Retailers push Mighty No.9 release date back to 2016

MCV Staff 24th July 2015 Business News

Question marks hang over Mighty No.9’s September release date.

Videogamer reports that retailers including Amazon, GameStop and Walmart have all changed their release date for the physical version of the game from September 2015 to 2016.

When questioned, publisher Deep Silver chose not to comment on the news.

Mighty No.9 is being made by Keiji Inafune and is being sold as a ‘spiritual successor’ to Mega Man. It successfully raised a whopping $4m way back in October 2013. Despite smashing its $900k target, however, it then controversially went on to seek a second and third round of crowdfunding the following year.

Earlier this month crowdfunding also kicked off for not only a Mighty No.9 live-action film but also another Mega Man successor.

As it stands, Mighty No.9 is due out on Xbox One, PS4, Wii U and PC this September, with 3DS and Vita versions to follow.

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
