Mega Man and Monster Hunter bundled up for PSP
It might be shortsighted to buy UMD-based PSP games so close to the launch of the PlayStation Vita, but these new deals from Capcom may still tempt you, especially if you're budget-conscious enough to wait on the Vita anyway. The publisher has bundled some of its most popular PSP games into $14.99 "dual packs," one containing Mega Man Maverick Hunter X and Mega Man Powered Up, and another containing Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and Freedom 2. You'll have to brave entering a GameStop for these, as they're exclusive to that retailer. Well, we suppose you could "brave" its website from the relative safety of your home, too.
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?
