PROTIP: Press the ← and → keys to navigate the gallery, 'g' to view the gallery, or 'r' to view a random image.

Balan Virginworld MIGHTY NO. CHAD Developed by the people behind FlingSmash, Yoshi's New Island and Hey! Pikmin $60, thinks of itself as a next-gen AAA when there are far better games for that price or cheaper (like Super Mario Odyssey or A Hat in time) Only $20 + $5 DLC (if not on sale for even lower), competitive price for the quality Developed by the people behind Mega Man 9&10, Zero and ZX Actually pays homage to its spiritual predecessor +80 costumes, more than half of them are either useless, It's a spiritual successor to NIGHTS at surface level, has nothing to do gameplay-wise nor has the same level of nuance 9 costumes, all of them functional and redundant or situational (most of them can't jump if they are attack-based) Creator has apologized serve a specific utility (and all can both jump and shoot) to the fans for the Creator's last chance at making games and blew it disappointment Fundamentally flawed, unsalvageable regarless of delays without re-doing the whole game agaio Never got to make any of its planned TV shows/movies/comics/etc., pure-breed videogame franchise Already made plushies and a book that tells the story better than the game it's based on, sellout Only lacking in polish, at its core a competent run&shoot game Funded by a massive publisher like Square Enix, unexcusably cheap-feeling Independently funded by fans' donations, ran into monetary constrains and yet was able to deliver on all of its contents Uses every button available on the controller for a rich variety of actions 80% of the buttons do the same thing, even on menues

As someone who didn't back or even follow MN9, so I don't feel personally spurned by its development, I can at least say that despite its many flaws, I can still have a bit of fun with it. Especially with the Ray DLC, as I find her campaign genuinely better than the main game.

Balan has good art direction, but it's boring as shit with no true joy to be had.
