CAPCOM ANNOUNCES MEGA MAN UNIVERSETM
Legendary Capcom® Developer Hints at Next Evolutionary Step for the Mega Man® Series
SAN MATEO, Calif. — July 16, 2010 — Capcom Entertainment, Inc., a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced that Mega Man UniverseTM is coming to Xbox LIVE® online entertainment network and PlayStation®Store. Mega Man Universe, the latest entry in Capcom’s long-running Mega Man® series, will be a revolutionary take on the seminal classic, setting course for a new chapter in classic gaming.
Mega Man games are beloved by fans all over the world. Since their debut in 1987, Mega Man has remained a videogame icon, having starred in more than 140 titles over the last 22 years. The connection he’s made with pop culture at large has extended beyond games and into cartoons, toys, clothing, comics, kid’s meals, and more. Part of that popularity is driven by the series’ ability to evolve over time yet consistently retain the addictive gameplay experience that sets Mega Man games apart.
For the next chapter in this legacy of excellence, Capcom aims to deliver the most creative Mega Man experience yet. In Mega Man Universe, imagination is the star of the game.
“We are thrilled to finally be able to announce Mega Man Universe,” said Kenji Inafune, Head of Research and Development Management for Capcom Entertainment. “This game will break the mold and challenge the conventional wisdom of what a Mega Man game can be. When fans finally get to see it, I believe they’ll envision their most far-out Mega Man dreams coming true.”
Inafune is committed to helping craft a Mega Man experience that meets the highest expectations of Capcom fans. Most recently Mega Man® 10 echoed this fact when its classic design and compelling gameplay made it one of the most sought after digital downloads of the year. Gamers can expect Mega Man Universe to bring the core experience fans want while delivering on the promise of innovation that Capcom is known for. Its official: classic gaming will never be same again.

But yeah, I can't really say I'm THAT looking forward to this even so. It's probably not going to be canon, and whenever they try radically new stuff like this, it always gets fans a tad anxious. Granted, I'm not deciding anything yet, but it definitely doesn't interest me as much as an 8-bit MegaMan 11 or a 16-bit MegaMan X9 :-??

My guess is a LittleBigPlanet-style crossover game with Megaman. Sounds fun. :-??That sounds...
Really fricken awesome.
If that were the case, I'd be more then welcome to try it.

"Mega Man Universe is not the only game starring the Blue Bomber currently in the works. There's at least one more, and Inafune said it was a project people had requested for quite a while. That brought scattered calls for Mega Man Legends 3 from the crowd, to which Inafune simply responded, "Thank you."

Quote from: http://kotaku.com/5594213/the-father-of-mega-man-explains-mega-man-universe
The concept of Mega Man Universe, Inafune says, "came from the idea of what Mega Man is and what it means to [different people]." Whether you started playing the series when Mega Man 2 was released or whether you start with the Mega Man X series, Inafune says "Everyone has a unique idea of what Mega Man is."More info. Multiple playable characters, cool. Starting to sound more and more like that LBP-style game or a bigger version of MM:Powered Up. :(|)
That may help explain guest appearances from other Capcom games, including Street Fighter's Ryu and Ghosts 'n' Goblins hero Arthur. Other versions of Mega Man will be featured in the game, including that "crappy version of Mega Man from the original cartridge," a character featured in the teaser trailer.
Inafune hopes that the ability to play as different characters outside of the Mega Man mythos will encourage creativity in players and that Universe will "unite Mega Man fans from around the planet to play together in one place." While Capcom didn't show any gameplay during the panel, Inafune said they're working hard to have something to show soon.

lol, I would love nothing more than Legends 3 to be made, but I don't think its going to happen. I mean they never brought over the psp ports of the first 2 games, nor brought them to psOne Classics and they've had more than enough time to do so. Capcom would rather tease people by making the Servbot cameo in games that have nothing to do with MML like Dead Rising 1 & 2, Lost Planet 2, and SFvsT than to go out and actually make MML3. I mean it could happen. They've proven anything can happen with the new versus games that came out, but they've waited far too long. This generation doesn't even know what MML is unless they found out via Tat vs Cap.
As for MM Universe, idk, it looks too Robot Chicken-ish for me to take seriously, I'm just in a wait n see mode for this game.

