    Pulseman Coming To the Virtual Console...Who?

    Not Rockman news per se', but noteworthy nonetheless:

    Pulseman, the cult classic Sega Mega Drive ("Genesis") game by Game Freak, has been rated by the ESRB; a sure fire sign the title is coming to the North American Virtual Console.

    So...how does this remotely relate to Rockman? I believe VOLTECCER! stated it best:

    "[The game]stars Pulseman, appropriately, a miracle boy who is half human and half digital. Because of this he is able to freely move between the real world and the digital word (i.e. going into machines and computer networks. Think Tron or Mega Man Battle Network). He has taken it upon himself to battle against Doc Waruyama, leader of Galaxy Gang, a group intent on taking over the world, and the whole galaxy seemingly. Rather trite storyline, yes, but ten years ago that was the bar for many games.

    Pulseman attacks electrically, using slashes, charged shots and of course his trademark Volteccer, which essentially turns the hero into an electrified pinball that can bounce off walls infinitely, smash through enemies, and perform various useful tasks to make it through stages.Some have said the game is a crossover of Mega Man and Sonic the Hedgehog, and that's a fairly good way of looking at it. On the Mega Man side you star as a robot (well, robot-looking) boy in a slightly futuristic time who must protect the world from a mad scientist and his deadly creations/suboridnates, and on the Sonic side, much of the gameplay is speed centric; Pulseman moves quickly and he needs to in order to charge up. Nevertheless, these elements combine together in a way to create something that's entirely unique, and not a shadow of something else."

    I absolutely loved Pulseman and I guarantee, you'll enjoy it as well. So please, do check it out when it comes our way!

    Now I've Gotta See This.

    This film appears to be a good case study of what speedballers would do when they decide to become animators. I wonder what kids would say about this movie today!

    Now, let me just say this commercial said something to me in a very certain way.

    The Secret of Mega Man 9

    The "Secret" of Mega Man 9: Still Holding Out?

    Since late October, Mega Man fans have been in a tizzy trying to uncover the "final" Mega Man 9 secret revealed by Capcom's very own, Seth Killian:

    "There's only one undiscovered Mega Man 9 secret that I know about.."

    "I'm not revealing it here just yet. And go nuts--I don't predict anyone will discover this one for quite a while yet..."

    We're well on our way to March 2009, and still no discovery has been made...

    Seth doesn't seem like the kind of person to pull people's legs, I'm sure of it (especially after reading this). Are we not looking hard enough? Or has it been in plain site all this time and we've yet to notice it? What say you? Still eagerly awaiting it's discover?

    I would be very impressed if this eBay item sold for over 100 bucks. Why not? Here's your chance to open up the time loop for SKYNET again!

     

     

    Demonic NES cartridge

    This game is in poor condition. It was possessed by Satan and blown to pieces by Super Mecha Death Christ. This is the shattered remains of the actual stunt cartridge used in theAVGN: “The Wizard/Super Mario Bros 3″ episode. The game itself used for the destruction is Renegade, not Mario 3. Starting bid $6.66. Go to auction.
