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...

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...

Not a lot of particular interest came out of the 2008 Tokyo Game Show where Mega Man, or as the hometown calls him, Rockman is concerned. However, the man behind the Man did show up for a special appearance on Friday to talk about a few things regarding the franchise....

For those who still want more Ryuusei no Rockman 3/MegaMan Star Force 3 from the Tokyo Game Show, good news! GameTrailers has added a nearly three minute trailer which helps establish the setting and other elements of the new title, including Noise Changes. Better...
