Former Capcom producer Keiji Inafune had a surprise for PAX Prime attendees at this year's event. The Mega Man creator announced that the Mighty No. 9 beta was ready to launch for anyone that backed the game's Kickstarter. Those that gave money to the campaign should check their e-mail now for a downloadable Steam key.

The beta is meant to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the game's original announcement. At the moment, it's only a single level, with the possibility of additional levels coming later. The beta is only available to Kickstarter backers and to the PAX attendees that attended the game's panel, though there's a possibility that it could hit Steam Early Access in the future.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
