Wii Feature | Mega Man 9 - WiiWare
Wii - Mega Man 9 - WiiWare - Mega Man Contest Winners

Back during our Mega Man extravaganza, we sent our readers on a little GR scavenger hunt for Mega Man booty. Congratulations on not being idiots! We got waaay more 100% scores than we expected, so it’s a good thing we asked you to submit a Mega Man boss of your own design.

 

We loved your text submissions, but fashioning an image really performed wonders in appeasing our judges. ...

Capcom's official count puts him in at least 120 games over the past 20 years, a number that surely must beat out all other popular characters and mascots (save Mario).We've got a massive retrospective, an exclusive hands-on with the latest game in the series, Mega Man 9, a bad ass contest packed with 10 super-cool prizes... and that's not even all of it.

Two massively important reveals happened this past weekend. One, Blizzard announced Diablo III, one of the most obvious and expected sequels of all time. The other was a bit more surprising, but still known due to weeks of random information leaks. That would be Mega Man 9, finally confirmed via scans from Nintendo Power ...

Wii Feature | Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Nov 19, 2007 Theres something about Metroid that makes otherwise normal people skip breakfast, lunch and dinner to play it in ways that must make the developers shake their fists and say ‘Grrrr. An entire community of Samus speedrunners is out there, digging up shortcuts and tricks with their game spades, shaving milliseconds off completion times - theyve even got their own language (see below). You dont have to join the scary clan of people trying to finish the game 100% in the time it ...

Wii Feature | Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Oct 23, 2007 The Metroid series has always been a victim of bad timing. It's one of the most critically acclaimed franchises in gaming. But thanks to dodgy release dates, internal politics and Nintendo's own disbelief in the franchise that's never quite rivalled the mighty Mario and Zelda series. Wrong place, wrong time? 1986; Atari was old news and the NES had successfully prevented the industry from spiralling into an imploding crash. 33-year-old Shigeru Miyamoto's hot-selling Super Mario ...
