Mighty No. 9: live action movie announced, gameplay footage

On Tuesday, comcept made a rather surprising announcement: Mighty No. 9 is getting a feature-length live action movie, courtesy of Legendary Digital Media and Contradiction Films (who distributed and produced the Dead Rising movie, respectively), for digital distribution platforms. This come on top of the anime series, which is also in production.

Here’s what Keiji Inafune (CEO of Comcept, and mastermind behind the Mighty No. 9 project) had to say about this live-action movie:

“The announcement that Legendary Digital is collaborating with Contradiction and comcept on creating a live action project based on Mighty No. 9 is really amazing, not only for myself and the rest of the team at Comcept who worked on the game, but also for all the fans who have supported the project. This collaboration will give our creation the ability to reach people all over the world. Thanks to all of your support, we have fulfilled another one of our dreams,”

Unfortunately, we don’t quite know when this movie will come out, but no doubt we should more about it in the upcoming weeks/months.

In the mean time, here’s a Hands-on impressions video from Eurogamer for Mighty No. 9:

Mighty No. 9 (Wii U) comes out on September 15th in North America, and September 18th in Europe. The Nintendo 3DS version will come out at a later date.
