Before Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and Street Fighter dominated Capcom’s lineup of video games, Mega Man was the company’s most successful franchise. It was 30 years ago in 1987, when we first caught a glimpse of the super robot Mega Man who immediately captured our hearts with his determination to fight the mad scientist, Dr. Wily. To celebrate this huge milestone as the franchise approaches its 30th year, Capcom has announced via a Twitch stream dedicated to Mega Man, that announced all future releases that includes a new game, and a re-release of beloved classics. Check out some of the images of the games from the Capcom Unity blog below:
Mega Man 11

Mega Man 11 is the next evolution in the long-running 32 million unit-selling action platformer series; featuring tight side-scrolling action gameplay the series is known for while completely revolutionizing the experience for modern consoles, retaining its signature challenge while offering a variety of difficulty options.
The classic series takes a leap forward in visual presentation in Mega Man 11 with a 2.5D design direction introducing beautiful, completely hand-drawn characters and environments. A freshly redesigned Mega Man takes on Dr. Wily’s berserk machines, defeating Robot Master bosses – including a mysterious new Robot Master – and taking their weapons, in an ever-evolving fight for justice with new and unique enemy designs.
But that’s not all..!
The anniversary celebrations don’t stop with the announcement of Mega Man 11. Throughout 2018, fans and newcomers to the franchise can look forward to revisiting some of the most noteworthy games in the series’ history.

What will gradually dawn on you about Heroes of the Monkey Tavern is what it doesn’t contain. No item wear; no exterior environments (in fact, very little variation in environments at all); no ammo counters; no gameplay variation; and no real story to speak of. It opens with a static painting of the titular tavern. Your silhouetted heroes are approached by a stranger, who speaks of a dungeon with untold treasures. Off you go, into the darkness.
Once down there, you will work your way up through a series of levels – seven floors and a boss level, all told – fighting a generic selection of fantasy enemies: orcs, skeletons, mummies, goblins etc. Your party is yours to choose, and once again the options are fantasy staples: warrior, ranger, priest, blah. Torchlight flickers on brownstone walls; competent, moody music summons hints of Howard Shore’s Two Towers score; secret walls slide...

It’s downright amazing that Skyrim is still going strong after all this time. Released back in 2011, Bethesda’s open-world RPG masterpiece set gamer’s imaginations aflame, and resonated with such significance, that many fell head over heels in love as if Cupid himself had unleashed a well-aimed arrow straight into their heart (or should I say “knee” — ahem).
Fast forward to 2017, and it’s a title that’s still doing surprisingly well with the release of this newly fangled Skyrim: Switch Edition as well as a Psvr version dropping shortly, too. Like the re-animated corpse of an ancient undead draugr, it’s a title that refuses to lay down and give up the ghost, which is great for those – like me – who consider the icy Nordic mountains of Skyrim as a sort of home away from home.

Headup Games have today announced they’re set to partner with Nicalis, Inc. on a physical release of Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap for Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 at major retailers in Europe as well as Australia/Nz. Headup Games and Nicalis are partnering with DotEmu for this retail release – so all of you out there who, like me, missed out on the Limited Run physical release can now grab a copy!
Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap is a beautifully drawn and animated remake of the unforgettable Sega Master System game Wonder Boy III. Cursed and turned into a half-human, half-lizard monstrosity by the Meka Dragon, our hero will have to explore the many traps of Monster Land in order to find a cure. The game’s developer, Lizardcube, reverse-engineered the original game in order to faithfully replicate the character movements, item drop logic, secret door locations and much more.

[Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers from Season 2 of “Stranger Things.”]
Matt and Ross Duffer have never hidden their inner cinephiles, and Season 2 of “Stranger Things” brings a slew of new homages to horror, action, and adventure films. On top of those are all the ’80s pop culture references essential when making a series set in that decade. Here’s an episode-by-episode breakdown of all the references and homages in the second season (sans music, which will be included in another post).

The film would have premiered two days before the events of the season begin, which happens to be October 28, 1984. “Ghostbusters” (1984) – The paranormal comedy would have premiered earlier that summer and inspired the main foursome’s Halloween costumes.

