UNSTOPPABLE JAPANESE KICKSTARTER MIGHTY NO. 9<\/b><\/div>\n
COMING TO PLAYSTATION 3, XBOX 360, AND Wii U!<\/b><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/b><\/div>\n
CONSOLE VERSIONS JOIN PC, MAC, AND LINUX\u2014<\/b><\/div>\n
AND THERE WAS MUCH REJOICING!<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Tokyo, Japan –\u00a0September 17, 2013\u00a0– Thanks to the generosity of nearly 40,000 supporters worldwide, Japanese action-game\u00a0Mighty No. 9<\/b>\u00a0will now be developed for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Wii U consoles. The announcement was made on the project\u2019s Kickstarter page (http:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/mightyno9\/mighty-no-9<\/a>) as it surpassed $2.2 million in crowdfunding and achieved the highly-anticipated stretch goal, adding console platforms to the previously-announced PC, Mac, and Linux versions.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Reaching the milestone after just 17 days since its surprise launch at the PAX Prime gaming convention in Seattle,\u00a0Mighty No. 9<\/b>\u00a0is already the most successful Japanese crowdfunding project to date and is on track to be one of the biggest gaming Kickstarter campaigns from any territory, period.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mighty No. 9<\/b>\u00a0is an evolution of the classic Japanese side-scrolling action games that project leader Keiji Inafune built his reputation on as the former head of R&D at Capcom. The game achieved its initial funding goal of $900,000 in less than 40 hours during Labor Day weekend, and the momentum hasn\u2019t let up since. Thanks to an incredibly active group of supporters, project funding has continued to smash through stretch goals one after the other, including extra levels, new game modes, Mac and Linux versions, and a series of making-of documentary episodes from 2 Player Productions.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Mighty No. 9<\/b>\u00a0is being developed by Inafune\u2019s company, Comcept, together with Mega Man 9 and 10 developer Inti Creates Co., Ltd. The Kickstarter campaign was planned and executed by Tokyo-based game consulting and localization firm 8-4, Ltd., with partner sourcing and assistance from the DDM game talent agency.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The\u00a0Mighty No. 9<\/b>\u00a0Kickstarter campaign continues on toward its next goals, including an online co-op mode and support for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles, involving backers and fans with daily updates of concept art, videos, podcasts, and an upcoming backer-vote to determine the design of one of Mighty No. 9\u2019s main characters.<\/div>\n
