Hasta La Gadget!

Nintendo announced it will be making two very cool looking Nintendo 3DS XLs available in June and July, but not to be outdone, Capcom has announced it won’t be offering its own unique Nintendo 3DS and 3DS XL, but instead, will be producing a case to celebrate the anniversary of one of its most iconic characters.

The case Capcom will be producing is Mega Man-themed and will be available for both the Nintendo 3DS and 3DS XL as a way to continue the blue bomber’s 25th anniversary, which by our records should have ended last year. In any case, the Mega Man case looks to be made of a metallic material and prominently displays an 8-bit Mega Man on the front, while the back has a logo for Mega Man’s 25th anniversary. (more…)

Over the past few years, Guile’s theme, which is a background song for Street Fighter II’s Guile’s stage, has been taking the Internet by storm. It has slowly been injected into a large number of videos to instantly make them a viral sensation due to everyone’s agreement in the track instantly making anything better.

Smooth McGroove recently published his acapella version of the Guile theme, specifically from the Street Fighter II Super Nintendo version, and we think it’s by far one of the best versions of the song that we have heard. McGrove not only accurately belts out each portion of the song with amazing accuracy, but he is even able to match the slight changes in the higher portions of the song which sound like the tune is sliding back and forth.

It was close to a year ago when Capcom, Namco Bandai and SEGA announced they would be teaming up to work on its Project X Zone Nintendo 3DS game. And after several months of development time, publisher Namco Bandai has announced the game will be made available on the 3DS on June 25th in North America.

Project X Zone will star Namco Bandai, SEGA and Capcom characters in a strategy RPG. The inclusion of characters from each developer’s roster is explained the in game’s story, which revolves around a stolen ancient treasure known as the Portalstone. The game’s roster will include stars of such franchise’s as Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, Tekken, Rival Schools and Mega Man X. Yes – we know the majority of these franchises are from Capcom’s stable of titles, but we’re sure we’ll hear about more stars from Namco Bandai and SEGA’s camp when we get closer to Project X Zone’s release date. Until then, keep your Nintendo 3DS fully charged to prepare yourself for the moment this interesting looking mashup RPG game releases.

Capcom’s Remember Me is scheduled to be released on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC on June 7, which means the famous game publisher has a little over two months in order to start putting its marketing power behind its newest IP. Capcom has released a brand-new trailer for Remember Me which shows Nilin doing one of the things she does best in the game: fighting.

The trailer, which is called “It’s Time to Fight,” highlights some of the enemies Nilin will be fighting across Neo-Paris, whose inhabitants are “blissfully ignorant” to the control Memorize has over them as the corporation stores their memories for their own, yet-to-be known reasons. A group known as Errorists will be joining in Nilin’s battle to take down Memorize, which we’re hoping means they can do all of the heavy corporation-toppling work and let Nilin have a nice French dinner somewhere.

One of Capcom’s most iconic classics, Mega Man, is turning 25 years old this year come December. The Mega Man franchise has seen a huge amount of success, with over 40 game variations of the series being created, over 30 million copies of its games being sold, and with several TV shows being created/based off of it. To celebrate its upcoming 25th anniversary, Capcom is looking to give back to the players that helped make the series so successful.

Unfortunately, Capcom didn’t announce a new game being developed for the series, but it did announce several collector’s items that are set to go on sale later this year. One of the collector’s items is a Mega Man USB statue. The statue is 10-inches tall and is powered through USB. The statue is based off the classic version of Mega Man, and will have light-up boosters. Unfortunately, the statue will only be available at the San Diego Comic Con.

Next up is a Mega Man art book. The art book, titled, MM25 Mega Man & Mega Man X Official Complete Works, is a 432-page art book published by Udon Entertainment. It will feature all the character art and designs from the entire Mega Man and Mega Man X series, and some concept art for Mega Man 9 & 10. There will also be developer interviews, and tribute art from Hitoshi Ariga, Toru Nakayam, and Shigeto Ikehara. The book will be released in the second-half of 2013.

Next up is Worlds Collide. Worlds Collide is a crossover comic series that’s a collaboration between Mega Man and Archie’s Sonic the Hedgehog comics. The series will start on April 10th, 2013, and will run for 12 issues and span over 3 story arcs. On May 4th, you will be able to grab a free primer of the comic book series from your local comic book store for “Free Comic Book Day”.

Last, but not least, Capcom will finally be releasing Mega Man Original Soundtracks. There will be 10 Mega Man OSTs released, for Mega Man 1 through 10. The OSTs were available in Japan, but they never found their way to the United States or Europe. The OSTs are set to be released sometime during the summer, but there is no word whether or not it will be sold separately, or in an entire collection.

Capcom has also stated that it has been listening to Mega Man fans all around and that they have been working on something new. They aren’t able to announce something yet because they want to have a product that’s deep into development first. But until then, Mega Man fans can quell their cravings by purchasing the Mega Man 4 remake for the Nintendo 3DS that’s set to come out April 25th. Following Mega Man 4′s re-release is Mega Man 5, which is set to be released on May 16th, and Mega Man 6, which is set to be released sometime around June.