Director Rian Johnson Offers Up New Intel On Luke And Rey’s Relationship In Star Wars: The Last Jedi
“Luke Skywalker has vanished.”
As far as opening crawls go in the Star Wars universe, few compare to that of The Force Awakens, which began by placing Mark Hamill’s Jedi Master on the other side of the galaxy. In fact, it’s only during the closing moments of J.J. Abrams’ franchise revival that Luke re-emerges – no thanks to Daisy Ridley’s Rey and her quest to return that iconic Lightsaber to its rightful owner. And that’s where Star Wars: The Last Jedi begins.
Picking up where things left off on the far-flung planet of Ahch-To, The Last Jedi will see Rey begin her Jedi training under the watchful eye of Luke. But as writer-director Rian Johnson tells Good Morning America (via Screen Rant), Luke Skywalker’s lengthy absence will have huge ramifications for the story and his newfound relationship with Rey. He’s one of the greatest Jedis ever to have lived,...

Nearly four months after the launch of Switch, Nintendo’s system gets its first major first-party exclusive (let’s ignore 1-2 Switch) – and it’s a cracker. A cartoon one-on-one (or two-on-two) fighting game with stretchy limbs, bulging eyes, mad music and gibberish voices, it’s as colourful, accessible and unputdownable as anything the Kyoto gaming gods have created in the HD era.
Arms is essentially a ranged fighting game, more concerned with relative position and lateral movement than the complex move combos of Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Injustice et al. It better resembles elder brawlers like Power Stone and Virtual On, as well as more recent fare like Pokken Tournament.
Arms is quite hard to learn and very hard to master. But it’s inviting and different enough that you will want to learn. This is a game built around motion controls, and they feel natural and responsive. However, if you prefer a more sedentary session, standard controls are also available, even if they lack the nuance – and frankly the fun – of beating the imaginary hell out of your living room space.
Tilt both joy-cons sideways to sidestep and tilt them together to block; the shoulder buttons dash and jump respectively; and of course you punch to punch. But then it gets deeper. You’ll discover that blocking charges your fists, as does landing a jump. Punches can be curved, allowing you to dash behind scenery and attack unseen. And with every strike you are building a power bar, which when full can be unleashed in a furious flurry, the like of which E. Honda could only dream of.
The character art style lies somewhere between the heavily caricatured style of Overwatch and the alien weirdness of Splatoon. The female characters are marginally more interesting than their male counterparts, but everyone will have their favourite. Do you go for the dashing dexterity of tiny Min Min, with her ramen noodle arms? Or the brute force of the colossal Master Mummy, whose undead wrapping projects his fists? Personally, I’m partial to Ribbon Girl’s ability to dash multiple times in mid-air.
Ten characters (until the upcoming free Dlc is released, anyway) may look like slim pickings, but bear in mind that each character comes with a unique set of three arms, each of which has its specific benefits. It could be a standard boxing glove; a bird-shaped rocket for super-curved punches; or a giant mallet which is sluggish but will break through a block.
In terms of single player content, while we don’t get a proper story campaign like Splatoon, nor do we get a tacked-on mindless slog like Mario Tennis Ultra Smash. New players would be wise to play through the single-player Grand Prix tournaments with each character. This is a series of ten bouts: eight fights and two special games.
The specials are V-Ball (keepy-uppy with a ticking bomb), Skillshot (punch targets for the highest score) and Hoops (slamdunk your opponent). Alternatively, you can jump into a kind of endless mode, where you take part in a series of single bouts; the arms are randomised and the goal is to build a winning streak.
The main online features are Party and Ranked modes. The latter is not available until you have beaten the Grand Prix mode on level 4 (no mean feat for the beginner). Party mode is where the action is at for the regular player. This employs a wonderfully wacky lobby system, where you’re constantly shifting between randomised games, being paired with people depending on your skill level. In the meantime you can practice your strokes. It’s a great way of dealing with the natural downtime of the online experience.
Taking part in games awards points which can then be used to buy time in a further mini game, where you unlock the ability to mix and match arms – the purpose being that eventually you will have unlocked all arms for all characters. At this point (if you ever get there) you will have thousands of potential combinations. Admittedly, what distinguishes some of the arms is merely cosmetic. But more often the difference is stark, and it’s in the choice of weaponry that the game’s depth reveals itself. There is real joy in facing a loadout system which makes a genuine difference to the way you play.
Arms harnesses Nintendo’s hardware exquisitely – not just in terms of using the gyro controls of the joy-cons, but also in delivering rock solid 1080p/60fps action (720p in handheld, natch), even with two players. Any more players and the framerate is locked at 30.
It’s hard to say whether, with Arms, Nintendo have done for one-on-one fighting games what they did for racing games with Mario Kart. Time will tell. (My instinct is that it will be a gradual hit, as more and more people realise that “motion control” needn’t always be synonymous with compromise.) But for now this is a gloriously vibrant, playable, and wonderfully original new IP.

