Mighty No. 9 Delayed Again On Xbox 360
Mighty No. 9 has been delayed on Xbox 360, with other platforms still waiting for release.
The reasoning for the delay comes down to a bug found by Microsoft during the certification process.
Via the official website: "There were issues regarding the publishing process for the Xbox 360 version of the game, and a certification bug was found in the final round of testing which is delaying the release of that version for several days.
“Our team has already re-submitted the build to Deep Silver (and to Microsoft), and we expect it to go gold within a few days if all goes according to plan.
The post goes on to mention that Kickstarter backers who opted for the Xbox 360 version will receive Steam keys in the meantime, and “once the Xbox 360 version is ready for release we will send out those codes to the relevant backers ASAP."
