Mighty No. 9, Keiji Inafune’s new project seeking funding on Kickstarter, has already hit its target. In less than two full days, the $900,000 goal has been reached.

Mighty No. 9 still has a ways to go before development is guaranteed for consoles. At present, PC is the only confirmed platform. Console versions will be made a reality if $2.5 million is raised.

Mega Man creator launches new Kickstarter for brand new project, “Mighty No. 9” – could come to Wii U

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U eShop | 11 Comments

Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune has just launched a new Kickstarter for “Mighty No. 9” after announcing the project at PAX Prime 2013 just moments ago.

Mighty No. 9 is described as “an all-new Japanese side-scrolling action game that takes the best aspects of the 8- and 16-bit era classics you know and love”. Players take on the role of Beck, “the 9th in a line of powerful robots, and the only one not infected by a mysterious computer virus that has caused mechanized creatures the world over to go berserk.”

Players will be running, jumping, blasting, and transforming in six different stages. More levels may be added depending on stretch goals. You’ll be able to tackle the stages in any order of your choosing. Similar to Mega Man, you can use weapons and abilities taken from enemies.

Mighty No. 9 is currently planned for PC. The Kickstarter page mentions that other platforms such as Wii U “are a high priority,” but will only be made a reality if a $2.5 million stretch goal is met.

Mighty No. 9 is tentatively scheduled for launch in spring 2015. Donations will need to reach $900,000 by October 1 in order to secure funding.

You can find the official Kickstarter page with a ton of additional details here.

Giana Sisters’ missing GamePad sound isn’t a bug, but will be patched

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 5 Comments

Black Forest Games says that its implementation of off-TV play in Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams, in which sound is not emitted from the GamePad, is not a bug. The studio is working on a patch, however.

Responding to a fan on Facebook, Black Forest acknowledged the issue. It’s a “problem” that the studio intends to fix “as soon as possible”.

Black Forest’s message in full states:

The missing sound is not a bug, it is a known behavior which does not violate the technical guidelines of the WiiU.
We love all our fans and are working on getting a patch for the sound problem. Nintendo does not demand that the sound is there on release and by such we released it to keep our release deadline. We agreed that we wanted to keep our deadline and then work towards fixing the sound as soon as possible, atm we have a lot of things going on in the company but the WiiU sound is in the works and hopefully we will have a patch to fix it within a reasonable timeframe, it is our first release on a consol like the WiiU so the work is a bit different than what we are used to. All in all we are working on the problem and ask for your patience while we get used to the console market/patching as well as fixing this issue.