E3 is an exciting time of year for all types of gamers as the show expands into many different categories. Mobile gamers can be excited for new social interactions, and maybe even some new hardware, and of course hardcore gamers can see what the next few years have for them. Here at Cinelinx we are excited for our own reasons and well, we can’t wait to tell you why. Want to know what’s got us excited? Find out after the jump!
Dustin:
Last year, overall, E3 was kind of a dull moment for many reasons. Sure we got a glimpse into Microsoft’s future with Project Scorpio, after the promised they wouldn’t be doing that, but they kind of forgot to bring the unit with them. Sony had a stellar opening showcase and showed off many games, but a majority of them are still unreleased, and undated.

There’s no greater debate at this year’s Cannes Film Festival than the raging battle between the supremacy of theatrical releases and the possibilities of Netflix. Caught in the middle are films like “Okja” and “The Meyerowitz Stories,” bowing at the festival in advance of their digital prmieres. But one key point is often missing from this conversation — the ability for Netflix to give filmmakers the autonomy they want.
Case in point: “Okja” helmer Bong Joon Ho, who credits the streaming platform with committing to financing his outrageous tale of a girl and her super pig — which features an all-star cast and stellar special effects — on his own terms. After all, he knows what it’s like when his creative freedom is at stake.
On his last film, 2014’s “Snowpiercer,” the director clashed repeatedly with U.S. distributor Harvey Weinstein on his cut of the film. Before “Snowpiercer” bowed at the Berlin Film Festival,...

Nintendo just wrapped up their Nintendo Switch Nindies broadcast, which unveiled a ton of indie games coming to the Switch in staggerd releases. Come inside to learn more!
Today's Nintendo Nindies broadcast was meant to serve as a method of promoting Nintendo's effort to support 3rd party and indie developers. We've known for some time that Nintendo had begun working with these devs, mainly with the shots of Bethesda's Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim being on the announcement video. However, we couldn't have guessed that the new mobile console will home over 60 exclusive/timed exclusive indie titles.
Now, most of the titles are relatively unknown and won't be coming out until long after the Switch's March 3rd release. Although, there are still a few, like Team 17 and Playtonic Games' Yooka Laylee, known games that will be worth buying on the Nintendo eShop.
Despite the indie titles/devs being mostly unknown,...

The world of film-related books has been dominated by Star Wars for the last two years, and that’s not a bad thing. With insightful authors like Pablo Hidalgo and gorgeous efforts like Star Wars: Galactic Maps, there has never been a better time to be force-crazed. This month is no exception, but you’ll also find new releases about Hitchcock, the Marx Brothers, and even two involving X-Files prequels. Let’s start with a book that took on new relevance just weeks after its release.
The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher (Blue Rider Press)
Carrie Fisher’s The Princess Diarist, a hilarious and touching look at her life as Star Wars icon Princess Leia, was a must-read even before the sudden, shocking passing of its author in December. It is even more poignant now. While the book earned pre-release buzz over its revelation of an on-set affair with Harrison Ford,...

