Mighty No. 9 mighty signs of failure

So this blunder apparently hasn't in fact entirely imploded yet but is still shambling along zombie like. I fell for the Sup Forums hypetrain and gave them $20 so I'm on the lists, but personally entirely wrote them off by the end of that year, and when the game footage came out decided I didn't even want it polluting my steam list or anything else. I get the mails though and there is actually a response "Deadline" approaching now for picking a platform, which they've been getting shriller about for a few weeks now. I'm apparently not alone, a few excerpts:
>REMINDER: PLATFORM SURVEY DEADLINE APPROACHING!
>Hey Mighties,
>
>As of this week, all of our backers who are eligible for a digital copy of Mighty No. 9 should have received their platform selection survey in the mail.
>
>As of 5/22 we had only received completed surveys from around 70% of our backers.
>
>We have noticed an issue where some users have not received this survey mail or any other recent surveys because they had chosen to ‘opt out’ of any future surveys from our account. If you have previously opted out of our survey mails, we are effectively blocked from sending any messages to your address.
LOL. So a good third of backers think this is such a turd they're actively uninterested even having paid for it even though it'll ship. I've never even heard of a such a high percentage for a KS game, backers tend to be the most fanatical and most want to at least run it once to see what they paid for. People rightfully called 3.3 a blunder, but most backers seemed alright with what eventually shipped it just took far too long and wasn't as full as they'd thought.

I'm glad it has become such a blunder. Inafune deserves that and more, fucking hack. Even rigged a poll for Call's design just to make it look like we had a choice so he could pass the blame onto us if the other designers got upset that their designs weren't picked. Fuck him. He should eat 10,000 dicks. 10,000 maniac dicks. And more than this, too.

>Even rigged a poll for Call's design just to make it look like we had a choice so he could pass the blame onto us if the other designers got upset that their designs weren't picked
I agree with you user, but in retrospect I also think we dodged a bullet there and find it amusing that Inafune's hackery extends so deeply that sometimes it comes full circle and actually has a silver lining. Originally I was really pissed that none of the Call designs I liked, which actually had some interest to them, ever stood a chance. I was irritated that they weren't made independent goals at least, because that's one of the few areas where crowd sourcing actually makes perfect sense.

Now though? Thank fuck a design I liked didn't end up in this abomination. How much worse would it be to have actually gotten a little invested in it? So really his bullshit actually kind of worked out well. It was clear he was going to be a total faggot, not Day 1, but basically Month 1 or so and it was "all over" within maybe 3 months I think. So I never even really felt "let down" or whatever because I got over my $20 in a matter of weeks. Omaydateos for your kusoge inafune-san.

Well, unfortunately the one I like is in a blueprint in the background.

What were the designs

Haha oh wow, that's even worse. Actually is that another one there too (Call H?), did they really just include them all like that? Holy fuck that's perfect, way to rub salt in the wound and pick literally the worst way to go with it. I love it, MN9 is just so adept at reaching for failure in even the smallest of details.

>tfw you backed Shantae and Yatagarasu instead and said fuck MN9 cause Inafune was obviously just cashing in on all the megasalt from megamanfans acting like babbies.

Feels gud

>We have noticed an issue where some users have not received this survey mail or any other recent surveys because they had chosen to ‘opt out’ of any future surveys from our account. If you have previously opted out of our survey mails, we are effectively blocked from sending any messages to your address.

What if Inafune doesn't release the game until everyone has finished the survey? kek

See . Not-Roll was their choice from the start though, the others were just baiting people with fake "community involvement" that was worse then just having nothing. I'm so glad though that no poor designer actually put any more real effort into something creative only to see the end result raped.

Which one won? I would have voted E or F. H looks appealimg but is rather plain

Whatever, though. The good thing to come from this is that Inafune will never be trusted ever again, not in America, and not in Japan. He has nowhere to go and he'll have to beg bored investors and go into debt and probably be killed by some loanshark mafia.

