Mega Man-inspired platformer Mighty No. 9 will miss its 9th February release date, marking a third delay for the side-scroller. The game has now been pushed back to the rather nebulous Spring 2016 window, as developer Inti Creates continues to iron out the network issues which have plagued the crowd funded project for almost half a year now.
"The issues relating to the network modes were more critical than expected, and it has become apparent that we will need to delay the game from its 9th February release date. We have been working up until the very last moment to resolve these issues in order to make the February release," explained creator Keiji Inafune.
The problem appears to stem from the fact that the game was pledged for every platform in existence to man, as each system requires different attention – and it's having to recode the engine that it's using. This, of course, is why Stretch Goals aren't such a good thing – they expand the scope of a project enormously, and the extra cash coming in doesn't always offset that.
Nevertheless, the developer isn't throwing in the towel just yet. "We are all working hard to make sure that we can finish and release the game to all of our fans as quickly as possible, and ask once more for your support of this project that we have created together over these last few years," Inafune concluded. To be fair, 9th February was looking busy anyway.

Wow. And they wanted to kickstart another game? Yeesh. Might be time to cancel my preorder. -.-
Damn it, not again.....this sucks. It's not like there are a that many platformers for PS4 out there these days........
This is becoming a joke.... if I remember correctly it should have been a WiiU launch title....
@arnoldlayne83 Lol!
Seriously though, this is just a load of bull! Instead of delaying it they could release it and patch the network functions in later; if you're bold enough to ask patience from your backers for a delay yet again, then you could also ask for their forgiveness and promise you patch it in later so everyone can get to play the part they actually shelled out money for!
Good news for me. February 9th was looking crazy. Whew!

Lol no it wasnt unless the Kickstarter being announced 1 year after console came out as being launch title lmao
The Mega Man collection looks a safer purchase with each passing day.
More like Mighty Blunder 9, amirite
This getting annoying, seriously.
This is hilariously bad, Inafune literally promised that there wouldn't be another delay.
I get the feeling that there's more than just "network issues" holding this up, because honestly, who would buy this for its multiplayer? I don't see why they couldn't just release single player and put out multiplayer in a later patch, unless there's something wrong with single player.
