Another Mighty No. 9 delay....

The most notable thing about the Legacy Collection is that I think it's the first physically released Mega Man game since ZX Advent way back in 2006. That, and the Golden Mega Man amiibo, but, even as an amiibo collector, it doesn't interest me. (As nice as the figures are, the greater thing I buy the amiibos for is their game functionality. Amiibos that will likely have function across multiple games are the most enticing to me. I'll need to see some evidence of the G Mega Man doing stuff that my regular MM amiibo doesn't across multiple games before I take an interest in 24K Mega Man.)

As for MN9, with Comcept taking on more projects then it really should, I wouldn't be surprised if we got another delay, pushing the game back to late Summer or Fall. Also, they'll probably also release Beck and Call cosplay tutorials, have a "Meet Mighty Beck himself!" thing going on at a few conventions, and Beck and Call amiibos before this game releases.

I only gave $5 to the Kickstarter since I wanted to participate in backer-related events, show some good will to Inafune, and didn't want to let my hype get the better of me. It feels like I made the right choice.

I'm sure MN9 will benefit from the delay. Even with everything that happened since the KS campaign ended, I still think it looks fun and I plan on picking it up eventually.

Using AAA games is kind of a different beast. They're still caught in the Capitalistic "it must launch before the end of the Holidays at all costs" line of shitbrained thinking. AAA games mostly care when they launch, not if they launch well. They're caught in a way of thinking that has produced broken games at launch because the game needs to meet its launch date because that matters more than if the game even works.

Mighty No. 9, correct me if I'm wrong, was mostly funded by fans. I think they could accept the game launching with some missing features if it meant the game came out, and the other stuff came later. I don't think people are looking at what's holding up the game and calling it a quintessential piece of the pie. I mean, one of the biggest studios is infamous with this, and how Grand Theft Auto Online was missing a major announced feature well over a year after it launched. If the fans could be fine there, I don't see why they wouldn't here. I think people just want this game to be out so they can move on from the whole experience surrounding this one game.

I think the teams are separate. Even if not so much, the type of employees that would be working out online components/netcode bugs of a game wouldn't be doing the concept and design phases that we're currently in for Bloodstained.

I believe he did and that's where I got it from. There's been a lot of good/interesting information from Ben/the podcasts.
