Three years ago, Keiji Inafune of Mega Man fame left Capcom to start his own independent studio, Comcept, so that he could devote himself to making the kinds of games he wanted to make. Now one of those games is up on Kickstarter, called Mighty No. 9 and if it reminds you of Mega Man, it should.
The team at Comcept is compromised of veteran Mega Man developers, and its project will be an all-new Japanese side-scrolling action game that blends the best aspects of eight-bit and 16-bit classics with modern technology, fresh mechanics, and fan feedback for something amazing.
In Mighty No. 9, you’ll play as Beck, the ninth in a line of powerful robots and the only one that isn’t infected by a mysterious computer virus that caused other mechanized creatures to go crazy. Mighty No. 9 will borrow from the Mega Man series the ability to use weapons and abilities stolen from your enemies.
Mighty No. 9 is being developed for PC and will be available through Steam and DRM-free digital distribution methods. It’ll have gamepad support, and ports to consoles and other platforms will be dependent on the funding being raised on Kickstarter. The goal is set at $900,000 with stretch goals leaping all the way to $2.5 million which will get gamers Mighty No. 9 on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo Wii U.
