Amazon Cancels Old Mighty No. 9 3DS Orders—Dreams Dashed

Mighty No. 9 fans are finally saying goodbye to the long-awaited 3DS port as Amazon cancels old orders, signaling the end of an era for this troubled game. Originally crowdfunded in 2013, Mighty No. 9 was intended as a spiritual successor to Mega Man, but post-launch it was criticized for its execution and lack of promised features. As nearly a decade passes since its initial release, it's time for fans to move on, especially as the game never made it to the 3DS or PS Vita, both of which have been overshadowed by newer consoles.

As of now, there seems to be no major plans for a revival or a new iteration of Mighty No. 9. Key developers have moved on to other projects, and with the cancellation of its 3DS port, it’s likely that the franchise has entered a final phase of obscurity.

Mighty No. 9 was developed by Comcept with Keiji Inafune as the leading figure, known for his work on the Mega Man series. Despite being highly anticipated and financed through Kickstarter, the game faced numerous delays and criticisms regarding its gameplay and graphics upon release. The sentiment of disappointment surrounding the game has lingered, overshadowing any potential hopes for a sequel or revival.
