In the Q&A following Nintendo’s recent financial results briefing, Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata already clarified that Nintendo won’t talk about their upcoming smartphone games at this year’s E3. In addition, don’t expect to hear specifics about Nintendo’s next gaming system, codenamed “NX” or their Quality of Life platform either. Iwata said the following:

We do not plan on talking specifics about the NX until 2016. Presently, we cannot talk about the time period when it will go on sale or what it’s like. Because we are calling it a ‘new concept,’ we are not thinking of this as a ‘simple replacement’ for the 3DS or the Wii U.

Incidentally, we’re getting various questions for this year’s E3, like ‘Won’t there be a NX announcement?’, ‘Will there be a presentation on smart devices?’, or ‘Will there be more on the quality of life platform?’ However, since we understand that E3 is an event for dedicated video game machines, we do not intend to discuss the smart devices as well as quality of life.

Check out their performances in the video below:

Comcept also announced the full Japanese cast for the game:

Mighty No. 1 Pyrogen:Wataru Takagi
Mighty No. 2 Cryosphere:Misaki Kuno
Mighty No. 3 Dynatron:Miyuki Sawashiro
Mighty No. 4 Seismic:Tetsu Inada
Mighty No. 5 Battalion:Naomi Kusumi
Mighty No. 6 Aviator:Showtaro Morikubo
Mighty No. 7 Brandish:Koki Uchiyama
Mighty No. 8 Countershade:Hochu Otsuka
Mighty No. 9 Beck:Ayumu Murase
Call:M?A?O
Dr. White:Junichi Suwabe
Dr. Sanda:Akio Suyama
Seijiro Sanda:Akio Suyama
Mr. Graham:Takehito Koyasu
Dr. Blackwell:Motomu Kiyokawa

 

Finally, Comcept published an FAQ about the recently announced fact that Mighty No.9 will be published by Deep Silver.

Q: When will backer rewards go out?

A: All backer rewards will go out to coincide with the release date.

Q: Is it too late to change my console/platform or choice, or to update my shipping address for physical rewards?

A: It’s not too late! We will send out a final platform selection survey closer to Mighty No. 9’s release date, you can use this survey to finalize your console/platform of choice. You have two options for updating your address information:

1) Look for a confirmation message in your email, subject line “Confirmation for Order KICKMIGHTYNO9-#XXXXXX”, with the X’s representing your personal identification code. That should have a link to the survey where you can update your address.

2) Fangamer will send out a final address confirmation survey prior to shipping, so please be on the lookout for that a couple months before release!

Q: Can I upgrade my Kickstarter pledge to the recently-announced physical version?

A: The new physical retail version is manufactured and distributed by Deep Silver, and is separate from the disc, USB add-ons and other rewards offered during the original Kickstarter campaign. Therefore, the retail version is not applicable towards redemption of Kickstarter backer rewards.

Q: That’s not fair, I backed at the ____ level to get a USB/disc/etc. because there wasn’t a physical version! You should let me change/update my pledge!

A: While we love that you’re excited from Deep Silver’s retail release of Mighty No. 9, the aforementioned separation between Kickstarter and retail versions currently makes this impossible: As of now, the process involves two different manufacturers (Fangamer and Deep Silver) and multiple distributors (Humble Bundle, and Deep Silver’s regional distributors) for the Kickstarter and retail versions of the game. That’s why making this change would not as simple as upgrading your pledge. That being said, rest assured that your feedback has been heard and passed on to the appropriate channels.

Mighty No. 9 will be released for Wii U this September, with a 3DS version to follow at a later date.
