Mighty No. 9 Delayed for a Third Time

​

​

Mighty No. 9 has been delayed again. It’s the third hold up for the Keiji Inafune’s action-platformer, touted as the spiritual successor to Mega Man.​

The delay means that Mighty No. 9 will miss its intended February launch. No new release date has been provided, beyond the suggestion that a spring launch is likely. In addition to this, Inafune did discuss the reason for the hold up.​

"In preparation for the February release of Mighty No. 9 we have been working hard with our partners to resolve any network issues and porting work necessary to publish Mighty No. 9 on the various platforms," said Inafune in a backer post on Kickstarter.​

"However, the issues relating to the network modes were more critical than expected, and it has become apparent that we will need to delay the game from its February 9 release date.”​

"We have been working up until the very last moment to resolve these issues in order to make the February release, but it has become clear that we no longer have enough time to fix the issues and have everything prepared for release."​

"Unfortunately, this is all a result of miscalculations on the part of us, the development staff,” Inafune continued. “As a result, our fans who have been looking forward to Mighty No. 9 have been forced to wait for over half a year longer than expected, and for that we are sincerely sorry. I want to take this chance to apologize personally, and on the behalf of the development staff.”​

Inafune said that Mighty No. 9 will now likely launch in spring 2016.​