I for one want improvement and although they have taken many missteps with the megaman franchise they have also done some great things like the megaman zero series or the gameplay in command mission and x8 (although they both had pretty bad stories). Hell even battle network had its charm, until they started milking it like pokemon that is. So they do have the potential at capcom.
So yeah thats what i was expecting and why i feel dissapointed. my two cents.
Post by: Spidermew on September 04, 2010, 09:07:21 AM
I expected a bit of innovation and certainly something that would at least try to match new gen games (even if its just dlc). Instead i got yet another "old school" megaman game with exchangable skins beacause those cant even be called different characters. Sure these games were fun, i too am a huge megaman fan but they keep feeding us the same thing expecting the same hardcore fans to keep buying them, the "artbox" megaman tells us just how niche this game is.

I bet there is going to be more too it. They showed Ryu doing that spin kick, I bet Ryu will fight like Ryu, combos for moves and everything. They've barely given us a taste of what its going to be like. I wouldnt get totaly dissapointed yet.

Mega Man Universe Details From PAX
A handful of Mega Man Universe info just hit the web thanks to PAX attendees from The Mega Man Network. Mainfinger and Gelg had some time to chat in up with a Capcom rep about the game, exposing several details in the process. A quick summary of the info below:
-Subtle implication that there's more than one type of play style; trailers only showed the "tip of the iceberg."
-Customization is a big part of the game. Capcom rep. strongly hinted at a stage editor of sorts.
-Ryu, as well as the three Mega Man variants, are confirmed as playable characters. Hints of a large roster of playable characters.
-Not only do the three Mega Men differ in appearance (Mega Man, Bad Box Art Mega Man and Rockman), they each have their own play styles and abilities. Bad Box Art Mega Man, for instance, can fire two shots at a time.
-The "angry" Mega Man was designed by Masafumi Kimoto. Why is he so angry? That's just Kimoto's style, apparently.
-Although the trailers made it seem like MMU is largely influenced by Mega Man 2, there's a "very good possibility" we'll be seeing content from other Mega Man games.
-Mega Man Universe not making it to Wii has to do with the file size limitations of Nintendo's WiiWare service. Capcom noted they would like to be able to support a Wii version, but couldn't at this time.
-Target release date of Spring 2011.
-"Everything we've shown will make more sense" come Tokyo Game Show, according to the rep.

I think the reason Megaman is a different character then Rockman would be a reference to the american cartoon version? Mega Man has a muscular look so....

Dude, that was posted 10 hours ago, can really get any more up-to-date.
EDIT: It's even posted in Japanese on the game's official website that it's canceled.
In hindsight, I'm glad it was canceled. I didn't think it was a good idea in the first placed. I'd much rather see just a straight up Powered Up 2 on XBLA and PSN anyways.

I'll take it as legit news, only because they would rather spend less time and money firing up MSPaint and frankenspriting previous Megaman Bosses, resulting in sprites that would require too many workarounds to display properly on the NES, and chopping and rearranging previous robot master themes in MIDI format, then re run though an MIDI-to-NES program. In short, they'd rather lay tribute to Nintendo's only loved console (along with the SNES and the portables, they received widespread praise as opposed to the Game Cube and 64), while Nintendo themselves are going to fade, because their former game makers would rather make a tribute to them as opposed to actually helping them.

Never was a fan of 7 or 8, the classic series just works better in 8-bit. Don't blame them one bit. I know that's just how I feel but based on sales, seems a lot of people agree with me.As a kid, I played only 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 until Mega Man Anniversary, I played them all.

hmmm cool question . i am from farther back. late 70's , early 80's gaming. when the nes hit , it was like a dream come true. to this day i have had more games for the nes than any system i have ever had or owned...until super nes came out then i had more. :D . todays era games are totally different then yester years ( even if remakes) by tech specs and pretty much everything under the hood, but its the old school fun factor that counts for me. I am a fun gamer, techs dont mean squat to me with modern games cause no matter how awesome looking it is , if it aint fun....dust collector or trade in ..immediately. lol.

