Megaman On the Cover of Nintendo Power !!

NintendoPower-Mag-01

Get your weapons ready! The latest issue of Nintendo Power features some mega news — specifically, the upcoming release of Mega Man 10 on WiiWare.

Keiji Inafune (Capcom’s Managing Corporate Officer, Head of Research & Development Management Group and Online Business, Father of Mega Man, Dead Rising and more!) just happened to be in the Capcom US office today as they received the latest issue of Nintendo Power featuring the one and only Mega Man!

NintendoPower-Mag-02

The new installment, like the brilliant Mega Man 9, uses an NES-style aesthetic, and features wacky new bosses like Sheep Man. Sheep Man! Proto Man returns as a playable character (this time immediately, and not as time-delayed DLC), along with a third mystery character! The extra character’s identity: just one of the details, like the release date or whether or not it’s on other platforms, that we’re just going to have to wait to find out.

There will also be a much NEEDED Easy Mode for the game, which we can imagine being welcome for a lot of people not accustomed to the uniquely painful experience of trying to complete an NES Mega Man title.

Info from Major Nelson’s Blog :

A few moments ago we’ve released an update to the Twitter, Facebook and Last.FM applications on Xbox LIVE for all Xbox LIVE countries except for the US.  With this update, as promised, if you have a child account and you get parental approval, you’ll be able to have access to these applications. At this point, all Non-US Accounts should have access to them at this time. If you have a child account in the U.S., you will receive this update on December 15th, when these applications will appear in your Xbox 360 dashboard. Be sure to set Automatically log in or Remember me when setting up the application for the first time, otherwise you will be prompted for parental permission every time you launch the application.

Thanks for your patience as we worked to develop the best solution to ensure that we are able to offer an age-appropriate environment for everyone on Xbox LIVE.

Pandemic Studios Launches The Saboteur

TheSaboteur-01

Premium Download Pack ‘The Midnight Show’ Available Now

Pandemic Studios, a studio of EA, today announced that the open world action sandbox game The Saboteur is available today. As the game hits store shelves today, console players can download a free* content pack (DLC) called ‘The Midnight Show’. The sexy pack unlocks a V.I.P room at the game’s cabaret ‘The Belle de Nuit’ including several sultry cinematics, unveils an all-new mini-game, and unlocks five seedy hiding spots in Paris. The downloadable content also gives players the ability to unlock nudity in the game, allowing them to make their own choice regarding the game’s maturity. All new console copies of The Saboteur contain a single use download code for ‘The Midnight Show’ redeemable through the game on Xbox LIVE Marketplace and PlayStation Store. Owners of the PC version will have automatic access ‘The Midnight Show’ without an additional download. For console players who wish to buy the ‘The Midnight Show’ DLC pack as a stand-alone download, they may do so on Xbox LIVE for 240 MSFT points and for $2.99 at the PlayStation Store.

The Saboteur is unlike any other WWII action game. It paints a picture of Nazi-occupied Paris that is corrupt, riddled with danger and more than a little sexy. ‘The Midnight Show’ DLC takes all of this edginess to the next level, but in an authentic, organic way,” said Nick Earl, Senior Vice President and Group General Manager at Electronic Arts. “This feels like the Director’s Cut of the game. We’re very proud to have the opportunity to deliver this alternate experience with a DLC pack that is so polished and robust.”

The Saboteur is set in World War II France and takes players through the seedy underbelly of Paris as hero Sean Devlin sets off on a revenge mission. Inspired by a true story, The Saboteur stars Sean Devlin who, motivated by personal revenge, fights, climbs, and races through open-world Paris, sneaking into the heart of the Nazi operations and sabotaging their every move. With the help of the French Resistance, the British intelligence, an arsenal of weaponry, street smarts and brawn, players will exact revenge on those who get in his way. From derailing trains and blowing up zeppelins to scaling famous Parisian landmarks, this action hero uses a broad range of weapons, explosives and vehicles to get the job done.

As Sean takes down enemies, the citizens of Paris are empowered to resist the tyrannical Third Reich and their eyes open to the colorful world around them. This innovative mechanic, called the ‘Will to Fight,’ will change the way Paris is seen and felt – from a dark and oppressed policed state to a bright and inspired world where the citizens fight back. As the player executes acts of sabotage against the occupying force, color returns to the stylized black and white world – both figuratively and literally.

The Saboteur is available for the PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system, the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system, and the PC and is rated “M for Mature” by the ESRB and “18+”by PEGI.  For more information on The Saboteur, please visit the Official Website or get the latest news on Twitter at pandemicstudios.
