Famitsu Scores RnR3
Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu has weighed in with their score, ranking it 32/40 (all four scorers marked it 8). This is the same score both the first and second entries in the series received. Considering the second didn't wow me as much as the first, I'm wondering...
Ryuusei no Rockman 3 CM
Gamekyo has a nice quality version of the commercial spot for Ryuusei no Rockman 3. It features animation by Production IG and the theme song is "stellar" by Japanese rock band KCB. Enjoy it, because if they ever advertise it here, it's "because he's blue!" News...
Mega Man 9: No Mavericks Allowed
No, this has nothing to do with the election. Rather, it involves a strange bit of, ah, censorship in Mega Man 9. When one enters their name, it seems there is a filtering system in place to prevent colorful language and terms from being used. However, there's one...

One More Mystery in Mega Man 9

Mega Man 9 Contest Double Feature
Our first Mega Man 9 contest went so well, we're having another! Two, in fact! The prizes this time, however, are not a copy of the game itself, as in one case, that would simply be redundant. Instead, the most hardcore among you will get the chance to win Mega Man 9...
