Shantae: Half-Genie Hero has reached its first stretch goal on Kickstarter. Having raised $500,000, the game will now include a Risky Mode.

Risky Mode will allow players to tackle two full campaigns. There will be a main storyline featuring Shantae, and an alternate plot with Risky Boots taking center stage.

Shantae: Half-Genie Hero has four days left to reach additional stretch goals.



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”.


Takashi Tateishi, the composer of Mega Man 2, is on board for Mighty No. 9’s development. Mega Man 1 composer Manami Matsumae and Inti Creates’ action-music veteran Ippo Yamada were previously confirmed for the project.

In just 24 hours, Mighty No. 9 has smashed through another Kickstarter stretch goal. Combined funds on the crowdfunding site along with PayPal donations exceeded $2.9 million, meaning the title will be receiving an intro stage and boss.

Here’s what the stretch goal specifically entails:

“We add an epic introductory stage—complete with a closing boss encounter—that players will take on before facing any of the Mighty No. boss levels! This will help ease everyone into the world of Mighty No. 9, and serve as a nice primer on the basic game systems and controls!”

Mighty No. 9’s next stretch goal is a support character at $3.1 million. With the rate the Kickstarter is going, that target should be met before the campaign’s end on October 1.


Precursor Games has put Shadow of the Eternals on hold. The company attempted to raise money through the project through two Kickstarters, but neither campaign met its funding goal.

A message posted on the official Shadow of the Eternals forum from Denis Dyack apparently confirms that the game isn’t dead. Dyack, however, did not say if and when it could return.

Dyack’s message in full reads:
