When is a Commercial Not a Commercial?

Possibly when Germany has an ad for Mega Man 4. The only problem here (besides the odd robot interstitials) is that the footage is mostly from Mega Man 2: Oh well. It still beats the “he’s called the Blue Bomber because he’s BLUE” spots. News Credit: Protodude’s Rockman Corner TMMN Staff

MegaMan Star Force 3 Release Date: June

That’s right, June. According to Joystiq’s recent article covering Nintendo listing several release dates for Wii/DS games, MegaMan Star Force 3 Black Ace and Red Joker are slated for a June release as opposed to the much rumoured August one. While no specific date has been planned, this should come as a welcome surprise to […]

Five things Legends 3 must have

Mega Man Legends 3 fever is buzzing, folks. More and more you hear people asking about the title, and with last year’s release of Mega Man 9, support for the revival of Legends is beginning to boil over. I don’t see how Capcom can go on as the cries of hungry wolves grow louder. Needless […]

Yet another call out for Legends 3

More petitioning to Capcom for Mega Man Legends 3, this time coming from gaming blog Scrawl, where one Sal feels Capcom should be focusing on the sought after continuation instead of other franchise sequels like the recently announced Dead Rising 2 and Lost Planet 2. I don’t know if I can exactly agree there, since […]

So, Just How Much Do You Like Roll Caskett?

This would be a picture perfect example of being careful of what you wish for. Or, at least, how you wish for it. I’ve been clear before that I hope Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop for the Wii would have a Mega Man costume, just as the Xbox 360 version did. Unfortunately, if this […]

So, Just How Much Do You Like Ciel?

Recently uncovered in a Yahoo! Auction is an ultra-rare piece of merchandise in the form of a Rockman/Mega Man Zero telephone card. It features an original picture of Ciel by series artist Toru Nakayama that you are probably not going to find anywhere else (and if you do, for the Master’s sake, share with us!), […]

Capcom considers more DS titles

As reported by Siliconera, Capcom’s Q&A conference call for the third quarter of the fiscal year reveals the company is considering more DS titles besides the Ace Attorney game currently in the works. I was a little surprised to realize that, despite the great success of the DS, Capcom only released a few DS titles […]

CoroCoro doesn’t deliver

While I haven’t seen it for myself, sources tell me that the latest installment of CoroCoro offers no announcement of any new Rockman title; simply just secret boss info and such for Ryuusei no Rockman 3. Furthermore, no such promise is given for the next issue’s coverage – it only states that it will discuss […]

FANMADE: Why Legends 3 Needs to Be Made on Wii

Awhile back, we posted a link to one fan’s article about why the Wii is a perfect fit for MegaMan Legends. Now, we’ve received a link from a fan named “Main Finger” which leads to an editorial about “Why MegaMan Legends 3 Needs to be Made (and why it should be for Wii).” In it, […]

And the Winner for WiiWare Game of the Year Is…

As if there was any doubt. I just received the latest issue of Nintendo Power, which contains the results for this year’s Nintendo Power Awards. And as one might expect, the Blue Bomber took home the gold in a few categories, courtesy of his latest adventure in Mega Man 9. The other nominees in the […]

Mega Man X9 Should NOT Be 8-Bit

Mega Man 9 was able to use 8-bit graphics as a selling point because six out of the then eight numbered games were on the Famicom / Nintendo Entertainment System. As such, a majority of Mega Man’s fanbase recognized him as a Nintendo icon, an “old-school” figure that hold fond memories of simple controllers, sine […]

Mega Man Legends Beta… Dialogue?

Continuing the recent trend of uncovering old, unused, and changed stuff from the world of Mega Man comes Keiji Dragon’s discovery of a YouTube “video” of unused dialogue from Mega Man Legends. I use the term “video” loosely, as it’s only text describing the dialogue within. Nonetheless, an interesting listen for the the dedicated Mega […]
