I just want the damn Virtual Console TT_TT! I need Metroid Fusion and Megaman Zero, at all times, on me pocket. NOW > < (There WILL be GBA titles, right :D?)

Now that's a thing of beauty.
hoo wee

@Gaidenrider Only GB/GBC, Game Gear and TurboGrafx-16 have been announced. I hope they add GBA downloads at some point as well.

It looks so... Beautiful *wipes a single tear*

Well this is Awesome!! I might now have a 3DS in time for the launch... But still, great surprise for fans!

I'm not so sure that deliberately and openly releasing unfinished versions of games on the market is a good idea. Remember what it did for Gran Turismo?

Just want to point out how fail this game is going to be since it is not even going to be on its on cartrige. So more than likly they are using the same engine that the other ones ran off.

This is a fan service game and the creator of megaman is no longer working on it so there is no way it would be good.

Fuck yeah.

Sounds great but hopefully the price is right considering people who buy this will also end up going out and buying the retail version for $40.

@Retrofraction: Dont blast something you know nothing about! The actual game will be on a cartridge. Read the article, this is more like a prototype/demo/preview of the future game to come.

As long as it's not more than $10, sign me up.

This made my day, seriously.

Again, Dale - two identical stories within a few posts of each other, each acting as though we don't know the 3DS e-Shop opens in MAY. It was announced long ago. Thanks for spreading FUD through your inability to research anything. Or, at this point in the e-Shop update story, KNOW anything.

I hope they improve the graphics a fair bit. I know it's still early days but this looks very unpolished and jaggy-edged compared to both Street Fighter and what we've seen of RE:Mercs & Revelations.

Now this is how you kick off a downloadable service right. I think Nintendo has learned a lot of lessons on what not to do and what to do, for their downloadable service this time around. The thing that stand out to me is, the file size most be a lot bigger than either DSiWare, and WiiWare, which is great news.

I believe this game is only 200 yen, so probably $2 over here.

@PhilK3nS3bb3n:
The Japanese version is lauching on the eShop for 200 yen which equals out to about $2.40 in America, so my fair guess would be 2 or 3 bucks for Prototype.

It better be free then...

@anime10121 - were is the source? I should only read the sources game sites try to rephrase to make their 'news' out of from now on, so I actually have a fair shot at getting some valid information.

Ahh. Look at the 'primary source conversion techniques' used by sites like this. Verbiage from Press Release:

"Once you experience the game, let your voice be heard by heading to www.capcom-unity.com/devroom and join the community of Servbots who are helping design the game."

Dale North's 'writeup':

"Once you've played the game, Capcom wants your feedback to be submitted at capcom-unity.com/devroom. They want you to be a little Servbot."

The whole 'article' here is just a deflation of the wording from the press release. All sites like this usually do is reword other articles and press releases like an echo chamber. One mistake gets put in to one game site, the next one (who never did any research, just 'wrote up' the last article), reprints it, adding the sort of lame joke they think makes them special (cuz it sure as hell ain't having any special insight or research ability that makes them special) and away it goes. 'There, I wrote teh newz, har!'

Getting info this way is like having the news read to you by someone who is sounding out the words to make sense of it.

This could be awesome if done right (positive feedback makes better games) or terrible is handled carelessly (like Excel-2011 said), make sure it's the former Nintendo and Capcom.

Also this model could be the evolution of the demo, offer gamers a taste of the end product, use their feedback to improve it, polish/fix/cut whatever negative critics and deliver a superior final product, of course as said before, it has to be done right.

I'm totally fine with this! NOW OPEN THE GODDAMN eSHOP!

Thank you Capcom. :D ...this is so fucking cool.

But will this be free, or paying?

@Kitty

Then don't read it. You're welcome.

@Gaiden

Mega Man Zero Collection.

LOL I agree pedrovay2003 I've been a little 'serious' about this, but your advice isn't very sound. I think some effort on the part of article writers more often would benefit us all, whereas me not reading this site would benefit no one.

Damn you, Dale! This headline made me think the eShop had launched (even though I knew it wasn't launching until May).

There's a trailer out too (I was going to link to it but it feels dirty to put a link on Dtoid that takes you to another gaming site)

I hope this is free $2 isn't much, but I'm guessing since the game is so early in development it's only going to be a few short levels with coarse graphics

Looks fantastic, I can't wait.

well I just $#@! myself after seeing this article and after the whole "this game might not actually be released" thing this is incredible news me. Now I just got to beat my copy of megaman legends 2 before this comes out.

P.S. eShop, Y U NO THE #@!% UP YET !

@Gaidenrider If you want to get megaman zero, you can still buy the Mega Man Zero Collection for the DS pretty cheap online.

The full game better not come out on DS 3D only. I would rage MDK187 Nintendo! It should be a PS3 Title.

Damn, now I have to get a 3DS for THREE reasons. Curse you Nintendo!!!!

@pedrovay: Already have the collection, bought it as soon as I could. But I want the best game of the franchise, the first one, on ME pocket at all times, matey!
