Mighty No 9 Backers Finally Receive Their Retro Box, And It’s Awful; Some Have Yet To Get Rewards

ThisGenGaming says "Mighty No 9 is once again in the news, and as you'd expect, it's for another comical reason like receiving a cheaply made physical box that comes with a manual that doesn't even fit inside."

All this bad press just makes Red Ash seem even more unlikely to actually come out

Weeblordbad2472d ago

Considering it's aping Legends, that's a good thing.

Null19802472d ago (Edited 2472d ago )

You can get Mighty No. 9 as part of the Humble Bundle right now, one of 9 games for paying at least $5.08.... and I still don't want it, lol. Too many good games still in my backlog to even bother with it.

DivoJones2472d ago

So.. what did you all learn? Maybe to hold onto your money until a product is proven to be worth it? Or just the usual... nothing.

opinionated2472d ago

I learned my lesson. That was the first and last Kickstarter I ever participated in.

narsaku2472d ago

Getting mad at a platform for development because 1 of the teams let you down is ridiculous, right?.. That's like boycotting the console you bought because one of the first party games came out that wasn't what it was supposed to be..

If everyone thought like that, most people who bought NMS, "who can see a forest for it's trees", on PS4 would have sold their PS4 and stopped buying Sony products as a whole because the product didn't end up being what was marketed.

..Now ask yourself... With thinking like that, where would Sony be?.. Consoles be?... Gaming be?.. May as well live in a cave eating moss and hunting rabbits if humans were so fickle.

opinionated2472d ago

I'm not "mad at the platform" I just don't buy games until they are done or at least have a solid foundation to show off. It's a completely rational point of view. I didn't call you an asshole for supporting Kickstarter, you should show the same respect.

yeahright22472d ago

I'm with opinionated on this one. it's the same as someone getting burned by pre order culture and then swearing off pre ordering games and waiting for reviews instead. I'm guilty of using kickstarter solely as a preorder service, I've since stopped due to coming across some horror stories so I can see where he's coming from.

The Great Melon2472d ago (Edited 2472d ago )

Backed around 100 Kickstarters, so far the only real let downs I have had are the bigger traditional games coming from Japan. Mighty No. 9 and Project Phoenix have been two big black marks. These bigger projects balloon in features and expectations and cease to be realistic in their goals. Still waiting to see how Bloodstained turns out.

Everything else however has been a delight regardless of whether it was a game, book, film, animation, or tech.

Silly gameAr2472d ago

Well, at least it came out. It could have been like H Hour and not even see the light of day. That was the first and last kickstarter I supported.

rainslacker2471d ago

I supported Shenmue 3. I have a bit more faith in the developer though.

There is no lesson in getting burned, unless you count giving up and not living.

Kickstarter is an incredible platform that has funded many amazing titles that would never have worked being pitched to a greed giant like a publisher. It's worked in the past, it's working now, and it's continuing to fund great games going forward.

But lets take a piss on one of the only community funding options for games REAL gamers care about because occasionally things don't work out in life.

"So what did you all learn? Never to take risks and help make something"
What a life lesson. Also, find a boring, but safe job and work there until you die.

Or, you know, make some errors sometimes on the chance that you'll hit greatness.

GrimDragon2472d ago

lol it's kind of hilarious but oh so tragic.

yeahright22472d ago

I wasn't going to touch this game with a 10 foot pole, but it's part of a humble bundle I just bought. I don't know if I even want to bother to redeem the code.

Lol, I literally said that out loud when clicking on this article.

VersusDMC637d ago

Only tried the demos for both and mighty 9 looked atrocious. Megaman 11 was fun and polished. Never played both full versions but will see it they are on PS Extra when i get home.

Mostly get my megaman fix playing the azure gunvolt games and spin offs. And Maverick Hunter X on my Vita.

VersusDMC637d ago

Just tried Mighty No 9 again on PSExtra...graphics are atrocious and taking down enemies by dashing into them feels so hollow.

Kickstarter's Gaming Successes Prove Big Gaming Doesn't Know What Fans Want

Kickstarter has allowed game developers all over the world to bring their respective visions to life, while AAA Studios remains out of touch.

TheEnigma3131519d ago

This is very true. Companies like EA, UBI, MS seem to be disconnected from what fans want.

AK911519d ago

Um I’m not too sure about that check how well those games sold besides the money they got from Kickstarter they didn’t sell nearly as much as most games from publishers (AAA or not).

The unfortunate reality is these days games like Shenmue 3 and Bloodstained are incredibly niche and the only way it could survive is by use of a fan funded website like Kickstarter.

No Man's Sky had the most disappointing launch after the massive hype.

It also had the best turn around of any game.

Today it is basically a mammoth sandbox/city builder/space sim/casual podcast in the background meditative play. Love it right now.

smolinsk1526d ago (Edited 1526d ago )

But you jumped on the hype train without seeing what the game really came with.

Sean Murry absolutely caught up in the hype and talk about future stuff that wasen't there from the start.

But what i was promised before the game came out was an unlimited univers and everybody else was looking forward to just that and nothing else. So he gave us just that..that people could not see the true picture about an Early access kind of game was delusional, it was so clear it was not ready...

akaFullMetal1526d ago

CD3, and ff15, maybe shemue 3, I feel are more recent disappoinments than Duke nukem and perfect dark.

AK911526d ago

Anthem was predicted to be a failure from its beginning especially since the last game Bioware put out was the abomination called Andromeda.
