Mighty No 9 was once a hot topic for his success in the crowdfunding ring, was now in the hot seat. This also left the backers in the dark, getting little to no updates via the Kickstarter page. There were bound to be development hiccups, but I never expected them to have so many troubles that the game was delayed several times. This included being released for nearly every platform on the market. The game hit more stretch goals than I feel they could handle. Then the campaign ended and things got quiet, even for the backers. From the cleverly designed campaign video hinting Capcom and Megaman references, to the early concept art showing the new protagonist ?Beck?, it looked like the team was well on its way to making this all a reality. On paper, I can see why everyone was on board. Developer Comcept and creator Keiji Inafune of Megaman fame, had their plates heavy and the pressure was on to create a spiritual successor to Megaman, since Capcom has neglected the character for years. The initial goal of $900,000 was fulfilled and surpassed within days, breaking records on Kickstarter at the end earning $4 million dollars.
Most likely, I?m one of the only people out there that didn?t contribute to the Kickstarter campaign for Mighty No 9 back in 2013.
This felt like another visit down Tony Hawk lane (see my review here) where I?m doing most of you a favor and taking one for the team by playing this train wreck of a game. What can be said about Mighty No 9 that hasn?t been said across the internet since it was released last week? Well, I could say it?s great and get castrated for it, but then I would be lying.
