I'll just say Inafune sold out to the wrong people and leave it at that.

Who do you mean?

Soooo, this game is getting completely crushed by critics right now, guys.

[The Satellite]

Hovering in the 5/6 range, the lowest review being a 4, the highest being an 8, but the review is so terribly written I question any of its validity.

IGN's was pretty bad. For 20$ though I'd totally play this game. It looks fun, and I like platform games.

I'd probably get it on 3DS.

I'm still reading over reviews and it seems the most contentious area is the bosses. Some say they're challenging, rewarding, and great fun. Others say they're absolute garbage trial-and-error slogs. I'm still looking over reviews but it's in general not looking good.

 

The highlight was the review from "XboxAchievements" where they said they were playing on the pre-patched version... on PS4.

No clue, but I can totally hear people today saying the same things about classic MM bosses. Not saying game is good or bad.

From what I've seen of it, it looked better when it was still in beta when they were testing the Unreal Engine's lighting/shaders.  The final product looks really unpolished, not only with the lack of shadows, but the color contrast looks really washed out.  I'm honestly surprised.

What the hell happened?

[The Satellite]

The 360 version of the game was delayed.

 

Mighty No. 9: The game that still gets delayed even when it's already released.

Apparently, some people have been reporting that it's bricking their consoles.  So, if anyone feels like trying it, well... Just so you're aware of the possible risk of that.

 

Edit: Looks like it's just freezing people's consoles and requiring a hard reset.  So it was just blown a bit out of proportion.  STILL NOT A GOOD THING MIND YOU

[Anthus]

Maaaan, I haven't seen a trainwreck of a release like this since... hmm, maybe FF13?

[Moonbread]

So, uh.  Yeah.  It can brick.

[Koh]

How the heck does one game manage to do something like that?  I've seen it happen from like, custom firmware updates and such on PSPs, but a game?

[Anthus]

Wow. Probably not gonna get it at all, that's kind of a huge flaw. It's like, did they even try testing it??

[Cukeman]

So, uh.  Yeah.  It can brick.

 

It looks like they said a hard reset worked in the comments
