Showcased in a video published via YouTube on Tuesday, July 22, new gameplay footage has been released for the Mega Man spiritual successor, Mighty No. 9 , which shows off the game’s characters climbing, blasting and zooming around on a 2D plain.
The gameplay footage itself shows off the game’s main character, Beck, moving around and blasting enemies in a typical 2D platformer fashion. As well as showing off his dash ability, the footage also shows Beck changing between a selection of suits, with each suggested to have their own abilities and movesets.
The footage also shows off a couple Mighty No. 9’s bosses, and includes the game’s female character, named Call.
We’ve established that Mighty No. 9 will be receiving its own animated series , which was revealed among other announcements during this year’s Anime Expo in Los Angeles.
Mighty No. 9 was successfully Kickstarted back in September, 2013, but by October the crowdfunding campaign had its original $900,000 goal smashed with a total tally of just about a whopping $4 million.
Mighty No. 9 is slated to release worldwide in April, 2015 for PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita.