Let me ask you this.
you ever heard of Nostalga?
Megaman was mostly 8-bit, 7 and 8 were okay, but not as good as the originals, the only cool thing about them was Bass.
and anyway, that's the case with most older consoles I find. look at the games from SNES, PSone, the the PSone for example had over 2000 games, I HIGHLY doubt there were 1000 good games for it.
I don't understand why your so mad that they decided to make the game 8-bit.

because people want the glitsey graphics. thats this generation and a bit of the last. they raher have updated looks and good graphics and all the horsepower under the hood of a console could hold. but yet the sacrifice is ... no one can made a really awesome game from it. they did more with less back in the day and they were fun. Karnov. mega man, ninja gaiden, heck take my all time favorite fighting game ever ...Karate Champ. where i am from, if you could play that game in the arcade and be a master at it, the guys that were playing mvc2 wouldnt even look in your direction. terrified! The nostalgia era done more with less and it was fun man. thats where gaming has lost it roots. Its about money not about the fun of the game.
edit... dont even let me say this game , the true GOD of football games...

That's right off my head, and I'm sure there's more if I thought harder. Dude, I don't know what "unplayable" games you were playing, but that right there is a list of solid titles. I can't even of 10 current gen games I enjoyed, especially since dang near all of them are FPS.
Everyone hated Mario 2.
No one cared about Megaman 1 or 3-6. 6 is considered to be the worst of all of them.
Turtles 1 was also hated.
Batman was panned due to it being innaccurate to the source, yet a beat-em-up about the Simpsons was fine. It was a good game, though.
Castlevania 2 was also hated.
Same with Zelda 2.
Double Dragon 2 was the only one that was truly noteworthy.
Gauntlet 1 was...archaic for it's time.
NARC was panned, but still a good game.
Besides, you only listed about 20 games, the NES had about hundreds. So the other games for it were either rather poor but still playable, average, or obscenely terrible, like Dr. Chaos or Action 52.
There's a reason why we advance to the future. Which brings me to:
Let me ask you this.
you ever heard of Nostalga?
I don't understand why your so mad that they decided to make the game 8-bit.
Because, making games for the NES was a painstakingly difficult process, which is why more than half it's library was hardly memorable. But today, game developers who literally went bankrupt due to developing games for it, irregardless of their quality (such as Technos, though they died later on), are having a huge crap taken on them with today's drag and drop programming tools. Even today, quality homebrew NES games are hard to come by. I would stop my tirade under one impossible condition.
Capcom, make Megaman 9 and 10 for the NES, on working cartridges. That's right, NEVER.

Wow, out of all the times I disagreed with you Luigi this is the biggest set of disagree I have had (so far...?)
Everyone hated Mario 2? and TMNT 1? Zelda 2? you are perfectly insane. and... Megaman 1 rocked and Megaman 3 gave us Protoman.
Also some more great games:
Punch Out
Excitebike
Bart vs the Space Mutants
Lemmings
Bases Loaded
Tecmo Super Bowl
Battletoads
Ninja Gaiden
California Games
Skate or Die
Final Fanatasy
Tetris
Not to mention all the classic games that Smash Bros and MvC get's their characters from, Kid Iccarus, Ice Climbers, Kirby, Final Fight, Ghosts 'n Ghouls, etc...
p.s. also Wall Street Kid and Paper Boy holds a special placec in my heart.

People seem to hate difference, such as with Mario and Zelda 2. They were good standalone games, yet they received a lot of undue flak. Megaman 2, as I keep saying, is Capcom's pride and joy, and as such, everything Megaman related MUST be a reference to the only game in their catalog that has sold more than 2 copies. If I didn't know anything about the NES Megaman games, I would SWEAR that there was only Megaman 2. Yeah, Megaman 3 has some fanbase to it, but it's an ant compared to the empire state building. Kinda like how there is no such thing as Street Fighter 1. :D
I personally don't get the allure of these dated cold war era games. I had an NES and a Famiclone when I was younger, but I was more attached to the so-called bad games for the system, such as Friday the 13th, Karate Kid, and Karate Champ. Before you call me a hypocrite, I want you to know that I played Bart Vs. the Space Mutants, and that game was just horrible. At least the three I mentioned are playable. :-??

