Posted 7 years ago by Brian in General Nintendo, News | 15 Comments
Dentsu Entertainment announced last night that the upcoming Mega Man animated series will kick off in 2018. Additionally, the show will air on Cartoon Network.
An official English announcement has since come in, providing an overview of the series. It includes the first mention of a character called Suna Light.
Here’s the full interview:
“Aimed at kids 6 to 11, as well as their parents who grew up loving the video games, the new Mega Man animated series will feature exciting new technologies and robots, as well as the introduction of Mega Man’s alter-ego, Aki Light. Aki is a normal, upbeat, schoolboy robot who has nano-core technology that allows him to transform into the mega powered super hero Mega Man! With his Mega Buster arm cannon and iconic helmet, Mega Man battles the wickedest villains Silicon City has to offer. Beloved characters, such as Mega Man’s robotic dog, Rush, will return – while new characters, like Mega Mini™ and Suna Light, will make their debut!”
This latest announcement also confirms that the Mega Man animated series will air on Family CHRGD in Canada.

Posted 7 years ago by Brian in News, Switch | 33 Comments
Update (4/4): Now up for pre-order on GameStop.
Original (4/3): A couple of months ago, Nicalis’ Tyrone Rodriguez shared an image of Switch’s Home Menu. It depicted the icons of a few games: The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+, 1001 Spikes, Hydra, and Cave Story. We pretty much knew that last game was happening, but now it’s been made official.
Cave Story is coming to Switch as Cave Story+. Like The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth+, it will have a physical release.
Along with upgraded HD graphics, the game will have seven play modes such as Wind Fortress and Boss Rush, more than twenty boss battles, fifteen levels, ten unique weapons, and four unique endings.
Switch is getting Cave Story+ on June 20. Pricing is set at $29.99.
