MMPU and Maverick Hunter X Back in Stock at Capcom Shop

Get 'em while you can! If you're a late adopter of the PSP, perhaps of the newer, more slimlined model, you might not have gotten around to picking up such treasures as Mega Man Powered Up and Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X. Of course, if that's the case, we would ask...

Another Gigamix Sample

Inti Creates has put up another sample for ZX Gigamix, the Battle Giga Mixture track. Sounds a little like Devo. There's another update planned for next week, but by that point the album should be released.

Just what is a sound sketch?

Haha, but seriously

A few days ago on a little something called April Fools, Inti Creates advertised an upcoming product known as the Rockman ZX Soundsketch: ZX Gigamix. Pricing it at three billion yen, they were clearly trying to take advantage of the weak US dollar. But today Gigamix...

Crisis Averted!

Mega Man Star Force 2 Announced

In a online press event, Capcom Digital Day, Capcom announced the coming of the Western adaption of Ryuusei no Rockman 2 - Mega Man Star Force 2: Zerker x Saurian and Zerker x Ninja. I guess terms like Berserk and Dinosaur didn't have enough street cred. The game's...
