Capcom has unveiled pics of three robotic bosses from Mega Man 9, a retro-themed title that hits Xbox Live, PlayStation Network and Wii Ware next month.
To celebrate the impending release, one of Nintendo’s new offerings on the Virtual Console this week is Capcom’s original Mega Man. The series, which began on the venerable Nintendo Entertainment System, is famous for its inventive stage bosses and the weapons they leave behind to help you conquer their cohorts. You can tackle the stages in any order, making it one of the most replayable formats — then and now.

AN OLD-SCHOOL BATTLESTAR GALACTICA CYLON WITH A FULLY-FUNCTIONAL HELMET. SWEET!
Just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, it did.
Saturday was my last day at Comic-Con, and probably the most memorable. What started out as a normal day — seeing fans in costume, getting autographs from famous artists and processing an insane amount of fanboy mania — ended with a bang, otherwise known as The Comic-Con International Masquerade.

BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL!!!
Friday at the San Diego Comic-Con seemed busier than previous days. The long lines and cramped isles made it tough to get around, but I still managed to see some great panels, successfully hunt down a rare graphic novel and get an autograph from my all-time favorite artist. Sweet! Oh yeah, and a bunch of people wore their costumes, making it the freakiest day of the convention and the most fun. I’ve got pictures!

Giant, evil Easter Island heads and enormous bosses with glowing weak spots that scream “shoot me.” They’re all back to menace the galaxy, and once again it’s up to one little starfighter with an ever-growing arsenal of weapons to save the day!
Coming this summer in Japan to Nintendo’s Wii Ware service: Gradius Rebirth, which follows the style of the classic side-scrolling space combat games Gradius and Life Force. Only time (and money) will tell if we see it in the States.
I wonder if the infamous “Konami Code” will be resurrected as well? The 1986 Nintendo Entertainment system release of Gradius was the first game to employ the epic cheat.