Disgaea 5 Complete, a port that includes all content released as Dlc for the original PlayStation 4 version, is headed for Nintendo Switch, publisher Nis America has confirmed.
Slated for launch sometime in spring, the strategy RPG tells the story of Killia, an adolescent demon that seeks to put an end to the reign of Void Dark, a miscreant that desires to enslave everything stood in his path. As it’s become known for, Disgaea 5 continues the off-beat humor of previous entries in the series, with Nis promising a story of equal parts hilarity and strategy. If you passed up on the Dlc for the PS4 version, Complete includes the eight bonus scenarios, four characters and three character classes released as such, all neatly wrapped up in a special Switch-exclusive Limited Edition (below).

“Don’t Judge a Book by Its Cover” is a proverb whose simple existence proves the fact impressionable souls will do so without fail. This monthly column (with a special year-end retrospective today) focuses on the film industry’s willingness to capitalize on this truth, releasing one-sheets to serve as not representations of what audiences are to expect, but as propaganda to fill seats. Oftentimes they fail miserably.
2016 wasn’t just a great year for films — the posters advertising them were quite fantastic too. That’s not to say we weren’t inundated at the multiplex with character sheets spanning Disney cartoon and photo-real superheroes to boring portraits on loud backgrounds, though. It was simply easier to ignore them.

Aquaman will serve as both Patrick Wilson’s third superhero movie (if you count a voice cameo in Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice) and his fifth film with director James Wan, all within this past decade. While we still don’t have too many details on his role in the upcoming flick, the actor has revealed that he thinks now is the perfect time to make an Aquaman movie.
Though Wilson won’t play the titular superhero, he’ll play his half-brother Orm, a.k.a. the Ocean Master and is said to have a large role. Like most moviegoers though, the Watchmen star admitted that he wasn’t all that familiar with the character before being cast, but it wasn’t due to a lack of interest. It was simply because the titular hero hadn’t really been brought to the big screen before.

One trend in the Oscar race this year seems to be films that are about recent events. This, of course, is not a new fad in cinema as hot-button topics have always lent themselves to being a solid jumping-off point for storytelling on the big screen. A few of the films grabbing attention this time around — Sully and Patriots Day for best picture as well as a few others from various categories — tackle some of the biggest recent events and narratives in recent memory.
Sully, directed by Clint Eastwood and starring Tom Hanks, tells the story of Chesley Sullenberger and the Miracle on the Hudson involving Us Airways Flight 1549 from January 15, 2009. This real-life event centers around a flight from New York City’s Laguardia Airport to Charlotte Douglas International Airport was forced to land in the...

Maggie Smith's Dowager Countess may have gotten the last word on "Downton Abbey" as a series, but we don't really have to say farewell, do we?
Oh, good! Thankfully, hope lives on that we may revisit the Crawleys and company in a movie and/or spinoff series. Creator and executive producer Julian Fellowes and executive producer Gareth Neame shared plans with Variety in a story posted after last night's series finale.
The finale had happy endings all around, including for poor put-upon Edith, who ended up getting married and outranking everyone in the family. As Neame put it, "Mary hates that her sister has trumped her. The rest of the family thinks it's quite amusing and well deserved. It's really interesting to imagine what Edith's future might be. Maybe we'll see that if there's a movie."
Yes, a movie! It's not just wishful thinking to imagine Downton on the big screen,...

DC's Legends of Tomorrow has cast Martin Donovan as Rip Hunter's Time Master Academy mentor, Druce. Donovan played Mithcell Carson in Marvel Studios' Ant-Man. In DC Comics lore, Rip Hunter's mentor is Booster Gold, who is ultimately revealed to be Hunter's father (time travel means you can meet your father and be older than he is!). However, it appears that Legends of Tomorrow is going a different route. Is this retcon an indication that Booster Gold is a character that's off the table for Dctv? Are there plans for the character in the Dceu? IGN reports, "Druce is a respected member of the time council who was Rip's first mentor at the Time Master Academy.

