Month: March 2012

It’s been a full year since the cancellation of Mega Man Universe. It happened to be on my birthday too, making it just a little more special! Anyway, as much as I’ve racked my brain, I don’t have much insightful to say on the matter. Some say this marked the beginning of Mega Man’s downfall, […]

If there is one thing we’ve learned from running articles about Mega Man-ish science showing up in real life, it’s that most Mega Man fans really don’t care. A lesson well-learned, and we’ve held up a pretty good streak of not informing you how close to the robot apocalypse you really are. But, that streak […]

So once again, I really dropped the ball on a contest. Specifically our SFxT Roll artwork contest. The deadline is a couple of days, but to be honest I don’t think we’ve received a single entry. This time I apparently forget to even list the contest among our others. As a result it’s pretty much […]

We’ve been following Banpresto’s teaser for a 3DS collaboration game between Capcom, Sega and Bandai Namco Games without any real certainty what to expect, and now the stakes have raised more for Mega Man fans. A new “pixelsome” has been added to the Petri that appears to represent Mega Man X; a followup to one […]

Attention, Mega Fans! …well, those of you who enjoy the Archie Mega Man comic, first and foremost. The new April issue of Nintendo Power magazine (volume 277 features a terrific three-page interview with none other than writer Ian Flynn, as he addresses a number of topics regarding the brief past, promising present, and potential future […]

Nintendolife reports that Mega Man 5 will be hitting the Wii Virtual Console this Thursday, March 29th.  The NES classic that introduced us to Beat, the Super Arrow and that weird Rush Coil variation will cost 500 Wii Points. While we wait on both sides of the Atlantic for news from Capcom regarding re-releasing more […]

Mega Man X, Zero, Axl, and even Vile have all seen their share of figures and merchandise released sporting their names and visage (Vile’s upcoming D-Arts being his third figure, at that). But when it comes to being immortalized in plastic, it seems that Sigma most often comes up short– especially considering he’s the series’ […]

Recently, some of IGN’s staff had an opportunity to meet real-life Mega Man father-figure Keiji Inafune. Naturally, they did what many of us have wanted to do over the years… Unfortunately for them, it seems they forgot that Inafune no longer has anything to do with the Mega Man series, though he’ll clearly pretend if […]

After the defeat of the Yellow Devil, it’s on to Wily Stage 2. Stage 2 puts you in front of a gap with a Heli flying over it. Two more appear when you get to the edge, so it’s best to wait for the second one to come to you before jumping. Not bad, but […]

We would just like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Facebook group 100,000 Strong for Mega Man Legends 3 (aka “Get Me Off the Moon”) on reaching a new milestone today. For a while, it seemed that the numbers had slowed down a bit after they reached the 50,000 mark. But recently, they have […]

At 3pm PT today, Capcom Unity is holding their monthly livestream with Mega Man 3, the common counterargument to Mega Man 2 for which NES Blue Bomber title is the best. And this month’s contest is a unique one: as you watch the stream, you must make a note of each time they die and […]

And it’s so intense. Vile (known as VAVA in Japan) is getting powered up with a second shoulder cannon for his Bandai Premium release. Unlike in North America, VAVA is being released in Japan as an online exclusive figure. Orders have opened up, and will run through to April 9th; not an especially long time […]
