Protodude's Ramblings: Week of E3

[Protodude]

E3 has come and gone, leaving us a slew of itsy bitsy news stories.

Voice Work Possibly Cut From Star Force 3

E3 attendee, Kim101, had the opportunity to speak with a Capcom representative regarding Star Force 3's upcoming North American release. Apparently, the small snippets of Japanese voice work from the title have yet to be removed, but there is a strong possibility it won't make it into the finalized english version. Gee, I'm so surprised.

"DSi Mega Man 1GB Kit"?

GameStop is listing a strange item by the name of "DSi Mega Man 1GB Kit." Details are very scarce; the page classifies the item as a "memory card" produced by Interworks Unlimited. Mega Man branded SD card perhaps? Well, whatever it is, it's scheduled to release June 16th, 2009 for $19.99.


Mega Man Rush Marine iPhone Bound?

Mega Man Rush Marine is coming down the pike, a brand new side scrolling shooter for mobile platforms. Which mobile platform? Unfortunately, Capcom's fact sheet didn't specify, but if the the screenshots are any indication, Rush Marine might be headed to Apple's iPhone.

According to 1Ups Jeremy Parish, the screenshots for the title run 480 x 320 in size, the precise resolution of an iPhone/iPod touch screen.

"I couldn't help but notice that the resolution on these Mega Man: Rush Marine screens I found over at Siliconera just happen to be sized at 480x320. By a funny coincidence, that's the exact resolution of the iPhone's screen."

"In case you didn't know, the iPhone has some pretty solid shooters available for it. Rush Marine seems like a perfect fit, don't you think? Its retro-favored graphics (taken largely, though not entirely, from Mega Man 3) would be super-crisp on the iPhone's screen. Plus, unlike all your crazy Japan-only superphones, the iPhone is available to just about everyone in the world... and for those who can't own one, there's always the iPod Touch."

An iPhone release sounds likely, but bear in mind that the screenshots for RM are conceptual images according to Capcom's press room; it might not reflect the final product.

Hm, well I lost my crappy ancient 128MB card (kept it for some obsolete GBA apps on my M3 Perfect), so provided it's not Star Force branded, I'll probably nab that one.

CAAAAPPPPCCCOOOOMMMMM!!!!! 
Why dont you realize Starforce is unfavored
your going to make your fans buy more starforce things?
Why cant it be  ZX or X or original based? OR even legends based??
Why starforce???
....
Personally....i think starforce is ok... but now.... their selling random crap under their name 

[Solar]

Nice, I really like that kit and wish I could buy it (and a DSi to buy it for >.>).

Why starforce???

Because it's the one that's releasing THIS MONTH? -___-

[SoulAnimal]

yes i know that , but capcom has been feeding starforce too much 

[Tickle Buffalo]

Stop being such a damn child.

[Solar]

Define too much.

[STM]

yes i know that , but capcom has been feeding starforce too much 

You'll be happy to know this is apparently the last game of the series. Demand's been dying pretty badly on the series.

Define too much.

Mostly just , theycould be using their time to make other game series games , it doesnt have to be this one , but , im sorry for being such a kid , i just dont like the starforce series , because of the random changes from the BN to SF series , like.... what happened to Navis? they just because cards?

[Mirby]

This stuff is cool. But my fav E3 announcement? GOLDEN SUN DS! Yeah, that might be off-topic, but I don't care! Looks good too.

[Klavier Gavin]

Nice, I really like that kit and wish I could buy it (and a DSi to buy it for >.>).

There's one for the DS Lite too.

I like how they used the DSi on the package.

[Bag of Magic Food]

Then i wonder what the next series wil be....
merging with a toaster?

And you know what they say about toasters...

[spoiler]They all toast toast.[/spoiler]

[Flame]

at least the english VA is tolerable.

[BassDS]

Why don't you back off of StarForce? It's a good series and it has its fans,

[Flame]

I dont mind star force. its more fun that the BN series IMO. I prefer tbe X series, but SF is ok too.

[Gaia]

I  liked SF because of it's WiFi feature, I also liked BN because of it's customization feature. I like the Classic, X, Zero, and ZX because of that retro platforming feel to them (and minigames for ZX and Zero).
