It Came from Capcom: Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters



Mega Man returns in Mega Man 2: The Power Fighters.

The game was originally released in the arcades as a Japan only title in 1996. It was later ported to consoles and made available in America as part of the Mega Man Anniversary Collection.

Power Battle's successor basically plays the same as its predecessor. The controls are the same and as you advance through the levels you gain a new boss ability.

It's a blast from the past as even more enemies and allies return in this awesome arcade adventure. Mega Man, Bass, and Proto Man return with Duo, a new playable character who first made his appearance in Mega Man 8.

It Came From Japan: New Mobile Report Gundam Wing Endless Duel


Based on the popular anime hit series Mobile Suite Gundam Wing, New Mobile Report Gundam Wing Endless Duel hit Japan for the SNES in the late 90’s. Sadly the game never made it across the states. We missed out on a great 2D Gundam game, luckily there are English patches out there if interested.

When starting the game you are greeted with a intro screen, playing one of the themes in classic 8 bit. Nostalgia will hit as you gaze upon the characters, and Mobile Suite Gundam.

The gameplay is similar to Marvel vs. Capcom in which your able to perform air combos, specials, and you can dash. It’s a really fun game that gets crazy the more you play. Giant robots, projectiles, and laser swords. 

What more could you ask for in a Gundam game?
