Mighty No. 9, the sidescrolling platformer from Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune, has opened a second funding campaign with the purpose of delivering English voice acting to the project, due to release in 2015.
Mighty No. 9 already has raked in $4 million from last year's Kickstarter, exhausting all stretch goals in the process. Inafune says that anything collected in the new funding round will be put toward new features, and that the second round is meant to give those who missed the original Kickstarter a chance to contribute to the project still.
This round of funding is being conducted through PayPal. Additional stretch goals are anticipated but not yet named.
Also, as promised, Mighty No. 9 will deliver an animated cinematic series. Comcept, the developing studio, released that teaser trailer above yesterday. It is being produced by Tokyo-based Digital Frontier, which unveiled the trailer at Anime Expo in Los Angeles.
Mighty No. 9 is slated for a Spring 2015 release on PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Linux, Mac, Windows PC, PlayStation Vita and Nintendo 3DS. For more on the game, see Polygon's interview with Inafune from September.

Comcept founder and former Mega Man producer Keiji Inafune has announced another crowdfunding campaign for Might No. 9, the action platformer successfully Kickstrarted last year with $3,845,170.
Inafune and a post to Comcept’s website explains that the additional funding will be used for additional, bonus content and features, not the main game. The first and only stretch goal listed on Comcept’s website is full English voice acting, which the developer will add if it raises $100,000.
“We formed this plan as a result of all of the slacker backers that contacted us after the Kickstarter campaign looking to contribute,” Comcept said on the game’s website. “But let’s make this crystal clear: this new funding campaign is for bonus content in the Mighty No. 9 video game... Any new funding will NOT go towards existing content in the current state of the game, but bonus content to be implemented into the title.”
You can fund the project by pre-ordering the “Funding” tier copies of the game via PayPal on its website. $50 will get you the final game and some “digital rewards” like a retro manual, art book, and more, and $80 will get you Steam Early Access as well. You can also just pre-order the game now for as low as $23 without contributing to the new crowdfunding effort.
Unrelated to the new funding campaign, Comcept also announced at the 2014 Anime Expo in Los Angeles yesterday that it’s partnering with Japanese animation company Digital Frontier to produce the Mighty No. 9: The Animated TV Series.
Much like the game, the series will focus on protagonist Beck, a transforming robot made to fight in a combat robot league as part of the “mighty numbers.” Comcept said the target audience for the show are kids 6-11, but that it hopes older fans will enjoy it as well.
Digital Frontier has worked on movies based on games like Resident Evil: Damnation, as well as motion capture for games like Metal Gear Rising: Revengence.
None of the money Comcept is raising will be used for the animated series.
“I want to give all of you more and more of the project that is Mighty No. 9,” Inafune said. “In order to do that, I’d like to ask for more of your strength to borrow your power to make more and more fantastic content. Needless to say this includes work on the game itself; we want to expand outside the game medium in a way that connects back to the game itself, ultimately enhancing all of the content.”

Para bem ou para mal, ele se tornou uma das faces da franquia e foi por muito tempo um dos grandes nomes da Capcom. Pois bem, a isca troll funcionou, agora aguenta.
Já que ninguêm se presta a LER a porra das notícias, segue o link e os meus resumos logo abaixo.
Segue abaixo link com o anúncio da situação:

Vídeo do Inafune falando sobre o tal "segundo crowdfunding"
O trailer da série animada (animação besta, mas bonitinha. eu mostraria para a pirralhada da família sem muito medo)
e abaixo um FAQ sobre o crowdfunding:
http://mightyno9.com/en/faq5
Resumindo:
- O que foi prometido vai ser cumprido com a grana arrecadada, esse segundo crowdfunding é para atingir outros objetivos pedidos e que não tinham sido contemplados antes. O primeiro desses é uma dublagem americana, o resto se decidirá conforme a demanda
- Existem ALGUMAS recompensas além do jogo para quem contribuir agora: artbooks digitais e coisas do tipo, mas a maioria das recompensas é exclusiva de quem participou do kickstarter. Privilégio de quem ajudou desde o começo
- O dinheiro não vai ser usado para a animação. a Digital Frontier pediu para fazer a animação, eles vão correr atrás do patrocínio e eles vão se virar com a série. a Comcept e a IntiCreates só cederam os direitos de imagem do personagem e vão auxiliar dando detalhes do mundo e personagens. nem um centavo do projeto vai ser usado fora dele.
Não acho que os anúncios sejam uma infeliz coincidência, e sim cagada do Inafune de não esperar antes de mostrar tudo que tinha na manga.
- Essa "novo crowdfunding" aparentemente só vai funcionar com pacotes fechados: você compra uma cópia do jogo, cópia+artbook digital, Guia estilizado como os antigos manuais da era 8/16 bits e OST ou as duas coisas e acesso ao beta fechado no steam. Não vai ter mais "quero pagar cinco reais pra fazer caridade, nem quero recompensa). você paga, você ganha algo em troca.
Curiosamente, até o co-fundador da Renegade Kid (criadora da série Dementium no DS), postou uma clarificação e um pedido de desculpas por presumir coisas erradas sem ler as informações disponíveis.
