Capcom on the wait for Mega Man 3DS VC games in North America, retail vs. digital
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
Japan has been getting classic Mega Man 3DS eShop titles on a regular basis. That hasn’t been the same in North America, but Capcom finally confirmed that the NES title will arrive starting on December 27 and throughout 2013.
Capcom senior community manager Brett Elston was recently about the hurdles in releasing the Mega Man games on the North American eShop. Ultimately, the delay came about since Capcom wanted to have the retro titles lined up for Mega Man’s 25th anniversary.
“Now that we’ve announced the release date of these titles (starting with MM1 on 12/27), we’ll come clean and say most of those ‘hurdles’ were getting everything lined up for the anniversary period. We wanted to have MM1 arrive as close to 12/17 as possible, which required close coordination with Nintendo.”
Elston also commented on whether he believes Mega Man could still find a home at retail. He noted that it is “entirely possible we’ll find an idea or concept that warrants a full disc release, but for the immediate future, digital feels like the right way to experience Mega Man.”
“It’s entirely possible we’ll find an idea or concept that warrants a full disc release, but for the immediate future, digital feels like the right way to experience Mega Man. What form it takes, and which platform(s) it appears on, would need to suit the game and the intended audience. That said, the perceived quality of a digital title should be quite strong these days; just because something arrives via download and not in a box doesn’t mean it’s ‘lesser’ in some way.”

Aside from a slight graphical bump on Wii U, Dragon Quest X will also feature enhanced music. It was revealed at Jump Festa 2013 that Square Enix will be adding orchestrated pieces to the game. Not all songs will be orchestrated, but it sounds like a majority of compositions will be.

Capcom hopeful for more classic Mega Man releases on 3DS
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, 3DS eShop, News, Podcast Stories, Wii Shop Channel | 0 comments
Capcom kicked off Mega Man’s 25th anniversary by releasing Street Fighter X Mega Man and confirming classic games for the 3DS eShop in North America and Europe.
Fans may be wondering: is anything else planned for the 3DS? Senior community manager Brett Elston was recently asked if the company has any plans to offer something more beyond Virtual Console games on the eShop – specifically a 3D Classic.
“A great idea, and one I’ve brought up before. It’s just something both Capcom Japan and Nintendo would have to collaborate on. Never say never, but no official word at the moment.”
Capcom senior VP Christian Svensson also commented on additional Wii VC releases and “3DS stuff” on the official boards:
“I’m not sure if there’s any more Wii VC projects in the works at all with our online group at this point. I will say that they’ve at times just popped out of no where in the past so my lack of knowledge shouldn’t be taken as gospel. These projects [sic] aren’t on our usual product roadmap. I’m hoping the group is looking at 3DS stuff though. We’ve made some requests for a few things to be explored based upon feedback here. We’ll see what happens.
Black Ops II receives Wii U patch
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments
Austin edit: Though Treyarch didn’t release patch notes, things that I’ve noticed include the following:
– Weapon balance fixes
– Return of the “Cursor Sensitivity” and “Cursor Speed” options for Wii Remote players
– Multi-Team, Mercenary Moshpit modes added
Call of Duty: Black Ops II has been patched on Wii U. Activision and Treyarch sent out an update around a day or so ago. Players should be able to access the 106MB download now.
Thanks to Alfalfa for the tip.
