From the Toronto Video Game Examiner:

Games shipping the week of October 11th, 2010 – Kirby weaves an Epic Yarn this Sunday.

From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:

The Nintendo Download – 10/11/10 – Sonic the Hedgehog 4! Ivy the Kiwi?! And… Datamine?

From The Mega Man Network:

Mega Man in MVC3 Leaked? (Maybe Not) – Mega Man and Jill Valentine in Marvel vs. Capcom 3? Unfortunately, things aren’t always what they seem… and amusingly, IGN seems to be involved.

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.

From the Toronto Video Game Examiner:

Sony Japan files patent for device to play PlayStation 2 games on PS3 – What Sony taketh away, Sony selleth back to you, apparently.

From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:

Nintendo of America joins Super Mario 25th bandwagon and Miyamoto comments on Mario’s endurance – They had me worried there for a bit.

25 Mario facts to celebrate 25 years – You might have read this at guardian.co.uk, but I’ve added some extra thoughts to a few of the facts given.

From The Mega Man Network:

Imagining the Possibilities of Mega Man Universe – Personally, I like the idea of the Wii version being a retail game which includes exclusive Nintendo characters, such as Mario, Link, Samus, and Pit. But these mock-ups of other Capcom alums are pretty cool, too. Props to on the art.

This Week: Mega Man 9, Maverick Hunter X 1/2 Off on PlayStation Store – Two great games for half the price. If you don’t own them already, what are you waiting for?

From RipTen:

Sony Releases New PSP Favorites for Back to School Season – More top PlayStation Portable games reach the $9.99 price point. But what about Mega Man Powered Up, Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X, and Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles? They could use some love, too.

From the Toronto Video Game Examiner:

Games shipping the week of August 16th, 2010 – Slow week for releases… not really much to see.

From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:

The Nintendo Download – 8/16/10 – Same thing here. Come on, Nintendo, where are the Virtual Console games at? We know there are plenty which haven’t been released yet. How about Virtual Console Arcade? We need a good home port of the original Donkey Kong that doesn’t require Donkey Kong 64 (also not available) to play.

Incidentally, what does it say about me that I’m more interested in the re-release of older games than I am in the release of newer ones?

From The Mega Man Network:

Bond Man: The Phantom Robot Master – Heat Man dug up this interesting bit of little-known Robot Master trivia from the history of Mega Man. But will this unsung cult hero ever truly have his day in the sun?

Australians! Get Your Weapons Ready for a Mega Man Zero Collection Sale – Admittedly, not of much interest unless you live down under. But if you do, then some good news awaits.

Today was a little more productive. I hope tomorrow is even more so.

From RipTen:

New CSI Games? Ubisoft is on the Case… – This is perhaps my favorite of the day; click to see why. Even if you aren’t a fan of CSI, hopefully the show’s pop-culture relevance will allow you to get the joke.

PSP, Phone Home? – More power to them, I guess. I have no real interest in a PSP that’s also a phone. But then, I already have a first-model PSP and an iPhone, so I may actually be ahead of having a hybrid, at least in some way.

Father Ends Weekend Visit with Son by Stealing & Selling His Games – Class act, really. What bugs me most is that the local news which covered the story focused far more on the dad, and we don’t even know if the kid is getting his stuff back.

From the Toronto Video Game Examiner:

Learn the fine art of making game music at chiptune workshop in Toronto this Sunday – I’d love to check this out for myself, despite not knowing the first thing about music. Alas, I have prior commitments.

Take on Toronto in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game – I posted this yesterday, but just in case anyone missed it. There’s a certain thrill to seeing a game based on where you live, and I hope that this one does it justice.

From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:

Nintendo provides new super challenges for New Super Mario Bros. Wii players – Nintendo, or at least Nintendo of Europe, has decided to inject some excitement into a little-known game called New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Unfortunately, doing so also tends to highlight the game’s lack of online leaderboards, Achievements, and the like, to say nothing of the Wii’s in general. Hopefully whatever comes next will bring something comparable.

Get Super Scribblenauts wallpaper now, “Adjectivized” headphones when you pre-order – Last year, pre-ordering Scribblenauts would yield Maxwell’s red rooster hat. This year, it yields his headphones. What comes next?
