More Mega Man CG Fan-Art

Last week we caught a peek at David Espinoza's exceedingly awesome Hollywood-quality renders of the Mega Man 2 cast. Today, Kotaku brings us a look at two more of equal quality: Crash Man and Quick Man.

The Crash and Quick renders were produced by Yoshi Vu, friend of David Espinoza. Vu is said to be currently working on a Wood Man render, so do look forward to that. Wouldn't it be great if Vu and Espinoza rendered all the Robot Masters? I'd love to see that!

Servbot In Lost Planet 2

Capcom recently rolled out a new trailer for Lost Planet 2, which highlights some the game's latest features. As evident at the 1:12 mark, an oversized Servbot head is just one of the many accessories players can don in the game:

The Servbots, and their likenesses, have appeared in several non-Mega Man Capcom games for quite some time, with their most popular appearances being in Dead Rising, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, and the more recent Tatsunoko vs. Capcom. I'd like to think their growth in popularity is a sign of things to come; namely a Legends series revival -- but that's merely wishful thinking at the moment.

Lost Planet 2 is releasing on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 on May 11th.

High-res boxart!

A month ago, Capcom and Sony held a raffle where 30 lucky gamers won an exclusive download of Rockman 3: Complete Works on the Japanese PlayStation Store.  Didn't win?  Not to worry, you'll still have a chance at obtaining the game.  Capcom announced tonight that the title is seeing a public release on the JPN PlayStation Store today, April 28th for 600 Yen.

There is no region restriction for PlayStation Store, meaning you can purchase the game even though you don't own a Japanese PS3.  All you need to do is set up a Japanese PSN account (instructions here) and have access to a JPN PlayStation Network Card to redeem cash for yen (instructions here).

Capcom Trademarks 'Mega Man Universe'

Capcom USA has filed a trademark that may offer a peek at a future, unannounced Mega Man game. On April 21st, the company registered the title "Mega Man Universe" over at the U.S Patent and Trademark Offices:

The news comes a day after  Capcom's community manager Seth Killian hinted that a 'rad' Mega Man concept was in the works. Perhaps Mega Man Universe is just that?
