For those of you in Japan…

While cruising the Japanese PlayStation Store from my PS3 earlier, I noticed a curious advertisement about the forthcoming release of Rockman 9... More about this after the jump. It seems there's some sort of "present campaign" as the banner indicates.  It's for a...

A sign of Mega Man Legends 3? *Updated*

File this one under curiously hopeful. Gaming news site N4G has listings for Mega Man Legends 3 under both PlayStation 3 and XBox 360. I'm not much a traverser of N4G myself so I'm not sure how these things pan out there, but then again recall how Mega Man 9 began...

Korea Get Mugged by Servbots

It's usually Japan who gets all the fun stuff, but not this time. Now, we can curse Korea for getting the greatest coffee mugs ever: Ironically, as you can see, the Servbot mugs aren't to promote a new Mega Man Legends game, nor even Marvel vs. Capcom 2's impending...
