"Back in the day, Sega used to run an advertising campaign that claimed “Genesis Does What Nintendon’t.” Aside from angering my inner nerd (I was an excellent speller in grade school), I could never actually figure out what Sega did that Nintendo didn’t. The same benefit of the doubt does not apply to the people who currently run Capcom. We know exactly what they aren’t doing, and that’s treating Mega Man, one of gaming’s most beloved characters, with the respect he deserves. There hasn’t been a new Mega Man game in nearly five years, and aside from an appearance in last year’s Super Smash Bros. For 3DS/Wii U (a Nintendo production), the character has been completely forgotten.
Enter Chris King, the programmer for Batterystaple Games. He saw the Mega Man-shaped hole in the market and decided to give the people what they wanted. His new game, 20XX, is a loving homage to Mega Man (more specifically, to the Mega Man X series) that adds in a lot of things that Capcom couldn’t do back in the 90s.
What does Capcom think of 20XX? After playing a few rounds of 20XX, we asked the developer that question, and a few more, at this year’s PAX East expo."
20XX, Barony, and Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP are free at Epic Games Store starting today. The free game offers run until August 6 at 11 AM Eastern. Once you claim them, they're yours to keep.
James writes - "We can all agree that the massive sale last week that saw a shed load of Xbox One and Xbox 360 games discounted will be hard to top, but it’s a new week and that means there are new offers in place via the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale. So, if you’re looking for something different to play and wish to get a bargain then the Xbox Deals With Gold and Spotlight Sale for 23rd-30th July, 2019 might just have what you need."
It may be hard to firmly define what actually constitutes an "indie" game these days, but here are the best indie games on Xbox One right now.
