It’s a re-skinned Mega Man with glaring issues that make this game a frustrating experience above all else. I wish I could be a little more artful in my description of this game but I can’t. A guy like me who is a bit old school still appreciates a good 2D side scroller, so what if it’s very similar to what Mega Man is? This could work. Initially I was excited about the idea of Mighty No.9 especially after playing the beta (I even donated to the Kickstarter). Mighty No.9 is the brain child of the creator of Mega Man Keiji Inafune and according to a video interview that I saw with him in the original Kickstarter campaign for Mighty No.9, Beck was what he had always intended for Mega Man but creative difference of opinion with Capcom ultimately gave us Mega Man as opposed to Beck and although it wasn’t what he wanted, it’s been one of the best known series in all of gaming ever since. 9 is a harsh game to play because unfortunately and to my surprise it just isn’t any good and it doesn’t offer anything different from what Mega Man was. I’m glad they never did it.Īm I being a bit harsh? A little bit, but Mighty No. The nostalgic part of my DNA hated it until I played Mighty No.9 and now it makes complete sense. No next-gen? No PS4 or Xbox One remaster or remake? That sucks. I didn’t understand the logic and I found it almost inconceivable that Capcom would do such a thing to one of the greatest game series ever. When Capcom decided that no longer did it make to sense to continue to make Mega Man games, a 90’s kid like me that grew up on them was disappointed.
