Re: We Could Be Getting A New Version Of NES Cult Classic Shatterhand

And finally, we had to wait 34 long years to finally enjoy a remake of this wonderful game, in my opinion the best ever made for the NES (forgive me for Shadow of the Ninja and Batman Return of the Joker).
For those who don't know, Natsume had programmed Shatterhand and was going to release it in Japan and America, BUT Angel, which held the license for the Solbrain series, commissioned Natsume to make a game based on the series. Natsume modified the Shatterhand game, and as a result, a "different" version was released in Japan, while in America, we had the game in its purest form.
I knew the rights were held by Jaleco, but with its demise or due to expiration dates, they returned to Natsume around 2009, although they never made it public. With luck, they only released a compilation album with all the songs from Natsume's most well-known franchises (including Shatterhand).
Even so, it's sad that those of us who loved this game had to wait a lifetime to finally enjoy a remake.

Re: Mega Man's 1994 Animated Series Is Getting The Definitive Home Release Fans Have Been Waiting For

This series is truly awful. Mega Man's design reminded me a lot of Popeye, and the animation style was very Hanna-Barbera (meaning the artists were working without motivation just to keep up and save money).
I'm far ahead of the OVAs that came out in Japan several years ago, needless to say it surpasses the series in every way and in fact it deserved to be released on Blu-ray.