Who doesn't love a good fan theory? Sometimes it's not enough to take movies at face value. Sometimes you have to read between the lines, employ a little out-of-the-box thinking and make connections between characters or events that no one ever expected. A lot of fan theories sound like utter nonsense, but sometimes they make so much sense you find yourself wishing they were true.
Between the various movies, TV shows, comics, novels and other media, the "Star Wars" franchise has attracted its fair share of fan theories over the years. As we wait these last few weeks for "The Force Awakens," we've selected seven Star Wars fan theories that are so convincing we can't help but wonder if they might be true.

There's already one Time Master confirmed to appear on The CW's Legends of Tomorrow but executive producer Marc Guggenheim just dropped a major cool clue that a second Time Master may also appear. Arthur Darvill's Rip Hunter is a Time Master, a member of a group of heroes who patrol the time stream to thwart those who corrupt or alter the main timeline for personal or evil reasons. Another member is Will Magnus, famed DC Comics scientist whose most noteworthy accomplishment was the creation of the Metal Men - artificially intelligent robots, named and based on various periodic elements including Iron, Gold, Platinum, Tin, Mercury and Lead. The roster of the Time Masters has changed during various times but notable members include Hunter, Booster Gold, Dr. Fate, Magnus, Cave Carson and others.

Hey Dance fans! The "landmark 20th season" and 10th year of "Dancing with the Stars" has begun, and it already looks like some fierce competition. Many strong and surprising dancers hide among the twelve new contestants, and the weak links are only moderately weak. No Master Ps, Lolo Joneses, or Michael Waltrips here this season, thank goodness. But why do they bother making Derek Hough go through the motions of competing when they're going to pair him up with former Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin? Seems like a shoo-in. But who knows, she could be terrible. It's unlikely, but anything is possible.
Lots of the pairings seem the same as in past seasons though. Tony Dovolani is again placed with an older competitor, while Mark Ballas is with the young one; Derek is with the ringer again, and Val with the surprising unknown talent. Fortunately, Peta is again paired with someone...

From Gone Girl's Tanner Bolt to the ladies of Pride, James lists a few more of 2014's supporting characters who deserve their own movie...
Look at the calendar and you'll see that time is marching on and moving us ever deeper into the deep, bleak midwinter. Christmas is coming and then the New Year will be hitting us, and such concurrent happenings are liable to combine and make some folk get all reflective. "'Tis the season to be pensive," as the old carol says.
It's at this time of year that people start to glance in the rearview mirror and ruminate on what's happened over the course of the past twelve months. Focusing specifically on cinema, it's time to think on the Film Year 2014 and make some lists. Movie fans need to decide which blu-rays they want as Christmas presents so they can write it down in a list to post to Santa.

You can figure out everything you need to know about the big-screen version of the dazzling, Tony Award-winning musical Jersey Boys from the opening studio logos alone. A familiar piano cue from The Four Seasons’ catchy classic “December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)” plays over greying silver studio logos. In other words, you are going to get the electrifying pop staples but over a drab, lifeless execution. Director Clint Eastwood is no stranger to music, as he worked as a composer on many of his most recent films, but Jersey Boys is one musical adaptation that he should have left alone.
Jersey Boys is probably the most beloved of all of the jukebox musicals that blended the lights of Broadway with the biggest pop hits of yesteryear. In the stumble to the big screen, though, the behind-the-music story about how some delinquent boys growing up just outside of Newark became one...

Dark Water
By Steven Moffat
Directed by Rachel Talalay
Deciding to come clean with her boyfriend Danny, Clara begins to bear all to him over the phone, only to have the call, and his life, cut short as Danny is struck fatally by a passing car. Clara passes through the five stages of grief off camera, and advances to step six – Plan To Get Him Back. She attempts to threaten The Doctor into saving him, but learns quickly that it’s not necessary. As they arrive in a bizarre mausoleum, Danny awakens on the other side of the equation, in the same office where we’ve seen several people arrive, having it explained to him that he’s dead. The Doctor and Clara are told a wild...

