The Misadventures of Tron Bonne Now Available On PSN. May 6, 2015 . 11:51am

The Misadventures of Tron Bonne can be played on the PlayStation 3, PSP, and PS Vita.

Yesterday, we reported that the ESRB had rated The Misadventures of Tron Bonne for re-release as a PSOne Classic. This morning, Capcom announced that the game is available for purchase.

A sealed copy of The Legend of Tron Bonne can go for more than $400, so the game is—or was—something of a rare gem.

The Misadventures of Tron Bonne can be played on the PlayStation 3, PSP, and PS Vita.


Update: Some folks are reporting they can’t find the game. If you can’t find it on the PSN via your device, use this link instead.

I can't wait. I hope they release the entire series.

 

[InJustice]

I'm mother****ing happy that this is up. It's the only Legends-related game I haven't played.

Hopefully, maybe this is a sign that Capcom found a way to resolve the legal issues surrounding the Legends series? I own the two Legends copies, but I wouldn't mind paying 6 bucks for Legends and Legends 2 since I'd be endlessly replaying them on the Vita.

 

[TheLastBlade]

I hope they don't cancel an announced Megaman game and then come up with a half-assessed excuse..... Again.

 

[Jick]

I don't think there's any coming.

 

[TheLastBlade]

There were games coming.... But Capcom claimed that there wasn't enough fan input and that there was "too much" megaman.

 

[Travesty]

A proper MM is dead.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I think a lot of when we'll see Megaman next will depend on how well Mighty Number 9 does. It had a pretty spectacular Kickstarter, and if it actually sells really well on the market, I expect Megaman will be right behind in some form.

 

[TheLastBlade]

If re-releasing Megaman on the Wii U virtual console is any indication, I'd say they're testing if Megaman's still viable.

 

[Soapy]

That seems like a terrible way to test that, and if that's actually what they're doing it seems like something that was set up to fail from the beginning.

 

[Travesty]

Nah, they've had them on the Virtual Console for years on the Wii and 3DS.

I wish they released MM9&10 on the 3DS and Vita. I have no idea why they haven't?

 

[TheLastBlade]

I think the problem started when Capcom thought there wasn't much support for Megaman Legends 3. The problem with this logic is that Fan support=/=General sales.

Also, I think this is a first of virtual consoles of the Megaman Battle Network series. Has anyone played that? I thought it was a decent RPG series.

 

[WolfCypher]

If re-releasing Megaman on the Wii U virtual console is any indication, I'd say they're testing if Megaman's still viable.

That seems like a terrible way to test that, and if that's actually what they're doing it seems like something that was set up to fail from the beginning.

Exactly! Capcom did this exact same thing with Darkstalkers. They teased heavily a few years ago that Darkstalkers could see a revival (Google "Darkstalkers Aren't Dead") and then to hype it all they re-released the classic old PS1-era Darkstalker games on PSN (probably Xbox Live too, I dunno). No one cared about those. So Capcom pretty much said "well, you guys didn't take to those old games we made available so we're NOT GIVING YOU AND NEW DARKSTALKER GAMES "

That' was a completely dumb, bullsh** way to try to prove the fanbase's loyalty for a new DS game. Fans really DID want a new DS game. Read: NEWDarkstalker game. The concept has always been fun and fans would have loved a modern fighter in the same vein as MvC3 or SF4 with vampires, werewolves, and Frankenstien's monster fighting each other. But the truth is, those old DS games Capcom tried to make us buy just DO NOT hold up anymore, and most DS fans have bought them, and re-bought them ad nauseam.

So pretty much, because we didn't buy old versions of the games that we've probably have gotten several times before anyway because Capcom has re-re-rereleased them so many times before, Capcom decided to halt any supposed plans for more Darkstalker games.

If thats what their doing with Mega Man, they might as well just stop. I have most Mega Man games still in their original cartridge forms, plus the Mega Man Anniversary & X Collectios, I have these games legally on my Wii, some legally on my Wii U, legally have them on my 3DS, illegal downloads of the rest on my Wii, and even Mega Man 2 and X on my iPhone. Enough. I'm not buying the same game(s) for the twelfth time just because I think maybe Capcom will release another 8-bit Mega Man redux and call it a new modern Mega Man, or do nothing at all and just re-re-rerelease these Mega Man games again in another four years.

Capcom can go eff themselves hard on this and everything else they do.

 

[TheLastBlade]

Hey, I've been trying to tell people that Capcom made lots of bad business decisions for awhile now (they also used to be bad human beings in terms of psychology and health too).

We'll see how they do now with more Monster Hunter, layoffs, and some exclusive deals.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Yeah, as Travesty said, I think you guys are looking too much into the re-releases. I really don't think it's some type of test honestly, just sort of a standard thing that's been started since last gen. I mean, was re-releasing Dino Crisis & Dino Crisis 2 some kind of test for a potential DC reboot? Kind of doubt it.

They have a large catalog that they know applies to a certain subset of people, and they can release it with a small amount of time and effort. I honestly don't think there's anything more to it than that.

[Jick]

A near dead part of me still hopes they'll see that the love of the fans for this series isn't gone and they'll give us X9. In one way or another.

 

[Soapy]

I have a feeling that if Mega Man comes back, it will be something entirely new rather than a sequel or something like that. I would like to be wrong though.

 

[luis4u]

I'm mother****ing happy that this is up. It's the only Legends-related game I haven't played.

Hopefully, maybe this is a sign that Capcom found a way to resolve the legal issues surrounding the Legends series? I own the two Legends copies, but I wouldn't mind paying 6 bucks for Legends and Legends 2 since I'd be endlessly replaying them on the Vita.

Yes please

Make Mega Man Dance In This Total Conversion Mod For Crypt Of The NecroDancer. June 7, 2015 . 3:27pm

Mega Man will need to get his boogie on if he’s to survive the deadly dungeons of Crypt of the MegaDancer.

[YT]okKU45lbR3c[/YT]

The first total conversion mod for the recently released dungeon crawling rhythm game Crypt of the NecroDancer is Mega Man-themed. It’s called Crypt of the MegaDancer.

It’s essentially the same game as before, except this time all of the tiles, sprites, and sounds have been replaced with 8-bit Mega Man art. What this means is that, yes, you can finally get Mega Man to dance while he throws out some deadly moves against his enemies. Also worth noting is that this total conversion is compatible with replays and leaderboards.

The only thing missing from Crypt of the MegaDancer, according to its creator, is new cutscenes for Cadence, Aria, and Melody. Those will be added later. For now, you can download Crypt of the MegaDancer through Steam providing you already own a copy of Crypt of the NecroDancer, of course.
