Reward Update: Or “How Golden Beck Got His Groove Back”

I hope have your dancing shoes ready, Mighties!

 

We’re showing off all kinds of goodies today, including a bit of random news about the ending theme, and a look at the exclusive Golden Beck skin! The team and community also bids farewell to a member of the Mighty team. Finally, we end things with a short notice regarding the Mighty updates going forward.


A MEGA RAN WITH A MEGA PLAN

 

For today’s update, we have some really cool news regarding the ending theme for Mighty No. 9. You’ve all known that the ending credits for Mighty No. 9 will be a special one, as it contains not only a backer staff roll, but voices from a select few of our Mighties. We’ve been dying to tell you guys this for a while now, but we’re actually teaming up with the amazing Mega Ran, aka Random to make the ending even more special!!

 

 

This nerdcore, chiptune rap superstar has been taking the world by storm with his unique musical stylings, and we’re excited to have him back up the Mighty team. But really, what can we say about him that this snippet from Mighty No. 9’s ending theme can’t say better? Go on, you know you want to!


 

As if that’s not amazing enough, Mega Ran’s new album RNDM drops the same day as Mighty No. 9!

 

 

Check out Mega Rans’ new website for even more of his amazing talent (including a new piece of the album every week!).


OUR GOLDEN BOY

 

A lot of our beckers have been waiting for a long while to get a sneak peek at Golden Beck!
Now we are finally ready to reveal him, in all his blingin’ glory!

 

Well, how do you like this swank new Beck!?

 

 

All that glitters is gold, but Dr. White doesn’t even notice!! WHY!?

 

Even though he’s the same under the hood, everything just feels fancier with his new paint job!
 

Even his finisher is blinged out to the max!

 

This aesthetic change basically adds up to a fresh coat of paint, but everything just feels more fun and stylish! I hope the Beckers entitled to this reward look forward to him even more now that they have seen the end result for themselves!


A MIGHTY MOVING ON

 

 

Jon: Hey Mighties, reward manager Jon here! The past two years on the Mighty No. 9 project have been a wild ride, but it’s time for me to hit the old dusty trail.

 

I’m not great with goodbyes, but it’s been a pleasure being a part of this community. From the first day of the Kickstarter, to visiting fans in Bahrain and Texas, celebrating Mighty Month last year, talking with Beckers to get their voices, designs, ideas and feedback in the game… I don’t think I’ll ever see anything like this again. And not only the Beckers; working with the Mighty team has been a huge inspiration to me. I hope I possess half of the flexibility, perseverance and drive of this crew with a few more years in the industry under my belt.

 

I’ll be keeping tabs on things as the project moves forward, and look forward to all of the rewards arriving in the right hands. My own included, actually… a sizeable chunk of my first paycheck went into the Kickstarter, so you can say I’ve been invested in seeing all of the rewards come together (invested? Get it?).

 

Thanks for everything, guys!


MIGHTY UPDATE FREQUENCY

 

So, now that development is winding down on Mighty No. 9, the team at comcept has decided to cut down on updates a tad. From July onwards, we’ll be changing from the usual three updates a month to two (say goodbye to the 19th update, basically). These updates will still be full of the same Mighty goodness, so keep your eyes peeled for what we’ve got in store!

 

That’s it for this time, Mighties! Let us know what you think of Mega Ran and Golden Beck in the comments, on the Mighty forums, Facebook and Twitter!

 

Until next time, Mighties!(`_´)ゞ

What?! What's... with... the.

What?! What's... with... the... RAP music?! And not even the "So bad, it's good" type! ...WHY!?
If Golden Beck didn't look so nice, I'd quickly declare this the worst update by a longshot. But he does. So kudos to that,
But, still, WHY SUCH BAD RAP MUSIC?! WHY!?


...why?

Well Golden Beck looks like

Well Golden Beck looks like crap so this was the worse update yet. They colored his freaking whites of his eyes gold for god sakes. It honestly looks like they just went into photoshop, and used the colorize option and moved the dial to yellow. Its complete crap. His skin, whites of his eyes, and eye color should not be gold. Also even if those were fixed, the armor is still ugly. Looking at how awesome a lot of the armors from MMX series were, this is really the best you could come up with?

Yup, it's so bad it's bad.

Yup, it's so bad it's bad.
Unless there was a ghetto level in the game with this music in it, which well, i'd rather not have that anyway...
But see, in the ending, it's still bad because after you beat the game, that's going to be your reward. ILL NEVER want to beat it again. Imagine how stupid it will be getting to the final boss and giving up there because I don't want to have to listen to the rap. OR I hope it's skippable.

It's unusual to have a rap

It's unusual to have a rap song in a game like this I'll give you that but I think the track sounds hot. Besides its only the ending theme which means you won't be hearing it till you beat it.

Really???

I hate to sound like a nay sayer but rap in Mighty No. 9??? Please no, I can't stand rap and that'll ruined the experience for me. Also has backers been getting email updates lately? I haven't got any in a long time and was wondering what the problem was.

Sounds like you've judged an

Sounds like you've judged an entire genre of music there without giving it much thought.

Also this is Nerdcore, not Rap. It's rooted from Rap, but Nerdcore mixes Rap, Hip Hop and R&B to create music with heavy geek overtones. It was a phenominon started mostly by MC Frontalot and has artists such as MC Chris (One of the primary minds behind Adult Swim in the late 90s to mid 2000s) in it's ranks.

And yes, backers have been getting e-mail updates, they're sent via Kickstarter so you may wanna check your Kickstarter settings. You can also view them all via the kickstarter page.
