When Mega Man’s creator, Keiji Inafune, spoke recently at the Game Developer’s Conference, he discussed the need for Japanese video game companies to reinvent the brands that brought them so much success in previous years. While we still do not know what the future will bring, it makes sense at this time to reflect on […]

We accidentally wound up sitting on this story for a bit, and to Undamned, we apologize for that. Nonetheless, “b15sdm” had a Frank West joystick he was trying to sell at the Shouryken.com forums.
