Mighty No. 9 is a bland, frustrating game that doesn’t deserve to succeed Mega Man

What a mighty letdown.

Mighty No. 9 was supposed to be the Mega Man sequel that fans like me have wanted for years. It’s out for a bunch of platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Wii U, and PC now, with 3DS, Vita, Linux, and Mac releases coming at an unspecified time (I played the PS4 version). Its Kickstarter campaign promised a 2D action game full of the stuff that made Capcom’s series so great: fun bosses, creative weapons, and tricky platforming.
