Quantcast



IGN revealed a trailer for the upcoming Mega Man Universe, featuring an extremely lanky Mega Man pew-pewing his way through levels composed of Mega Man 2 assets. Then 1UP and GameSpot dropped their own trailers, starring a more normal-proportioned Rockman and the US box art mistake Mega Man respectively. All exciting stuff. When can I give you my money, Capcom?

Today's recaps cover Wednesday as well as Thursday. The newest Bit Transmission episode is finally available, DtoidAustin had a killer NARP, and King Dedede is also made out of string.

So... it is basically Little Big Planet, only with Megaman? Not quite sure what I should think about it :(

I'll take some of that Mega Man action. I'm still curious how they're going to handle bosses. Could be great!

There was also the Dtoid Midwest NARP. That's cool that we never got mentioned, because MIDWEST LOL.

Ugh the art style looks like an early 90's shareware game you'd get off of Cnet. The different kinds of megamen are pretty cool though. Hate that art style though.

I understand why we have a "Sonic Cycle" bur not a MegaMan cycle?

MM looks bad, but Rockman actually looks good if you check out the RM trailer

I just finished watching the extended trailers with Rockman, and Bad Box Art Mega Man. This game still looks like a bag of smashed assholes.

I can't get into the art style at all. Mega Man on SNES looked better.

i'm hating the models. they've made mega man games for years, you'd think they would be able to make a decent mega man model. plus there's something off about the way he jumps...
well, i'm off to criticize more games that have just been announced and aren't finished but i'm going to act like it is and nothing about that is going to change.

He looks like he was drawn by a child. A child who is also retarded and has never seen Mega Man before
