'Shooting Star Rockman 3' TGS Trailer In English

English subtitles that is.

Capcom showed off a "newish" SSR3 trailer at TGS. I say "newish" because it primarily displays stuff we've seen in previous trailers with a few additions such as Red Joker gameplay and yes, english subtitles.

Going...Going...Gone. MegaMan 9 Press Kits Sold Out

Just four minutes after being stocked, the MegaMan 9 Press Kits sold out. Completely. Gone.

"If these kits were a Robot Master, they'd be Flash Man, cause they were gone in a flash (Protodude comment: Actually, more like Quick Man). 3pm PST came, and within 4 minutes, we were sold out of the remaining stock.

I'm glad some select Unity members were able to get theirs early, and hopefully a few of the rest of you managed to snag some of these. If you didn't manage to get through, don't forget about the contest!

We'll be working to try and fulfill all the orders and we'll see what comes next when the smoke clears. Stay tuned here for more details, and a heartfelt THANK YOU! to all the crazy Mega Man fans that have helped to make this game a hit--seeing all this love has truly warmed the heart of an OG Mega Man nut."- s-kill

Well it's over.

Those who weren't fortunate enough to get one, don't give up. There's always ebay! However, good look finding one under $200 :/

'MegaMan 3' Heading to the Virtual Console

Ahh the every faithful OFLC, the rating board that brought us news of Rockman 9. When have you failed us?

According to the most recent OFLC entry, MegaMan 3 is slated to hit the Wii's Virtual Console sometime in the future.

Don't expect to see the game soon though, the rating was recently registered on October 2nd. If MM1 and MM2 were any indication, we may have a bit of a wait ahead of us.

Roll Confirmed For 'Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom'

Straight from the TGS show room floor courtesy of Dengeki Online, Roll is slated to appear in the upcoming fighter, 'Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom' alongside Rockman Trigger.

So, which Roll incarnation exactly? If you guessed Roll Caskett, you're wrong. It's Classic series Roll, equipped with her trusty broom stick!

So, now we have Rockman Trigger and Classic series Roll in the roster. Does this indicate the possibility of more seeing Rockman representatives from other series? Zero perhaps? Rockman.EXE?

'SEGA Vs. Capcom' a Possibility? Capcom Comments

So, what's the official word concerning the rumored 'SEGA Vs. Capcom' cross over? Christian Svensson, Corporate Officer/VP of Strategic Planning and Business Development responds:

“One never knows. We have a lot on our plates at the moment with SSF2THDR, SF4 and TvC on the fighting front. We’ll see what happens down the line”.

Vague yes, but it's reassuring to know that more Capcom Vs. titles might be coming down the pipe, maybe even this proposed SEGA Vs. Capcom

TGS begins in a few short hours, we'll just have to wait and see where this goes.

Rie Tanaka (Ciel) Interviewed

Rie Tanaka, the voice actress of Rockman Zero's Ciel and many other anime/game characters, was recently interviewed by "a geek by any other name" at the New York Anime Festival last weekend.

While Tanaka doesn't speak of her role as Ciel, she does go over some very interesting topics such as her most difficult role to portray, her fascination with cosplay and much more.

Check it out at "a geek by any other name."

(On an unrelated note, I would like to congradulate Turian for getting the 14th-Unit back online! Congrats!)

RM9 E-Can Beverage Up On Ebay

Although it may contain honey bee spit, the E-Can beverage is without a doubt, a must have for all collectors.

Currently, ebay is hosting an auction where one can bid on a single can. As of this writing, the auction is at $10.00 USD with 11 bidders. Goodness, that's an awful lot for an energy drink.

Thankfully, the seller is located within the US, so you won't have to wait forever to get it in your greedy hands.

Are you willing to possibly pay over $10.00 for a single can?

RUMOR: 'SEGA vs. Capcom' To Be Revealed At TGS

Earlier today, I received word from an anonymous source that both Capcom and SEGA are set to unveil a cross over title during the Tokyo Game Show festivities dubbed, "SEGA vs. Capcom: Great Clash Generation."

The game is described as a "hybrid RPG-fighting game" coming out on the Nintendo DS in Q1 2009 with a "likely" PSP port later in the new year.

SEGA is apparently heading the game's development alongside Dimps. Capcom however will take on the role of supervisor.

Anonymous did not have any knowledge as to who would make up the character roster, but did mention that Rockman and Sonic's presence were a given.

We'll find out if this rumor holds any truth later this week, TGS is set to begin Thursday, October 9th.

Thanks Anon

Get Equipped With Papercraft Cut Man, Awkward Fanfic

Don't you just love a good papercraft?

Courtesy of Nintendo Papercraft, we have ourselves a delightful chibi Cut Man. Nifty! The best part is, the papercraft comes with it's own back story:

"General Cutman comes from an Alternate Universe, where he was the original DLN-003. After he was implemented an experimental genius chip, his IQ raised to unmatched levels (towering above 200), and started to be perceived by Doctor Wily as too dangerous. During Wily's attempt to shut the rebellious robot down, Cutman escaped, severing Wily's arm in the process, and was never heard of until a few years later."

....intense.

Papercrafters shouldn't pass this one up, it offers quite a challenge! Download it here.

REMINDER: Blues DLC Available Today (For Wii)

The day has come! Blues is scheduled to make his Rockman 9 debut in the form of DLC for mere 200 Wii Points

Plus side of playing as Blues:

-Blues CAN slide and charge shots.
-Deflect small shots with his sheild
-Utilize Adapters (Sled, Coil, etc.)

On the downside:

-NO STORY
-Contact with bullets/enemies pushes Blue back twice as far as Rockman
-Lose Charge (Charge Shot is interrupted when hit)
-Twice as much damage taken than Rockman
-Maybe a few more tidbits I'm forgetting.

View pictures and video of Blues in action here and here!

Xbox and PS3 users unfortunately have to wait a short while longer to play as the red robot. Blues will be available tomorrow on XBLA while PSN users will have to wait till Thursday.

I don't know about you, but I'm quite excited.

Brief New SSR3 Footage

For the uninformed, Nintendo recently held their fall press conference to announce new and awesome games for the DS and Wii games (Sin and Punishment 2 and Punch-Out FTW!). The biggest announcement of the night was the new iteration of the popular DS, the DSi.

The DSi is not the successor to the DS/Lite, rather a remodel with two cameras, and SD card slot, slightly bigger screens and a whole bunch of new networking features.

During its reveal, Nintendo played a montage video showing a handful of DS games coming this fall and of course, Shooting Star Rockman 3 made an appearance.

SSR3 clip begins at 00:51:


Makes you wonder, will SSR3 feature DSi cam gameplay? The option to take a photo of yourself and use it as your Brother Band avatar?
