Mighty No- 9
Wanted: Your Questions for Inafune
Wow, it feels like only yesterday that we were last asking for your questions for Keiji Inafune (the results of which, if you missed them, are right here). But now it’s that time again, though it’s admittedly not for our own interview.
A Conversation with Keiji Inafune
Recently, the Mighty No. 9 Kickstarter page posted an interview with Keiji Inafune and 2 Player Productions
covering topics related to the campaign and the game in general. This
interview took place a month before the Kickstarter went live, so it
will be interesting to see what his thoughts were before seeing the fan
reactions.
For those of you
who do not have time to watch the video, we have transcribed the
interview below. However, we do encourage you to watch the original
video. It’s much more interesting when you see the expression on
Inafune’s face, and the tone of his voice. It really gives you a
different experience that text alone can’t supply.
Mighty No. 9-Bit?
Okay, so 9-Bit isn’t really a thing… yet. Truth be told, we aren’t really sure what Comcept had in mind when they announced
the stretch goal for an optional “retro-style chiptune soundtrack” and
accompanying effects, whether it be 8-bit, 16-bit, or something else,
but it looks like we’ll get to find out!
