More Mega Man Legacy Collection details
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 3 Comments
On his Twitter page, Digital Eclipse’s Frank Cifaldi has been sharing additional details about the Mega Man Legacy Collection, which was announced earlier in the week.
Here’s a summary of what Cifaldi mentioned:
– Save slot for each game
– Won’t feature any new art that isn’t featured in the big Mega Man 25th anniversary art book
– No filter, NTSC composite simulation, RGB monitor filters
– Unclear if 3D will be supported
– Can stretch 16:9 if you want
– Not restoring unused content from the Mega Man 3 cart
– Audio is apparently “spectacular”
– The team contracted an expert to help with audio
On the project’s intent:
My god, though, I promise this isn't a cheap cash-in collection. This is our attempt to prove there's a market for respecting our heritage.

Decision to focus on the first six Mega Man games:
@ZeroAndShadow @Capcom_Unity because I'd rather spend time on extras than on making more games work

Nintendo picks up a trademark for “Diddy Kong” in Europe
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 27 Comments
Over in Europe, Nintendo has picked up a trademark for Diddy Kong. The name was just filed and made public today.
Does this mean anything? My personal guess would be no, but I’ve been wrong plenty of times before!
There’s been a whole bunch of speculation about what will/won’t be at the Nintendo Digital Event next week. Some people have been wondering what Retro Studios has been up to, for example. And based on a tweet the company sent out earlier in the week, some believe that Retro could unveil a new game during Nintendo’s E3 presentation.
Can you dig it? http://t.co/kvPfmQZwqC

Could Retro be developing a Diddy Kong game of sorts? What if a developer like Monster Games was put in charge of a new Diddy Kong Racing?
