Mega Man Rush Marine is coming down the pike, a brand new side scrolling shooter for mobile platforms. Which mobile platform? Unfortunately, Capcom's fact sheet didn't specify, but if the the screenshots are any indication, Rush Marine might be headed to Apple's iPhone."I couldn't help but notice that the resolution on these Mega Man: Rush Marine screens I found over at Siliconera just happen to be sized at 480x320. By a funny coincidence, that's the exact resolution of the iPhone's screen."An iPhone release sounds likely, but bear in mind that the screenshots for RM are conceptual images according to Capcom's press room; it might not reflect the final product.
"In case you didn't know, the iPhone has some pretty solid shooters available for it. Rush Marine seems like a perfect fit, don't you think? Its retro-favored graphics (taken largely, though not entirely, from Mega Man 3) would be super-crisp on the iPhone's screen. Plus, unlike all your crazy Japan-only superphones, the iPhone is available to just about everyone in the world... and for those who can't own one, there's always the iPod Touch."
GameDaily recently compiled a list "good games that actually suck." Making the cut at number two is Mega Man 9:" Last year, Capcom delivered yet another Mega Man sequel to its long-standing franchise, but with a twist. Instead of revamping the blue bomber, the developers went "old school" and gave his adventure an 8-bit feel, complete with simplistic 2-D sprites, retro music, slowdown and nearly impossible to beat enemies. We literally cannot go three minutes of continuous play without dying (What's the fun in that?). Everyone else, including our reviewer, must have secret cheat codes, because despite this ridiculous artificial intelligence, Mega Man 9 has an 82 percent average on Gamerankings. "So.... the game "sucks" because it's too hard? Really now, is that the game's fault or the players'?
If you thought the free soundtrack was awesome, then check out the newachievements for Steam. Don't own Flock yet? Well, this weekend only Flock is only half-price on Steam:
But wait, there's more! Even if you don't own the Steam version, there's still a lot of game tuning we've been stealthily working on to perfect the game. Just download this new patch (it's automatically installed for Steam users).
Check out this juicy preview of Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, courtesy of IGN.
RE: TDSC is chock full of juicy story details, truly scary horror elements, and lots of those classic questionable one-liners. It's also just drop-dead gorgeous IMO--alongside TvC and MH Tri, with RE: The Darkside Chronicles, the Wii has never looked so good.
Tyrant claw! (scream)!
Behold--the Turtle
Beach Ear Force X1!
I only got it this week, but in addition to sounding great and really pulling you into the game, the X1 totally stops game sounds being picked up by the mic--one of my major pet peeves when I'm playing online with strangers on crummy headsets.
Capcom's own Sissy is rocking the X1 while waiting for a little Bionic Commando multiplayer action.
We liked these headphones so much (modeled by Capcom's own Sissie playing a BC multiplayer match) that we'll have X1s on all our Lost Planet 2 and Dark Void stations at E3 next week. Stop by and check us out.
Come Tuesday morning, June 2nd 2009, Capcom will finally reveal their "mystery" title to the world:
We've created some super awesome props from Dark Void to show off at E3. Some will be on display, and others are actually part of a costume. Here's some photos of the display and costume pieces. We'll have the jetpack, helmet, and disintegrator gun there for you to drool on. Aside from looking exactly like the in game pieces, they also have the light effects to go with it.
We've shown you this creation earlier on, and it's gotten even better with time. There's a ton of fan made Mega Man games out there, but this one easily takes the cake.
You've seen the 2.5D gameplay in the older footage, and now it's looking better and used in new ways, as well as introducing some cool co-op aspects.Check out more screenshots and such here.
Thanks Moises!
