Mighty No. 9 and Mega Man are two similar characters. Both are robots. Both are from creator Keiji Inafune. Who’d he pick in a fight?

That would be Mighty No. 9, as he explained to Kotaku:

“Unfortunately Mega Man is an older robot and uses the older parts. A little bit too old school. I don’t know if he would be able to compete with the newer, shinier version of Beck.”

Continuing on the topic of similarity, Mighty No. 9 and Mega Man offer comparable gameplay elements, but Inafune feels both franchises can co-exist.

“Yeah. If the question is just, ‘Can they exist as two different franchises at the same time?’ then my answer is yes, of course. Capcom should be doing things with the Mega Man franchise just like we are with this original game.”

“Ultimately, it would be great for the fans because then they would be able to play even double the content that they otherwise could,” he continued. “So, in this perspective, yes, please, let both games exist.”

Most know Bertil Hörberg as the creator of Gunman Clive. He’s now hard at work on a brand new title for the 3DS eShop, but is also an official Wii U developer.

Hörberg announced on Twitter earlier today that he’s now in possession of a Wii U dev kit:

Don’t expect any Wii U titles from Hörberg in the immediate future. His next title is only slated for 3DS, he confirmed.

Ghost Song: A Journey of Hope’s Kickstarter ended last night successfully. The game had already reached its funding goal long before the campaign’s conclusion.

Nintendo fans were hoping that the Kickstarter would manage to raise a total of $60,000 to secure a Wii U version of Ghost Song, but funds fell roughly $6,000 short. Still, as mentioned previously, creator Matt White said he’d be looking to bring the title to Nintendo’s console even if the stretch goal wasn’t met, and that’s something he reconfirmed following the campaign’s end a few hours ago.

White wrote in a new update:

“To those who may be lamenting about the Wii U goal — I’m working to make this happen anyway. That’s not official, but it’s a desire of mine and I hope to have that out at some point, if not at release, then following release.”
