Like a student hitting the headline and still having a ton of paragraphs to go, Keiji Inafune and the folks over at Comcept must've thought "F**k it, it'll do" before shipping Mighty No. 9.

With graphics that were positively PS2-like, gameplay about as enjoyable as using a Kinect and voice acting that was just laughable, MM9 played about as good as it looked, yet stung like a hornet once you remembered it was worth four million dollars.

In the end, the feedback and consensus was too negative and widespread for Inafune to ignore, and in a livestream he was translated as saying the game was "Better than nothing."

A later update clarified that what Inafune had actually said was "I own all the problems", which isn't really much better, to be honest. Think of how much you could do with four million dollars, then look at the above image.

It's ridiculous.
