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

It's really a shame that we are not getting a Japanese dubbing. Hopefully, it'll be something that may be made available in the future. Via DLC perhaps?
Beck sounds like Simon from

I'm a big fan of the voice direction here!
The writing is childish and groanworthy - in the best possible way - where everything is delivered with sincerity and confidence even as they run down the gamut of elemental power-based threats. That's the sort of combination that spawned some of the more quotable cartoon lines of the eighties and nineties.
Dynatron (No. 3's) speech pattern is so well-delivered that something which would read as a forced characteristic actually sounds about as natural as it can get! My hats off to the talent and the direction alike, I look forward to hearing it all in-game.
Good start, but needs a little work.

Wow, sorry for the mouthful, haha. I'm really involved in voice acting, so I want these voices to be as fitting as possible. Sorry if I sounded harsh, but please consider these suggestions!
(Also calm down about the release date everyone, give them time.)
I wonder how the people who

I can't stop laughing at the last part of your comment, well played there hahahaha.
And I agree with you, loving the voices. They're very intersting and crazy, the voice acting really defines the characters. Though, Beck sounds a bit too old to me >.>...and cannot unhear Ben LOL
Leon S. Kennedy as Pyrogen?!
Permalink Mighty No. 28428 Jonathan Goldberg Sat, 2015-04-11 10:42.
Nah but in all seriousness, Matt Mercer was great as Leon in Biohazard Damnation and Biohazard 6, even though Biohazard 6 is a garbage game overall.

Maybe if we get an older Beck at some point Yuri Lowenthal will make him sound like Sasuke. :P
I support the English dub.

Beck's voice is pretty decent in my book. The rest...have personality?...well...I just gotta see how it plays out in the end.

Though I still prefer japanese ones.