I think this pretty much sums up your message. :-?? The draw is of course mainly nostalgia so arguing preference doesn't accomplish much. Making art in the style of Warhol, or a song in baroque orchestration, or a video game in the style of classis NES all has value for those who get it.

awww cmon dude , i mean really, we advanced to the future cause of technology and more innovative minds. thats a given to happen. :D
but no matter how much technology and creative minds clammed together in unison they still spitin out craptacular games more than making solid good FUN games. handfuls , thats all you will find, HANDFULS not bucketloads or a cruise ship basement full of gems. very few titles today truly deliver nostalgic fun. just remakes, spinoffs and rehashes. those companies that have made part 2's and a whole series , very few of them have upped the fun factor . Uncharted so far have seem to capture a nice bit of that make part 2 better and fun gameplay. no many have. but thats my opinion on that title.
if we have advanced so much in the future of gaming then all these remakes and such from 8 bit era games should shine brighter than the sun sitting outside in your front lawn...directly. :D
but they really havent captured the magic of something called Total Fun factor. its just become mainstream to make a part 2 to a game. all those games G Lux listed ( even if they are 20 , but like really could he or should he name the hundreds in one post? lol ) are games i played and enjoyed as a kid and me and my friends all use to trade the games and loan to each other to play then go to school and talk about them all day. so much fun. If ya listen to the game critics, which i never really do cause they dont speak for me just themselves, i wouldnt buy any games i wanted, just what they thought was cool . i did that once , dude , it was coooooooorrrrrnnnny , straight corn harvest!
alot of those companies from back then didnt just flop over, alot of them merged more than flopped. which is why ALOT of the bigger name companies are so big. Its business. If you look at aq brand name company and then look at who they bought and who merged with them , you will find some companies with many subdivisions. even with the recent trend seeing in Game business now , many companies are actually buying other companies , or buying the whole of their stock making them the majority shareholder. So alot of those happened back in the 80's and early 90's and the old companies m are now just fused with the bigger ones. wasnt because it was just so expensive to make for the console , but it also depened on those developers cash flow . You design a game for nes , but know it costs alot in your spending margin, you dont go make a wack game and expect huge profits to cover your margin. thats only what yeah some companies done cause they saw the booming potential in games, but they lacked either the really good minded talent and the financial backing to produce better games by deadlines.
ALL the games g lux listed have garned followings by devote good fun 8 bit fans. and there are millions. i say people need to stop worrying if the graphical prowess of a game is gonna be the sell all point for them to buy, truth really is its in the fun factor. companies stopped caring about good ole fun and cared more about the $$! *Iceman ThumbsDown!*
Post by: Luigi-Master on April 07, 2011, 01:31:17 AM
That and I find it to be the biggest hypocrisy in the world when a game is made to look like something on a NINTENDO SYSTEM but is also sold on non-Nintendo systems.
Long story short: I don't understand the allure of old-looking games, mostly because they are just cheaply made games that are universally acclaimed when the true process of making these games was almost entirely trial and error, not to mention the quality, while the company that made their sorry existence prominent is being left to die with shovelware games and limited 3rd party support.

Transient means something that will fade away. So no, they aren't transient.
Another reason I keep going is because I seem to be the only person on the face of this planet to dislike this retro gaming fad started by low-budget-but-now-gaming-head-honchos indy developers, and being jumped on by Capcom, Nintendo's definitive backstabber.

Video Games are transient (yet mario and monopoly live on forever)
Pop Music is transient (yet vanilla ice and madonna live on forever)
Games are not transient (even if video games die it will be replaced by another kind of game)
Music is not transient (even if a specific genre fades away music will continue)
You can't logically compair the genre of Video games to a broad category like music, you have to pick genres of both to compare.
Post by: Luigi-Master on April 07, 2011, 02:10:13 AM
What I'm getting at is, while at the surface these low quality games seem to be a tribute to a so-called better age of gaming, they really are nothing more than just mocking the companies for wasting their time using trial and error techniques when they could just run a bunch of sprites in Game Maker and call it a day.

