Capcom’s Hideaki Itsuno wants to make a new Power Stone on Nintendo Switch

by


If you were a SEGA Dreamcast fanatic back when the console launched, you probably got to try Capcom’s Power Stone which became one of the consoles best party fighting games. Since both Power Stone games came out on the Dreamcast, the franchise has been mostly dead save for a port on the PSP of the first two games with some extras. But now the Guardian spoke with Capcom game designer Hideki Itsuno about the creation of the game (its turning 20 years old next month!).

Here he talks about the idea of making a Power Stone 3:

“I still get messages from fans about the game. People tweet requests to me to make another Power Stone, which I’d love to do if I got the chance. It would be a particularly great fit for the Nintendo Switch.”

I implore you to check out the great write up by Keith Stuart over on the Guardian, a great nostalgic read and has some nice insight into the development of the game. While we are add it, can we get another Project Justice/Rival Schools as well?

SEGA’s survey asks fans about possible Sonic crossover games

During SEGA’s survey, they had a interesting bit where they asked fans what Sonic crossover games people were interested in. Franchises/companies included: Adventure Time, My Little Pony, Pixar, Capcom, Looney Toons, Disney, Nintendo, and of course Dragon Ball Z. I think its safe to say that Sonic the Hedgehog fans will find all these franchises appealing one way or another.

Here is the screenshot of the question:
3070658-1I’m 100% OK with Sonic crossover games, as long as they are handled with more care than we have seen with their Sonic & Mario At the Olympic Games titles. Can we not make them some low budget mini games compilation? That would be great.

What franchises would you like to see Sonic the Hedgehog crossover with? Let us know in the comments below.

Project X Zone 2 drops price to under $20 bucks!

by

custom_project_x_zone_2_wallpaper_by_kirby_kid-d995008Namco’s Project X Zone 2 just came out a few months ago and its already dropping below $20 on Amazon. Last I checked, it was around $17! As I’ve been playing Project X Zone 2 on and off the last month, I can tell you its worth the price of entry just for all the great SEGA cameos. Not only that, Namco fixed up most of the complaints I had with the first one and best of all it has its own self contained story. Did I mention Segata Sanshiro is in it?

If you already have a copy of Project X Zone 2 for the Nintendo 3DS, what did you think of it? If you don’t, is this a suitable price drop to pick it up? Let us know.

Project X Zone removed from North America & Europe Nintendo eShop

by

projectxzone

For reasons unknown, the digital version of Project X Zone has been removed from the Nintendo eShop. Starting around 2012 games produced for the system typically sport a retail and digital version, with a few exceptions that are retail exclusive or vise versa. Typically the digital version would need to be loaded into an SD card, but the main benefit of choosing digital is slightly faster loading times, the convenience of not switching 3DS game cards, and the option to re-download the game at any given time.
