That was Curve Studios' titular character "Explodemon", who looks a hell of a lot like Mega Man 2's very own Metal Man.
The game, Explodemon! is a self proclaimed homage to various classic platformers .The official press release from Curve reads:
"Explodemon! is a 2.5D action platform game with an explosive main character. Mixing classic platforming action – from classics such as Mario and MegaMan – with the refined contemporary gameplay of Halo and Half-Life 2, it brings old-school gameplay bang up to date. Coming from Curve’s deep-seated love of video game culture and history, Explodemon! is wrapped up as a loving homage to SNES-era Japanese action games.Very interesting concept. Color me excited!
Explodemon! will release on PSN, PC and WiiWare in 2009."

Interesting.. Wiiware ?! I m so getting it, man!
ReplyDeleteCapcom needs to take a cue from these guys. This is the perfect way to revive the MHX series, course that's just my opinion.
ReplyDeleteCould they come up with a more stupid name??
ReplyDeleteThis is what we need. A 2.5D Rockman game with visuals like this on all the digital download services.
I agreed with you, BassDS. It would be nice! :D
ReplyDeleteanother must have for me. now i just have to decide which system to download it for... i'll probably decide based on storage space. i mean now that we have that update for the wii, it has virtualy limitless storage, compared to the ps3's stationary hard drive.
ReplyDeletethis game looks kinda odd from what i have seen so far the game play seems to simple to be good but we shall find out soon when the game comes out i wonder how much it will cost
ReplyDeleteIt looks fun and I love the art style. I agree with...well, pretty much everyone else: Capcom NEEDS to make Rockman 10 look like this.
ReplyDeleteThat is some horrible fucking character design right there.
ReplyDeleteLooks like Maverick Hunter X (PSP).
ReplyDeleteThis what Megaman X should of been for his revival!!!
ReplyDelete*Should HAVE been.
ReplyDeleteSorry, but that just drives me nuts. X)
