According to various hands-on impressions, we certainly dodged a bullet when Capcom decided tohold offon localizingRockman Xover. Nonetheless, the free-to-play social titlecontinues unabatedin its native Japan, indicating that it must besomewhat successful. I’m honestly quite impressed by Capcom’s perseverance — the company has given this moldy cheese more attention than anything elseMega Manin the last couple of years.
Capcom is bringing theXoverlove to Android devices at some point in the near future. In addition, aboss creation contesthas been kicked off on Nico Nico Seiga, the art community subsection of the Japanese video sharing site Nico Nico Douga. Through the end of March, users can submit their designs; the winner will have his or her boss included in the game and will also receive a “Battle Memory” card of the boss plus other special in-game cards. Three runners-up will have their designs transformed into “Battle Memory” and also receive special cards, while 21 others will just receive a set of special cards.
