Mighty No. 9 is a video game that was crowdfunded via Kickstarter in 2013 and was released in 2016, and is considered one of the biggest disappointments in gaming from the past decade. However, Mighty No. 9's flaws came during development, and so today, instead of bashing Kickstarter, Mighty No. 9 itself, or its mastermind Keiji Inafune, we're going to use research, analysis, and interviews with some of those involved to get the full development story of Mighty No. 9. This is The Art of Failure.
