20 Crowdfunded Video Games That Made Millions

5. Mighty Number 9 - $4 million

You may not be familiar with the name, but for anyone who has ever played Mega Man, you'll recognise the similar gameplay and characters in Mighty Number 9. The game's Kickstarter minimum goal of $900,000 was reached after only two days, with the final total standing at over $4 million. The 2D platformer was created with heavy input from the public, which was a major factor in helping it gain extra funds. Since the game's initial Kickstarter finished, there have been smaller crowdfunding campaigns to give it full English voice-overs and some extra DLC.
