Get Glitched with Mega Man-Inspired Platformer 'Glitch Warrior'


Imagine a Mega Man game where your greatest asset is the ability to glitch the game to your advantage. Create platforms from your health bar; adjust enemy behavior on the fly; spawn clones of yourself anywhere and everywhere. This is the concept behind Glitch Warrior, a Mega Man-inspired action platformer by m07games.

This is the Last Month to Play Rockman Xover


Twilight is almost upon Rockman Xover. After two long years the free-to-play RPG for iOS and Android is shutting down on March 31st.

For those who are still playing the game let this be your reminder. For everyone else, this is your last chance to check it out. If you'd like to give it a spin before its gone, Appleforce's guide has you covered. He lays out how to get the game, gameplay basics, menu translations, etc. Be aware that you can no longer purchase in-app proprietary currency. Refunds will be taken until Wednesday, September 30th.

And on that note I bid Xover adieu. Whether or not Capcom will follow-up with a successor remains to be seen... maybe it should stay that way.

Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 Announced


Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 is indeed happening. The good word comes from the official Gunvolt Twitter account following the opening of Inti Creates' FanFesta 2105 event. The game's website has gone live but it's a bit topsy-turvy at the moment due to heavy traffic.

In the meantime, Famitsu has a first look at a brand new character (above). Gunvolt 2 will hit the Nintendo 3DS later this year.

More details as they come.

Rockman X Prototype Hits eBay


If you'd like to own a little slice of Mega Man history, you may have a chance on eBay right now. A prototype for Rockman X has appeared on the auction block and, as noted by SNES Central, it could be the same one that appeared on D4's website some years ago. In other words, we could be looking at an early development build.

Nothing is confirmed just yet, however. I am communicating with the seller to verify just how early we're talking about. In the meantime you can scope it out for yourself right here. With six days left to bid, the price is going to skyrocket.

Thanks to Keiji Dragon for the tip.

Jasco Games has made significant progress since the successful launch of their their Kickstarter campaign to make their upcoming Mega Man Board Game the best it can be.

What's more, Jasco has posted several images of the game's graphics. Baring final typesetting, the box art, board and cards are reportedly 95% approved. Check out these pieces right here.
