I've seen that quote tons of times but never with a name. Thank you.

Still don't know what the fuck happened to this guy, that barely anyone knows who he was. Weird.

Looks like he left Capcom with a couple others to form "Takeru" which folded in the 90's.

Helped develop one of the most rare NES carts to date. If he wasn't absorbed into Mitchell Corporation as the site suggests, he most likely faded into nothing after being a "one hit wonder" with Mega Man

Being that Inafune crafted the games I'd still consider him father of the series. Kamiya crafted Bayonetta but she herself was designed by another female artist.

Thing is, he didn't though. Kitamura crafted the gameplay, the pick your stage gimmick and everything else that made Megaman what he is today. Inafune was in the art department and did sprite work as well. Wasn't until 3 that he took over as the project leader and implemented his own major gameplay ideas. By then the groundwork was firmly established.

Not trying to take away from Inafune btw. He was involved in the series for a lot longer, and I'm fine with him getting the lion's share of credit for the series success.

I just think this other guy deserves some more credit, considering he typically gets none at all.

Also gonna take this oppurtunity to say if you have any love for the Megaman series, go buy MM25: Megaman & Megaman X complete works. It is the greatest love letter to Megaman fans ever put in print, and it's 400 pages of art work and developer comments about the titular series. It's where I found out about Inafune not actually being the creator.

Maybe Capcom took offense to him leaving, so they refused to acknowledge him and give Inafune the honors.

BLOW SHIT UP, SON

Multiplayer.

Or fuck off.

No.

Single player only

Or fuck off

You monkey you.

Single player should always come first. Multiplayer is bonus unless its an MMORPG. Even then I should be able to play it on my own if I want to solo shit.

I don't want multiplayer to come first, I just want it.

The legend about a landfill full of E.T. carts ended up being true. Microsoft sponsored the event after a different group managed to get permission for the dig recently.

I'll be damned.

Seriously thought this was gonna be Al Capone's Vault all over again.

I'm betting they could sell the damn things for a good price.

they better blow the dirt and whatever else out of them first :shifty:

Not enough air in anybody's lungs for that, though I would love them to attempt booting up a copy.

How long before they bury them all again?

They had to be somewhere I guess :-\

et was a great game!

Another story that might be interesting but only pure speculation at the moment involves several Yotube channels and/or at least one major Youtube gaming network (Yogscast) have started to demand a share of game sales revenue from developers. The basis appears to revolve around them believing they deserve to be compensated better for all the "free press" they have provided for developers and the belief they are more important for public appeal than the actual gaming press.

Amazing Spidey 2 is out on demand for $50.

Whats with the buzz about Spidey 2? Is there real physics for the webslinging or it it just him slinging from the clouds like in 1. I liked the first one but it was nothing special.

The video answers just that. Check it out, looks good.

Read something about them not getting the actor's licenses so the characters don't look right?

This is fucking retarded, if true.
