NEWS: Inti Creates' Azure Striker Gunvolt Game Gets Anime in Winter 2016

At least they released a well polished game first.

I'm so glad the people who did not realize that Gunvolt was our savior from day 1 are now on the Gunvolt train due to a certain game being a disaster. Your sins have been forgiven.

Mighty No. 9 isn't even really a bad game. Yeah, it definitely fell short of what backers expected (and we're talking about the reasonable expectations, anyone thinking that initial concept art would be exactly how the game looked was fooling themselves hard) but it was still a decent game. As someone who didn't back it (didn't even know about Kickstarter that much until after the fact) and just bought the game when it came out I had an alright time. It is definitely nowhere near the best Mega Man/MMX games but it is decent for what it is. It's more of how Inafune and co. handled the whole development time by continuously promising to add more and more when most backers just wanted what they were initially promised in the first place. The extra stuff could just come later but instead we got the game getting multiple delays most of which probably wouldn't have been necessary if they had just focused on getting the core game done and worrying about the bonus stuff later.

Keep in mind I got it on PS4. The Wii U version apparently being so buggy that a few consoles have even bricked from playing it is just downright inexcusable. Hopefully those unfortunate enough to have that happen to them can get fully reimbursed.

What's also sad is this gives us fuel to the naysayers who just condemn Kickstarter as a whole and those that use it to get games funded or those who donate to support developers. Never mind the successes that have come out of Kickstarter (Shovel Knight, for one, which delivered the solid game first and then focused on slowly adding extra features), you have a fiasco like this and those naysayers are going to come out with torches and pitchforks. Hopefully we can get another big success like Shovel Knight
soon to shut the naysayers down.

Despite this not meeting expectations,were still going to get big projects that am sure will be successful (Bloodstained,Yooka-Laylee,and the System Shock remake).

Inti Creates also announced at the panel that it plans to release the Azure Striker Gunvolt Striker Pack on September 30. The set will feature the Azure Striker Gunvolt and Azure Striker Gunvolt games in a physical package for the first time in North America. Yacht Club Games (Shovel Knight) is publishing the set.

This is so hype, i loved the first gunvolt and i know im going to love the second, i hope the OVA has an English dub
