One last little rant before I go, mainly because that suitcase isn't going to pack itself.

I got asked if I was going to cover the recently announced Mega Man cartoon series. Yet besides a single image and a vague description, what can I really say about it to warrant another tl;dr rant? "Oh he looks like shit!" Rant over.

There was also the complete 180 damage control seen over at Marvel "You will embrace our liberal hipster bullshit and you will like it" Comics, in saying that Captain "Hail Hydra" America is not really a Nazi, but rather under mind control from the Cosmic Cube. If DC and Marvel are in a relationship you can tell which wears the pants.... and actually has some balls.

Whenever Marvel announce some major new controversy to rile up a bunch of neckbeards (myself very much included) they always puss out a few days later to reassure us status quo will return soon. When they announced the atrocious One More Day, they quickly came out to silence the tidal wave of negativity against it, until they caved in and starting printing horse shit like One Moment in Time. When they decided to kill Spider-Man with the Inferior Spider-Man story, they once again pussed out and told us that status quo will resume in time by showing Peter is technically still alive.

Fuck Marvel and there inability to ride the tidal wave when shit doesn't go there way. I mean look at DC for a second, they're determined with this Joker secret identity thing. We've told them not to but they're boldly dogging forward with it. God bless them in there conceit and blinding ignorance.

So what else is there to distract me from making sure I packed my toothbrush?

Oh yes. How could I forget?

To the Mighty No 9 backers who are still excited about this game. I know you're not going to like what I say and I commend you for remaining optimistic. After everything this campaign has done, you're still on board and I can respect that in some regard. Regardless, you're not going to like this rant so here is a video you can watch instead.

In all honesty I was going to tread carefully on this, but then I saw the dislike bar on the new trailer and even the likes of AlphaOmegaSin calling it out.... I decided "okay, the gloves come off then!"

People act like this trailer is a misfire, when I feel this should be seen as the reason to get off this hype train. Going with the train analogy for a second, Mighty No 9 is clearly British Rail. It's late, makes nothing but excuses and is hit with more delays than I can throw broken bottles at Jeremy Hunt's face.

To say Mighty No 9 has had some troubled development, is like saying David Cameron is a bit of a cunt. The game the masses deemed to be the thing "to save video gaming" that week and poured a dick ton of money onto a man who will save Mega Man from Capcom's nefarious DLC clutches, seems to be coming up a bit short. If it seems I'm being unsympathetic to this cause then it's because I am. While I have nothing but respect for Keiji and his many great titles over the years, I'm not blinded by nostalgia to notice the man is not only full of shit but also played a part in some of Capcom's recent fuck ups.

Yes I know it's easy to kick Capcom while they're down and I won't stop ya, all I'm saying is save a few of those kicks for the man you gave $4 Million to produce a game that should have been out around April 2015. After all he was the executive producer on such classics as Resident Evil 5, Dragon's Dogma, Street Fighter 4 and that "well received" Bionic Commando reboot. As well as an executive producer credit on Legend of Chun Li.

My point is the man is not some savior of gaming who makes "good decisions" when an executive producer is "the head producer who oversees the creation of a film, television show, radio broadcast, music album, or theater performance" meaning he sat there and saw Legend of Chun Li and said "Oh yes, this is clearly a fantastic piece that needs no correction, give me cash!"

A large part of this cuntflappery came when the man had the cast-iron balls to set up another kickstarter for a Mega Man Legends successor called RedAsh..... Despite not finishing Mighty No 9 and delaying it for the 3 billionth time. Also running his mouth about how Mighty No 9 would have sequels, t-shirts, live action movies, cartoons, lunchboxes, kitchen sinks etc. While I sat there pondering that maybe you should finish the game you're currently making BEFORE bragging about shit you're going to do?

It would be like Marvel telling us Avengers 2 will be awesome, while making the first Iron Man movie! And delaying it about 3 fucking times.

I was saying alot of this around the second delay and was told to stop being negative. These days those same people are cheering me on as I beat Keiji over the head with my soapbox and bitterness best reserved for EA or Konami!

Then there was the Dina Abou Karam shit that's been well documented, let's not go over that again. As well as the delays, and the delays, and the delays and the delays. I had someone tell me that they had to switch platforms and change mechanics within the game. Fair enough, but it shouldn't take this game 3 years to be complete. I know Shiguru Miyamoto once said "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad." yet looking at Star Fox Zero's disastrous performance I think he needs to rethink that quote a bit.

So after the delays, the feminist bullshit, the graphics which seem to get worse as the years go by, more delays, the other kickstarter project and even more delays. You think it couldn't get any worse right?

........ I think the trailer speaks for itself. It should be noted Comcept have come out and voiced their disdain for that trailer. If only the guy in charge was keeping an eye on the details? Or was he too busy setting up a kickstarter for "I can't believe it's not Mega Man Zero?"

I know alot of this rant was very bitter, but let me be clear on one thing. This wasn't to jump on the "Mighty No 9 sucks!" hate bandwagon that far too many are doing these days. This coming more from disappointment, frustration and dissatisfaction that it's taking so long to produce this single game. Meanwhile Capcom have already produced a Mega Man game and working on a new cartoon.... That looks like ass but you get my point.

If the game comes out and it blows all our minds, I'll take back every word I said and praise it till the cows come home. However, if June 21st comes and that game is not sitting on store shelves?

Then I'll get venomous.... Or just not buy it.
