Shantae: Half-Genie Hero and Hyper Light Drifter will feature crossovers between the two titles.

In Shantae, Kickstarter backers will receive a code for an exclusive Risky Boots quest featuring “Drifter”. This will be available to those who pledge $12 or more.

An overview of the quest published by WayForward reads:

“Risky Boots is searching high and low for the magical artifacts she needs to enter the Genie Realm and destroy the do-gooding Shantae once and for all. She soon crosses paths with a wandering stranger named “Drifter”. By fulfilling Drifter’s Quest, Risky Boots will gain the Drifter Blade, a brand new weapon with special properties designed in collaboration with Alexander Preston, creator of Hyper Light Drifter!”

Hyper Light Drifter will also feature its own collaboration. Heart Machine has teamed up with WayForward to include a Risky Boots bonus quest, which will be offered to backers who pledge $10 or more. Players will receive a special item – not yet announced – for completing the quest.

With just four hours remaining, Mighty No. 9 has managed to obtain enough funds on Kickstarter for another stretch goal. Total donations of the project, including PayPal, have now exceeded $3.7 million. That means a single-player Call stage and boss are in.

What exactly does this entail? It’s described as “an all-new single-player level, including a boss fight, where you can play as Mighty No. 9’s heroine, Call”.

Unsurprisingly, Mighty No. 9 has reached a new goal on Kickstarter. Total donations – including PayPal funds – have surpassed $3.1 million. As a result, Mighty No. 9 will be receiving a support character.

Players will be able to use the sidekick, who possesses special powers, during Beck’s “time of greatest need”. The support character “will be some kind of assistant that will drop in for a limited time, help out somehow, and then zoom away”.

Next up for Mighty No. 9 are PlayStation 4/Xbox One versions at $3.3 million, and PS Vita/3DS versions at $3.5 million. Will these stretch goals be reached before the campaign ends in less than two days?

The video above is “A super-short, super-rough engine test Inti Creates made in just seven days to see if Unreal would be viable for Mighty No. 9.” The game may not necessarily look like the footage shown, but it’s still neat to look at!

Here’s an official overview of the video:

“A super-short, super-rough engine test Inti Creates made in just seven days to see if Unreal would be viable for Mighty No. 9. To be 100% clear (caps lock on!): THE GAME WILL NOT NECESSARILY LOOK LIKE THIS VIDEO, MOVE LIKE THIS VIDEO, OR ACT LIKE THIS VIDEO — THIS IS A COMPLETELY ROUGH TEST ONLY, MADE IN LITERALLY ONE WEEK, USING ALL PLACEHOLDER ASSETS AND ANIMATION just to test how parts of the engine work. With no shaders, filters, or even models and key art in place yet, normally we would never show anything like this since it’s not representative of the final game at all, but in the spirit of this Kickstarter in showing how the game is made, even from the very earliest steps, we thought it would still be pretty cool to see a glimpse of Beck moving around in the engine (even if it is a placeholder Beck, moving through a placeholder level with placeholder enemies and animations!).”
