Original at Kotaku
• Wed, Nov 18
By AJ Glasser Capcom is really supportive of WiiWare between this and Mega Man 9. As long as they don't jack up prices or chop up individual Phoenix Wright games into tiny episodes (which is almost the same thing as jacking up prices), I support the decision to port awesome DS games to WiiWare.

By Mike Fahey The Kubrick/Bearbrick Mega Man set is actually a Rockman set, but I figured our North American readers might know him better by his bastardized name. Rockman looks vaguely pissed to be packaged alongside a clear blue Rockman fan-bear, but such is his lot in life. Not even swapping out his he...

Video game music cover bands are a dime a dozen. Regurgitating NES tunes with the standard guitar-bass-drums set up was cute when the Advantage and the Minibosses did it, but now, now it's just bordering on sad. That's why when someone writes rapid-fire lyrics and actually sings the melody...
