Keiji Inafune och hans studio Comcept arbetar med Mighty No. 9, och under september i fjol berättade utvecklarna att den spirituella Mega Man-uppföljaren skulle komma att släppas den 12 februari i år. Nu, drygt två veckor innan den tilltänkta lanseringsdagen försenas plattformsäventyret än en gång.
Mighty No. 9 skjuts fram till det oklara ”våren 2016” och anledningarna är att spelet fortfarande lider av ett gäng buggar, och problem med nätverkskoden.
”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,” skriver Inafune via Kickstarter-sidan.
”There are two large reasons for this problem, one of them being the large number of platforms supported (the solution for each platform is slightly different) and the other stems from the fact that the engine we are using is no longer being updated which means adjustments for matchmaking and online code are being made manually (actually reprogramming parts of the engine by the dev team themselves). Unfortunately, this is all a result of miscalculations on the part of us, the development staff.”
