To its credit, Comcept continues to go above and beyond in utilising its Kickstarter page to provide regular updates on Mighty No. 9, which will come to Wii U, 3DS and a host of other platforms in 2015. As part of a regular update it's posted a new video with around two minutes of game footage, a good indication of recent progress.
Some of the footage is re-used from the recent launch of a second crowdfunding campaign, though there are certainly some fresh clips, enemies and areas to take in. As for that second and slightly confusing fundraising campaign on the game's official website, it's struggling; it's only raised $12,124 at the time of writing, a long way short of a $200,000 goal that would bring Japanese and English voice acting into the game.
You can see the new video below; are you still hyped about this one coming next week?

Day 1 buy fo sho.
Surely if they find a publisher voice acting would be funded
Can't wait to buy this.
Looks awesome so far
Looks great! Hopefully the game pad is utilized well.
Lookin' good. It becomes clearer and clearer that this is Mega Man in all but name, but hey, with Capcom sitting on that franchise without doing anything with it, I'm not complaining.
To be honest, my hype has kind of died for this.
Not a fan of all the 100% cluttering the screen after the kills.
Not hyped. I will buy it when all the DLCs are already released if there will be.
They got 4 million dollars with the initial backing, and they wanted more? As if 4 million dollars doesn't cover voice acting on an indie game. $200,000 for voice acting!? No, sorry - who are they hiring? Morgan Freeman?
The game looks promising, but I wont be supporting it if it carries on like this. If they claimed to be able to make the game alone with 900k, then 4 million covers PLENTY of extra content.
Heh, looking better as it goes along (a work in progress.). Hopefully they have some way to put in voice acting.
Overall I think it's coming along well enough and quite quickly.
But holy hell, that running animation is horrendous.
Last year, this game was praised as the Messiah of gaming or something. Six months later, everyone's hating on this game. Go figure.
Uhhh... Can Call attack?
GREAT MUSIC
I backed this and I am still interested, but no way I am pledging on that second campaign.
@GeminiSaint
LOL ya know?
That's basically the game industry in a nutshell. A couple of wrong turns here and there and your in the frying pan.
There's something wrong with the running/moving animation. It's like it's skipping frames (pausing). Notice the background movement when he is running.
Meh. I've lost interest. Like others have said, this game looks unimpressive compared to what we saw last year. I know it's still in development, but... with all the money they received, things ought to look better than this by now.
I wish I backed Shovel Knight instead at this point.
Looks lifeless as can be. Where is that energy and charm of the initial 2D artwork? That's what got people thinking and contributing I'm sure of it.
The more I see the less I'm actually excited for this game. I hope it turns out well but as of now this is no longer on my wishlist.
This is LITERALLY my lifelong dream unfolding before my very eyes!
I was 7 years old when I played my first video game- Mega Man 3 on the NES. I fell in love with Mega Man as a kid. I owned the first 4 on NES and X on SNES. I played those games so many times I can't count. They WERE my childhood. In fact I loved Mega Man so much, I used to ask every clerk and employee working a cash register if they sold Mega Man toys (usually at the local drug store- I was a kid, I didn't know any better lol). The answer was always the same, "Mega who?"
My childhood dream of owning a Mega Man toy was never realized (I was grown by the time he became popular enough for commercialization). But I have a new dream now. For years I've wanted to see a return of Mega Man. A true return to form. And this is it. This is so it. Everything is perfect, from the move sets to the weight of the jumps, to the boss powers and of course, all in HD graphics. I've been wanting this for so long. And every time I see more footage it looks even better- even moreso than I could have ever imagined.
I don't care about the voice acting- but I wouldn't miss this game for the world. I backed it and I'm buying it on all 5 platforms. That's how much this game means to me. I can't imagine anyone who grew up with the NES Mega Man games aren't excited for how awesome this game is turning out to be...
Looking good
I am so excited about this game! I'm buying it day one for the Wii U!
You see this Capcom!? People want a Megaman game!! But then the way Capcom have been lately, they'd probably screw it up.
Eh? Am I the only one who's more interested after seeing this trailer?
This is everything that I want in a MegaMan game. Definitely getting this.
@Linkuini I feel you. I have no idea where the hate's coming from. It's unabashedly a Mega Man ripoff, yes, but once you accept that, it's all gravy. This trailer looks (and sounds) awesome, and I can't wait for the full game.
I kind of have to agree on this. I mean I know it's early days still on this game, but it looks rather bland and the dash attack seems too powerful. AND HE WANTS MORE MONEY??? You're joking..right?...RIGHT???
I understand how juvenile this sounds, but is the logo, especially considering its placement in front of the character, striking anyone else as a bit phallic?
Most likely this game will play awesome but there's something about the art direction that I'm not liking. It looks kinda soulless at this point.
I have seen better level design on free web browser games
No wonder some companies like to hide their games until they're practically completed. People treat sneak peaks of games early in their development cycle like they're indicative of the finished product.
I'm really looking forward to this.
Some real big losers on this board, not name any names but, let's just say they're losers...
Who wrote this game is out next week? Not even in japan it's not releasing yet. 2015
Phew, I gotta agree the level design is booorrring. Bionic Commando Rearmed (the 2.5d remake) looked more interesting than this. And that was like 5 years ago. I'll pass.
@Ralizah The level design complaints appear to be valid regardless of dev time. Animations may get tweaked or enemy placement swapped, but the skeleton of the levels probably won't change that much if they already have them textured and polished... Run, jump over box... climb ladder... jump over box. Snore.
@Linkuini Nope, me too
Game looks fun to me and it's only going to get better. Definitely getting this the day it releases.
Well, my exitement for it is also more or less gone. It looks great, dont get me wrong, but for something so "megaman-ish" it should excite me way more than it does.
And to be honest, i get my MegaMan fix from him being featured in Smash Bros at the moment.
Ill definitly get it sooner or later, but at this point, i highly doubt that it will have priority over other releases at that time.
@WaveBoy
Guess with no internet it wasn't as easy finding things back then.
I'm looking forward to it but I sincerely hope this second crowd funding fails miserably. Sometimes crowdfunding is the right thing to do. Sometimes companies are just taking the piss. Like Double Fine having a second campaign because they spent all the money. That's just not acceptable and sometimes it's important for people to fail.
@WaveBoy I watched alot of TV and never saw any adverts for Mega Man toys as a kid. Granted this was back in 1990 when Saved By the Bell was watched by millions every day at 4pm, Nolan Ryan was still throwing No Hitters and we were just sending troops to Desert Storm
I don't understand why some peoples hype is dying. I think it looks great considering the amount of time they have until release. The second campaign is stupid though they must have enough money for voice acting. We gave so much so if they use some of their own money they should definitely be able to afford this.
