Cracked has a new list up, this one detailing “5 Iconic Characters Who Got Insane Reboots in Foreign Comics.” Interestingly enough, for only being five entries long, two of them go to comic book versions of video game characters. In addition to the story “Super Mario Goes to Hell” from Germany’s Club Nintendo magazine (more […]

Cossack Stage 4 The path to Cossack starts off with some refills, an E-Tank, and a nice view of the night sky. Pakatto and Jumbig are easily dealt with by now, and we’ve already met both in worse situations. TMMN Staff

With Keiji Inafune recently dropping by San Francisco, it looks like he made his way to the Mega Man Boss Battle art gallery. Not only that, but he was caught doing a little Mega graffiti, too. It’s nice to see how much respect Inafune still has for Mega Man even though he can no longer […]
