Mega Man 9 fan-driven and crazy, says Capcom
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 4 Comments
“Rather than looking for specific thoughts from fans, I’d have to say this game ITSELF is basically fan-driven. It’s pretty clear that without the kind of deep fan love for Mega Man, and Capcom’s respect for those feelings, an idea this crazy would have just been laughed out of the room.” – Seth Killian, Senior Manager of Community Forums of Capcom
The folks over at Capcom has pretty “strong feelings” for Mega Man 9, so hopefully the game will be able to live up to the high expectations that most have set for the title.

Brain Age games won’t be returning any time soon

“Given that both titles continue to perform well, there are no plans for any more titles in the series.” – Dawn Paine, Nintendo UK Marketing Director
Brain Age was one of the first Touch Generations titles to release for the Nintendo DS, yet the game still sells at a respectable amount each week. The same goes with Brain Age 2. However, if there is an extreme demand for Brain Age titles, I’m sure the “franchise” could be resurrected in the future. For now, enjoy Dr. Kawashima’s glowing face!
