Keiji Inafune Leaves Capcom

Capcom legend and father of Rockman / Megaman has left the company he's been with for 23 years. His full job title had been Head of R&D Management Group, Consumer Games R&D Division and Contents Management Division. His final post on his blog (which is now closed) titled "Sayonara", Inafune explained why he decided to leave.

"A manager's work means evaluating your subordinates and speaking your dreams. Anyone who can do both of those can be a manager. I thought that when I came here, and I still think that now."

I guess Inafune-san wasn't kidding when he said he hated his job. This is a sa d turn of events following the announcement of Megaman Legends 3.

Mega Man Legends is apparently Inafune's favorite series in the Mega Man franchise. "We have wanted to create a new installment in this series for a number of years," Inafune said in a video letter last month. "And it is great that we now have the opportunity to bring this title to the Nintendo 3DS."

Gamers will have the opportunity to play Mega Man Legends 3 when it is released next year, but Inafune unfortunately won't have the opportunity to see it to completion.

Dead Rising 2 finished! REVIEW coming up soon, Whats next????

Finished Dead Rising 2 and is now thinking which game to trip on next?? well before Fallout: New Vegas Comes out on oct 19, i was hoping to get another game to kill time with my PS3. Well i have 2 games that i'm considering.......

Castlevania: Lord of Shadows, now from the looks of it and from the reviews i wont be getting the classic Castlevania feel, but more of a God of War meets the Belmont's. But it isn't a bad thing, i've given the Demo a go and the visuals are amazing! the game play felt great but do i feel like going through a God of War kind of game??

Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, now this game feels fresh. I've also tried the demo for this and i was also impressed with the visuals, but game play didn't feel all that special in the demo. but throughout the Demo i was already impressed with the two main Characters, the story seems to be interesting enough and the Post post Apocalyptic Setting leaves me curious about the game.


Their both great games to experience, how i wish i can just scrap this post and say " yep, getting both of them!" but not this time. Should i experience a great story and a world  thats new to me or should i go all out in Castlevania's revamp? We'll see what i decide when i am at the store holding both games...
