Mega Man Legends 2 is celebrating its 25-year anniversary today, October 25, 2025. Below, we look back at how its unresolved cliffhanger ending still overshadows its memory.

Mega Man Legends 2 is an unfinished promise. The anime-inspired adventure series was beloved by fans of the blue bomber for its inventive, Zelda-like spin on the classic formula. It was filled with lovable characters who have endured long past the series itself, like Tron Bonne, the Servbots, and the hero, Mega Man Volnutt. But like a serialized cartoon series, the second game in the series ended with a whopper of a cliffhanger--and then never returned to it. The legacy of Legends for the last 25 years has been fans waiting for a resolution that never came.

Spoilers for the Mega Man Legends series follow

The C64 Mini - Black Edition (89 Games)

$120 | Available Now

See at Amazon

Retro Games Limited just launched a new version of its miniature Commodore 64 home computer. The C64 Mini - Black Edition is a limited release that celebrates the talented developers who create modern Commodore games. The Black Edition comes preloaded with The C64 Mini's original 64-game lineup and 25 modern titles, including all-time C64 greats like Sam's Journey and A Pig Quest.

The C64 Mini - Black Edition retails for $120 and is exclusive to Amazon in the United States. Amazon is "temporarily out of stock" on launch day (October 24), but you can still place an order. The original C64 Mini launched in 2018 with a $70 MSRP--you can grab one today from Amazon for only $51. The substantial price hike is probably partially tied to economic changes and tariffs, but the inclusion of the modern games likely played a much larger role.

The vast majority of the new games--19 to be exact--are sold on itch.io by big Commodore 64 publishers, including Psytronik and Protovision. Psytronik's games are usually five bucks or less, but titles published by Protovision tend to carry higher price tags. There are four preloaded Protovision games that would normally cost around $55 combined: Sam's Journey ($24), A Pig Quest ($11.61), MW Ultra ($11), and Yeti Mountain ($9). These are among the most ambitious C64 games around. For instance, developer Knights of Bytes created over 2,000 screens for Sam's Journey's 30 extremely long levels. It's one of the best retro platformers I've ever played (it's also available on NES). In short: The $50 price increase seems more than reasonable.

Marvel Rivals is celebrating Halloween in style, with tons of events, and the opportunity to grab yourself a free Blade skin. The Blade skin is an epic skin called Blade Knight, which sees the Daywalker dress up as Moon Knight for his Halloween costume.

To get the Blade skin, you will need to earn it from the Voyage to Astonish event, which is an event rewards board directly tied to the other event, Marvel Zombies. The way the Voyage to Astonish works is you earn Lanterns by completing missions, primarily in Marvel Zombies. With a Lantern, you can roll your piece on the board, moving based on the number you roll. You will always land on a new reward, so it takes 21 total Lanterns to claim all rewards. While you can get Blade Knight for free, premium rewards are included in the premium event pass, which costs 690 Lattice ($7).

Blade Knight is located towards the end of the board, requiring several Lanterns before you could potentially reach the skin.

Both events run through November 14.

For years, Netflix has told investors that it's serious about investing in the video game industry. But the streamer's ambitions may need to be re-calibrated again. Boss Fight--the studio behind Netflix's Squid Game: Unleashed mobile game--has been shut down.

David Rippy, the CEO and co-founder of Boss Fight, shared the news on his LinkedIn page, and shared his gratitude for the experience:

"Thanks, everyone who reached out today," wrote Rippy. "Rough news, for sure, but I'm very grateful for the time we had at Netflix. We worked with some awesome people and made many games that I'm very proud of, including Squid Game Unleashed, which hit #1 in 26 countries. You'll see lots of Boss Fighters with similar posts. Please consider them if you have any open roles--they are outstanding people and true professionals through-and-through. As for Bill, Scott and me--we're going to take a little breather before tackling whatever is next. Love to hear from you if there's anything interesting going on, workwise or otherwise."

It's surprising that Plants Vs. Zombies hasn't attracted more imitators. The charming and intuitive strategy game helped make a name for PopCap and spawned a massive franchise including merch, comic books, and interestingly, more competitive team shooters than strategy games. But while it lends itself to comparisons to tower-defense games, its key mechanics are still basically singular to PvZ itself. Plants Vs. Zombies: Replanted brings a nicely modernized facelift to the original game, and while this remaster offers only a few new frills, the game itself is still one of a kind.

For those new to the series, or who have only played the Garden Warfare spin-offs, the core idea of Plants Vs. Zombies is deceptively simple. You're the owner of a house beset by a zombie apocalypse, and your only defense is an army of living plants. You collect sunlight to power your seeds, which you plant across five horizontal rows as zombies approach from the right side. You can plant Sunflowers to generate extra sunlight, and you're constantly juggling priorities as zombies approach from the other lanes. If they reach your plants, they'll chomp down on them and you'll have to replant them, so it's best to keep them from reaching that far at all. As the game continues, it constantly adds new wrinkles, like nighttime levels where you have less access to sunlight and need to rely on fungi, or a pool where you need to plant lilypads for your other offensive plants to sit on. This is alongside a steady stream of new zombie types that demand different configurations of plant defenses.

And the zombies themselves, in this case, are far from threatening. They're goofy and often even kind of cute, with cartoonish affectations like a propeller hat or a disco outfit to signify which type of zombie they are. A zombie with a cone or metal bucket on its head will take more hits before you can knock the cone off and finish it off, a football zombie has heavy defense and also charges more quickly at you, and so on.

A new Season 1 update for Battlefield 6 is coming to PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, bringing a huge collection of changes and fixes to the military shooter. This includes adjustments for "core movement and animations," weapon accuracy and handling, visibility and lighting improvements, and a whole bunch more.

Update 1.1.1.0, which Battlefield Studios posted to X on October 24, will arrive on October 28. The update is huge and the patch notes are long, but the changes and fixes planned appear to be some welcome adjustments to a game that's getting dragged by the community.

Some of the improvements revolve around "core movement and animations," which include smoothing landings, speeding up stance transitions, and reducing "bouncing" issues. Other adjustments are centered on "weapon dispersion" to make guns feel and shoot better. The patch will also overhaul audio, update the HUD and UI, and fix map problems to address spawn animations and misaligned assets to improve overall stability.

Activision has released a new trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 featuring Peter Stormare's fan-favorite fictional character, The Replacer. But the twist with this new ad is that The Replacer is busy on a space flight to Mars with celebrities, so he needs to call in "Replacer replacers."

Activision said in a news release that the video is a "tongue-in-cheek play on the Blue Origin celebrity space adventure we saw unfold this year, but this time things go sideways…"

That's a reference to Jeff Bezos' space company, which sent celebrities like Katy Perry, Gayle King, and his now-wife, Lauren Sanchez, to low orbit. The mission was roundly mocked for being tone-deaf and cringey, and now Activision is joining in and making a lighthearted jab at it as well.

There are few unmade video games more famous than Silent Hills and its beloved Playable Trailer. Although P.T. is now very hard to find since Konami took it offline, an instructor in Japan is using it as a tool to teach students how to speak English.

Tsunan Secondary School in Niigata Prefecture shared a blog entry (via IGN) that demonstrated how an assistant language teacher utilized P.T. in class as a learning tool. Students were invited to play through P.T. in English, while other members of the class would get to weigh in on what the player should do next by using English phrases.

The blog noted that alarmingly loud ringing telephone from P.T. startled the fifth-year students, who are roughly the same age as high school sophomores. But this is one of the most novel ways to learn another language. It's impressive they have the game at all considering that the only easy way to play it is with PlayStation 4 consoles that downloaded it before P.T. was taken down.

Battlefield 6 has posted some impressive numbers since launch, but right now, it looks like the game has some competition. While Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 won't be out until next month, indie eggs-traction shooter Escape From Duckov is busy climbing the charts on Steam. For a brief time, the viral indie game had 152,207 concurrent players, beating Battlefield 6 during that time period with its concurrent-player count of 129,729 players.

Spotted by Dexerto, Escape From Duckov outshone Battlefield 6 during that period before the current Steam status quo reasserted itself. The game has proven to be a big hit with players since launch, and what makes the achievement even more impressive is that the duck-themed parody of Escape From Tarkov is the product of the five-person team known as Team Soda. At the time of writing, Escape From Duckov has peaked at 257,952 concurrent players on Steam.

Over 1 million copies of the game were sold during its first five days, and Team Soda has been working to fine-tune and improve the experience. A recent patch added a dose of reality to the game by discouraging players from eating poop in the game, and mod support has been added.
