The initial enthusiasm for Mighty No. 9 was off the charts. People were incredibly excited about the idea of a spiritual Mega Man successor to Keiji Inafune, since he no longer had any ties to Capcom and there wasn’t much going on with Mega Man at the time. Unfortunately, what followed was disappointment after disappointment.
Although the funding secured for Mighty No. 9 was massive, the months and years that followed were marked by delays, development difficulties, and confusion among fans. People began to worry that the project wouldn’t achieve its lofty goals, and when the game finally came to Wii U and other platforms in 2016, it was the final nail in the coffin. Many found the game lackluster in almost every area, leaving many players wondering how so many things went wrong.
Some may remember that there were versions of Mighty No. 9 included in the crowdfunding goal that were never released. On Nintendo’s side, there were supposed to be plans to bring the game to 3DS, but to date, that hasn’t happened. Backers realized years and years ago that Mighty No. 9 was never going to come out on 3DS after so many delays and years of radio silence, but for some reason Amazon made it official Today.
If you had a pre-order for Mighty No. 9 on Amazon, you may want to check your email, as the company is now canceling these pre-orders. It’s likely that almost everyone who pre-ordered the 3DS version has long since given up on the game, but anyone who held out hope has now had their dreams shattered. It’s a sad, final chapter in the dull legacy that Mighty No. 9 has amassed.
