Mighty No. 9 delayed once again, this time to “Spring 2016”
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 63 Comments
After its phenomenal success on Kickstarter, Mighty No. 9 has had a somewhat troubled development period, with multiple delays and lukewarm receptions to its gameplay. Today, an e-mail was sent to backers of the project from Keiji Inafune himself, informing them that the game would not be ready in time for its targeted release date of in February. Inafune cites bugs in the game’s network / online as the reason for the delay. The new release date is, for the moment, set as “Spring 2016”.
Here’s Inafune’s statement in full:
To the fans eagerly awaiting the release of Mighty No. 9,
Unfortunately, we have an announcement that will be very disappointing to all of you. 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. 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 9th 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.

DrinkBox’s Severed rated for 3DS in Brazil
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 2 Comments
Severed, the newest game from Guacamelee! developer DrinkBox Studios, is currently just a PlayStation Vita game. But could it planned for additional platforms, including one from Nintendo?
Yesterday, Severed was rated for 3DS in Brazil along with mobile platforms (and Vita). Perhaps this is a sign that DrinkBox is thinking about a potential 3DS version. Then again, Severed’s rating also includes 3DS – so maybe it’s just a mistake. Only time will tell!
