A bunch of Mighty No. 9 footage has popped up over the past few days, but how’s the game looking specifically on Wii U? You can see for yourself in the video below.
Mighty No. 9 finally launched today, but things haven’t exactly been going smoothly. On Wii U, some players have been reporting various issues. Perhaps most concerning is that the game is apparently bricking some consoles.
Publisher Deep Silver appears to be aware of at least some of the issues facing Mighty No. 9, and thankfully, a patch is already being deployed. We’re hearing that it’s already out in Europe, with North America to follow by day’s end.
An official statement from Deep Silver reads:
“We’re aware of some isolated incidents of consumers experiencing issues on Wii U, and they’re actually being addressed in a patch that’s deploying out on Wii U systems today. The patch is already live in Europe, and should be hitting U.S. before the end of the day.”
Deep Silver has readied its own launch trailer for Mighty No. 9 in North America and Europe. You can find it below.
Yacht Club Games posted a new blog today that covers the upcoming Specter Knight campaign from Shovel Knight in-depth. You can see some animated images and a rundown of the character’s different moves here.
As for when the Specter Knight campaign is launching, that’s still unknown at this point. Yacht Club is currently working on all campaigns at once – Specter Knight and King Knight – plus Body Swap and Battle Mode features.
Here’s the rundown from Yacht Club:
When Shovel Knight originally kicked off we focused entirely on making the original Shovel Knight campaign the absolute best! It’s the game we originally pitched and knew we wanted to spend all of our efforts and energy polishing the core campaign. After release, we gathered everyone’s impressions before cracking open the game once more to brew up Plague of Shadows! Plague Knight was a chance to build upon and deliver all new story, characters, and playstyle. We made many iterations (threw out a lot of ideas), and learned some great lessons on how best to extend and change up the existing Shovel Knight game world.
With that experience fresh in our minds, the team here is now working on all remaining campaigns and updates at once! That means Specter Knight, King Knight, Body Swap, and Battle Mode (for PC and consoles). That’s a lot more game — and it should arrive sooner than the wait between Shovel Knight and Plague Knight. Creating these updates simultaneously will allow us to plan more cohesively. How levels change between the two characters, how much time is needed for new mechanics/systems, stories interweaving, and so on. Once we’re nearing completion on one set of updates, we’ll be switching our focus to a single campaign to make sure it’s polished for release. Then we’ll be doing the same by switching to the next campaign! Here are some answers to the most frequent questions:
Before the plug was pulled on the Disney Infinity franchise, new figures were in the planning stages. One of these was a new design for Dr. Strange. It was never made into an actual product, but Infiniteer Adventures has a look at what the figure could have been.
Marvelous issued several new Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns screenshots (and a few pieces of art) today. The full set, posted below, shows off the various pets in the game. We also have a full listing of dogs, cats, and capybaras available in the game after the break.
Nintendo World Report has shared some off-screen footage of Monster Hunter Generations from the game’s E3 demo. Check it out below.
Last month, Nintendo confirmed plans to localize Disney Magical World 2. The game will be launching in North America on October 14. There hasn’t been any news for PAL regions yet, but Disney Magical World 2 will almost certainly release in Europe and Australia since it’s now been rated in the latter territory.
Protect Me Knight 2 originally came out in Japan as a 3DS eShop game in 2014. Ancient confirmed the game’s localization towards the end of last year, though there hasn’t been too much news since.
The second volume of the official soundtrack did recently come out, revealing a new English name: Gotta Protectors. Ancient has since confirmed that this is officially the new English title. Now we just need to know when the game itself will be available outside of Japan!
Warner Bros. has come out with a new LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens character vignette for Kylo Ren, the dark warrior who commands the First Order. It also features original dialogue from actor Adam Driver who plays the character in the movie.