Is there any source to that? I haven't been keeping up with this blunder after all the other bullshit.

It took them 2 years to send an email to me about anything theyve done.

2 years is what it took to be asked what platform i want to redeem it on.

Meanwhile I'm already seeing just what kind of shit was going on behind the scenes since the footage I uploaded of that build is dated last fucking year.

At least between the different versions I have I can see what was and wasn't implemented at that time.
>June 2015
>Aviator doesnt drop missiles on the stage and hitbox is fucked to death
>July 2015 (might be August. I need to check again) Aviator drops missiles and hitbox is fixed
>Ray DLC works now
>"Retro" DLC still not working yet
>Special powerup for backers still fucking overpowered

Ask me anything about the builds. I got about an hour to spare

actually, call D got into the game, as the final boss, although she looks drastically different, but is restored to her original look in the credits.

Nah they've got some fallback where they just offer steam keys instead although yeah more delays would fit, and maybe this would be an excuse if they wanted.

Best delay so far in my opinion: the dinner that some fags paid TEN THOUSAND DOLLARY DILDOS for. You'd think they'd get that done ASAP right, like first few weeks, out of thankfulness and to make sure it's a good experience and everyone is in full optimism mode regardless of what comes later, to ask about ideas, etc. It's not a big fucking deal to just have a business lunch/dinner, you pick a nice place, make reservations, and meet them. Simplest shit.

But last I heard 4 months ago Inafune STILL hadn't even done the dinner! And hooboy is that going to be awkward as fuck now. Absolutely hilarious.

Should've been Call B.

Are you going to post any Ray gameplay on your Youtube channel or do you not have it?

>You'd think they'd get that done ASAP
Except for the fact that flights and accommodation weren't part of the deal so they have to wait until the backer finds a time that they can get cheap flights.

What do you mean? Call-F (aka Not-Roll) was literally the face of the campaign, had tons of design work and art already done for her directly by comcept, etc. They pushed it hard.

>not-roll pushed from start, gets it
>all the other ones people liked relegated to teasing blue prints
>BUT! the one that inafune himself lazily did on a napkin because he was supposed to contribute something and didn't get many votes actually ends up with a key role
THE HACK TRAIN HAS NO BREAKS

BEST CALL TO WORST CALL:

H>I>B>D>The Rest>>>>>>>>>normiE

changes in voice acting? voice clips in code that arent in game/changed?

But it getting pushed from the start doesn't necessarily mean the others weren't in the running. I mean behind the scenes documents or employee interviews talking about how they fucked the kickstarter.

H looks more like Not-Roll to me than F does

These are people who paid ten thousand dollars user. Ten. Thousand. Dollars. Campaign was over, dinner "estimated delivery" was Feb 2014. There is no fucking way in multiple months they couldn't have arranged a good time and got this done for richfolks. None.

theres a nasty fucking bug in the power plant that crashes the whole system. I'm a guy that wants to be as complete as possible if i post something like that, so I wont be posting that footage.
Ive beaten all the other stages except that one.

to explain how ray works
>your life progressively depletes as time progresses
>destroying (killing) enemies lets you regain it
>getting damaged loses you what you could regain (wait long enough and get hit and youre dead with 1 hit)
>satisfying as fuck to play as but really fucking challenging
>Ray is also a woman

fuck the VA for English. Haven't bothered with French yet.
Japanese is the least annoying to hear.

You can't blame them man, it could not be helped!

There's a good chance the person(s) who took that backer tier have shot themselves making delivery difficult.

Your description has made me want to play MN9 more.

>Special powerup for backers still fucking overpowered
How overpowered are talking about?

I favored Call-I a bit more and I thought G was ok but otherwise good taste.

He could crash in unannounced at their funeral, quickly toss a few Beck figures into their grave before it gets covered with soil and then give the grieving family some Pocky and MN9 steam codes. Just to make things right you know? Also good idea anyway because maybe they haven't heard yet about this exciting new project he's working on!

