Nintendo will be sponsoring this year’s Evo, according to the eSports’ official website. What does that mean exactly? Well, the Big N should be involved with Evo 2014 in some fashion – hopefully in the form of a Smash Bros. tournament!

Thanks to Luka for the tip.

An animated series based on the upcoming game Mighty. No 9 is on the way, Keiji Inafune announced at Anime Expo 2014 today. It is scheduled to debut in Q2 2016.

Inafune debuted a trailer for the show, and you can find a few off-screen images from the video above. He was quick to note that all Kickstarter funds are only going towards the game, and not the animated series.

Digital Frontier is handling the Mighty No. 9 series. The company has previously been involved with the Yakuza and Tekken games, Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, Vanquish, and more. Digital Frontier also worked on films like Resident Evil: Damnation.

On Facebook, XSEED made a comment that some believed was a suggestion that the company wouldn’t be pursuing “fanservice” games. This actually isn’t the case though.

XSEED localization specialist Tom Lipschultz has since clarified that the publisher isn’t interested in fanservice alone. Titles need to have strong gameplay as well. With something like Senran Kagura, XSEED feels “it has great gameplay, well-developed characters and a fairly deep mythos behind it.”

Below are the full comments from Lipschultz:
