#Kickstarter mighty no.9 for mac#

9 has been further delayed, likewise ports for Mac and Linux, with those backers wanting code for Microsoft's last-gen console offered Steam access instead. LOLs aside, the message is clear: regardless of who said what in the stream, this has been a complete hash of a launch, for a game that simply hasn't delivered on its promises. No, obviously, but the game is supposedly coming out for just about every system currently in use, from the Wii U to NVIDIA's Shield Portable. One backer, JohnXuandou, writes several times: 'Can I get my name removed from the credits?' Some people joke: 'Will there be an N-Gage version?' asks apparatus_mini. Many messages come up as 'deleted', too, possibly due to explicit content. Judd pauses several times during the stream to look over a cavalcade of comments complaining that codes are not working, the dissatisfied customers stacking up. Inafune was not involved in the porting phase, or bug testing. 9 was completed, on other projects that benefit the company.

Judd does go to great lengths to talk about how the studio owning the game's IP is important, and how Inafune was better off spending his time, after 70 percent of Mighty No. But it's hard to understand why someone there to translate the words of the game's high-profile producer would throw in such an opinion, where he does, right next to his boss, and nobody picks him up on it. Update: There is some debate as to whether or not the 'it's better than nothing' line is a translation of what Inafune said, or Judd's own comment. New on Motherboard: Dive Into the Most Vibrant Reef on Earth, in Virtual Reality And at the end of the day, even if it's not perfect, it's better than nothing.

Because I'll tell you what, I'm not getting my 2D side-scrolling fill. But, again, we can hope that if things go well, there'll be sequels. So, for now, this is what you see and what you get, for the Mighty No. They didn't try to microtransaction it out, they didn't try to DLC it out for extra money. The reality is they put everything into making this game. 'So there's not any additional DLC beyond the Ray (an additional antagonist) DLC. To be fair to Judd, he's only translating the words of Inafune himself, who answers a question about game expanding DLC at 1:09 in the stream: He served as producer on 2008's well-received Bionic Commando Rearmed, and was previously the head of globalisation for Capcom Japan, working on localisation and performing voiceovers for cult titles like Viewtiful Joe and God Hand. 'At the end of the day, even if it's not perfect, it's better than nothing.' So says Ben Judd, 'sexy video game agent' and someone who's 'worked with a wide variety of different talents' and 'helped on the campaign for Mighty No. 'At the end of the day, even if is not perfect, it's better than nothing' /1kFLWbq8xu

The stream started late, and when it was running it was, to quote Twitter user 'basically a post-mortem on why they screwed up'. 9's makers aren't exactly enamoured with their results. But when Comcept live-streamed the game's launch earlier today ( watch the recording of it here), it became clear that even Mighty No. Plenty of not-so-great games earn themselves a passionate following, usually nurtured by equally enthusiastic developers who wear their hearts on their sleeves and will do anything to get their game into as many homes as possible. Related: The Hope and Despair of the 'Mighty No. Suffice to say that while Inafune's fans had been voicing their support for the game – and good on them, because someone has to when it's getting this kind of reception – the critics aren't into it, at all.

Videogamer comments on its 'numerous terrible design choices and ugly presentation'.

'Charmless and full of poorly executed ideas' was IGN's verdict (5.6/10). 'Inoffensively average,' wrote Gamespot, awarding it 5/10. The game comes out today (June the 21st) in Japan and North America, with the European release set for June the 24th), and reviews have been lukewarm at best.
