Hey guys. I know it's Monday, but I don't really have anything for you. Sorry, I've been kinda busy with other things. So instead, I think I'll answer a few of the questions I've been getting lately.

A Little Something for Voully
click here to read this entry on the new site
For a certain old friend of mine that got in touch with me again recently, and is a huge fan of Mega Man Legends.
Thumbing through the archives of u-Capcom (which I've been going over before the end-of-June close, just in case some content disappears), I found a random trivia bit that I wasn't familiar with before, so I thought I'd share. Sorry if this is old news for some of you, but I think for those who don't know, it's worth retelling.
According to Masahiro Yasuma, a Capcom staff member with various involvements in DASH and EXE, several of the place names in Legends 1 are based off the surnames of DASH staff members. Tracking down the credits, I've put together this list:

- The Cardon Forest, or "Kaadon no mori" カードンの森 in Japanese is most likely named after Kazunori Kadoi, game and engine designer and 3D model animator for DASH 1.
- The Clozer Woods, or "Kuroosaa no mori" クローサーの森 is seemingly named after Shin Kurosawa, a scenario and event planner for DASH 1.
- Lake Jynn or "Juuin-ko" ジュウイン湖 is based off DASH 1's head programmer Masaru Ijuin (who is also the surname inspiration for Enzan/Chaud of EXE).
- Last but not least, Masahiro Yasuma himself is the inspiration for the Yass Plains or "Yasu no sougen" ヤスの草原, as well as the famed "Yasmar Woods" sign that can be found via codes only.

Bye Bye, u-Capcom

Might not matter too much to non-Japanese readers, but u-Capcom, Capcom Japan's official fan site, will be closing up shop at the end of the month. I hope the site stays there and they just stop updating it, since it's a gold mine for obscure Rockman knowledge. Among other draws, it was a place where game developers would answer questions submitted by fans. It had been running since 2005, but now it will be replaced entirely by Mobile Capcom, a site accessible by (so far as I know) Japanese cellphone only. I'll miss you, u-Cap.
