Mega Man creator starts Kickstarter campaign for Mighty No. 9, gets almost 70% in under 24 hours

Kickstarter has been home to some really big campaigns for everything from movies, music, gadgets, consoles, and games. Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune wants in on the action to create Mighty No. 9, a side-scrolling action PC game seemingly inspired by Mega Man and will be created by an “all-star team of veteran Mega Man devs.” Developer Comcept seeks $900,000 and they reached $620,000 from over 10,000 backers in less than 24 hours since the project went live. The project currently has 11,800 plus backers and over $695,000 worth of pledges.

If you have your own million-dollar idea, Kickstarter has recently entered Canada. It’s just waiting for you to get in on the action, too.

No word yet if these features are going to be available on their Android app.

Digg for Android is here!

Looks like the team behind Digg are no longer going to be called “lazy idiots” with the official arrival of the Digg app for Android. It allows you to log into Digg Reader; go through Digg’s Top Stories; and Digg, save, and share any story. However, you can’t comment on stories.

A few missing features—such as “Show Only Unread Items;” view, text size, and display mode options; and background updating—are said to be making its appearance soon.