Okay so, here's a rational thought.
>game is 20 bucks (digital)
>preorder gives you skin dlc
>ray dlc separate (probably like 5 bucks?)
>special powerup DLC for backers for free, but probably going to be 3 bucks at the end
So looking at it this way, for the game plus all relevant dlc (gold beck is shit dont bother) you're looking at 28 dollarydoos (tax possible)
If this to you seems like an okay value for 13 stages for beck, 13 stages (maybe 12?) for ray, plus the EX mode, and online play, as well as the choice of platform being literally everything, then feel free to get it, i wont stop you.

youtu.be/yqnRVkDIQSM?t=7m12s
this should be sufficient

you deploy a sort of turret thing at the spot you shoot, it only faces one way, but it stays there for like a minuet, also you can deploy several of them at a time.

Just want to say I appreciate you continuing to suffer this thing so we don't have to.

the only satisfaction ive had is learning how drastically things changed in such short periods of time.

It enlightened me on what the fuck was going on.

Yeah there's a shit ton of bugs in these YEAR OLD BUILDS WITH ALL THE CONTENT but that still means I could learn from this shit.
TCRF is going to hate these pages goddamn

Any more questions regarding the game?

Bosses? Levels? i have more shit to leak but unlike comcept, capcom will fucking kick my dick in

Haven't followed this at all myself, I usually just like to wait for KS to deliver. Do you have any shots of his final transformations?

can you still just dash through entire levels in general? they ever add any facial animation whatsoever?

imgur.com/a/yDbou
Uploaded these a while back. I dont have all of ray's abilities (ray is satisfying as fuck, i want to be lying but i genuinely find it satisfying)

What you see is exactly what you get.
Brandish (Number 7) supplies the best weapon for Beck. Best weapon for Ray is Pyro and Cryosphere since one gives you some aoe range and one slows them the fuck down and does progressive damage

the builds i have from that timeframe still have static mouths. sometimes they change but sometimes they dont. i have no idea what to expect in a year of time for the game.
>can you still just dash through entire levels in general?
ray, yes but youre still likely to die
beck, yes but only on half the levels

ay, what was the deal with not willy? he diddnt seem to have any real relevance to the plot at all.

As a quick explanation for what changed in a month
>Main menu changed
>Loading screen changed
>Bosses got some shit changed or added
>DLC not broken
>[AD LIB MOANING IN PAIN] dont have the footage from this one anymore and dont want to get a screenshot
>Beck's stages toned down a slight amount for difficulty (due to buggy shit making it hard)
>New bugs arose
>"Retro" DLC still retarded but still broken

He has a place but It's not the most clear to me. That and I genuinely don't give a fuck about the story

At this pace, when do you think the game will be done?

The latest i have is from July or August 2015.
As far as I'm concerned it should have been done already.

If that point last year had all that content and just needed translation work and bugfixes then we should have had it by February or earlier.

I dont buy the online mode causing a delay. I really dont seeing as the 360 version from last year had working online play at that time.

ive released the 360 build privately. its the worst version but hey thats fine. if you can find it then good on you

>imgur.com/a/yDbou
Man, I can't call these transformations. Might as well call alt costumes in fighting games transformations because that's really all that is, aesthetically.

Ray just gets an arm change.

At least by comparison her weapons are actually useful

dropped webm

One more before I fuck off.

Good luck anons

fug, I wanted you to post more of not-Roll.

cant do that for ya.
I can drop this but thats it.

Check the archive for the panty shots.

arch.b4k.co/v/thread/337528071

I'll check that, thanks.

It looks like they just reskinned Beck to be a girl robot

She... Actually makes me want to buy it, but I'll just pirate it. Thanks tripcode user, you're actually using the tripcode correctly like the good ol' days.

Is there anyone here who backed the game that's still looking forward to it?

I haven't played it myself but holy shit it looks super dull from the gameplay videos I've seen. That dash/absorb mechanic just doesn't look interesting.

It's like they came up with the idea, made a game around it then realised they were fucked and had to stick with it.

>arin paid 2.5k for this shit
what a cuck

I backed. I'm looking forward to ray alone.
I know one if the guys that is in one of.the levels as a portrait
He paid under 3 different names. His name, and 2 company names he owns.

He dropped a shit ton of money for that reward.

>YOUR FACE IN THE GAME
>We'll make a 2D representation of your face to use somewhere it will fit naturally into the game -- prominent enough for you to find it and show your friends, but innocuous enough not to bother other players.

>innocuous

What specifically about it are you looking forward to?

From what I'm seeing, it just looks like a really poor megaman clone.

The guy literally said he was looking forward to Ray, I don't know how he can be anymore specific. In fact, you completed the circle
>megaman clone
>ray gameplay

There you go, that's probably what he is looking forward to.

you seriously need a life

>there's no way to get all of the backer rewards
Scamafune

But I mean, it's not a completely re-balanced version of the game for ray right?

What's compelling about Mighty No.9 over playing other megaman clones or just playing the megaman games themselves other than having already played them all.

>imgur.com/a/yDbou
Thanks, but, just wow. A few basic neon colored palette swap reskins is really not what I was expecting.

>Sup Forums hypetrain

You mean you fell for shilling like the retarded "I can't for my own opinions and some posts on a place I go said I should give this guy money so I did" faggot you are.

THEY PROBABLY SHOT BLACKS

they dropped it due to a "tight budget"
take that as you will.

He backed it, I think his only option is to look forward anything that looks interesting. Sometimes fellas just gotta be optimistic with their purchases before buyer's remorse kick in.

>donate a 10000 dollat
>can't even get your voice and face in the game

WEW

No, it was massively fucking hyped on Sup Forums you retarded newfag. People were genuinely excited, doing art, etc. It's precisely because I did end up getting very skeptical that I went for the bare minimum $20 tier, pizza money, an amount I'm comfortable writing off entirely. Most of my KS have gone great actually, but if you want an example of where I was went in much farther ($60) for garbage it'd be Project Phoenix, which I've also written off but had nothing to do with Sup Forums.

But MN9 and inafune were hyped on Sup Forums big time because lots and lots of old Sup Forumsirgins have a soft spot for Megaman and were sorry to see the franchise dead, and foolishly thought that just because Crapcom is mostly awful that it was all their fault. Remorse (or glee, Sup Forums does love their hatetrains too particularly when fully justified) set in pretty swiftly however.

>starting at $5 your name in credits
Wait, is their an add-on amount you can spend to NOT have your name in the credits? Or how about those people who spent $1k to have their voice in that awful rap ending, can they maybe spend another $500 to have it taken right back out again?

Man comcept could have taken care of all their budget issues with just a few extra doses of BUSINESSMAN.

>dinner with devs shit

Why is this a thing?

Oh wait, let me redo my math. You could get all of the backer rewards, but you would have to pay A MINIMUM $29719 to get them.

It looks like they had their dinner 2 weeks ago

gamefaqs.com/boards/997614-nintendo-3ds/69928412

Why is the fuck is he working on so many games? Mighty No.9 still isn't out, Red Ash only recently got funded and it's already controversial, and Recore is delayed.

I mean, 2 years

None of the cost to getting to the devs are covered. Don't forget this.

As a slacker backer you also don't get the special power up or ray dlc (unless they just don't mention it blatantly). This means that only initial kickstarter backers get the dlc bonus perks if you took the bullet sooner.

I truly want to see how they pull off the vita version. I know how I'd do it but then again they wouldn't listen to someone that's played the game either.

in a waiting room for a psychiatrist after dealing with so much bullshit can't wait to tell em how much i fucked up this time :^)

Inafune was the first to do that, wasn't he? I dont' recall hearing of devs doing that until MN9 had that as a reward tier.

For $10,000 to be spent, I was expecting something more lavish than what looks to be a mall cafe. That pic looks pretty sad, unless there are more lavish shots.

