Amazon finally cancelled Mighty No. 9 3DS pre-orders

Over a decade ago, a game called Mighty No. 9 was announced. It was intended to be a spiritual successor to Mega Man, a franchise that Capcom wasn’t really doing much with at the time. The Kickstarter campaign did succeed, with versions on PC, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo 3DS and consoles planned. However, things quickly unraveled for the project.

Ultimately, the game was delayed multiple times and when it finally released, it was deemed a failure. In fact, the PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS versions of the game never happened. Nevertheless, you may be surprised to learn that Amazon had still been accepting pre-orders for the 3DS version 12 years later. As of this month though, that is no longer the case. Amazon has finally cancelled pre-orders for it.




I met Keiji Inafune in person and I can corroborate that he is a scammer and liar. In defense of the game... Call was a nice character, but Roll is so cute.

I bought the game on PC, but never finished it. It wasn’t terrible, just mediocre and not a worthy Megaman clone.

It’d be funny if someone actually ported it to 3DS just because.

I thought I'm reading necros,

Speaking of the game itsself
IMO, the game is still fine, and damn fine for the gameplay alone
too bad, people at the time were at rage on the graphic and choosing not to play the game

It's great game for me

Pizza explosions. Why can't we normalize pizza explosions? Imagine the Death Star exploding in pizzas.

That's kind of insane. Are there any other 3DS games that are somehow still pending?

Well, it's a UE3 game, so no dice for 3DS...but a Vita port is possible, but it would be a lot of work. Not sure it would be worth it though.

I bought it for a buck on PS4 or so, I managed to beat it and honestly it wasn't as bad as some make it out to be. Just forgettable and not worth the hype. Glad I never backed.

. And annoying, because he supported the project and wanted my name to appear in the credits... He NEVER did it. From then on I never backed another Kickstarter project.

Wow, they were original, Call rhymes with Roll.

The Characters were almost a copy paste of Megaman

bad take. I played the demo on X360, and it was a turd on that console but it was still fun, so I bought it on Steam and finished it. Challenging, lots of nuance, great game.

In the meantime, Inti Creates made Gunvolt and it was 10 times better and looked awesome.

Er, that was the point...

I still mourn Red Ash. I loved Megaman Legends back in the day

This takes me back, like an anime fan on prom night.

 

[Drake]

I never played this game. Was it really that bad?

 

[existensmaximum]

A massively disappointing game for me, and a painful lesson to never back a game on Kickstarter again. I feel dirty for being fooled so easily and spending all that money.. On well. It was a long time ago.

Just Japan doing what Japan does best.

Mighty No. 9 was such a disappointment. I regret backing it on Kickstarter. Game just felt so incomplete and inadequate too. Now, I have back other games on Kickstarter that I DON'T regret:

• Bloodstained
• Blasphemous
• Mariachi Legends

Bloodstained literally just finished the last DLC of the game and they've been very active. Same with Blasphemous when it came out; no regrets.

That's in China, not Japan.

Oh my brother, you have much to learn. I recommend starting with the rampant plagiarism in the Japanese game music industry. It goes waaaaay back to the beginning. Here's a little tease to get you going:
