IGN Australia's internet may be upside and backwards from our own, with information that swirls counter-clockwise due to the Corilios Effect, but that doesn't stop 'em from pontificating about the same games we play here on the correctly-facing portion of the globe. The Ozzie version of IGN (fact: it's winter in their IGN while it's summer in our IGN) kicks off a new, awkwardly-named feature called "Fanboy vs Fresh-Face" with two geeks squaring off pro/con on Mega Man 9. 'Unity Awesome Phrase Award' goes to usage of the word "fangasm" in the opening salvo of their discourse.

Check it out, we've got poorly translated Mega Man news from our good buddies at Famitsu, direct from the Tokyo Mega Man Summer Festival 2008! With the sketchy magic of Google Translate, you too can learn about winners of the Mega Man 9 and Mega Man Starforce 2 tournaments, Inafune-san's video greeting, and announcements about the next Starforce game (including the Japanese release date and names of the versions: Black Ace and Red Joker). Read it yourself and then spend a few hours trying to puzzle out what the hell you just absorbed. Best bit in the whole piece are the two pictures from the History of Mega Man display, including dozens of classic Japanese Mega Man boxes! Now I have to go lie down for a bit after reading things like "the doctor will draw a hawk" and "fans of Mega Man is the best summer memories!"