Technically he's "famous" so that's why.

Not like it matters anyway since I've met him before and just treating him like tour average guy is a lot more fun of a time than treating him as a famous person.

In person he will treat you as you treat him, unless it's about fame. If you treat him famous he'll treat you as a peasant. Its not immediately obvious but it is a thing.

I'm probably still gonna buy it depending on some negative reviews.

What bothered me the most so far what I seen is that the graphics looked like dogshit/pixelated but that was just people with bad PC's.

It's still gonna have a hard time to compete with Shovel Knight which was only 15 bucks and is probably a lot better.

I guess I can understand some of the more limited rewards like the 8 remaining PAX shirts or original boss concept art, but someone gives you $10,000 and you can't even give them a signed sketch?

graphics are shit across all platforms m8, the tripfags videos all come from the completed 2015 build xbox version.

>im happy because i would care about the game if my 2d loli waifu of choice had actually been in it
???
You honestly sound like you're just making more excuses to cope with the fact it's shit.
Let go.

>Inafune was the first to do that
I know that Wakfu kickstarter had this.

youtube.com/watch?v=WNTYzRLTN68

Can you do a video on all the transformation and this special attack with charged attack? I am just curious on some of them.

Sure. I'm almost back home. Stay put.

Oh shit, you got the ray dlc working?
How is it?
Is it just a lazy infinite use of the blade power like I called?

Please no..

>your life progressively depletes as time progresses
>destroying (killing) enemies lets you regain it
>getting damaged loses you what you could regain (wait long enough and get hit and youre dead with 1 hit)
FUCK I HATE THIS SHIT
Feel free to call me a casual.

nope, actually has a core change, where you are consonantly loosing health, and have to kill enemies to heal, plus the dash is slightly more important too.

L I T T L E M O N E Y
That visual is fucking hilarious.

Why didn't they just take the millions of dollars and give it to IntiCreates and tell them to make a 2D Megaman spiritual successor?

Or maybe IntiCreates initially told Inafune to fuck off because they were doing Gunvolt and Inafune had to bribe them with dosh to get them to even remotely help out and do that Mighty Gunvolt thing. I mean it would make sense. IntiCreates might not be amazing but they at least can still do 2D jump and shootmans.

Ugh... I meant "their not this"
Anyways, thanks ProtoFag!

Is your main weapon a sword or is it just a fucking reskinned Beck Buster?
Does it do combos and shit?

Inti had a hand in MN9, but the creative force behind MN9 was Comcept.

I dunno man. The wall jumps and dashing in GV fucking sucked.

>Best call
>Literally just Roll

Don't get me wrong, I like Roll, but that's just a waste. I agree with you otherwise.

360 version has all of becks already so getting on it now
Ray's im just missing number 3's upgrade.

aight just stay and ill share.

Want individual webms or just all in one go as a video?

it could be worse. i like it.

only on the ps3 builds. even then number 3's stage has a nasty fucking bug that crashes the system. i suppose if i was able to modify the save data i would be able to bypass the stage easily but that requires work.

builds im showing off arent from a PC user. i know youre retarded but if i bothered to get the PC versions then maybe things would be better.
i can get em but im being a shit about it

I thought Call F was the literal Roll? At least that's why people got mad she won. Call H looks more like Penny than Roll.

its a short claw attack, basically sword but shorter, although you apparently get upgrades to your arsenal by defeating the mightys

This was my first KS experience. I was mad as fuck, but thank god Shantae and Shovel Knight made me feel better.

But now, after I forgot this game existed for about a year, I have to say - it looks "better" than the shitty demo we got all that time ago. It's still fucking atrocious, but at least they got some of their shit together.

The fun thing is - I picked the 3DS version. Just because I don't care about this game, will pirate a PC version if I want, and if anything - I want to experience everything that's wrong with MN9, and 3DS seemed like the best option for them to fuck up.

Whatever easiest for you, proto. I don't care.
