Phil writes, "The whole sordid saga with Mighty No. 9 and its Kickstarter really soured and disappointed a huge legion of fans who were promised something great from Keiji Inafune, a designer partly behind the creation of Mega Man. Instead, Mighty No. 9 ended up being delayed multiple times, the marketing was out of touch at best, the campaign was poorly managed, and the end game was average at best.
However, the development team at Inti Creates worked on a smaller game in preparation for the release of Mighty No. 9 in the meantime, a Nintendo 3DS eShop and Steam release known as Mighty Gunvolt. This game combined the styles of Inti Creates' own IP, Azure Striker Gunvolt, with Mighty No. 9, creating its own unique Mega Man-styled mashup. Now, we see a sequel, exclusive to Nintendo Switch and soon Nintendo 3DS with Mighty Gunvolt Burst. The irony here is that for all the millions of dollars backed into Mighty No. 9, this budget project in Mighty Gunvolt Burst is clearly the superior product in this reviewer's eyes."
While traditional Mega Man games took a bit of a break for a while, another series stepped up to help fill the Blue Bombers’ shoes. In fact, this new IP’s hero was even a similar shade of blue! Inti Creates picked up where Capcom decided to leave off with Gunvolt, an original character who participated in rather familiar adventures. With the eighth Gunvolt-adjacent game appearing, now is the perfect time to go over who this hero is and why people should be playing his games.
Inti Creates hosted an Anime Expo 2019 panel to announce that their 2D action platformer Mighty Gunvolt Burst will release on PC-via Steam on July 31.
Xbox One is like the only modern platform that hasn’t received a Gunvolt game yet. Surprised they didn’t announce Mighty Gunvolt for that platform as well at this event
Gal Gunvolt Burst “DLC Character Set: Heroines” and the Mighty Gunvolt Burst version 1.4 update are now available, developer Inti Creates announced.
Mighty No. 9 was truly mediocre.
Even with the replayability. I won't pay 10 bux for a 3 hour game.
