After countless stretch goals, more than four million dollars have been put into Mighty No. By far, this is one of the most funded gaming Kickstarters seen in a long time. This all comes with the knowledge of the game’s finances.
Mighty no. 9 update#
9 looks like an HD update to a classic Mega Man game, but with promise of being the spiritual successor to Mega Man, this doesn’t appear to be the most invigorating endeavor. Even Beck’s walking animation has a sluggishness to it.
Level designs look flatter and less vibrant than other indie platformers like Freedom Planet or Outland.
The newest footage definitely channels the Mega Man spirit, but the aesthetics (at least from a technical standpoint) appear rough. We’re all excited for this, but judging by a recently released video featuring a new stage, it’s difficult to ignore the wrinkles. 9 winding down, we’re likely to see the game’s official release sometime this year. But as 2015 begins, should we be seeing more on display? 9 is recapturing the joyous energy that many gamers thought was lost forever. While Capcom fumbles around with the Mega Man franchise, settling for Smash Bros. 9 is almost identical to Mega Man, from the 2D plane to the abilities to the synchronous names of its main hero and heroine.

The game is also expected to also be ported to Nintendo 3DS and PS Vita.Mighty No. 9 is available now for PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360 (delayed), Wii U, and PC.

Most players will breeze through the main campaign mode in around five hours, meaning that those with above-average skills will likely be able to complete Mighty No. The game's length might turn out to be its biggest failure.
Just about everything from its awkward gameplay to its underwhelming graphics have been criticized at length. The game was meant to be a return to the classic gameplay of the original Mega Man series - but this week's critical response has not been kind.

It's not clear whether these backers asked for their name to be omitted, or simply didn't offer up the necessary information to the development team. This is perhaps to be expected, given that some 67,226 backers helped fund the project by contributing to its Kickstarter campaign - but the credits are hardly a fitting tribute for those that put money down.Ī huge number of the people listed in the credits don't actually have their name listed they're simply credited as 'A Generous Backer' and given a Mighty No.
