Capcom is finally starting to show its dedication to Mega Man. Next year’s Mega Man 11 certainly helps, and the company also intends to re-release all of the Mega Man X games across various platforms in 2018.
Mega Man 11 fills the role of resurrecting the series that started it all. However, there are other parts of Mega Man that have long been dormant, including Mega Man Legends and Mega Man Battle Network.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 7 Comments
Our next financial update from Nintendo won’t be too far from now. The company has updated its IR calendar, confirming that its Nine Months Earnings Release will take place on January 31.
What can we expect to hear? Well, don’t expect any major announcements, as that’s what Nintendo Directs tend to be for. But you’ll definitely see Nintendo talking about things like Switch sales, hardware sales in general, how its mobile games are doing, and other topics of that nature. These events sometimes have other interesting news and tidbits from time to time, but just keep in mind that it won’t be a conference or video presentation.

In 2016, the Squid Sisters from Splatoon held their first performance at Game Party Japan. With the release of Splatoon 2 earlier this year, something similar will be happening once again.
Nintendo has announced that Game Party Japan 2018 will feature Off the Hook’s Pearl and Marina in their first live performance on February 10. The appearance of other guests have also been teased. Based on the official poster above, we can probably expect the Squid Sisters to return.
Other than that, we don’t have any additional information just yet. We should know more leading up to the event in February.
