Yet at $4M, Mighty No.9 is somehow worse than all these shoestring budget games?

Even funnier since three of those games are sequels to franchise that are pretty old and established, and some of them have industry veterans at the helm.

as does MN9. Inafune himself and a bunch of people handpicked from former capcom staff, particularly former megaman staff.

and i wouldnt be surprised if we had some inti Zero people

Another thing worth mentioning is that Keiji Inafune is also working on OTHER games at the same time. Namely ReCore and Red Ash. Hell, over the last few years he also put out Soul Sacrifice and *shudders* Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z.

PC build got leaked on MEGA, it's pretty awful.

Unless sarcasm was part of the entire sell, "...cry like an Anime fan on Prom Night..." is absolutely not how you sell this.  It's very Apple ten years ago:

Disheveled Guy: "I'm a Mac." 
Preened Guy: "I'm a PC." 
DG: "Oh, what's this?  Looks like you're crashing again, huh?  Yup, that's too bad." 
PG:

XD I get a laugh every time I'm reminded that Apple became the very thing they were against

I'll just leave this here guys.

Ending pic's pretty cool though so it has that going for it.

Oh Man MN9…

So from everything I’ve gathered…

- The game was only released in the US, delaying world release by 3 days.
- The 360 version was delayed again on launch day.
- The Wii U version doesn’t just freeze the system, there are reports of it outright BRICKING the system.
- Antivirus software reports the Steam version as a virus.
- Code keys for the Totally-Not-Zero campaign either claim they were already used or just unlock the Minecraft skin.

…As uninterested / unenthusiastic for MN9 as I’ve been, I legitimately feel bad for those that backed the project and got this…  I can only hope Inafune corrects these problems, and that something is done for any Wii U players that lost their systems to this mess.

Okay, what in the name of fuck? Is this for real?

[Claimh Solais]

Yeah, I've heard these reports, and holy hell, the game sounds like a god damn mess. On top of people stating the game itself is just mediocre (critics and fans alike), there are a whole bunch of issues itself that really make it even worse.

But like... outright bricking a console? That's the final nail right there.

A patch will be inbound according to nintendolife.

I feel sad for those poor backers.

[Claimh Solais]

The patch is nice for those who were only experiencing freezing or minor technical issues with the game. So good on them for releasing THAT. But there are still reports of Wii Us getting bricked because of the game. Hopefully those players can get some kind of compensation for that.

[VladCT]

Have there been any other games that bricked the console? Seriously, this might very well be the most disastrous launch ever, bar none.

[Abnormal Freak]

Supposedly reports of bricking Wii Us are complete bullshit, but the game has caused a system freeze requiring you to unplug the power, which obviously isn't good and could potentially brick the system. I've had stuff like the YouTube app force me to do that so it's not uncommon for the system. Far as anyone knows, there's no proof of MN9 actually rendering anyone's console a paperweight.

Now, the game performs pretty poorly on Wii U. Bad framerate in spots, lengthy load times even after each death, which is really frustrating for a fast-paced action game. Except that there's nothing fast-paced about it and the game only sorta resembles Mega Man on the surface. It's not an offensively bad game, but it sure doesn't live up to its legacy. I got so bored with the first boss stage that I fired up AVGN Adventures just to get some fast shooty–jumpy sidescrolling action going.

I kinda regret not getting it on my PS4 but I wanted to show the little U some extra support and I have a 2TB external HDD on that beast and space is filling up on my PS4's 2TB. I guess it's fine on the U. I'll try to play through the game...maybe. It's kind of dull, but then I thought the PSP Mega Mans were similarly dull.

Does that bode well for me, since Maverick Hunter X is one of my favorite PSP games? lol

I'll still probably grab the game, probably on PC since it seems to have the least issues. $20 seems fair, I guess.