Ghosts, ghouls, vampires, demons—they've been frightening kids for centuries, and with good reason. But children's brains are strange, malleable places that can perceive even the most unassuming figures—a cute, helpful Jedi Grand Master, a cuddly elephantine creature, a precocious baby dinosaur—as sinister agents of terror. Which brings us to today's Halloween-inspired PopWatch Confessional: What's the unintentionally scary thing that frightened you most when you were a kid? (Bonus: Reading through is a great way to stealthily learn how old we all are.) Ashley Fetters, online news editor: I was about eight when I saw the original...

It's a grim pattern, familiar enough that it's even gotten the Hollywood treatment: Eric Lawson, an actor who played the Marlboro Man in cigarette ads during the late '70s, died on Jan. 10 of a smoking-related illness - at least the fifth Marlboro Man to pass away from such circumstances. Lawson, an actor and model who had smoked since age 14, died of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at the age of 72. Like other former Marlboro Men, he turned against tobacco later in life, speaking out against smoking on Entertainment Tonight and in an anti-cigarette PSA, though he did not give up...

Give it up for Good Morning America anchor Robin Roberts, who publicly thanked “my family, my longtime girlfriend Amber, and my friends” on Facebook after going through a bone marrow transplant. Congrats to the Espn vet for coming out to fans and the Facebook-savvy public! To celebrate, let’s discuss our favorite female news-reporting characters from TV and film. I’ve squeezed in a print journalist for the sake of her glamor. Please forgive that.
1. Gale Weathers (Courteney Cox): Scream‘s curt correspondent with the poison pen
As much as I love Scream, Gale Weathers elevates the franchise from “quippy horror romp” to “fabulously quippy horror romp.” She writes callously about the Woodsboro murders, brags to Sidney Prescott about the sales of her book (which is about Sidney’s mother’s death), and even totes a gun. “Guess I didn’t forget the safety that time, you bastard,” she deadpans.

Jennifer Holliday is undeniably one of RampB and Broadway's greatest voices. Endowed with a commanding and irresistible voice, immeasurable range and artistry that few can rival, Holliday has long stood in a class by herself. The dynamic songstress' now legendary show-stopping, heart-wrenching performance of the torch ballad And I'm Telling You, I'm Not Going in the smash hit Broadway musical, Dreamgirls, made her a household name and introduced her big soulful voice to the world. Her portrayal of Effie Melody White, a role she co-created, not only brought theatergoers to their feet for eight performances a week, but also garnered her a Tony-Award for Best Actress in a Musical and her first Grammy-Award for Best RampB Female Vocalist. From Broadway to major TV appearances including Ellen, Ally McBeal and Touched By An Angel and half-a-dozen soundtrack credits, Jennifer Holliday is one of the most distinctive, enviable and revered voices in modern music.

Want to see the game industry's Fmv pat exposed? Maybe take a look back at some odd licensed titles that make less and less sense the more you think about them (ahem "Alf")? Then why not join a few of your fellow video game fans at the Cinefamily next Wednesday, August 14 for Most Outrageous Games, part of their Everything is Festival IV.
Here's the Cinefamily rundown of the event:
Plug in, put on your Power Glove and hold on to your heart capsules, because we’re blowing the dust off the craziest cartridges, most deranged discs and buggiest little-known consoles ever to jiggle your joysticks. Take a nostalgic stroll through an 8-bit wonderland of early gaming breakthroughs and experiments. Thrill to a montage of the outrageous kills that shocked a generation of parents. Cringe at the most uncomfortably “sexy” games this side of the uncanny valley,...

Is it just me, or does it feel like that the world's rapidly being overtaken by arrogant, boorish loudmouths? Switch on the telly or the radio, and there they are, bellowing at the tops of their lungs about some totally pointless subject. Walk into a pub or restaurant, there they are again, hollering like Billy-o while quaffing copious amounts of booze. Even a simple chill-out in the garden turns into a chore when you hear the distant yelling of yet another bozo.
Possibly, they've gone deaf. More likely, they just like the sound of their own voices. In addition to the annoyance factor, there's also the problem of pushing quieter sorts to one side – people who probably have more personality and charisma in their little fingers, but lack the confidence to pipe up. This conundrum is played out in the latest escapade of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, an adventure called Out Of Mind,...
