The Decade in Review: 200X – 200X

About a week ago, Heat Man came to me and said “you know, it’s going to be the year 20XX soon. You should write something reflecting that.” And then he went and wrote his own article, so now you get two of these things. With that said, let us take a look back on the […]

So Long 200X… Hello 20XX

If you’re anything of a Mega Man fan, the ambiguous dating system of the series should be very familiar to you. For example, the Battle Network series takes place in 200X. The X series occurs through 21XX. Star Force kicks in at 22XX. Legends… honestly, I don’t really know; I think they used the Mayan […]

Charge Kick… does it not suck?

A short while back, we were introduced to some videos that attempted to dispel the idea that the weapon Top Spin in fact sucked. Today Redmage1987 attempts to prove that same fact, but now about Mega Man 5’s Charge Kick. The video above is the first in a series of eight stages played entirely with […]

Rumor: OSS Multiplayer Coming to DSiWare?

Rumor has it that rather than risk sinking money into a DS port-plus version of Mega Man Battle Network in Operate Shooting Star, Capcom may instead simply lift the multiplayer mode from the title and release it independently on Nintendo’s DSiWare downloadable video game service. The mini-game, known as “Star Colosseum,” allows six players to […]

9 Reasons Why Mega Man 6 is Tops

Personally, I’ve always felt that Mega Man 6 was underrated among the NES titles in the series. And apparently, someone at Destructoid feels the same way. Okay, so I think that Mega Man 2 and 3 might be better, but I still think 6 was a good addition to the series, and I’m glad Nintendo […]

In the spirit of the day, here’s a little more bizarre Mega Man Christmas joy for you to partake in from the OAV mini-series Upon a Star, which is now available on iTunes: As it turns out, Protodude had the same idea I did, though he took it to a rather north polar-extreme, and has […]

Is Mega Man: Rush Marine All Washed Up?

Earlier this month, the long-awaited cellphone game Mega Man: Rush Marine was at last released. Then, Mega Man 10 was announced, and everyone promptly forgot about propulsion-powered red robodogs swimming through the tide. Well, almost everyone.

Let’s Go Racing! It’s Mega Man Funny Car Madness!

It’s been quite some time since Mega Man last took to the race track in Mega Man Battle & Chase; over a decade, in fact, in a game which North America never even got to lay its hands on until 2006’s Mega Man X Collection for the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube. Since then, Capcom […]
