This is a story that just keeps getting better and better. After more delays than we care to remember and countless promotional cock-ups, Mighty No. 9 isn't exactly in the best shape leading up to its launch next month on the 21st June. Yesterday, publisher Deep Silver released this trailer, which went down really, really badly with just about everyone. The video currently has 363,000 views and 14,200 dislikes on YouTube.
Indeed, it's so crap that even the game's developers are taking shots at it. Takuya Aizu, CEO of Inti Creates, deemed the trailer "unforgivable" on his Twitter account. "What the hell was D*** *il*** thinking making a crappy PV like this?! Unforgivable," he wrote. We can probably assume that all of the asterisks refer to aforementioned publisher Deep Silver, the company that's naturally responsible for marketing Mighty No. 9 here in the West.
Honestly, you couldn't make this up. What's next for Mighty No. 9 and its crusade to p*ss off every human on the planet? Join us for the next episode of this dramatic saga in the comments section below.

Capcom must be very happy right now...
I think this game is just a big mess now. I was excited at first but now, meh.
From what I've heard, the game is actually pretty sound. But yeah. That trailer.
lol I love the gaming industry, there's never a dull moment!
@Dodoo it's fantastic isn't it! This article genuinely made me laugh haha
Here's what's gonna happen next: Inti Creates will get out of their publishing contract with Deep Silver and look for a new publisher. All of this has been staged to delay the game even further.
Lol
Have they even made one good PR move at any point during this game's development? The worst part is that the gameplay doesn't even look bad. It's just how awful the devs are at promoting the game.
Now deep silver is the one crying "like an anime fan on prom night"
They are aiming to make it so bad that eventually will become great, like some iconic trash B-movies
Next up: the game gets delayed even though it's finished, just so it can release at the same time as the anime.
Now this will flop and be capcom's new excuse for not making a new mega man game.
If they could have gotten this out to the public about a year or more ago they may have had a shot. For awhile there Mega Man and the various clones were all the rage and this game was the one people kept talking about as the pinnacle of the mega man style game. Sadly, they have waited to long and capcom smartened up and released that mega man collection, basically making this null and void. When a game or genre is generating positive hype it is important to get it out during that time frame WITHOUT rushing it, if possible. They have missed wirh this game at every turn. I'll pass.
Mighty #9 and No Man's Sky both due to release June 21st, coincidence?
I'll still wait to make my final judgment on this game when it releases.
this game will crush under the weight of its own hype
You can dash. You can combo. You can power up. And something about a prom dress. Oh, and it's awesome.
They lost me when the vita version was delayed. Couldn't care less now.
Sigh, I just hope the game is good..
The only thing I'm looking forward to is seeing some of the more stubborn fans of the NES games desperately go into denial and bend over backwards to explain how the game is actually a masterpiece, especially people getting it on Wii U.
Not my type off game. But i am buying it. These guys deserve some love.
@SkanetWasTaken My favourite moment of the whole saga. Absolutely brutal. The Sonic social media accounts are hilarious!
They should've done a Square Enix and got the Chuckle Brothers to do it instead.
Just wait, only the first level will be released at Launch.
That's pretty amazing, I've gotta say. The trailer was awful but I actually thought the gameplay itself that they showed us looked okay-ish. Nothing good, mind you. Everything else was abysmal, though.
