Mega Man remakes announced for PSP
Capcom has confirmed that two classic Mega Man titles are being remade for the PSP. First up is Rockman Rockman (Japan), which is a remake of the original Mega Man for NES. The most obvious change is a 3D visual upgrade (see right)-looks like Capcom is going for the Blue Bomber bobblehead look-and the inclusion of Constructor mode. Constructor will allow players to create their own levels and trade them with their friends. Rockman Rockman will also feature new stages and boss battles.
The second Mega Man remake, Irregular Hunter X (Japan), is based on the SNES classic Mega Man X. Expect updated visuals, new stages, and unique modes of play. In addition, Mega Man will retain his more mature look from the original SNES game.
Irregular Hunter X is tentatively set for a March 30 release (in Japan), while Rockman Rockman will make an appearance at the Tokyo Game Show next week. So with that, does the prospect of games of yesteryear being remade for portable systems excite you?
