to still receive some of their perks too, so many years later. For those not aware of what MN9 is, it was supposed to be the spiritual successor to Mega Man, this came to be during a time where Capcom didn't seem to care about the blue bomber. (Now since MN9 has been released they actually do care about Mega Man, heck we got 11 finally and new compilations!) Here's the Wikipedia article on the game if you're interested on learning more about it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mighty_No._9

I too shamefully backed this game, we did not get what was promised. I hear there was some bad staff that was rotting the project inside out. Oh well, I'll just be more careful backing things in the future.

Yeah same here, I don't want to make that mistake again. At least we got something I suppose, many projects get funded and the backers never get anything. (Even if what we got was far from what we were expecting. Those prototype screenshots looked promising!) Inafune was just biting off way more than he could chew, and the project suffered from that. (Who tries to pitch a cartoon for a game that wasn't even out yet? :V)

Anyways, I turn back to capcom and hope someday to give us megaman X 9!

Oh man that would be a dream come true! Heck we finally got Mega Man 11, so anything is possible.
