Mighty No. 9 releases mighty-fine official trailer, signature edition, and Cross-Buy

By Kris Wouk Published June 4, 2015

In April we reported that Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune’s Mighty No. 9, a Kickstarter success, would finally be released in September. With the release only a few short months away, developer Comcept and publisher Deep Silver have now presented an official trailer for the game.

We’ve seen plenty of footage for Mighty No. 9 so far, but this marks the first time that an actual trailer has been cut together for the game. The trailer shows the game’s hero Beck, as well of the members of the titular group of enemies he’s tasked with taking down. The kicker? The trailer takes advantage of YouTube’s 60 FPS support.

In addition to the trailer, Deep Silver also announced an “extremely limited” collector’s edition, titled Mighty No. 9: Signature Edition. This version includes a numbered 6.5-inch statue of Beck with 14 points of articulation and a foil signature of Keiji Inafune on the box. The price for this edition will be the cost of a standard retail game at $60.

Mighty No. 9 will be released in the U.S. on September 15, and it will see release in the rest of the world on September 18. While the game was initially only announced for the PC, support for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii U was added later. After that more platforms were added: the PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, Xbox One, and Mac and Linux computers.

The game will be available via digital download for every platform, but thanks to Comcept’s partnership with Deep Silver, retail versions of the game will be available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Wii U. It was announced yesterday that Cross-Buy will be supported between the PS4, PS3, and Vita, so if you’re a major PlayStation fan, this is sure to be easier on your wallet.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4’s Stranded mission had me hooked for hours, yet left me wanting more

I spent hours sneaking through North Korea, scavenging supplies, and clearing outposts, and I’d happily do it all again.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Stranded mission gameplay

For years, Call of Duty’s campaign mode has used big, scripted set pieces to tell the overarching story amid all the adrenaline-pumping action. The 2023 Modern Warfare 3 tried to shake up the established formula by introducing a handful of short open combat missions, and I genuinely liked the idea, but the game's overall negative reception seeped into how those missions were received.

I feared the next iteration might abandon the idea because of the backlash, but I am glad it didn't. MW4’s “Stranded” mission uses the same approach, but instead of fragmenting it across the campaign, it puts it all in a single large-scale open-world mission.

The $1300 Acer Predator Atlas 8 handheld is finally US-bound, and its pre-orders are already sold out

Acer’s first gaming handheld to launch in the US arrives November 1 with Intel Arc G3 Extreme hardware.

Intel Arc G3 Extreme Hands On with Acer Predator Atlas 8

Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.

Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
