Details about Azure Striker Gunvolt’s new Japanese Voice Mode
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 4 Comments
At PAX Prime 2015, Inti Creates said that Azure Striker Gunvolt would be getting a Japanese Voice Mode. This will be added to the 3DS game via an update at some point in the future.
On its official website, Inti Creates has shared more details about the mode. Here’s the lowdown straight from the studio:
* The entire script of the game has been re-translated to fit with the original Japanese voices. This means that the script is how it would be in the Japanese version, but translated into English. Japanese references to things like takoyaki and tokusatsu shows, just to name a few, are kept as-is.
* All of the dialogue from the Japanese version is intact in this mode, from the mid-stage conversations to all of your chats with Joule.
* Despite the fact that the presence of mid-stage conversations with English text are one of the main reasons for having this mode, you can still disable/enable these at any time with the push of a button.
* To play the game in Japanese Voice Mode, select it from the Language Settings menu before starting the game.

Inafune says he doesn’t make games he can play, talks Mighty No. 9 difficulty
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Kotaku UK recently asked Mighty No. 9 creator Keiji Inafune if he’s the game’s best player currently. To this, he noted:
“It’s not an option to make a game that I can play! It’s best to make a game that I really have to make an effort to play. My staff, though, are really good.”
Mighty No. 9 has no training mode or anything of the sort, and as Inafune puts it: “Everybody, even beginners, has to deal with what’s thrown at them!” What the developers have instead done is incorporated a learning curve.
As Inafune explained:
“There are systems built in that train players, in a way, to be quicker and more skilful by the end. This is what we do with dashing. We want players to take risks in the game, yes, but we do balance that.”
Inafune also elaborated on Mighty No. 9’s dash system, which allows players to build up combos if they’re quick, effective and manage to not die.
“It’s a system that really challenges players. And we want even expert players who are really good at the game to be challenged. When they think they can master it, there are mechanisms that make them realise they have to think twice.”

Mighty No. 9 delayed, now targeted for Q1 2016
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 11 Comments
Mighty No. 9 has received a significant delay. On the game’s backer forums, it was confirmed that the title is now targeted for Q1 2016.
Speaking about the delay, the team behind Mighty No. 9 stated:
Of course, it is important to explain why exactly the game is being delayed. As we have communicated in the updates to our backers, all of the core content for the game is developed and in a complete state. However, there are still bugs and issues pertaining to the online features that are included in the game. These bugs and issues have a direct affect on enjoyment of the game, so a decision was made to work these issues out before release. Currently, comcept and their partners are working at full capacity to resolve these issues and fix any remaining bugs.
Remember: Mighty No. 9 was originally planned for September. It could now launch as late as March 2016.