Actually Megaman 3 was hot. The Official Introduction of Protoman and Megmans pet dog Rush? The Cyber dog that changes into all kinds of Cool vehicles? C'mon man thats classic megman right there. megaman 1 was cool. You have to pay homage. It was "the birth of Megman". I personally liked megman 2 & 3 the most. Megman 1 was just too hard yet i still ended it.
Narc on Nes was horrible man. Im a fan of the Arcade version first. Double Dragon 2 is the better of the series i agree strongly. Music. gameplay & fun factor.
Castlevania 2 i would have to say is a classic in its own right. It totally introduced that "Rpg" kinda feel that damn there all the castlevanias go by today. Just look at symphony of the night. Castlevania 2 was the first "non-linear" of its series and also introduced some badA$$ music we love today like "Bloody tears". lil nick nacks like that. I dont know how many times that one track got used and remixed over in other castlevania games since then.
lol Mario bros 2..hmm well ill say we all had mixed feelings but a lot of us still played and ended that game numerous times. Folks hating the game is pretty rough to say. I just dont think more folks liked that game than 3
Tmnt 1 it was a "bitter sweet" thing. The game entirely was too hard. I was a huge TMNT fan. the game was cool but it was nothing like the Arcade game. But the music was a major special part in the game. Thats the only thing that got it by IMO. It forever lived in the shadow of the arcade version till TMNT nes games 2 & 3 came out. The nostagia of that game is still a gem. haha although i dont see how the hell a Turtle can drown in a water stage but whatever lol
As far as Fun and classic cool nes games go From my child hood memory favs here goes:
Mario 1-3
Dig dug 2
Double dragon 1-2 (2 was the better but the first had that cool @ss 1 vs 1 mode)
Guardian legend
Contra 1-2
Ninja gaiden 1-2
metroid
Shadow of the ninja
Little nemo the dream master
castlevania 1-3 (3 was the better)
Zelda
Rygar
Astyanax
Abodox
Battle of Olympus
Legend of Kage
POW
WCW
Tecmo wrestling
Tecmo Bowl
Renegade
battle toads
River city Ransom
Bases loaded 3
Pro wrestling
Legendary winds
Festers quest
Blaster master
Monster Party (even though it was weird as F*ck)
Batman
Bionic commando
street fighter 2010
GodZilla
Captain skyhawk
Code name Viper
Life force
Monster in my pocket
Rampage
Break thru
Bump n Jump
Kung Fu
Mike tysons punch out
Gi Joe
Rad racer
Zelda 1-2 (2 was too freakin hard though thats it)
Clash at demons head
Shatter hand
Power Blade
Duck tales
Bad dudes (although it was nothin compared to the arcade experience)
Wizards and warriors
Iron sword
Ikari warriors
RC pro Am
Mighty Bomb Jack
I mean there were tons of games that were either that "Fun" or just that cool overall in experience back then id still play now. So with that said For example, i found myself playing that new Contra Hard corps UpRising to death more than a lot of new games i have now. But the point of the "Fun" factor along with the same rough challenge sticks out a long way. A lot of games today lack that replay value & fun and just are all flashy flash and thats it. Thats why i embrace any oldschool kind of touch a new game has. Its all good with me as long as its done in good taste and keeps me playing :thumbsup:
well thats all i have to say on the retro debate #:-S

Bull. crap.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_video_game (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_video_game)
Video games came to be from the early 40s, my friend. The first console was the Magnavox Odyssey, then Atari built upon that making games that weren't lights on a screen, and almost killed gaming as we know it, until Nintendo upped the ante with the NES, saving gaming, but they have to live their lives remembering the past and feeling reclusive about moving forward, while Capcom and Konami just pay pity visits to them.
IF you want a breakdown, I can give it to you. The NES our family had was defected, and it saddened me that it was not only out of date, it could potentially be irreplaceable. Then I discovered that Nintendo made the Super Nintendo, and later the 64, so I was happy that they were still around. However, support for their older consoles was halted, which was understandable. Now I see the condition Nintendo is in now, and I'm back in the same state I was years ago. Nintendo is gone forever. :'(

OMG dude no duhh games were around before 8 bit. uh duuuuuh! but 8 bit was a very indication of the way games was going into a new direction. no by just company standpoints but as the COMSUMERS as well. you seem to forget about that fact. we make what games popular not the comapnies. Nintedo is gonna be around for as long as we keep buying their products not cause you say so. to you maybe to me, they in it till they end it or the comsumer market does... and so far..,. they still around bro and making $$. thats what matters company wise. dollars and consumers. * bit proved there was a genuine market after that all new software and hardware advancements and improvements showed even more that people make the consoles and games flourish. * bit gave alot of fond memories and you wasnt around in the 40's.....were you. so yeah, the market showed its greatest profit leap in the 8 bit era.
you sound like Nintendo was your parent that didnt listen to you and now your a sour adult cause of that. you just didnt pay attention to the games ( words) of your parent. if you had then you see why you have all this that we have now from them and a whole heap of others.

