Mega Man & Bass makes its USA consle debut on today on Wii U

“Mega May” kicks into full gear today, and I don’think my fandom can handle it! We just got the long overdue release of The Misadventures of Tron Bonne on Thursday via the PlayStation Network, and now Capcom is carrying the torch for the rest of the month with a helping of other releases on the Wii U Virtual Console.

First up is another game that marks a bit of a milestone. For many years, Mega Man & Bass was one of those mythical “Holy Grail” games that only existed in Japan thanks to an incredibly late Super Famicom release… in 1998! Most fans were already playing Mega Man X4 and Mega Man 8 on their PlayStations by this point, so it’s quite obvious why the game never got released for the North American Super Nintendo.

Fast forward to 2003, English speaking fans finally got an official chance to play the game thanks to a decent port on the Game Boy Advance. This was the first time that players could control Mega Man’s rival Bass in a video game, and it was the best chance to enjoy classic Mega Man on the handheld while the Mega Man Zero franchise took it in another direction.

Unless fans bought the Game Boy Advance Player adapter for the GameCube though, it remained a handheld exclusive… until today.

We are now in May 2015, and Mega Man & Bass is finally making its console debut in North America thanks to the Wii U Virtual Console. This is the Game Boy Advance version, so don’t expect the technical masterpiece of the Super Famicom game. However, the blips and bloops of the soundtrack aside, it’s a pretty decent version and more than solid enough if you need a classic Mega Man fix.

Mega Man & Bass can be picked up for $7.99, and unless you are lost head-over-heels in The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, like I am, then I suggest you give it a try. Next week’s game is Mega Man Battle Network 3.

Exec behind “Next Big Thing” campaign has departed Samsung

Samsung Mobile CMO, Todd Pendleton, has reportedly departed the company, according to CNET . Pendleton is credited with creating Samsung’s famous “Next Big Thing” campaign, which took aim at the company’s rivals while highlighting the benefits of its own mobile lineup. The ads were smart, terse, and ultimately helped raise the awareness of Samsung’s brand as a major smartphone maker here in the U.S. It’s unclear why Pendleton left, but it’s being reported that Samsung executives became dissatisfied with the campaign’s recent success, even going so far as auditing the mobile division’s Dallas headquarters. It seems you can only use the Next Big Thing tagline so many times; the commercials have taken a decidedly different turn over the past few months, focusing on design, functionality and features rather than bashing Samsung competitors. The timing, I suppose, seems appropriate given that Samsung has just unveiled two new flagships, the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. Samsung is clearly

You can now control PowerPoint for iPhone with your Apple Watch

Want to master the CMO role? Join us for GrowthBeat Summit on June 1-2 in Boston , where we'll discuss how to merge creativity with technology to drive growth. Space is limited and we're limiting attendance to CMOs and top marketing execs. Request your personal invitation here ! Microsoft today updated its PowerPoint for iOS app with a rather bizarre update: remote Apple Watch support. You can download the new version now directly from Apple’s App Store . We say this addition is “bizarre” because, well, why would anyone want to control PowerPoint on their iPhone from their Apple Watch? This PowerPoint app also works on the iPad , and we would argue it makes more sense to control a presentation on your tablet from your wrist than one that is on your smartphone. Here is the changelog so you can try to make sense of it yourself: PowerPoint Remote for Apple Watch: control your slide show on iPhone with a beautifully simple app. Start your slide show and easily navigate to

Gears of War leakers punished by Microsoft

Footage of the Gears of War remaster currently in production leaked this week . Microsoft took swift action as a result, banning and suspending the accounts and consoles of the people who broke NDA. When you sign up to be a beta tester on very early projects like these, you sign a Nondisclosure Agreement. These NDAs are usually pretty tight and make clear what you are and aren’t allowed to talk about and what the consequences might be for breaking the agreement. In the case of these leaks, it seems that the leak actually went against not only the NDA the users in question signed when they started working with the firm handling the testing but against Microsoft’s End User License Agreement as well. The firm, VMC, sent out a letter to all its testers in the wake of the leak, stating that Microsoft has permanently disabled the Xbox Live accounts of the users in question, as well as any accounts unfortunate enough to be on the system at the time. Additionally, the console itself has be
