A shame when games get delayed, especially games like Mighty No. 9 that a lot of people are hoping turns out good. I would rather they delayed it, and delayed it some more until it's a polished experience.
QuoteThe reason for the delay is rooted in bugs inside the network modes, and specifically problems with matchmaking. There are two large reasons for this problem, one of them being the large number of platforms supported (the solution for each platform is slightly different) and the other stems from the fact that the engine we are using is no longer being updated which means adjustments for matchmaking and online code are being made manually (actually reprogramming parts of the engine by the dev team themselves). Unfortunately, this is all a result of miscalculations on the part of us, the development staff. As a result, our fans who have been looking forward to Mighty No. 9 have been forced to wait for over half a year longer than expected, and for that we are sincerely sorry. I want to take this chance to apologize personally, and on the behalf of the development staff.
They are now expecting it to be ready in the Spring time, but they obviously won't be any more specific now.
See the Kickstarter update here as to why it was delayed.
About the game (Official)
Mighty No. 9 is a Japanese 2D Side-scrolling Action game that takes the best elements from 8 and 16-bit classics that you know and love and transforms them with modern tech, fresh mechanics, and fan input into something fresh and amazing!
You play as Beck, the 9th in a line of powerful robots, and the only one not infected by a mysterious computer virus that has caused mechanized creatures the world over to go berserk. Run, jump, blast, and transform your way through twelve stages using weapons and abilities stolen from your enemies to take down your fellow Mighty Number robots and confront the final evil that threatens the planet!
And his involvement in 2 more games before he deliver the first one, for the people who put his name back on track, who paid in advance?
Sorry, but I will not buy this game if its not turn out in game of the year material. I do not want to encourage this type of behavior from a developer.
Keiji Inafune should have made this decision, and not delay the game again. Kickstarter backers are now really pissed. I am a backer, and while I'm not pissed, I am disappointed. If Inafune wasn't our last hope to see "Mega Man" alive again (as Capcom haven't released new games of him for a long time), I would be pissed to have backed the project and now see this happening.

Sometimes the Unix Philosophy of getting a working product even if primitive right away is better than vaporware.

Mighty No. 9 hasn't passed the smell test in quite some time.
