GrubberGamer's Online Game Deals for March 6, 2013

GN Version 4.0

Get Equipped With USB Blaster!As a big fan of Capcom's classic Mega Man series, I was really intrigued when I first learned about the upcoming Mega Man 25th Anniversary USB Buster flash drive. Despite the form factor not looking especially laptop friendly, the idea of a flash drive paying homage to one of my favorite game series was - geek as I am - pretty dang cool. I hadn't been this interested in a novelty flash drive since the transforming Decepticon Ravage USB stick released a few years back.

So I decided to learn more and - as it turns out - this may be one of the better Mega Man swag deals to come along in a while! Not only does the $19.95 purchase include the flash drive itself, Capcom decided to pre-load the stick with lots of bonus digital extras. Some of these are already available on the Internet at no cost - namely, the Street Fighter X Mega Man stuff. But also included are the first four issues of the Mega Man comic book series by Archie Comics, the Mega Man Tribute art book, and especially noteworthy, the long out-of-print Mega Man X: Official Complete Works! New copies of this book currently list for $300-$800* on the internet aftermarket, but here's an opportunity - albeit a digital one - to finally own it as part of an affordable $20 bundle. Nice!

Message From Dr. Light - Get Your Tablets Ready!

While Mega Man X: Official Complete Works is definitely the USB Buster's digital gem, the rest of the included content is rock solid in its own right. A physical copy of the Mega Man Tribute book runs thirty bucks, and a trade paperback collecting the Mega Man comic issues is about $10. Overall, and assuming Capcom doesn't implement some sort of crazy DRM, it sounds like a great deal. The Mega Man 25th Anniversary USB Buster is available for pre-order exclusively via the Capcom Store for $19.95, and should be released sometime in "2nd Quarter 2013."

Mega Man Anniversary CollectionIf you're like me and like to "try before you buy," you can sample both the comics and the Mega Man X: Official Complete Works book thanks to Amazon's handy "Click To Look Inside!" preview feature. The Complete Works preview is especially thorough - you can spend an entire day browsing that thing! While there's no preview available for the Mega Man Tribute, Amazon reviewer Parka posted a flip-thru video if you're curious as to what's inside.

On the (very) off-chance you've never played Mega Man's early adventures and you're wondering what all the hub bub is about, the Mega Man Anniversary Collection for PS2 - collecting MM 1-8 and two MM arcade games - is only $11.28 on Amazon! And don't forget the Mega Man X Collection for $15.03, also for PS2, collecting MMX 1-6 and the previously unreleased Mega Man: Battle & Chase. Both of these collections are definite must-plays and are great deals to boot!

Before I wrap up, I wanted to take a moment and thank everyone for your feedback & comments about the recent revamp - they're all very much appreciated! I'd also like to thank RMC for all of his help & support while working with me to make this happen. You are a credit to your profession and the gaming community, my epically bearded friend - thank you for your patience! :)

As always, be sure to hit the jump for all of today's Nintendo related game deals. 'Till next time, this is Grubber Gamer signing off - thanks for reading!

* Yeah, crazy prices! I recommend the following: 1) Check your local bookstores, video game stores and comic shops and hope you get lucky, or 2) go digital and get the flash drive, or 3) wait and hope Udon actually reprints the physical edition sometime later this year, or 4) wait and see if the rumored updated edition happens. You're welcome.
