Are Mario, Link, Sonic, and the Belmonts’ Best Days Behind Them?
I have some bad news, people. It's been staring us all right in the face for years, and it's time to come to terms with it. Your favorite game series? The ones where you eagerly wait weeks and months after preordering, the ones where you squeal when you read the announcements, the ones that have a nearly religious significance to you and helped shape your upbringing? They won't ever be as good as they were. The best chapters in those series are long gone, and all we have left is empty hope and nostalgia. Yes, there will still be competent, very good, and even downright excellent games in your favorite series, and they'll keep coming. Unfortunately, the absolute best games have come, gone, and been played to death years ago. Most Nintendo series fans are aware of this. Every Sonic fan is painfully aware of this. It's time to come to terms.
Read on, pick out your favorite game series, and strap on your nostalgia goggles. We're gonna go in.
Mega Man Legends 3 Coming To The 3DS
You read that right. You're not dreaming. It's not a prank. Mega Man Legends 3 is official, and it's coming to the Nintendo 3DS. The news was just posted on the Capcom Unity site [via The Mega Man Network], and it says clear as day that a decade after the last Mega Man Legends game was published, the series will finally be getting a new chapter.
Top 15 games that still aren’t on the Virtual Console yet
When Nintendo first announced the Virtual Console, it seemed like a brilliant idea. The company would re-release the greatest games on its 8-, 16-, and 64-bit systems for download, letting us rebuild our childhood gaming libraries on a single memory card and play all of our favorite old-school games on the Wii. Every week would see a handful of classic games released on the Virtual Console, ready for download.
Four years later, the Virtual Console offers over 360 games (in North America) from the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Sega Genesis, Turbografix-16, Neo Geo, and even the Sega Master System and Commodore 64. It sounds like a lot, until you realize the NES and SNES had over 700 games each.
The Virtual Console still has a lot of big holes in its library, and it looks like Nintendo isn't trying very hard to fill them. These days we're lucky to see one game come out on the VC per week, and that game can range from the obscure and uninteresting (this week's Ufouria: THe Saga) to the vaguely fun but pales in comparison to other titles (Aero the Acrobat).
Here are the 15 most notable games missing from the Wii Virtual Console.
Mega-Hi! Capcom reveals MegaMan Universe with a nostalgialicious trailer
I would be much obliged if someone would explain what this even means?
At first suspected to be the working title for a MegaMan MMOG, new details have revealed that Capcom's MegaMan Universe to be a downloadable title destined for PSN and XBLA. It is unknown what the gameplay style will be, nor whether the inclusions of non MegaMan characters such as Ryu and Arthur in the trailer have any significance. No further details are known at this time.
