Yesterday, we reported on a new Mighty No. 9 trailer which featured such gems as gems as “combo on combo action” and gameplay that will “make the bad guys cry like an anime fan on prom night.”
The trailer hasn’t gone down well, and currently has over 14,000 downvotes on YouTube. However, anime fans aren’t the only people dissatisfied with the footage – Inti Creates CEO Takuya Aizu is pretty unhappy, too:
ひどいな。このPVは何なんだよ。 What the hell was D*** *il*** thinking making a crappy PV like this?! Unforgivable.

In case you didn’t realise, “D*** *il***” is almost certainly supposed to be Deep Silver, the company handling the physical versions of the game and (presumably) the company which commissioned the trailer.
Here’s the offending footage, in case you haven’t seen it yet:
Inti Creates is working with Keiji Inafune’s Comcept on the game, which has endured a rather protracted route to market, suffering several delays. Fans have been quick to point out that the game looks a lot different to the lush 2D concept images shown during the Kickstarter campaign – the explosions in the trailer have been singled out for ridicule by non other than Sonic himself:
Dear Anime Fans: On Prom Night, at least we’ll still be there for you. http://pic.twitter.com/y5p6BPHHi1
