Mighty No. 9 will indeed say nein [Yes, we're recycling that one β Ed] to its previously planned 15th September release, as Comcept has confirmed in a since pulled forum post that the Mega Man-esque escapade has been delayed. The news follows the conclusion of creator Keiji Inafune's failed Red Ash Kickstarter β we're sure there's absolutely no connection at all. Wink, nudge.
It sounds like the problems all pertain to the title's online component, and not the fact that it looks like Grade A garbage. "As we have communicated in the updates to our backers, all of the core content for the game is developed and in a complete state," a spokesperson said. "However, there are still bugs and issues pertaining to the online features that are included in the game."
To be fair, the firm has identified these issues as something that could have a direct impact on the quality of the game, and has taken the right decision to fix them rather than ship the title unfinished. Of course, this means that you'll be waiting until Q1 2016 to get your hands on it, which is quite a long way off. Indeed, it means that it may not see the light of day until March.
Regardless, the developer stressed that it's working hard to get the title finished. "Comcept and its partners are working at full capacity to resolve these issues and fix any remaining bugs," the statement concluded.

Yeah I thought this game didn't look very good, so I did that thing the opposite of buying a game.
BTW Sam, I know everyone has their opinions and all, but damn you go overboard on the bashing sometimes.
"Grade-A garbage"? Harsh.
@SecondServing agreed, I'm actually looking forward to this game and this is kinda sad to hear it's getting delayed till next year
sometimes I wonder how long it takes you guys to come up with the tagline for each article. in any case, keep up the good work. I find myself laughing too often at those
Good thing I have less than 0 interest in this game. I couldn't agree more with the 'grade A garbage' statement.
@bloodhound89 Glad you like them!
@SecondServing
I also found that "Grade A Garbage" thing unnecessary. I do like they are delaying instead of releasing a broken game, like many other devs do, in which case that is garbage.
I was lied to by people working for them. They said it wasn't delayed. Frikkin' puuep.
Well crap.
I didn't follow the kickstarter, only recently decided I wanted a copy, so no idea how it looked in the beginning, but it looked kinda fun.
Stupid as F to start another kickstarter before this game was even released....unbelievably dumb. Someone should have stopped him.
It just makes people second guess this release....and that's only logical imo.
Still want to play this game though....ah well, more time for MGS5. ^_^
Looks like it'll be the best Inafune game since Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z. Nice to see this guy's genius can really shine when freed from the restrictive corporate shackles of Capcom.
