Development Update: Meet the Mighty Cast!

April showers bring May flowers, Mighties,

 

And what better analogy do we have for Mighty No. 9’s development cycle? We know all of you are itching to get your hands on the finished product, and we can’t wait to give it to you! With our radio silence on the release date front, some of you may be wondering how things are faring in the Mighty camp?

 

We promise we’ll have more to tell soon enough, loyal Beckers! In the meantime we’ve got something to sate your curiosity: A look at the English voice cast of Mighty No. 9 and a in-game peek at the fruits of their labors!


MEET THE MIGHTY CAST PT. 1

 

For the first introduction to our vocal cast, we’ve got a few sound bytes from Beck himself, Mighty No. 1 Pyrogen, No. 2 Cryosphere and No. 3 Dynatron! There’s even a few clips that don’t appear in the game, so give it a good listen!


 

Of course there’s more to come, so stay tuned!


ABOUT FACE, FORWARD MARCH!

 

Jon: Hi, everyone! We love getting feedback from our Mighty Beckers, and try our best to implement it wherever we can! Sometimes it’s easier said than done, of course, and even when we can it takes a bit of time to execute...

 

That being said, a month ago more than a few of you expressed concern about the Face in the Game backer reward clashing with the in-game world setting. We heard you, Mighties, and got a little help from our resident artists to put a Mighty spin on the backer portraits.

 

 

Here are the portraits from our early March update. A month and some Mighty feedback later…

 

 

Voila! Here they are again in their final incarnations!

 

We can’t always fulfill every request we get from the Beckers, but that’s why we’re ecstatic every time we get the chance to do so. We hope you enjoy the update, too!

 

That’s all for now, Mighties, but let us know your feelings on the voice work and updated backer reward in the comments below, on the forums, and on our official Facebook and Twitter accounts!

 

Keep the faith, Mighties!(｀_´)ゞ

- Dina (Mighty No. 1046), Jon (Mighty No. 281) and the Mighty No. 9 Team

Thanks for voting English voice acting...
Now this game is ruined by absolutely disgusting and skilless voices.
Dynatron sounds so retarded, it's ridiculous.

Wow, im really pissed.

just there were americans who voted for the game to be dubbed in Japanese, there were many Japanese who voted for the game to be dubbed in English, and for the exact same reasons, as many think that english voice acting is better.

Digging the portraits

I'm glad you went with a more "integrated" approach to the backer photos. It's a bit more reminiscent of the incredibly cool way Shovel Knight managed their own portraits (in pixelated form to match the game).

Voice ain't bad and they bosses really match the way they look (though I hope Cryo isn't a blabbermouth or she'll get annoying real quick).

I'm a little torn on the voices, but I'll wait to hear them in the game.  Without the sound effects and music, it's hard to really envision them as those characters. 

THANK YOU for fixing the paintings.  I had thought they looked weird but didn't think to say anything.  I'm glad some people said something about that!

I'm not sure about the voices....reminds me of Megaman 8...not bad...but here sounds like a cartoon game for children....I'd prefered aJapanese version instead .-.

Considering most of the backers are probably adults BECAUSE YOU CANT BACK ANYTHING ON KS UNLESS YOU ARE.

No, not really.

The voice work, while not exactly bad, reminds me of those super cheap looking cartoons for toddlers.... I guess what I mean is that  they all sound super childish.

Mighty No. 60187 Metazoxan Fri, 2015-04-10 21:11.

I think that you're mostly getting that impression from the cheesy pun filled dialouge. The voices themselves are pretty fitting to the character types and bodies and they seem fairly well done too. Sure it might not be PERFECT but it's good enough.

I agree, the English is decent :)

Still would have liked to hear them in Japanese as well ;)

Yeah i've been wanting to hear the Japanese version's for a long time now! and it seem's like there is no word on it? Broken heart

Don't you remember? We didn't

Mighty No. 60187 Metazoxan Fri, 2015-04-10 21:04.

Don't you remember? We didn't actually reach the voice acting stretch goal but adding together a few extra funds we got half way which meant enough for either English or Japanese voice acting so they let the backers vote and English won. So there is not any Japanese voice acting at all.

and english voice acting

Mighty No. 50546 Keiichimorisato98 Fri, 2015-04-10 21:28.

and english voice acting BARELY won out in the end, i am pretty sure that there were a lot of Japanese fans who wanted English voice acting, just like how there were a lot of westerners who wanted Japanese voice acting.
