Mighty No. 9 adds support character
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 2 Comments
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?
Video: Mighty No. 9 rough engine test
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Videos, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
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!).”

Edge of Eternity Kickstarter opens, Wii U version planned
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
Midgar Studio has launched a Kickstarter for a project known as “Edge of Eternity”. The developer describes its game as “a new RPG that will lead you to experience a unique and unusual universe. The action takes place in a world whose design combines some steampunk influence – the best Japanese RPG – and Medieval age influences.”
According to Midgar, the plan is to have Edge of Eternity on practically every platform – Wii U, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, PS Vita, and more. First, though, the team will need to raise $200,000 to secure funding. There’s also a $600,000 goal which will allow Midgar to create “a new version of the game using all the HD and resources of the next gen platforms”.
