Mighty No. 9 has reached its third goal on Kickstarter after Keiji Inafune and his company Comcept launched the campaign launched less than a week ago.
Players will now be treated to a New Game Plus and Turbo Mode thanks to the $1.5 million in funding raised thus far. Mac and Linux versions were guaranteed at $1.35 million.
A yet-to-be-announced stretch goal awaits Mighty No. 9 at $1.75 million. That will be followed by a making-of documentary at $2 million, another unannounced stretch goal at $2.2 million, and Wii U, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 versions at $2.5 million.
