Japan Post Makes Mega Man Themed Mail Stamps
Next month we’ll be celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Blue Bomber, Mega Man. To celebrate, Japan Post has declared that there’s going to be a set of stamps celebrating the 30th anniversary of Mega Man, or specifically, Mega Man 1.
The game had originally come to the NES in 1987. Even though the time of glory for the Super Fighting Robot has long since passed. Many people fondly remember the adventures of Mega Man acrosds multiple games. Japan Post knows this and will try to celebrate on their own way.
All of its Robot Masters (including Roll, Rockman, Wily, and Dr. Light) are represented, and it’ll also come with a t-shirt. If you’re located in Japan Town, you can reserve the set on November 20 for 5,400 yen (or roughly $50).
As such, you will be able to acquire your stamps to send with precious letters to CAPCOM about getting a new game release soon. Considering the Classic Mega Man franchise has been dormant for quite a while now, people really want to see something related to the blue bomber.
I remember the good old days where Mega Man VI was the very first game I played. Afterwards, I played Mega Man X4 and then started beating adventure after adventure. Honestly, I would have these stamps as keepsakes over sending them to someone else.
It simply just has a lot of sentimental value, considering that 30 years ago, Mega Man made his debut and became popular in the states. Even when there are sour reminders that Mighty No. exists, we still will find games worth playing.
There’s not much else to say other than get to japan and snag those stamps. By the time they hit store shelves, a lot of players will be jumping on that and I’m sure we’ll see the prices of those reaching up to $3000 USD or something.
Since the excellent Baldur’s Gate 3 has been out in the wild for a while, interesting data can be gleaned, such as how players choose to play an innovative new RPG from home. Stats from developer Larian Studios and posted on the PlayStation Blog show that most people want to play as a stealthy archer like in Skyrim when given nearly limitless options.
According to a fascinating graph, Rogue/Ranger is the most popular multiclass build, with over 175,000 players using it to snipe unsuspecting enemies from range. The next two builds reveal similarly. 150,000 played Barbarian/Fighter because they loved pummeling things, and 109,00 played Barbarian/Paladin, which lets players talk to their victims before beatings.
More sense emerges as you descend. If the Paladin/Warlock/Sorcerer/Bard has high Charisma, any combination can be interesting. Charisma helps these classes cast spells and abilities and interact with NPCs outside of combat.
Playing a single class through Baldur’s Gate 3 feels great, which is what most players do. A pure Fighter or Wizard becomes so powerful by game’s end that we don’t blame you for not mixing things up!
Play as a Tiefling Oathbreaker Paladin, Dark Urge Origin (which you must resist), or Bard for real moral dilemmas. You could also play pseudo-Aragorn again.
Techland is continuing to release Dying Light 2 content as part of its long-term support. This is surprising since the meaty Good Night, Good Luck update was released a few months ago. It’s nice to know what’s coming, but no timeline was given.
IGN-exclusive roadmap trailers reveal more co-op missions, board quests, a tower raid, and replayable GRE anomalies. Executions and finishers may be added to the April Gut Feeling update, which overhauled melee mechanics. Graphical options, weapon repair, gear, and mod dismantling are always welcome.
Knives, polearms, and more enemy variants are coming, including a Nightmare difficulty. Changes to NG+ include firearms. Players can finally dress to their hearts’ content with new cosmetic options.
Has Techland’s Dying Light 2 support lured you back? Would you rather focus on something new?
Epic Games expanded the Fortnite V-Buck “pricing alignment” after laying off almost 900 employees, citing “inflation and currency fluctuations”. Fortnite’s premium currency will rise in international markets, including the largest.
Epic Games will raise the price of V-Bucks and real money content packs in the Czech Republic, Denmark, Eurozone countries, Hungary, Japan, Norway, Poland, Romania, Sweden, Turkey, and the US (including all US Dollar storefronts) on October 27.
Raising the price of this fictitious currency was successful when the company trialed it in the UK, Canada, and Mexico, so it was decided to announce it worldwide now. These USD increases range from $1 (1000 V-Bucks, previous $7.99) to $10 (13,500 V-Bucks, previous $79.99).
How do you view Epic’s timing and pricing increase?
