Super Alloy Crush Early Access Impressions (PC)
Give me some 2D side-scrolling action with a hefty side of fun. Super Alloy Crush from developer Alloy Mushroom was just released into Early Access this past week. We have had the pleasure of digging into this game before, and now that it’s out in the open and updated, we’re back again with a new preview. While I could never be as precise or as eloquent as Will Silberman with this game, or preview...[Read More]
Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection (Nintendo Switch 2) Review
Capcom’s been on a roll lately with their legacy title collections. Last year saw the release of their Capcom Fighting Collection 2 (spoiler alert: we think it’s great), 2024 saw the release of MvC Fighting Collection (another spoiler: it’s a blast from the past that took us for a ride), and in 2023 we saw the release of Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection (final spoiler: I was enthralled, b...[Read More]
Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection (Chumps Preview)
Chumps Preview is a special kind of post where we unofficially preview games in Early Access, Beta, or are otherwise “unfinished.” This kind of preview is meant to be a first impression rather than a definitive review where we provide a rating to determine a game’s value. As such, we fully expect a game covered in a Chumps Preview to have room for improvement, some bugginess/incompleteness, and ot...[Read More]

Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection (Nintendo Switch)
The Mega Man Battle Network (MMBN) series is an interesting example of a spinoff series done right, albeit underestimated and woefully underrated for its time. Those of you familiar with the Mega Man series may be familiar with tight platforming as Mega Man, defeating difficult enemies with buster shots and dodging bullet hell patterns, and absorbing bosses’ signature abilities to take down ...[Read More]
Mega Man Legacy Collection heading to consoles and PC in 2023

Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection Review
For the necessity of transparency, before playing Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection, I had no experience with any Mega Man titles or the series in general. I knew of the series, had heard of the games and seen screenshots of some animated series from years ago, as well as seen the character in crossover titles such as Super Smash Brothers. Yet, I have never played a single one of the games on any...[Read More]
Mega Man X Legacy Collection
It’s hard to believe it’s been twelve years since the release of Mega Man X Collection for GameCube and PS2. Featuring Mega Man X 1-6 (plus Battle and Chase), it was a fully-priced game with a decent selection of bonus content (music and artwork specifically). Now that there are a full eight titles to digest, Capcom has split X Legacy Collection into two separate $20 titles—not a bad deal under an...[Read More]
Mega Man Legacy Collection 2
Somewhat contrary to how late-80s Capcom used to pump out these games, it’s taken nearly two years since the release of Mega Man Legacy Collection for the next installment to reach us. The first MMLC was generally pretty well accepted by critics thanks to its faithful emulation of the original jewels that were the retro NES Mega Man titles, and now, on August 8, Capcom looks to make another splas...[Read More]
