With PAX 2010 underway Capcom have released a new Mega Man Universe gameplay trailer introduced by Mr Keiji Inafune himself (creator of the Mega Man series, just in case you didn’t know). The trailer shows off different versions of Mega Man from past generations including Mega Man, Rockman and Bad Box Art Mega Man tackling the usual combination of treacherous platforming and enemies. The trailer also teases at the ability to play as Ryu in the game (a fact that Inafune-san confirms later in the video) among other Street Fighter characters. So the question is, “who else would you like to see Capcom squeeze into Mega Man Universe?”

The trailer is available after the jump, so get clicking.

We’re big fans of the Oddworld series here at GodisaGeek, so we were pleasantly surprised when Just Add Water announced that they are remaking the highly underrated, Oddworld Stranger’s Wrath. The HD remake will be finding its way over to PSN with Move support accompanied by a healthy amount of upgrades including 720p visuals, detailed characters, normal mapping, self-shadowing, re-mastered dialogue and additional bonus material that is yet to be announced.

Just Add Water have been working closely with Oddworld founders Lorne Lanning and Sherry McKenna to ensure the remake is faithful to the original, with Stewart Gilray, Managing Director of JAW stating:

“Since word got out that we’ve been working with Oddworld Inhabitants there have been many rumours circulating about what we’re working on. Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath is the first project in what we believe will be a long and fruitful relationship. Having the chance to update this great title and release it on PS3 is just a brilliant opportunity, not least for us, but for the fans too.”

So there you have it, Stranger’s Wrath is coming to the PlayStation 3. Sounds pretty good to us, how about you? Let us know your thoughts on our forums.
