Platformer fans must be happy to see a rivival of a great series, and better yet it is going to retain a traditional 2D gameplay style along with hand drawn graphics. Sure the game will have plenty on remote shaking action, if that wasn’t apparent from the title already, but since it is being made [...]

According to the latest Nintendo Power magazine Mega Man 9 will be appearing on Nintendo Wii’s WiiWare service.

Fun fact: available as a download through Xbox Live Arcade
I have an admission: I have not played the original Prince of Persia, at least not past the first couple of levels. I just couldn’t get past those awkward controls and unforgiving animations. It frustrated me to no end that the Prince can’t jump in [...]
