I love Pokken!
That OT took more effort than the game.
i'm only half-serious

Yeah, I downloaded the game expecting an absolute shitpile and...it's totally fine? The controls actually feel good? After playing for a while I'm 100% convinced that the narrative from the way the kickstarter and development went is colouring the way reviews have gone. After years of "everything gets at least a 75" I refuse to believe that reviewers have suddenly become such level design experts and sticklers that they're taking this game to task over that. There's no way it deserves the dog piling it's receiving.
It's definitely depressing.
Agreed.
During the Twitch launch stream earlier today, I was hoping they would answer this question (since I saw it spammed numerous times in the chat), but they completely disregarded it. Kind of frustrating really.
In any case, now that PSN has been updated, I guess I'll give the game a try later this evening. I'm definitely soured from the whole Kickstarter experience, but I'm hopeful I can still enjoy at least a few parts of it.
Yes and no. I paid the money for Mega Man game and got a Mighty Number 9 game.
does it work poorly?
that's not a scam, that's just failure. a scam would mean they intended to make you pay for a wii u version with no intention of delivering it

It gave me a link to a download site. But, there is no psn code. What happened?

Just encountered a bug on the first sub boss on the water level (stage 2). The bolt/pong ball got caught outside the level and straight up disappeared. https://twitter.com/Demon_Stephen/status/745385558638112768
Yeah.
Aside the lower resolution and the longer loadings, the Wii U version is the same as the others. Stutter, drops in framerate, crashes, glitches included.
Granted, I haven't experienced most of that on mine (Wii U), outside the long loadings and some stutter.
Right before starting, I turned off blur and voices and turned on the retro soundtrack. So maybe that's why my experience hasn't been as bad as some. XD

Damn, I've posted this GIF many times, but I forgot that was the comment attached to itI posted this in the Mighty No. 9 review thread, but I figured I'd post it again here.
The Kickstarter update where they announced the Unreal demonstration (seven days work), shown in the below .gif/video below:
Unreal Demonstration Video
they said this:
Kickstarter Update (Scroll down a bit until you reach the "Graphics Engine!" section)
"Whattaya think? Someday we will look back on this and laugh at how primitive it looks, but for now, for only one week of test work, it's pretty darn cool, don't ya think?
I'm looking back on this, but I'm definitely not laughing. Well, I am, but not for the reason they intended. :/

Well this is disappointing to hear. Game is downloading now and I look forward to playing it since I backed $20.

Didn't even get to be there to ask anything, again last minute communication unless I'm fucking up the timezones but to me it seemed like the stream wasn't even announced 24 hours prior. Dodgy as always with this kickstarter.

So I don't completely hate the game. I do think the majority of the levels are forgettable, the visuals are lifeless and boring, and the writing is just horrible but dashing is fun and it pretty much saves the game for me from being a waste of time. I like doing combos off of enemies.
Has anyone found out how to switch Beck's outfit to the retro one?

Nope, you didn't. I learned of it, as well, when the stream was already going (around 30 minutes into it). They gave us maybe an hour or so, judging from the Kickstarter email, until it went live.
Speaking of Kaz Hirai
Should have put something like "It's better than nothing, but even nothing is better than sonic games"
Pretty sure SEGA is taking their time to make a decent Sonic game... right??
This disaster makes me sad. Sonic, on the other hand, has a slightly better chance of a good new release.

Careful now. This is how the Sonic Cycle starts.

If one wants to get technical, Boom: Fire and Ice is the next Sonic game coming. So don't worry about staining your pants.
That said, I think it also applies towards Sonic Team's next Sonic title too.
To say nothing of the fact it has performed so poorly, Sega is pulling the plug on the game when it's barely been available worldwide for a year...
Oh right, this be the Mighty No. 9 OT.

and how it feels, the voice acting.. the movement, it's very very boring and bad/clunky!
you don't get any joy playing, it's not hard (in normal), it's not fast.. it's just bad, not even mediocre , it's bad.
I guess this is my biggest disappointment from a kickstarter, I will never trust Inafune again.

dramatic effect!
I guess with all the delays (and my gradually lowering expectations ever since that WIP clip), it's easy for me to forget that at one point I was hoping this would at least be on the level of MM 9 and 10. I also only put like 84 cents into it over what I'd typically pay at retail.
I think I'm just tired of internet pile-ons. Then again I suppose with the story of this game's development, this is was one of those situations where it was inevitable if it didn't absolutely surprise everybody, and people are definitely justified in being disappointed.
I think the movement is the one thing that works pretty okay. Level design doesn't always exploit it fully but definitively feels responsive tho

For some of the bosses it's a clue to their next attack while for the majority it's just to be annoying as fuck.
"Pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew pew."
I'm waiting for the game to be the abomination everyone seems to be claiming it is and it...hasn't been? Has the Internet lied to me?!
No but seriously it's okay. I'm enjoying it at least. Though I can understand 'okay' not being enough for some. Really getting tired of some of the more bombastic complaining though...

Sorry but reading through this thread, I still don't get the issue. What exactly were people expecting? I fail to see how this game is "OK" or even "average". What would people actually put into this game to make it "amazing". It has evergthing a Megaman style game should but it's apparently average. It's not lacking in design and delievered on it's initial concept.
I get the feeling people expect Kickstarter games to be the next big thing as opposed to just being an all around solid action platformer.
Also that gif is a bad example. It doesn't represent the style of these games in anyway. It's far to mature in it's design. It's not a graphics downgrade but a change in art direction. It's brighter, more colourful and fits with a more positive attitude.

Just played 4 levels and 2 to completion. I think this might be the package of terrible design decisions of 90's games (cheap enemy placements, instant KO obstacles everywhere, and annoying VA). This is worse than Sonic 4 Episode 1!
Also I agree Ray is the best boss so far.

My early impressions are this feels like a 3DS eShop game ported to modern consoles. The lack of ambition is pretty staggering. But I want to play more to see if it improves or alternately to see how deep the rabbit hole goes.

You know what? I'll go out and say it.
The gameplay itself is actually pretty solid.
All they have to do is fix that Godawful framerate and the main gameplay would be pretty good.
Everything else is up in the air though

Ray's actually really fun to play, and the first time this supposed combo gameplay ever seemed to actually mean anything worthwhile.
Still falls short, since the levels are still basically just horizontal runways, but she at least doesn't have the same issue that Beck does with charging enemies.
