Did you ever think while looking upon the 9th Mighty Robot, Beck, that he’d be good at killing zombies? Or that the Megaman–esque robot would appear in a Ninja Gaiden game, of all things? Nope, me neither, but I’m totally stoked to see it happening!
Through downloadable content, Mighty No. 9‘s star and Keiji Inafune’s Megaman successor will be one of three currently planned costumes for the undead ninja, Yaiba. At this moment, though, it’s not clear whether Beck’s costume will be available outside of Japan.
If you’ve played the Dead Rising games, then you may know this won’t be Inafune’s first foray of sharing a super powered robot in bloody action titles. A Megaman costume was available in the first two Dead Rising games and a Protoman one was in Dead Rising 2: Off The Record.
Yaiba: Ninja Gaiden Z is a gory hack ‘n slash title coming to the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC developed by Team Ninja and Spark Unlimited, releasing in March 2014. Mighty No. 9 is being developed by Comcept and is scheduled to release in 2015 for the PS3, PS4, PSVita, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and 3DS.
