Comcept provided a brief look at a new level from Mighty No. 9 today. View it in the video above. You’ll also find a New Year’s greeting from Keiji Inafune!

Mighty No. 9 shouldn’t be in development for too much longer. In a website update, Comcept noted that the game is now in a “pre-final” beta stage.

Comcept still needs to fill certain things in, though the current build features all story stages, Online Race Battles, a Challenge Mode, and more. The main work left to be done is to finish Mighty No. 9’s ending, perform adjustments, debugging, visual tweaks, and other things of that nature.

Beck, the main character of Mighty No. 9, has a slightly updated design. Beck now has more of a white-themed style going on.

Director Koji Imaeda explained the change over on Mighty No. 9’s official website:

From the very beginning we designed Beck to have a neutral, grey base, with the idea of wanting to make something completely new and unique.

But development soldiered on, and as we approached the last leg, we started looking closer at Beck. As a protagonist that could absorb the abilities of his siblings and take on various forms, our image of his appropriate color shifted from “neutrality” to “containing all possibilities”… and since white is a combination of all colors of light, we felt that would actually suit his character better! Hence, we went with the coloring change.

Pure and simple, this Beck is ready to take on all kinds of cool transformations. We hope you like our new-and-improved hero!

So there you have it, Beck’s look has gone from good ol’ gray to a new, noble white!

Comcept is getting involved with crowdfunding once again for Mighty No. 9 – this time for downloadable content. If another $190,000 is raised through slacker backers by the end of 2014, backers will receive a bonus DLC code for an extra level and boss, which will arrive in summer 2015.

Comcept already confirmed that the boss in question is Ray. In Mighty No. 9, Ray acts as a rival to main character Beck.

On its Kickstarter page, Comcept wrote:

First of all, let’s clarify a few things up front, starting with what “potential DLC” means: The “DLC” term is there to make it clear that, no matter what, this content wouldn’t ship at the same time as the game. It would be need to be “DownLoaded,” putting the “DL” in “DLC” 🙂

Otherwise, this content would be “extra bonus content” – working the same way it did with the English voicework – that would be added on top of everything already promised as part of the Kickstarter. That means that, if we get the necessary funding from slacker backers we need to make it possible (more on that later), this would be extra bonus content! (FYI the English voicework will be included with the game at launch, but this DLC would come later.)

Also, we want to stress that none of the developers have or would begin working in earnest on this DLC until their work is done on the Mighty No. 9 retail release. (Which, as some of you might know, is typically several months before any game ships for most disciplines, especially artists and such.) Speaking of schedules, if we reach the necessary funding by the end of this calendar year, we estimate this DLC bonus content would be ready to play in summer 2015.

But wait – we still haven’t explained what the content is! Simply speaking, it would be an entirely new level and boss: Beck’s rival, Ray! (That’s a working name, BTW!)

The latest Mighty No. 9 Kickstarter update has revealed that the game will be receiving English voice acting in the final build. Backers were asked to participate in a vote for either English or Japanese voices, and English edged forward by a only a matter of hundreds.

Here’s the full quote:

YOUR “VOICE” HAS BEEN HEARD!
We’ve been seeing great discussions all over our forums, twitter feed and Facebook for the past week, all focused on a single burning question: English or Japanese? Which language will all the voice acting be in for Mighty No. 9?!

The response has been amazing: over 20,000 of you weighed in with your choice over the last few days, and now we’re finally back with your decision:

Mighty No. 9 will include English voice acting!
You might be thinking “Well DUH! Of course it’s English — the largest majority of Mighty No. 9 backers speak English!” And sure, you’d be right, but you’d be surprised how close the vote was — less than 1,000 votes separated the two choices, from the start right down to the end!

So a HUGE thanks to ALL of you for helping us make Mighty No. 9 a better game, with special thanks to our slacker backers and beckers who upped their reward tiers, since it’s their purchases that will make this bonus content possible and guarantees it for all our backers! You guys & gals are the best! (?^?)?
