Inafune apologizes for Mighty No. 9 delays, anime and film still happening, thinking about a sequel
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U | 31 Comments
It’s taken awhile, but Mighty No. 9 will finally be launching this month. Things unfortunately did not go smooth for the game, as it was pushed back quite a few times.
Creator Keiji Inafune once again apologized for the delays while speaking with 4Gamer. He told the site:
“We deeply apologize to the fans and backers for having taken much longer than expected. I learned again how difficult it can be to make a game. (The reason of delay) was not because we were shorthanded, but due to how we were going to sell it, and then biting more than we can chew after declaring that it will be released for all the hardware. But it was a good [learning] experience.”

Splatoon’s next Splatfest has been announced for Japan. Starting on June 18 at 9 AM and lasting for a full day, players can participate in the new competition.
The upcoming Splatfest is in partnership with Meiji. Players are asked to choose one of two sides: Kinoko no Yama (Mountain of Mushrooms) or Takenoko no Sato (Bamboo Shoot Village).
Europe’s 15th Splatfest will be taking place this weekend. Nothing has been announced for North America, but that should be changing in the near future.
