Chip Tuned Rockman: A Review, Samples and… Pontification

When Chip Tuned Rockman was first announced by Inti Creates, I was pretty amazed. It’s by far the most unique Rockman album that Inti Creates has come up with yet, and being a lover of 80s and early 90s video game music, I was excited about the style it was going for. Having been able […]

Get A-“Head” Up on Cold Weather with a Servbot Winter Hat

It’s almost October, and it won’t be long before the fury of Winter is raining down upon us like Ice Man with a sneezing fit. So what better way to prepare your fleshy noggin for the cold days ahead than with a cold-weather cap fashioned in the appearance of those lovable Bonne foot-soldiers, the Servbots? […]

Mega Man’s Worst 2s

Running on nearly 22 years now, there are a lot of Mega Man games out there. A lot are good, some are legendary, and some just kind of stink. However, there is an unwritten rule, so to speak, that Mega Man gets better the second time around. The most obvious of these examples is Mega […]

The Unseen MegaMen of Legends 2

If you’ve played the MegaMan Legends series, you know that MegaMan Volnutt isn’t the only MegaMan around. There was MegaMan Juno, who ended up being the primary enemy of the first title. Furthermore, we find out that the titular MegaMan had originally assumed the identity MegaMan Trigger. (Don’t gripe to me about spoilers, you guys […]

Inafune’s New Mega Man

As we’re all no doubt aware by now, Capcom Head of Research & Development and Online Business, to say nothing of the Man behind Mega Man, Keiji Inafune, seems to have become quite fed-up with the Japanese gaming industry. Recently, he’s even been seen hanging out with Halo developer Bungie Studios to pick up a […]

Game Center CX Vs. Rockman: The End of Arino!?

As I’ve mentioned before, Game Center CX is one of my favorite television shows about games. Starring Shin’ya Arino, a Japanese comedic personality, who does various game related segments such as talking to game developers and visiting game centers. But the most popular segment, which became the focus of the show, is Arino’s Challenge, which […]

Inafune: “Japan’s Game Industry is Finished”

It appears that this year’s Tokyo Game Show did very little to win over Capcom’s Head of Research & Development and Online Business, Keiji Inafune. During the following video, he asks the crowd in attendance what they thought of the show this year. “Be honest, ” he says. “Did it suck, or was it great […]

Mega Man Makes GoNintendo & GameDaily’s Top 10 NES Games

GoNintendo and GameDaily have rallied their collective might to look back upon the nearly 800-strong library of the Nintendo Entertainment System and select but a mere ten titles to be the best. And it seems their list is causing some controversy; after all, Duck Hunt is #10. Now, I love Duck Hunt, but there are […]
