Mighty No. 9’s Beck has a slightly updated design
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Beck, the main character of Mighty No. 9, has a slightly updated design. Beck now has more of a white-themed style going on.
Director Koji Imaeda explained the change over on Mighty No. 9’s official website:
From the very beginning we designed Beck to have a neutral, grey base, with the idea of wanting to make something completely new and unique.
But development soldiered on, and as we approached the last leg, we started looking closer at Beck. As a protagonist that could absorb the abilities of his siblings and take on various forms, our image of his appropriate color shifted from “neutrality” to “containing all possibilities”… and since white is a combination of all colors of light, we felt that would actually suit his character better! Hence, we went with the coloring change.
Pure and simple, this Beck is ready to take on all kinds of cool transformations. We hope you like our new-and-improved hero!
So there you have it, Beck’s look has gone from good ol’ gray to a new, noble white!
You can get a look at Beck’s new design in the “boxart” image above.

Art Academy Wii U now appears to be a 2015 release
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
Nintendo has long said that Art Academy Wii U (full version, not SketchPad) would be coming this year. Sadly, it looks like this is no longer the case.
A listing on Nintendo’s North American website now lists a vague “2015” release date. You may also recall that the title was also absent from the most recent Nintendo Direct.
