Capcom sent us a press release to announce Mega Man Universe on Friday but it was a bit light on details so I held off. To be honest, we’re still a bit light on details, other than the claim that it’s going to be “a revolutionary take on the seminal classic, setting course for a new chapter in classic gaming”. Which is PR speak for “We think it’s going to be a good reboot, we want you to like it too”. So far, so unoriginal.
A quick fast forward in time to this afternoon and another email arrives from Capcom’s crack PR team telling me to watch the video. So I did. I’m a slave to those PR types you know, it’s all the free drink I don’t get. Anyway, to cut a long story short, the trailer still doesn’t give much away but it is pretty awesome, in a “Small Soldiers” kind of way, and it features some bitchin’ 80s guitar solos riffing on the Mega Man theme. So I stuck our TSAtv stuff on it (I must get back to that…) and here it is for you all to rock out to.
Well done Capcom PR, you got me hooked…
Note: Video will be available in 720p HD when fully processed, the direct link to YouTube is here.
UPDATE: Hurrah! I’m a fool. I missed our own announcement on Friday and have just been gently prodded by our News Editor. So let’s just pretend that the purpose of this post is to give you the chance to watch that video in lovely 720p, shall we?

whoa, deja vu. :o
still a cool video though, it just hit me how much this reminds me of robot chicken.
although it still doesn’t give any real clue as to what the game will be like.
