Family Guy Game Spoofs Mega Man

Mobile phone game, "Family Guy Uncensored", pits the dysfunctional Griffin family in a series of bizarre, pop culture inspired, mini games. One game in particular is a blatant homage to classic Mega Man, starring g Stewie Griffin adorned in MM attire and Brian Griffin as Rush. Awesome, right? (and yes, that is none other than "Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man" playing the role of a common stage foe.)

Gameplay can be viewed here at the 0:29 and 0:40 marks. The title itself can be purchased at AT&T's homepage.

Thanks, Just

Mega Man Legends 3 Listed For 360/PS3 *UPDATE*

Now don't get overly excited, but N4G and VGReleases have added Mega Man Legends 3 to their respective databases, listing the title for a PS3/Xbox 360 release. Whether this is a screw up or a leak is anyone's guess:


Mega Man Legends 3 PS3 (VGReleases)
Mega Man Legends 3 X360 (N4G)
Mega Man Legends 3 PS3 (N4G)

What do you think?

UPDATE: Hate to say it, but this is looking mighty fake right now. Apparently, game listings on both N4G and VGReleases can be edited by anyone without moderation.

More Pirated Fun

If you're a fan of obscure Taiwanese Rockman bootlegs, then TaoBoa is for you! The auction house is filled to the brim with knock-off Blue Bomber goodies, a select few available for your viewing pleasure below:

-Rockman 10-in-1 for the "Game Color Advance."
As the name implies, this is a multi-cart, containing Rockman World 1-5 and a few other oddities. Also included is "Rockman 99", the Game Boy "port" of Rockman 8.

-8-in-1 2009 RPG: Most multi-carts contain the World games, (as seen above) but this one actually comes with all four Zero series titles.

-Rockman Exile: The popular MM2 mod has made its way onto the GBA. For one reason or another, the pricing is ridiculously expensive. How ridiculous? How about 99,980,001 Yuan or roughly 14.6 million US dollars. Yikes.


For plenty more pirated oddities, check out TaoBo. If you find anything truly bizarre, feel free to share!

Thanks for the list Brahman.

Voice Work Possibly Cut From Star Force 3

E3 attendee, Kim101, had the opportunity to speak with a Capcom representative regarding Star Force 3's upcoming North American release. Apparently, the small snippets of Japanese voice work from the title have yet to be removed, but there is a strong possibility it won't make it into the finalized english version. Gee, I'm so surprised.

Speaking of E3, Capcom's second "mystery game"was revealed yesterday. No biggie to us I'm afraid. Find out what it is here.

Star Force 3 English Screenshots
