Greetings and thank you for taking the time to read my very first blog post! My name is David Crislip, and I work as an Assistant Producer here in Capcom's online division in Tokyo. If you played Dead Rising, my last name might look familiar. I got my start here in Capcom's localization team in Osaka where I translated game text for DR and quite a few other titles. In Tokyo, I help Ono-san out with Street Fighter IV as well as heading up Virtual Console title producer duties. I was flattered to have been entrusted with this job as it requires no real bilingualism, but instead relies on my "talents" as an obsessive classic game collector and enthusiast. How many people do you know, after all, who own both a working SuperGrafx and a Bandai Playdia? If you are remotely normal, your answer is "none". If you are really normal, you're scratching your head right now wondering what the heck a SuperGrafx is.

Anyway, now that I have the formalities out of the way, I wanted to take a moment to invite you all to relive our childhood memories and get reacquainted with one of Capcom's most popular and enduring heroes. I am proud to announce that the Blue Bomber is back and ready for action in the original adventure that started it all. Mega Man will be available for the Virtual Console this Monday! What better way to whet your appetite for the shiny newness that is Mega Man 9 than with a trip down memory lane by reliving Mega Man's original adventure?
