As a huge classic Mega Man fan, I wanted to talk a bit about the newest game in the series: Mega Man 10. I know it’s been out for over a month on WiiWare, but I downloaded the Xbox 360 version later on because, well no particular reason except I have MM9 on 360 as well. So here’s a blog with a quick mini-review of MM10, a rundown on the bosses, stages, and weapons, and my favorite classic Mega Man games in general.

In typical RPG fashion, they’ll meet up with other rag-tag adventurers and magicians who will join them as they end up saving the world in the process.
Nintendo has an online program called Club Nintendo, where you can register your games and consoles and fill out surveys on what you purchased. It’s probably just a clever marketing ploy to get gamers to help Nintendo keep track of sales, feedback, and other numbers. But the good thing is that nearly everything you do there earns you coins. And you can spend those coins on rewards. Most of these rewards I don’t have any interest in. Mario stationery, game case holders, playing cards? Nah. But when it comes to exclusive games you can only get through Club Nintendo, then I’m totally interested! So here are two quick reviews on the newest Club Nintendo exclusive games: Game & Watch Collection 2 and Grill-Off With Ultra Hand.
