    Let's end cap this with Mighty No. 9 not being released this year and mentions of a 2016 release being optimistic.

    I will never back a kickstarter. It is always broken promise after broken promise.

    WTF wasn't that supposed to be out in a month or something? Guess they need more time to launder the money into some off shore account before vanishing eh?

    Considering they found some deep pocketed Chinese company to be a backer of their work, is it too late for MIghty No 9 funders to request a refund? I really don't feel with all these shenanigans and breaking their own terms of their kickstarter is right at all and should NOT be rewarded.

    Well, no. There are plenty of Kickstarters that have delivered and plenty more that basically met project goals. It's more about backing carefully. Only projects you're really interested in and ones that show a lot of forethought.

    Delays? For a video game? WELL I NEVER!

    Is that mouth breathy enough for you? Rather a broken promise, then a broken game.

    So wait, one of the creators of Megaman is now making 2 copycat Megaman games? And that's supposed to be cool and people are funding it? When's the last time a good Megaman game came out that wasn't a remake? What are people expecting here, there is a reason he is no longer with Capcom. The same with Shenmue. You think you want it but I'd suggest going back and playing the first 2 games. People are just being blinded with nostalgia and their favorite game creators leaving their publishers.

    No, man, I legitimately want Shenmue III. I would have settled for a manga or visual novel. Anything more than that is icing on the cake.

    Don't want to turn this into a Shenmue thread, but why? I loved the original but there were serious flaws, even back then. This type of open-ended game is not wanted now, unless they make serious changes.

    The best part of Shenmue to me was driving a forklift and having a job that was identical to my own in real life. The arcade was nice but it still felt like a chore. That has long since passed. I'm well into my 30s and have enough experience to tell this boring game to fuck off. If you like boring gameplay, going to school, going to work, buying useless junk, lame qte segments, and a crap fight system this game is still for you. If I want to go to work or school then I'll do that in real life, not in a fucking Sega game.

    It will be cancelled or the entire thing will get an overhaul, with gun in Ryos hand, and looking more like Yakuza. Is Suzuki supposed to even be involved with this? The budget for the original games were off the fucking wall, how do they expect to even reach those goals? Shenmue is overrated and Shenmue 2 is just plain boring and convoluted for its own good. Better off as a history lesson.

    Well, I canceled my pledge. The cash isn't going to matter to the project anyway. Glad it's coming out.

    I think what Inafune did wrong was trying to launch a new multimedia IP right from the get go, especially with so little initial funding. Just make the game first. Put it on Windows, then port it all over the place once revenue starts rolling in. Hell, put it on Windows and then find a console publishing partner who wants to help market and fund it for a timed exclusive.

    Use any and all profit to fund future endeavors and only come back to Kickstarter if necessary.

    Fuck the cartoon, it can come later, if there's enough of a demand for it.

    Fuck future projects, ship one respectable game first.

    Also, treat your community well and make sure your community team isn't toxic as shit.

    I just love that mighty 9 is almost done so it is natural to move on to another project bull crap. Gamers love to defend people who do not have their best interest in mind. I just think of game developers like a car salesman. It is always something and you can never just buy it and be done with it. You are hounded for extras that should just come with it.

    That's what I think too. People have already invested in him, and so far nobody's reaped the rewards yet. And you're gonna go ask for more money? Inafune pls. If your work is so awesome and successful, why can't you get a publisher to fund your next project?

    That's what I said before. Everyone has mega man blue tinted glasses on kissing his butt. He's got an unfinished delayed into 2016 project and now he starts another that's a two parter begging yet for more cash when he can't even get the first one out acceptably. At least he didn't get this stuff funded as it should be a valuable lesson.

    They released a statement today saying the game was not delayed and is still on target for a September release.

    Doesn't really change my opinion of how the project was mismanaged, but I'm glad everyone who backed it won't have to wait until next year.

    Same here, but if it really is still set for a little over a month from now I'm happy to see that at least being a promise finally kept especially those who paid up front.

    Source? Please don't cite that Arabgamer "article" as that was speculation based on an old forum post and as far as I know, neither the developer nor publisher has responded to the GameInformer article yet.
