Interview with Deus Ex: Human Revolution Producer David Anfossi – We get down to business, and ask the most important question of all.

Canadian Vietnam veteran displeased with Call of Duty: Black Ops release date – Is it an issue of a war game near Remembrance Day, or of one featuring Vietnam?

From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:

Super Sonic’s role in Sonic Colors (spoiler)

Nintendo says ‘it’s on,’ files for trademark of popular phrase – This just kind of came up out of nowhere.

The Examiner/MMN Revue for Friday, November 5th

November 6th, 2010

From the Toronto Video Game Examiner:

Toronto video game deals for the week of November 5th to November 11th, 2010 – A whole lot of Call of Duty: Black Ops stuff going down.

Microsoft Canada provides a way for Canadians to win Kinect – No Whoppers involved, however.

From The Mega Man Network:

Rockman 9 Going Mobile in Japan – Now you can torture yourself on the go!

Roll Gets Cutesy on Kotobukiya Box – Not only are Kotobukiya a source of great model kits, but great new art as well.

The Examiner/MMN Revue for Tuesday, November 2nd

November 3rd, 2010

From the Toronto Video Game Examiner:

You can’t Kinect with the King in Canada – I’m not totally uninterested in Kinect… more than anything, the price is a chief demotivating factor. Burger King is offering a lot of people a chance to win one, but sadly, it doesn’t include Canadians.

From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:

Nintendo Prez says “no” to Wii price drop, two Canadian retailers do it anyway? – Nintendo seems more keen on giving more bang for your buck this holiday season than changing price tags. Maybe this is a new green initiative for them? In any case, Iwata says there will be no cuts, but prior to that, two Canadian retailers reportedly went ahead and did it anyway.

And the kicker? The price-cut Canadian Wiis are cheaper than the U.S. packages, despite being more expensive at normal price.

From The Mega Man Network:

The Legends 3 Team Offers Reassurance Following Inafune’s Departure – Inafune wasn’t the only one working on the game, you know! Here’s what the team has to say about working on the project without the man who spearheaded it in the first place.

Kotobukiya is Ready to Rock the World – This is awesome news… that is, if you aren’t one of the people who dropped an absurd amount to import the models which have already been released.

From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:

The Nintendo Download – 11/1/10 – At first glance, it looks like a weak week, but there may be something to this Robox thing…

From The Mega Man Network:

An Epic Rendition of Mega Man 2?s Title Screen – It’s the same thing as on RipTen above, actually.

Rockman Sound Event in Japan This December – The funniest part is that this announcement came off of Square Enix’s website.

Inafune’s Massive 4Gamer.net Interview – Before officially announcing his retirement from Capcom, Keiji Inafune gave one doozy of an interview to 4Gamer.net. And one intrepid translator has posted the massive piece in English.

Look Cool as Proto Man this Halloween – The littlest Mega Man returns, this year as the older number-one son.

Here is Your Mega Man Legends 3 Heroine – You know, I never got to vote in this. That said, I’m not dissatisfied with the outcome.

Keiji Quits – Perhaps the biggest news of the day: Keiji Inafune, the last big name at Capcom and one of the creators of Mega Man, has left the company. I’m still not sure what to say– it’s almost like hearing of Miyamoto leaving Nintendo (or at least, the closest thing Capcom could have to such a situation).

Mega Man Projects Still Carrying On – Fortunately, despite Inafune’s departure, it looks as though work will continue on the third Legends and other projects in development. Whew!

From the Toronto Video Game Examiner:

Toronto video game deals for the week of October 29th to November 4th, 2010

Two top executives step down from two top companies – Inafune isn’t the only high-ranking officer at a video game company to leave yesterday. Take-Two’s Chief Executive Officer, Ben Feder, has also announced that he is stepping down.

With Inafune’s interest in Western development, can you imagine what might happen if these two individuals came together to form their own company? Feder did say he planned to travel to Asia with his family after leaving…

From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:

Nintendo of America announces Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition – All I can really think of to say is “Thank you, Nintendo!” I just hope I’m able to snag one of these while they last.

Rockman Online Blog Details Gaia – Some info about the place the Maverick Hunters of this future world call home…

Bits of NYCC Info – A little of what went down at Capcom’s panel during the New York Comic-Con.

Capcom Hiring for MML3 Development Liaison – I’d love this job. However, I don’t live in San Mateo, California… that, and I lack fluency in Japanese.

Vote for the New MML3 Heroine! – The first look at how fans may influence the third game in the Mega Man Legends series?

Details on MML3?s New Heroine – And some details surrounding the above.

Hidden Level Editor Discovered in Mega Man X/X3 – Did you know that stage editors for Mega Man didn’t begin in Mega Man Powered Up? Indeed, though one might admit that these, hidden deep within Mega Man X and X3, may be a touch more complicated than some might want to deal with.
