Remember how Powerful No. 9 was supposed to Nintendo 3ds port? Well, that never happened, and now Amazon finally canceling people's orders.
Oh, Mighty No. 9, what a terror you were. Starting life as a kickstarter in 2013 from scratch Mega Man artist Keiji Inafune, the platformer was last released in 2016 to… reviews are not good. It launched on PS3, PS4, Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC, but two consoles were notably absent from that originally promised list: the PS Vita, and the Nintendo 3DS . Oddly enough, one of the last stories about Mighty No. 9 from us here at VG247 literally about it as the game was still scheduled to be released on both platformsbut it's clear that didn't happen, and with both consuls now dead for all intents and purposes, it never will.

Now, as seen by Radar gamesit seems that after all these years (almost ten years since its release, just to make you feel old), Amazon is finally canceling orders for the 3DS version of the game. Stuart Gipp from Retronauts share a screenshot of an email from Amazon about his Mighty No. 9 3DS order, which explained that “due to lack of availability, we will not be able to receive the following item from your order. We have canceled the item and apologize for the inconvenience.” Now, I rarely blame Amazon for doing something wrong, but on this rare occasion I will defend it because , you know… the game never came to the 3DS.
Basically, it's time to move on. Inafune, having worked on games like Gunvolt Azure Striker 3 and the next Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Stole Time in the years after Mighty No. 9 to release. This might be the push you needed to heal.
