(Post delay) Release date confirmed.
If things go as how are to be expected this time around they should be as it follows:

America-> 9/2/2016
Rest of the World-> 12/2/2016

Also a special demo, only accesible to backers (be it via Kickstarter or via Paypal) is available on the Humble Bundle.
It contains 3 playable levels (plus the mandatory intro level) and a small portion of the challenge mode.

They will never, ever, ever be able to run a successful kickstarter again with all the shady shit they've been doing. Personally, I'm glad I didn't back it. Means I have no reason to be pissed.

Alright what they do now?

[Kaijin]

...And we got... Yet another delay...Yay!

Apparently this new delay was caused by some bugs in the network modes...AGAIN, and unlike the last time we don't have a release date for it but rather a "guesstimate" since it will (hopefully) be released around Springtime according to Inafune himself.

[Blake81]

Well, at the very least, they aren't releasing it full of bugs and fixing them later... yay?

You know what? I can take one delay, I can take two delays.

But a third is kinda pushing it, I am honestly starting to lose hope in it. I am totally expecting a fourth delay even though the developers said it won't be delayed ever again after this. This is disappointing.

I know it takes time, money, effort and all. to make a polished game, and I know sudden situations come up at the worst times and all, but this ammount of delays is a bit too much.

Honestly.

I do believe that there is a comic that describes the situation that this game is in now perfectly.

That's actually called Déja Vú (As you already posted the same stip in the same thread while alluding to the same issue).

Other than that, I agree with Scrapmaster here.
One thing is wanting to released a flawless product that people can enjoy and the makers can feel proud of... And that takes time, but keep delaying the release date over and over will eventually eat people's trust in project away.
It would have been better of them to put a longer term deadline than what they've done here.

[Father Rodin]

It doesn't help that the drama with that community manager already ate the backers' trust. Not to mention those few who played the demo reported they were unimpressed by it... at this point MN9 feels like a farce even to the most inveterate defenders of the project.

[Feathers]

Yeah so glad I didn't preorder this game.

[Flare]

So, here's a trailer...

Is it just me... or does the explosions look like cheap pizza?

[Feathers]

I don't know. but I'm not impressed.

[Phantom77]

I would've thought that this trailer was released as a joke, with its cheesy humor and amateur exposition.

I imagine alot of the people backing the kickstarter aren't exactly brimming with excitement...

[Feathers]

Yeah I know man, the "humor" is so way over the top bad that I could barely watch it. It wasn't much of a surprise after seeing their trailer on the 3D "cartoon" they used a chunk of that mil for. Was the game such a disappointment for them that they had to make the advertisement a complete joke, like something rehashed from an 80s morning cartoon?

*Sigh* I really hate being negative about this game, I had such high hopes. Glad I never did back it, but I'm not giving up all hope, yet.

[Pierce]

From the trailer standpoint, I'll just go on record to say sometimes there's such a thing to be too cheesy, both figuratively and literally.
Though the advanced dashing and combos will turn it into a Battletoads approach (Sans the difficulty but for people doing high score attacks)
The humor, obviously geared towards a much younger audience so yeah, overdone...

[Blake81]

Well... I guess that for every dozen of big Kickstarter hits like Darkest Dungeons, Pillars of Eternity or Undertale, there'll have to be at least one big flop. Sadly, for what I've seen, MN9 is gearing towards that...

[Kaijin]

Lucky you, that you didn't pay for it...
I actually did back for it (and supposed a pretty big sacrifice doing so for me) and what have I gotten in return? Countless delays, inept staff that kept messing things up, an ad worse and sillier than 95% of shopping networks' ads and a product that most likely will never meet the standards they promised us.

...Way to play with millions of people's hopes and illusions Comcept.

LOL what Flare said is trending -

This article summed it up for me. http://www.polygon.com/2016/5/25/117740 ... asterclass

Sorry for your loss of money Kaijin. That happened to me with Xenoblade X last year. -_-

[L337 m4n]

I backed as well but hopefully the game will make up for something. Didn't expect Flare to be trending with that one comment.
