5. Mighty No. 9's Delays Are Due To A Terrible Product
Release Date: Q2 The Hype: A spiritual follow-up to Keiji Inafune's iconic Mega Man, Mighty No. 9 is an action platformer which was largely funded through Kickstarter and has had significant fan input throughout its development. Why It Might Suck: Despite a passionate fanbase, the game has had an extremely rickey production, having originally been scheduled for an April 2015 release and being delayed numerous times since, and still not having a concrete drop date. Many pledgers have grown frustrated with the developers for their perceived lack of communication and transparency regarding the game's production, and this could very well mean that it simply isn't very good. Of course, it could be a case of triumph through adversity, but given how unprofessional the team has been in conveying the production to the people who bankrolled it in the first place, it's hard to be optimistic for anything more than a mediocre end product.
