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.

The best Zelda dungeons, ranked

Link and Zelda under Hyrule Castle in "The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom."

There are a lot of metrics I could use to rank the best Zelda games. I could talk about the best Zelda bosses, the worlds, items, and more, but I believe the dungeons are the biggest individual factor in deciding how each game stacks up to the others. These are the meat of every Zelda game. All the combat and puzzle solving happens here, and the excitement of exploring each one is what pushes us to want to explore these worlds. The boss is the icing on the cake, but a good dungeon can be the highlight of the entire game. Looking back at all Zelda games, I have made some tough calls to bring you a list of the best Zelda dungeons, ranked.

We need to start having real conversations about AI in gaming

Copilot Quake II game.

AI has become a dirty word across almost every discipline over the past few years. As big corporations keep pushing this technology forward, a vocal resistance among creatives, critics, and passionate communities has risen up in opposition. While every creative medium is at risk of AI influence now, gamers are particularly sensitive about this technology sucking the creativity and human element from our beloved medium. Even the mere mention of AI being used in game development triggers a massive backlash, but we need to start being more nuanced in how we talk about the ways AI should and should not be used. Because, like it or not, AI is going to become more ubiquitous in gaming. We can't keep talking about AI as though it is a black-and-white thing. It is a tool, and like any tool, there are ways it can be used appropriately.

The question we need to ask ourselves now is, when is it ethical to use and what crosses the line?

Mecha Break is the closest I’ve felt to piloting a real Gundam outside Japan

Key art for Mecha Break.

In 2015, in a mostly-empty arcade in Fukuoka, I slid into the pilot seat of a Gundam.

I pulled the door down, watching as it seamlessly merged with the rest of the wall and turned into a display of my surroundings. As I pulled the earpiece down, the radio crackled to life as other pilots greeted me through comms.
