Portable News Trailers and More

Portable games are here to stay. Whether you have a dedicated console for playing games or if you're like everybody else with a smart phone, portable is where its at if you have to get up and go somewhere. I love portable games because I have crazy kids that run circles around me, and playing on a console isn't the best option if you have to keep up with them.

The 3DS world has been abuzz with some release dates for some very important games hitting the shelves in February and March. First up is Fire Emblem: Awakening. I've never played a Fire Emblem game, but after looking at all the work that went into this game, I have a feeling that this will be the first.  The game employs some strategy elements, and some hardcore permadeath mechanics. Check out the trailer below:

Mega Man and NEOGEO

Today is Mega Man's 25th birthday. Isn't it strange that Capcom has totally ignored Mega Man? I'm not surprised that they want to stay quiet about anything Mega Man related considering the public outcry at the cancellation of Mega Man Legends 3. Capcom was also the target of leveled criticism from Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune.

On the bright side there's an officially endorsed fan-made Mega Man game that was released today. Street Fighter X Mega Man! This time the Blue Bomber fights off against your favorite characters from the Street Fighter series. New levels. New Weapons. Old 8-bit style. This looks great. Go download Street Fighter X Mega Man right now from Capcom. Mega Man 1-6 will be released on the 3DS eShop by the end of the month! eventually.
