The biggest Mega Man-related news of the moment has to be, without question, the Blue Bomber’s appearance in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U. And with a free demo of the former just a day away, the internet, she is a-buzzin’.

So much news to write about, and so little time– what’s one to do? Call in the Ripot-man, of course!

In case you haven’t heard, Japan now has a demo version of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS available, and what’s more, Mega Man is among the five characters available to play.

We hope you haven’t had your fill of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS goodness after the commercials we posted a few days ago; as it turns out, there is yet another, and it features some cool visuals, too!

With less than a week to go before the Japanese release of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo has begun releasing some commercials in its homeland for the upcoming handheld debut of the mascot melee.

Wow, there is just so much to talk about in terms of new, recent, and upcoming releases of vintage Mega Man games, rounding it up in one place just seemed like the right thing to do.

p>Thanks to the fine folks at Inti Creates and 8-4 Ltd., The Mega Man Network has been able to play through and dissect much of what could be called the first post-Capcom Mega Man game–Mega Man without Mega Man, as it were. But defining Azure Striker Gunvolt in that way would do an injustice to one of the best platformers of this generation.

Six days and over 180 comments later, one has been chosen…

As of August 20th, 2014, Azure Striker Gunvolt has just been released in Japan. However, the fine folks at 8-4 and Inti Creates have been courteous enough to not only allow us to give you an idea of what’s to come in North America on the 29th, but something more as well.

As you might have noticed, we have a section for news separate from the usual Mega Man fun here called “Mega Man-esque,” for games and such which fall in the spirit of Mega Man, but aren’t actually Mega Man. And let us tell you, they don’t get much more “Mega Man-esque” than this!

>Today, Inti Creates announced that Azure Striker Gunvolt, the spiritual sequel to their Mega Man Zero and ZX games, will be released on Friday, August 29th in North America and cost $14.99 on the Nintendo 3DS.

Pretty much just what the title says.
