System: 3DS
Release date: February 23, 2016
Developer: Digital Eclipse
Publisher Capcom
It’s been over half a decade since Mega Man received a new release, but the iconic character still lives on by making the rounds with appearances in places such as Super Smash Bros. Finally though, a new product is here. Mega Man Legacy Collection brings together the first six titles of The Blue Bomber’s adventure into one spot, with added challenges, a museum to look at concept art from each game, and a music player to listen to some of the series’ most memorable tracks. This package serves as a way to honor Mega Man’s legacy and impact since his arrival into video games, and is one hardcore fans of the series will certainly enjoy.

Capcom Live! rockestral concert announced
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Capcom has announced the inaugural “Capcom Live!” rockestral, a new concert world tour set to begin in March.
Here’s what fans can expect:
“At “CAPCOM LIVE!” attendees can enjoy live performances of game music from more than ten Capcom masterpieces dating from the 1980s up through the present day, all completely synchronized to HD visuals. In addition to the performance of “Video Game Orchestra”—a group that combines rock and orchestral music into “rockestral” concerts and boasts high notoriety in the US—the tour will pursue sophisticated entertainment via staging that weaves together visual effects and specialized lighting. This tour differs from events that have targeted only gamers by brining to life a forward-thinking musical project that can engage music fans and general audiences as well.”
Capcom Live! will begin next month in China – March 19 in Shanghai and March 26 in Beijing. Performances will also be held in North American cities like Boston on April 9, with plans to expand into other territories next year. The goal is to have more than 30 concerts across the globe in areas including Japan, Europe, Central and South America, and Asia.
By holding these concerts, Capcom hopes to “achieve greater penetration of its brands in the broadening global game market, including emerging nations.”

Capcom released a batch of new screenshots from Ace Attorney 6 today. Find them in the gallery below.
Ace Attorney 6 is comprised of two parts, as we already know: investigation and trial. Players collect evidence during the investigation sections and present them against prosecutors and witnesses during trials. The game flow is the same for Phoenix and Apollo.
There are four options during investigations. You can talk to people, examine scenes, present evidence to people, and move to another location. During trials, you press witness testimony and present evidence to object to a statement during cross-examination, similar to past entries.

Mega Man Legacy Collection Collector’s Edition details, photos

Destructoid has a few photos up of the Mega Man Legacy Collection Collector’s Edition. Check them out in the gallery below.
As far as the gold Mega Man amiibo is concerned, it does come in a separate case. However, it’s completely generic and lacks a proper label. It’s also not possible to use Mega Man without taking it out of the box, for those that are curious.
Six postcards of art from each game are also included in the Mega Man Legacy Collection Collector’s Edition. That’s on top of sticks, a card to download 18 tracks from the soundtrack, and two 3DS themes inside the game box.
Mega Man Legacy Collection’s 3D support isn’t too extensive
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
Most 3DS games support stereoscopic 3D, but there are some that don’t. In the case of Mega Man Legacy Collection, there is some 3D functionality… just not much.
Dennis is currently playing through Mega Man Legacy Collection for review. He tells me that the menus are in 3D, but the games themselves aren’t. You can turn the slider on and see that the background becomes 3D, but it doesn’t do much since it’s just a basic black background, and for whatever reason there’s a flicker on the sides when you turn it on. It’s not like the 3D Classics or SEGA ports on the eShop.
As for Challenge Mode, these bite-sized gameplay segments are just like the main games where the background will have depth but the game is still flat. Museum Mode has depth while you’re scrolling through, but once you select what you want to look at it, the picture becomes flat again.
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate producer – factors behind western success, lengthy localization
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 11 Comments
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is the franchise’s most successful entry in the west. How did that happen exactly? In an interview with GamesBeat, series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto touched on some of the factors that led the game to become a hit in North America and Europe.
Localization changes helped lead Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate to overseas success. But even more importantly, Fujioka says online play “was huge”.
Fujioka told GamesBeat:
“… More than anything the addition of online play on the 3DS was huge. Obviously in Europe and North America it’s very difficult to play with others locally due to everyone being so spread out, so having online multiplayer in the game really showed the appeal of Monster Hunter’s multiplayer to a wide range of players.”
“Given that Japan is a small island country, there are more opportunities for people to meet directly, so the barrier for local play is low enough that lots of people can take advantage of it. This time around, especially outside of Japan we had a lot of people asking for online multiplayer, which of course was a big thing for players.”
