Inafune attributed the delay to network coding issues. “There are two large reasons for this problem, one of them being the large number of platforms supported (the solution for each platform is slightly different) and the other stems from the fact that the engine we are using is no longer being updated which means adjustments for matchmaking and online code are being made manually (actually reprogramming parts of the engine by the dev team themselves),” he wrote. Inafune personally apologized for the delay, as well as on behalf of the development team.

This is the third time the successfully Kickstarted Mega Man spiritual successor (opens in new tab) has been delayed. In that time, Infaune announced a Mighty No. 9 animated series (also set to debut sometime this spring), and created another Kickstarter campaign for a game called Red Ash (the campaign failed, but the game was picked up by publisher Fuze Entertainment).

Despite the setbacks, there is a silver lining: when Mighty No. 9 finally does come out, you probably won’t need to buy a new console to play it on – it’ll (eventually) be available on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation Vita, and Nintendo 3DS.

Mighty No. 9 got equipped with console versions today. The Kickstarted spiritual successor to Mega Man from Keiji Inafune’s Comcept studio cleared $2.2 million in pledges, soaring past its most significant stretch goal yet.

The platformer will be at home on PS3, Wii U, and Xbox 360, on top of its previously announced PC, Mac, and Linux versions. Backers will be able to choose which one they want to digitally receive after the campaign concludes.

Other cleared stretch goals include a New Game Plus mode, a sped-up Turbo Mode, a Boss Rush Mode, and even a Making of Mighty No. 9 video documentary produced by 2 Player Productions, the team behind the Double Fine Adventure documentary.

Mighty No. 9 will blast his way onto PS4 and Xbox One at $3.3 million pledged (3DS and Vita versions are also being considered). With 14 days to go, we wouldn’t count the new blue bomber out of next gen just yet.
