In the series’ continuing quest to be unpredictable, Mega Man Rush Marine takes Mega Man and his canine companion’s submersible form to defend the waters from the evil Dr. Wily. I’d almost not believe it myself except that the retro-styled shooter is slated for release on mobile phones. It seems even Dr. Wily is feeling […]

A while back we posted about a proof of concept game called Mega Man 2.5D which featured being able to play Mega Man 2 in rotating environments.  A new update by the author of the first video is out and details what’s been added.  It features more Mega Man 2 content, from Quick Man’s beams […]

It’s usually Japan who gets all the fun stuff, but not this time. Now, we can curse Korea for getting the greatest coffee mugs ever: Ironically, as you can see, the Servbot mugs aren’t to promote a new Mega Man Legends game, nor even Marvel vs. Capcom 2‘s impending arrival on Xbox LIVE Arcade and […]

Now here’s something interesting: An old promotional video blurb for Mega Man 5 on the Game Boy and Super Game Boy: Interesting timing, I must say, as this past weekend a Anime North, I finally managed to acquire that one for a mere ten dollars. No box or booklet, but no complaints, either, given I […]

It’s kind of a slow news day today, but then, it’s Memorial Day, so what do you expect? To that end, it might interest some of you to know that during the intervening slowness of today’s video game news, Kotaku has apparently developed a serious– er, “passion” for all beings mechanical, and seem to be […]

It seems that Anime Boston has brought some new and unexpected news to the world of Mega Man. Word has it that FUNimation, most famously (as well as infamously) for their use of the North American Dragon Ball anime license, reportedly announced at the convention that it has acquired the distribution rights for the Ruby […]

The original Mega Man’s sister, Roll, has had her foot dipped in the fighting game genre for some time now, thanks to the Marvel VS. Capcom titles, but things were shaken up a bit as she joined the Tatsunoko VS. Capcom roster. In Capcom’s latest VS. title, Roll ditched the red Buster for the broomstick […]

It’s amazing what a little publicity can do. After we reported on Mega Man’s nomination to be inducted into the Robot Hall of Fame, the story was picked up by Protodude’s Rockman Corner, Capcom*Unity, and more, and in the process, it would seem that the Blue Bomber has garnered quite a bit of support. Whereas […]

Remember the G.I. Joe/Mega Man crossover figure we reported on last week? Well, it appears that Jin Saotome is back at it again, and this time, he’s bringing in the Blue Bomber’s older bro to join the struggle. But will he side with a real American hero, or assist the evil terrorist organization determined to […]

Blame the pigs!  Just kidding. The Nordic Game conference has confirmed that Inafune can’t attend due to Capcom’s rules concerning foreign travel during the H1N1 epidemic/pandemic.  While it’s a regrettable development and is quite disappointing for fans of his franchises, know that he’s currently being replaced by Team 17’s Martyn Brown (of no relation to […]

In a completely shocking turn of events, Capcom has decided to bring over this mishmash cross over fighting game outside of Japan. Found here on GoNintendo, it appears that the July issue of Nintendo Power will be featuring a story on the english edition of this spiritual sequel to Capcom vs Marvel 2 that was […]

Since the last wave of Jazwares’ Mega Man action figure line, which featured characters such as Cut Man, Proto Man, Command Mission Mega Man X, and Rush, as well as their “Retro Roto” figures modeled after the oldschool art style, the company had seemingly gone silent until the 2009 U.S. Toy Fair a few months […]
