What Would it Sound Like if Wily’s Castle Were in Jamaica?

We’ve been getting a lot of interesting genre albums of classic Famicom music lately. First that was Zoku Fami Compi with its house style arrangements. Then sound got loud with the Japan release of Powerglove’s Video Game Metal. But recently things have mellowed again, with the release of Tariki Echo’s Fami Reggae. As you would […]

Rockman 2 Slated for JP 3DS Virtual Console, More to Come?

Pretty much hot off the heels of the original Rockman coming out on Japan’s 3DS eShop last month, Rockman 2 is now joining it on the 8th of this month for ¥500. I’ll admit I was hoping for a 3D Classics with this one, but for arguably the greatest Mega Man title made, I’ll still […]

Rockman 2 on PSN this Week, Rockman 4 in Japan the Next

The PlayStation Network is getting a little richer in Rockman this week (may be today even, if my knowledge of update schedules is right). Following the original Rockman, you can download the Complete Works version of Rockman 2 on your PlayStation 3. Remember that these are under the import classics line, and that all the […]
