Elevator Action Deluxe<\/a>, an update, remake and overhaul of Taito’s classic “Elevator Action” spy-shooter, is out on PSN today.<\/p>\n

It’ll be a while before I can buy this one (gotta pay the website bill soon) but it looks sharp and sounds funky. I like how the in-game documents you steal are Taito documents like flyers that you can view in a gallery. The character designs have a Lupin-esque look mixed with the classic official artwork<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Between this and the criminally underrated Moon Diver<\/a>, Square-Enix, who now owns Taito and it’s intellectual properties, has thrown some great old-schoolian love our way. I hope those of you who are angry about a lapse in a game series with more entries than most entire companies have games<\/a> will take some time to support the companies that put work into projects like this when they really don’t have to<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Kotaku feature on classic Nintendo composer, Hip Tanaka<\/a>
\nIt’s just a short overview of the man’s work but it’s always good to see him get attention for his music. Do yourself a favor and don’t look at the comments section on that page. I’m serious.<\/p>\n


\nCapcom-Unity: Rockman-Unity TOM-PON interview<\/a>
\nCapcom-Unity has links to a translated and subtitled interview that Rockman-Unity<\/a> had with TOM-PON, artist and background designer for some classic Capcom titles starting with Mega Man for the NES.
\n(Note: more posts and interview segments came out after I posted this so I’m updating this news post as they’re added)

Let’s end this one on an high note, courtesy of Wizzy…<\/p>\n