Post by: Luigi-Master on April 07, 2011, 03:16:30 AM
And by your analogy, Nintendo would be the parent that made an irreversible mistake in their life (utilizing expensive cartridge based media, driving away developers), and they're in critical condition. Their former friends (Capcom, Konami) just stop by to say hi, but offer no help, all with the mindset of "Can we go now?". Snake's inclusion in SSBB was nothing short than an advertisement for MGS4, an exclusive on an opposing system. Hell, there likely won't be any game relevant to Metal Gear on the Wii save for the Virtual Console!

if i can make more money by sticking to my guts than i would having others come on board and be too many nah says in my ideas for my product , so the heck be it! nintendo is friggin wealthy!!! then you would be the very unorderly child that whined cause he didnt get his way of what he wants even if it costed the company declined prifts just to get what you wanted..specifically. i choose to disown for the price of everyone loving what i do while you sit sour apples. and no allowance! lol
Post Merge: April 07, 2011, 04:05:28 AM
I'm a sour adult because I'm starting to realize how terrible life really is. I also outgrew my fondness for games, though currently it's understandable because there's nothing new around, just tried and true gimmicks. But despite all that, the more I see games, the more I go "eh". Might have something to do with the fact that I packed away all my consoles years ago, and the only console I have left is the PC, but I doubt it.
oh and add to this is why you are so debatable. you retrack what you say. i thought you was all about why dont games from old days get with the new technology and pretty much pimp out the games instead of embracing foundation games and retro games ? here you just discredit your own theories as a whole.
if you outgrew your fondness for games why even ..again ..champion the thoughts of new technology for gaming if you outgrown your fondness for them. there is NEW stuff around, but now why take you serious when your not even serious about your own words. o.O#

And retrostyled gaming isn't just about paying respects to the old styles, or making an easy game, it's about reusing older elements that worked well and haven't been seen in a while. Nintendo takes it to the next step by visually updating their games (New Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong Returns) and while that works, the idea is just to make money using the elements that worked. Especially when so much is going wrong in the modern gaming industry (IE: Anything Sonic related until Colors.)

Wii console sales almost double that of PS3, and more than 1.6 times that of Xbox 360. Nintendo is doing great. You don't even play console games so it seems your not vested anyways.
And Capcom is one of the first onboard with the 3DS, I think you're just bored now.
Post by: Luigi-Master on April 10, 2011, 03:42:14 AM
The Wii has sold a lot of units, true. But that means nothing when a huge chunk of it's games are just shovelware. A console that sold few copies, on the flip side, tends to have a higher number of good games, ironically.
But maybe they're just appealing to you retro wannabe hipsters since it's just easier to make something that measures 15 pixels tall and wide on a screen that's entirely inconsistent. I'll be blunt. I was much more fond of the 16-bit and 64-bit era. The 8-bit era has nothing that's groundbreaking except for Nintendo saving a failing market.
Post by: -Whiplash- on April 10, 2011, 12:45:54 PM
I don't understand why your so mad that they made a new megaman game in 8 bit. most megaman games were 8 bit.
Also, I also prefer the 16 and 64 bit era. that was my childhood, but I don't just go "f**k you NES, who plays you anyway?"

take nothing to heart Luigi says , he likes attention anyway he can get it through a debate . he doesnt play games anymore which makes me wonder why he is in mugen. there is far more advanced stuff than mugen and thats where he seems to get his most enjoyment . trashing 8 bit era then you mine as well trash mugen. we still use 8 bit characters in mugen, 16 bit , hi res and so forth. Luigi bro, calling us retro liking people names is not gonna hurt us, especially me. i enjoyed my 8 bit era. there is an 8 bit mugen project i look forward to as well. dont get upset homie all about it. No one cares about your personal problems with why nintendo didnt aquire other companies. they rich, whatcha gonna do? other companies do produce games that are and will be featured on WIi . nintendo has always had its exclusiveness which why as well makes it such the giant it is. give up the ghost chase bro. it will be alright. the 8 bit era was a benchmark in many many ways to the Gaming industry and set alot of foundations and tones for games to follow, and here we have them but aint nothing like the good ole days.
