T-Shirt Contest Winners, and Who You Want to Represent Mega Man’s 25th

The time has finally come! After far too long a wait (my sincerest apologies– travel + illness + work does not a fun combination make. It’s not a good excuse, but it’s all I have), we are now ready to reveal the winners of our collaborative contest with Capcom Unity and the Capcom Store to […]

Have a Merry Brettmas, Everyone!

We’re a little late on this, but better late than never! Time for another random celebration of a Capcom employee playing a Mega Man game! Put on your festive overalls, bake a holiday meatloaf and fill top hats with coal. It’s Brettmas! Lo, in the ancient times (a couple weeks ago); simpler times, there was […]

Powerglove Goes to Japan with Mega– er, Rockman

With but one small exception, we haven’t said much about the speed metal group Powerglove. It hasn’t been by design or anything, merely circumstance. However, today brings a little bit of news to help us change that. TMMN Staff

Bandai D-Arts Zero Type 2 Contest

Yeah Zero is cool, blah blah blah. I wasted all my ridiculous prose writing for the opening post, and you’re not here for that crap anyway. You’ve got no time for it; you’re just that cool, aren’t you? So let’s cut to the chase. We got two Zero figures. You wanna win ’em. Show us […]

Mega Man X2 Releasing on European Wii VC This Week

Mega Man Cartoon Opening Remade in 8-Bit Style

Say what you will about the Ruby-Spears Mega Man cartoon, but at least it had a cool opening. Which is why it made perfect sense for YouTube user ColoniaContraAtaca to remake it in the style of the games which inspired it: You can compare it with the original here, or watch the two side-by-side together […]

Over the past week, 1UP has run a series of themed articles under the common theme of “What If?: Gaming’s Alternate Realities.” In these hypothetical situations, we get an idea of how the video game industry might have been different had it not been for certain influential factors and events taking place. Naturally, as you’ve […]

Is “Blue Bomber” a Blight on Mega Man?

For nearly as long as Mega Man has been around, fans and the media have also known the robot hero as the “Blue Bomber.” We’ve discussed the origin of this term in the past, but now the question has been put forth: is it really appropriate for Dr. Light’s prized creation? That is the question […]

Rockman Tracks from Zoku Fami Compi

The curious licensed Famicom album Zoku Fami Compi is out today in Japan. As we reported before, it’s the second CD in a series of arrangements from various Famicom (NES) games. Given the interests of viewers to this site, I thought it relevant to let you hear the album’s tracks from Rockman and Rockman 2. […]
