So.... Let's talk about something I am sure we have all erased from existence from our minds as this occurs.
Mighty No. 9.
It is one of the most infamous of Kickstarter games ever conceived, and it certainly was a disappointment for all. After mishap after mishap, bad trailers after bad trailers, delay after delay, broken codes after broken codes, non shipped physical goods to non shipped physical goods, Mighty No. 9 continued to screw up. It seemed like Mighty No. 9 will never stop its ludicrous, logistical train wreck.
However, this story is not even over. During the kickstarter campaign, they promised they would bring Mighty No. 9 to both the 3DS and Vita. Mighty No. 9 released in June of 2016 on all of the other consoles. It was a disappointing, broken mess, no matter what console it was played on. However, Comcept has remained silent ever since. The 3DS and Vita versions have never been seen. Apparently , Comcept claimed that these 2 versions of the game were still on the way last June. However, we still have not seen a singe screenshot.
We have not seen a single screenshot of either of these ports, however, that's not the only ironic thing here.
Within the time that Mighty No. 9 released and now, Intie Creates had the time to create a brand new Mighty No. 9 game from the ground up, for both the 3DS and Nintendo Switch.
Yes. You heard that right. Another developer had the time to make a brand new game(one that is far better than the original) before we have even seen a screenshot for a port of this game. And for 3DS, the same console they wanted to port it too as well(with some extra Switch goodness).
Not only this, but Capcom, the company of which Comcept was supposed to spite, created a brand new Megaman Game and has showed it off.
Which, I must admit, is a tad hilarious. Everybody backed No. 9 to replace Megaman and Capcom. Only for it to be the opposite. And yet the developers at Comcept have not given any concrete information on ports they announced 5 years ago.
The other thing that is interesting, is that the Vita is completely dead at this point. The Nintendo Switch has replaced the mindshare of the vita, within many hardcore communities, and the 3DS is pretty much on its way off. Even if these games release, we know it won't do well. It's a port of one of the most widely despised games, on consoles with dwindling and numbered support..
So, I suppose for this thread. I just wanted to let you know. Never forget! The Vita and 3DS ports of Mighty No. 9 that never surfaced. And I suppose you should all get a sensible chuckle from this whole debacle as well. Especially as we sit on the horizon of every Megaman game being on modern consoles, the X games on their way, and a brand new megaman game as well. I just also find it hilarious that a brand new, through the ground up game was conceived, made, and was polished to a sheen was made in the time it took for Comcept to come up with 2 ports. So Era, I hope you have received a sensible chuckle from all of this.
And never forget!
