Mega Man 10 rumors today, potential info dump

Mega Man 10 rumors today, potential info dump tomorrow screenshot

Do you read The Fanboy Review everyday? Me neither, but I think that's about to change. Back on November 21st, a good two weeks before the news about Mega Man 10 broke,The Fanboy Review put up a pretty detailed post about the game. Some of what they reported, like the robo-virus storyline, the playable Proto Man, and continued use of the NES style graphics, turned out to be totally accurate. That makes the other stuff they mention, like 2-player co-op and Bass being the third playable (via DLC) all the more credible.

We may be getting official word on all this (and who knows what else) in less than 24 hours. Capcom's giving away Mega Man-style E tanks (as opposed to Sheep Man-style E tanks) tomorrow at some sort of event in Los Angeles to coincide with Spike's VGA ceremony. That seems like the perfect opportunity to officially announce Mega Man 10, doesn't it?

Actually, I guess the actual VGAs would be the real perfect opportunity to announce a new title in one of gaming's longest running and most beloved series, but from what I can tell, paying attention to games like Mega Man 10 isn't what the VGAs are all about.

Unless of course, Mega Man 10 ends up starring Snoop Dogg and Kim Kardashian's ass.

Retro Review: The Sega Activator

video details and more

You could say that the Sega Activator was the original Project Natal. Using the same technology as the U-Force, but more immersed than the Power Glove, Sega's answer to silly peripherals almost began and ended with this octagon. As with most things Sega did in the Genesis era, it was a decent idea, but maybe not executed that great.

I think I'm even more disappointed that my Activator didn't come with this awesome training video.

Confirmed: Sakura Wars is blatantly better on the
PS2

Confirmed: Sakura Wars is blatantly better on the PS2 screenshot

The other day I told you all that the patently awesome Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love for the PS2 and Wii would be arriving on store shelves in February, two-thousand-and-ten. I also told you that people afraid of cheesy English dubs would not need to worry, as all copies of the game would come on two discs: one with English voiceovers and one with the original Japanese voiceovers.

Apparently NIS-America is intent on making me A DIRTY LIAR, as the game's confirmed release details retroactively make much of what I told you the other day utterly false.

The less-bad news first: Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love will not be coming in February, but instead on March 23rd, 2010. That's OK, just a few weeks' difference, and finally a hard date. However, the worse news is that Wii owners who don't like the dub won't be getting that second disc, the one with the Japanese voice acting. You can take comfort in the fact that the Wii version will launch at the considerably lower price point of $29.99, versus $39.99 for the PS2.

Which brings me to the better news, reserved for PS2 fans. The PS2 version, while more expensive, will come with that second Japanese-language disc alongside a bunch of extra goodies, including an art book and poster.

Frankly I'm glad that we're getting a Sakura Wars game at all, much less a Wii port (since the original PS2 game came out before the Wii even existed), and that they haven't cut out the language option entirely, but I'm a little saddened by the fact that I'm now a liar, destined to burn eternally in Malebolge, the 8th Circle of Hell. For disappointed Wii owners, all I can do for you now is offer the picture below, which is of Gemini Sunrise cosplaying as the girl from OneChanbara.

Which version will you be getting? Is ten bucks worth the loss of a language to you?
