We are pleased to announce during this week’s Mega Man 10 launch that the rumors are true! Mega Man 10 does indeed have an additional character you can play as, and that character is Bass! On April 5 th, users can download Bass for 200 Wii points.
Dr. Wily designed Bass with Mega Man’s abilities in mind. Of course there’s a bitter rivalry between the two, although Bass will help Mega Man out if he sees a benefit for himself.

Third Game in Series Available Exclusively for the Nintendo DS™ System
SAN FRANCISCO – March 3, 2010 – Today Ubisoft® announced that the next game in its successful Battle of Giants series, Battle of Giants Mutant Insects, is now available at retail. Developed by Ubisoft Quebec, the team behind the best selling title Battle of Giants™ Dragons and its predecessor Battle of Giants™ Dinosaurs, the newest game in the series will bring an exciting experience to young players as they seek to rule a post-apocalyptic Earth as massive insects.
In Battle of Giants Mutant Insects, players assume the role of a fearsome mutant insect and battle against massive enemies through a ruined landscape. Players can choose between a scorpion, mantis, spider or a flying ant, and also have the ability to use collected gems to upgrade insect body colors, powers and strength to adapt to the rugged environment. The game features a new world filled with unique challenges and mysterious new territories, including Ruined Cities, Lava Deserts, Bamboo Forests, and Thick Swamps. The heralded battle mechanic has also been expanded, enabling players to uncover special abilities such as specialized vision to see through the dense fog and dust as well as a devastating burrowing attack. Players can also organize tournaments with up to four players and compete with friends to see who commands the most powerful insect.
LEGO SYSTEMS AND TT GAMES PUBLISHING EXTEND GLOBAL EXCLUSIVE PARTNERSHIP FOR DEVELOPMENT OF LEGO VIDEOGAMES THROUGH 2016
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Owned TT Games Develops the Highly Successful LEGO Games Which Have Reached 50 Million Units in Sales Worldwide
March 3, 2010 – LEGO Systems and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group (WBHEG) announced today a worldwide license agreement for TT Games Publishing to continue developing the highly successful LEGO videogames across multiple platforms.
“This is a routine event and not in any way related to EA’s announced restructuring. Moving projects to leverage development strengths is common in global studio organizations. In this case, a small project has been moved from EA Los Angeles, to the EA Bright Light Studio in Guildford, UK, where the Harry Potter franchise and several of the Hasbro properties are developed. A small number of employees were impacted by the decision. All eligible employees will receive severance and outplacement assistance. EA remains fully committed to maintaining its EALA studio which is the headquarters for the mobile division as well as for development of franchises like Medal of Honor, Command & Conquer and others.” – EA spokesperson
“Jeff Dixon Has [sic] joined the ranks of the EALA departed. The Boom Blox team was laid off today.” – LinkedIn profile of Jeff Dixon, previously senior software engineer at EALA
According to Dixon, fourteen employees were let go. Unfortunately, It looks like if there’s another Bloom Blox title, it’ll be from a different studio. Or, at the very least, it won’t be from some of the same talent that created the first two games.
– Takes place in the near future
– Disaster causes the world to turn into a giant Mad Max pastiche
– Hero described as “the strongest level-1 character in the history of video games”
– Dr. Minch resurrects the hero from the dead, needs to find his memories
– Developed by Crea-Tech
– Hiroshi Miyaoka handling the design
– Turn based RPG
– Hero can hire mercenaries, customize vehicles (including tanks, motorcycles), track down bounties
This information comes from senior producer Romain de Waubert de Genlis, producer Erwan Le Breton, and associate producers Max Von Knorring & Benoit Faguet
“We think this is just the beginning: We are fans of what we do, creating games! Gamers and gaming editors are fans of Clash of Heroes…So it would be hard to stop here right?”
I still can’t believe how much I loved Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes. It was one of the biggest surprises of 2009 for me. I didn’t know too much about the game and I wasn’t sure how much I’d enjoy it. As you can tell from my review, though, I found it to be an incredibly entertaining title.
