Update: Clarification about Nomura’s involvement. An image has now been released, and his weapons/armor aren’t directly tied to Final Fantasy. Still neat in any case!

Capcom hasn’t stopped announcing crossovers for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, believe it or not. Two new ones were announced during a panel at New York Comic-Con today.

First, players will be able to use Mega Man as a Palico. He uses a Rush Hammer and makes the classic Mega Man death sound when he retreats. A special Mega Man Guild Card is planned as well.

Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate also features a Tetsuya Nomura Collection of weapons and armor. The gear is inspired by Final Fantasy summons, and can be used with the Final Fantasy-inspired Palico.

Earlier this year, the Game Boy celebrated its 25th anniversary. Indie French developer Christophe Galati is celebrating the occasion with a brand new tribute title.

Tasukete Tako-San: Save me Mr Tako is a action-platformer with automatic side-scrolling and semi-procedurally generated 2D environments. There are people to save, enemies/bosses to fight, and powers to use such as the ability to spit ink and paralyze foes.

A demo can be found on the game’s IndieDB page. Tasukete Tako-San: Save me Mr Tako will eventually be released on the Wii U eShop sometime after its completion.

Has the North American Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker boxart received an update? Apparently so!

Let’s take a look at the original boxart shared back in June:

And here’s the new boxart found through a Nintendo game page listing:

Changing the boxart actually makes quite a bit of sense. It’s now in line with the Japanese packaging, pictured below:

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

In case it’s unclear: the white model is the New 3DS. The blue model is the very first 3DS model, while the black one is the 3DS XL.
