Keiji Inafune recently took part in an interview with 4gamer about Mighty No. 9, in which he discussed the development of the game and talked about the team’s future plans. Inafune apologized to fans and Kickstarter backers for the delays, and says that the team is “moving forward” with an anime and live action film. Inafune also elaborated on the possibility of a sequel. Inafune said that development for a sequel is “already in our minds”. In fact, the team is so interested in doing a sequel that the negative feedback and threat of bad sales is of no concern. Inafune says that the team all share the feeling of “we’ll do it even if it doesn’t sell”. Feel free to leave a comment on if you would support a sequel.
Mighty No. 9 will release on the Nintendo Wii U in North America on June 21st and in Europe on June 24th.
I have a feeling if the first game fails, it could be their last game.
Hopefully the sequel will have better visuals.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate the graphics like the whiny fanboys do, I’m just saying there should be graphical improvements just so the whiners would shut up.
Nice to see someone else who isn’t on the complete hate side with this game :)
I was personally really hoping for the drawn style they had for their concept art, it looks really great, the 3d models, not so much. Never been too much of a fan of 2.5D games.
There is a difference between bad graphics, and graphics that aren’t highly defined. Mighty No 9’s graphics are indeed bad. The cutscenes in Namco Museum looked better than these graphics. It just shows to me a lack of resource management or possibly just laziness.
I’m not going to lie, I think the visuals are okay as well. For the price of the title it’s good enough but a sequel should definitely improve upon them greatly.
That’s such an awesome thing to say! Much respect to them for that. Well from me at least.
Also, I don’t really care about what people are complaining about and bitching about. I feel the only people who should be mad are the backers. Feels like everyone else is just joining the hate bandwagon. The game looks fine to me and I’m looking forward to it. I do have some problems with thw graphics but nothing making me completely avoiding it. That 2D art from a while back was concept art not gameplay BTW so damn stop referring to that as gameplay lol. I think its sad how he doesn’t have faith in his own game with all the hate its getting but its great to know the team doesn’t care and is still willing to make a sequel. That’s kind of an inspirational attitude to me.
I thought most of the complaints were about how many times it got delayed. I don’t care to be honest. Maybe I would if I backed it. But I’m still looking foward to it.
I mostly see people complaining about the graphics. Anyway glad to see some people are still looking forward to it :)
If the game looks fine to you, you have the eyes of a mole. The quality of its assets is all over the place.
I clearly said I have some problems with graphics man 😑 its just so bad to me that I completely hate it. If you have a problem with then that’s OK but don’t make attempts to make someone feel like shit for disagreeing. Jeez lol
You’re saying it “looks fine” to you, and I’m saying it looks objectively bad. That’s all there is to it. No hate bandwagon or any other weird assumptions.
These idiots nee to focus on their first game first before talking about another game, when this game barely look like it was coming out with all the money it had to make 3 mighty number 9’s.
Oh look, they already made a kickstarter for the sequel.
What’s that, the first game been canceled?
Well, things happen I guess!
I’m certainly not trusting anything he says.
“we’ll do it even if it doesn’t sell” that’s a fantastic business strategy…
But seriously, why are they even mentioning a sequel when they haven’t yet finished the first game? It’s almost as if they’re getting distracted or wanting to start a new again.
He said the team is willing to make a sequel not that he’s on board with the idea
He better be willing to fund it himself then, considering the backers probably took a page out of The Who’s book and Won’t Get Fooled Again.
No chance. This game will fail hard. They won’t be able to get funding like they did this time.
All the more reason for Mighty No. 9 in SSB5, along with Rodea and Yooka-Laylee.
Good, keep going inafune, show your backers that your here to stay.
“We’d love to make a sequel, but only if it’s funded by 7 more kickstarters”
We’re going to make a sequel so good, fans will cry like anime fans on prom night.~”
||This human…along with its supporters…are amusingly imbecilic…||
Keiji Inafune says “I want to milk this more!”
Alright, I recognized he completely fucked up his game in most ways, but I’ll still hand it over to this guy, he have some serious cojones.
“We’re making a sequel, and a live action movie trilogy, and a Netflix series, and a theme park, and a Mighty Burger 9 restaurant chain, and holding our own gaming convention. And delaying the first game again until 2018.”
Didn’t this game get canceled?
Welllllllllll….. As long as they get funding, nothings holding them back. I cant say I’m still hyped for this game, though, after all that stuff coming out about what kind of person Inafune is a little while back… not to mention all the delays =_=
