GameSpot gave Mighty No. 9 a 5 out of 10. Such a shame.

IGN wasn't much better.  56/100. Pretty safe to say this is not meeting a lot of people's expectations.

Here are the scores as they stand currently:

• Game Informer: 6/10
• GameSpot: 5/10
• IGN: 5.6/10
• Push Square: 6/10
• Destructoid: 6.5/10

Capcom not letting him make a new Megaman JUSTIFIED!

Wow...with the amount of time he spend on that? Damn....

I hope his attention was just more spent on Recore because I'm looking forward to that a hell of a lot more anyway. It also makes me hopeful because Inafune has some of those veteran Retro Studios guys making the game.

They kind of have to stop advertising it as "From the developers of Metroid Prime" it is only three people that worked on Metroid Prime.

Mark Pacini director of all three Metroid Prime games, Todd Keller an art director, and Jack Matthews the principal technology engineer.

That's why I said SOME.

At some point these 3 Armature guys (one of whom is an artist) have to lose their Metroid Prime street cred. It's not like they've actually made decent games after they left and if anything 343 industries has more ex-retro guys. But screw dat, what about the new kind of mario? Shiggy is saying we'll see it maybe in a year or two?

So no Mario for NX launch? Maybe not for year one? Unless they are doing a more conventional Mario for year one like Galaxy 3. Then the new kind of Mario later?

Damn my daughter is hooked to Destiny. That severely impairs my RL and TESO gametime. I have to come up with some evil scheme to stop this.

Your daughter is a smart girl, though she should get on when the expansion hits.

And just because it didn't get much coverage at E3, I wanted to show off my favorite surprise of the show, Ever Oasis. This brand new Nintendo IP, is a fantasy action game/city builder by the creator of the Mana series. The developer, Grezzo, has been working on the 3DS Zelda remakes as well as Triforce Heroes (someone liked it right?).  At any rate the game definitely has more than a slight hint of Legend of Mana to it, and I've seen other people say they got a Dark Cloud vibe from it. In my book, these are good things. So sure it's on some old ass hardware that's about to be phased out, but screw it man. This is everything I love in video games, and dammit it will be played!

Spiderman was running on vanilla PS4 Insomniac: "in game/engine/real-time"

Is this supposed to be surprising? Because I'm not surprised.

Just reading that jokey interview with the PR guy from Sega and CD Projekt

said:

Right: It was easier. And you made profits. Just go and ask developers how much money they've made off their third-party games on WiiU.


Left: It's a vicious circle.


Right: Yes, sure, the Sega circle. Let's wait how the hardware sells before we make some games. Oh, the hardware doesn't sell, there's no games. Let's wait some more.


Left: That's the Vita fate.


Right: Was Dreamcast's fate as well. All those third parties went "ooh, Saturn, MegaCD, 32X, we've burnt our fingers good", in part with those expensive cartridges that you have to buy and then sit on, that's extra bitter.


Left: I had a 32X.


Right: For real? Wealthy parents, huh? Oh yeah, we had that one recently… Well, and then they said with the DC, as sweet as it is, let's wait and see if enough consoles get sold for it to be worth it. And the consumers waited for the games. Then you wait and wait and wait… dead. Anyway, I'm excited for NX.

Glad somebody gets it. Waiting does nothing, if you never give it a go there is no chance. It's self defeating.

This is a better translation from GAF on those NX rumours

said:

The NX was initially set to release in November 2016. Everything was ready for a for a launch in France, and worldwide.


According to our information, Nintendo had even reserved a lot of publicity space... before backing out. The machine was set to be accompanied by a line-up of 30 games. And then, the plans changed

Even if they'll say otherwise, the arrival of new consoles from Sony and Microsoft also have spooked Nintendo a little.

This time, impossible to release mid-gen, a system that's too far behind. The finals specs of the NX will come close to the PS4 Neo, with component more "up to date" but not top of the line. We were told that Nintendo definitely wasn't part of that kind of race.

According to our sources, 3 major deals with third-party publishers also contributed to the delay... the games were simply not ready. Included in the names mentioned, Capcom and Square-Enix are part of Nintendo's allies in what is considered to be operation "reconquer". A large part of the titles from those editors should release on NX, including a few exclusives.

The overall architecture of the system would be in big parts tied to Android, with Miitomo playing in major part in the structure of the NX itself. Miitomo could even serve as the HUB for games and evolve the interface as time goes.Finally the system could allow up to 8 controller devices to be connected at once. Quite a departure from the single GamePad on Wii U.

Nintendo doesn't want to make the NX too pricey. They wish to stay the most affordable of the 3. But that does not mean the system will be at a discounted price, either.

Our different sources claim the machine is "surprising and interesting". Aside from the reported problems linked to the delay, we haven't heard any negative impressions from developers.

Our sources point to September for the reveal of the NX. Nintendo indeed sounds interested by making an announcement in timing with the Tokyo Game Show.
