Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

After a long and tumultuous development period with multiple delays, Mighty No. 9 will finally be released next month. To prepare for that, developer comcept has started sending out platform surveys to those who backed the game’s Kickstarter project; backers can select their platform of choice with those. These e-mails are being sent out over the course of several days, so be patient if you don’t get yours today. Backers have until May 29th to fill out this survey – if you don’t complete it by then, you will be sent a Steam key for the game by default.

Bloodstained bringing out the main game first followed by additional content

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 13 Comments

There’s a lot involved with Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night. On top of the base game, last years’ Kickstarter reached stretch goals for features like various modes, local co-op, and more.

How will Bloodstained go about bringing out all of its content? It sounds like the team will be adopting a staggered release, meaning we’ll see the base game first followed by additional content. That should help avoid a major wait, and the experience will be kept fresh over time with new features.

Igarashi shows off three enemies in Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 3 Comments

Koji Igarashi posted a new update on the Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Kickstarter page today. We have a look at a trio of minor enemy designs: Seama, Dullahammer, and Morte.

Here’s an overview of each one:

Seama
The demon parasite of the sea! Water monsters are always essential, but we wanted to do something unusual this time around—that’s why our sea monster influence was the humble jellyfish.
It worked out well. But it’s so jiggly… it looks kind of delicious.
Dullahammer
A headless knight that attacks by swinging its own head like a flail. I love the idea of really large minor enemies—the sheer size makes you feel like you’ve met a challenging opponent.
The uni, or sea-urchin-like substance inside Dullahammer’s armor is an accent. He looks kind of delicious, too…
Morte
A lesser demon that lacks a corporeal form, this mud-like creature can’t hold its shape. If it could talk, it would probably yell something like, “Give me a physical form!” By the way, it doesn’t drop any skills. It’s a lesser demon, after all…

Head on over to the Kickstarter update here for a work-in-progress animation of a Morte attempting to engulf Miriam.

New Bloodstained development update video

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Videos, Wii U | 0 comments

A new Bloodstained development update video was shared yesterday as part of a post on the game’s Kickstarter. It starts off by showing the katana animation, and then highlights a “grid” map used to test different aspects of the project.

Here’s the full video:

And Koji Igarashi’s explanation of it:

Hi, everyone! This month we’d like to show you something that few people outside the development team ever get to see: A work-in-progress “grid” map that we’re using to test stage size, scrolling mechanics, enemy placement, and more. I’ve provided some narration to make it easier to see where we’re making progress.
We’re also revealing the katana animation. To provide our animators a reference for the motion, the team filmed me swinging an umbrella. Days after the video shoot I still had some muscle pain, but let’s please keep that between us…

You can find the full Kickstarter update here.
