“Mega May” continues with a double-dose of classic GB goodness! Today you can grab both Mega Man II AND Mega Man III, with even more on the way each Thursday this month.
I wrote about Mega Man II last month , but the tl;dr version is that it combines elements of the NES 2, adds new Wily content and uh, Quint!
Mega Man III follows the trend by mixing NES 3 and 4 into something new. Once you best Snake Man and his MM3 pals, you’re introduced to Punk…
…and then have to tackle MM4 bosses like Skull, Drill and Dive Man. Even if you know the NES version by heart, it’s a great re-imagining that plays with your expectations.
Aw yeah, we’ve got another Throwback Thursday double-feature today, and these two are some oldies .
First, tune in to Twitch at 3:30pm PT for a brief but informative stream of the Gameboy classic, Mega Man III, which launched today on the Nintendo 3DS eShop alongside Mega Man II!
Then, stay tuned at 4pm PT for our main feature–the NES “sleeper” hit Little Nemo: The Dream Master. They sure don’t make ’em like this anymore.
If you want to hunt down a Barroth, you should consider bringing cleansers and either water or fire based weapons… If you want this lovely keychain, however,…
…you need to enter today’s raffle ; only 300 points per ticket. Live till this Friday.
Prov Drummer is topping the 360 charts for the RE Revelations Killcount Challenge , but you’ve still got time to make your move! Log in to ResidentEvil.net with your Unity account by May 12 for a chance to win this Chainsaw Ganado figure…
Last week Prov hopped into our live stream so we know the dedication is there… but PC player wangyong has an even higher total. Question is… is wangyong using his Unity login to be eligible for the figure? :3

UPDATE: Just as I was struggling through that ridiculously hard level, we got the news that the first free map pack is now live! Look out for an updated that will include the Alpha Pack when you boot up your game. Let’s Dust!
Time for more Monster Hunter Freedom Unite ! Tune in today at twitch.tv/capcomunity starting at 3pm PT for some monster hunting!
For those that would like to hunt we us (multiplayer hunting is HIGHLY encouraged!), we’ll be on Adhoc Party’s World A Lobby 01 . If you don’t already have Adhoc Party on your PS3, you can only claim it via this link and then download it on you PS3. It doesn’t show up on the PS3 store otherwise.
Today’s raffle is another game soundtrack… with a twist!
Taking us back to the 80s, this classic beat-’em-up soundtrack stays true to its time and nostalgia appeal by being delivered in a cassette tape format!
I imagine most of us don’t even have a means to play this anymore, so the easy 300 Unity points may get you nothing more than a rad collector’s display item for any Final Fight and/or Magic Sword fan – it’s even SEALED!
But since we still want to enjoy the music with our ears, you can download the full OST for FREE right here: www.finalfightgame.com/remix
Click here to start bidding; you’ve got till Wednesday.
That game has some pretty grand music; so here’s a change to win the Official Soundtrack for the original Dragon’s Dogma:
All you have to do is head to raffle page (300 Unity points per ticket) until Monday May 5th… and hey! I’ll even throw in a little Dragon’s Dogma screen wipe for free so we can boost some affinity; how about that?
The Bitterblack insanity continues today, starting at 3:30pm PT on Twitch ! Chills, spills, and SO MANY terrible monsters await on that wretched little isle we all know and love.
Come cheer us on! Also, starting today I will be recruiting community pawns!
If you have a Main Pawn you think will help me on my journey, let me know your PSN ID here or in the Twitch chat and I’ll try it out! Just be aware that if it becomes a liability, I may switch the Pawn out for another one.
So as not to leave out Xbox 360 players, we will begin alternating between PS3 and 360 versions of the game each week, first continuing with the PS3 version today, then switching to 360 next week, and so on.
Meanwhile, we also now have some awesome goodies to give away on these streams moving forward.
Just when you thought we’d announced all the new features going into Ultra Street Fighter IV, we decided to throw in a couple more that we think you’ll be quite excited about, and hopefully enjoy using.
First up is the Training Mode Fight Request feature. This allows you to practice in Training Mode whilst you wait for new challengers online. No more sitting in lobbies, or completing Arcade Mode over and over, stay warmed up and practice combos in between online matches!
Secondly, have you ever been playing offline with your friends and wished you were able to go back and watch a replay of a particular match? Well now you can, with the Offline Battle Log! Once enabled, your offline matches will be automatically archived, and you can replay them back like you would with your favourite online matches.
Combined with our previously announced ‘Upload to YouTube’ feature, you’ll be able to share your most exciting and proud moments with viewers all around the world, whether the match happened online, or offline!
I personally feel this is also going to be a great tool for tournament organisers, as they’ll be able to access direct feed footage of great matches that happen off stream, which otherwise remain unseen by the vast majority.
Let me know what you think of these features on Twitter @dawgtanian
In the (Lego) world of Monster Hunter, everything is awesome…
… everything is cool when you’re part of a team… of four hunters taking down majestic beasts! Or something like that. Just enjoy these lovely minimalistic renditions of the Deviljho (above), Rathalos , Barroth and Barioth , by CommNagrom :
Awesome, right? Just like I said…
Anyways, check out CommNagrom’s gallery for more shots of these masterfully built monsters from different angles. =)
Today, on a very special Throwback Thursday, we’ll be throwing it back not once, but twice, to two different games, from two different points in time.
Tune into Twitch at 3pm PT and catch the stylish action classic Devil May Cry (HD), to be followed immediately afterward at 4pm PT by Mega Man Xtreme (Gameboy Color).
Remember: Devil May Cry HD Collection is currently on sale on PSN , while Mega Man Xtreme launched today on the 3DS eShop!
