A now-removed Game Informer preview offers gameplay details about Mighty No. 9. You can find them rounded up below.

– Beck can’t jump on walls
– He can dash and grab the edges of/climb ledges
– Only shoots horizontally in front of him
– Beck can continue firing at enemies until they blow up
– However, the fastest way to take them down is to shoot until they glow a certain color, then dash through them
– If enemies glow blue, you can dash through them to collect health
– Need to dash through 10 blue enemies to get a health boost
– Temporary weapon boost from red enemies
– This lets you shoot through enemies damaging the ones behind them
– Green temporarily boosts your walking speed
– For red and green enemies, a shrinking colored circle will appear above your head letting you know how much time you have before you run out
– The dash mechanic is unlimited even when dashing through the air
– After defeating bosses, they will appear in other levels to help you progress
– One boss in the game is named Battalion (temporary)
– This particular boss has an instant kill
– Damage Battalion by firing away until he glows, then dash through him
– If you don’t dash through the boss before it stops glowing, it will recover the health you took away

Some of the first reviews for Azure Striker Gunvolt appeared online today. While there aren’t a ton of them, here’s what we have thus far:

Destructoid – 8 / 10
GamesBeat – 80 / 100
GameSpot – 8 / 10
IGN – 7.8 / 10
NintendoWorldReport – 8.5 / 10

Creator Keith Webb has finally provided an update on the 3DS eShop sequel to Go! Go! Kokopolo, and also explained why the original game is being pulled from DSiWare.

Regarding Go! Go! Kokopolo’s removal, Webb explained that publisher Room 4 Games shut down its office in the UK, which was used to bring the title to DSiWare. That means it can no longer be sold to consumers.

And how about Kokopolo 3D – Space Recipe For Disaster? It’s thankfully still in the works, but Webb “really can’t guarantee when that’ll be released.” We do at least know that the game will offer new levels, bosses, music intro’s, endings, and more. Currently, it’s about 60 percent complete.

Head past the break for all of Webb’s comments about Go! Go! Kokopolo and its sequel.
