Looks like the original Mega Man is getting around the net even more than his EXE counterpart these days. Here’s just a few things going on with people talking about the Blue Bomber: – Following up on his previous article about the merits of Mega Man 9’s different approach, Jeremy “Toastyfrog” Parish has looked back […]

As you are all well aware of by now, Mega Man 9 is coming this Fall. As such, we at The Mega Man Network want to look back on the classic saga, one game at a time. To celebrate the return of our site to working order (yay!), we’ve released our Mega Man site theme. […]

According to Yahoo! News Japan, Rockman 9 will cost 1,000 Wii points when it releases in September in Japan, so we can probably expect the same price. Being a NES-styled game some might think this is a little much, but when you consider it’s the revival of a great franchise plus it will offer downloadable […]

Ok, so while not technically a Mega Man cameo, it is a cameo that relates to Mega Man, as a familiar icon of sorts appears in Bionic Commando Rearmed, the Xbox Live/PlayStation Network remake of the original NES game Bionic Commando, and the prequel to the upcoming next-generation Bionic Commando title for those same consoles. […]

It’s short, but being that it’s Mega Man 9, it’s bound to get you amped up. GoNintendo has a video with a couple small clips from Mega Man 9. Purportedly, these were extracted from a recent interview with Keiji Inafune that was featured on NicoNico Video (Japan’s YouTube). Even being just 20 seconds of footage, […]

Just wanted to pass along word of an interesting article by Jeremy “Toastyfrog” Parish, as he looks at the upcoming Mega Man 9 and points out the merits of the return to 8-bit, and how it may very well be a good thing for the industry at large. LanceHeartlocalhost/tmmn

Mega Man Star Force, the animated series that is, was pretty much relegated to online showings. For those who may want to watch it on a bigger screen however, you’re in luck – if you live in Europe. A 3-disc set of the Mega Man Star Force series has appeared on both Play.com and Amazon […]

You may have had a bit of trouble accessing MMN in the past few days. It appears we’re still getting traffic ever since having unleashed Mega Man 9 upon the world, and the server is having a hard time accounting for all the added activity. We’re hoping this is something just temporary and will die […]

ITmedia has posted an article concerning a bit of info for Mega Man Star Force 3. Mostly it talks about the game’s four featured characters as of now, Geo, Bud, Solo and Shidou, and also shows off color variations for the Hunter VG. It also highlights that the title will assuredly have new transformations, and […]

Capcom of Japan is finally weighing in on the MM9 excitement, by announcing Rockman 9 themselves. They plan to post a promotional site for the game on July 15th. But that’s not all. Leading up to the release excitement, they’ll also be release Rockman on the Wii’s Virtual Console in July, and Rockman 2 on […]

Following a week of celebrating Mega Man, GamesRadar has an exclusive interview with MM franchise founder Keiji Inafune. Or if you’re just hungry for content, you can take a look at the screenshots here. With this kind of compassion for the old style games and getting involved with the development, it certainly seems we can […]

GoNintendo Found a scan from Famitsu with information on Rockman 9. The subtitle for this game seems to be something along the lines of Yabou no Fukkatsu!! (The Ambition’s Revival!!). There seems to be a (obvious) screen from Jewel Man’s stage, some new pics, and some revised old pictures. The scan slates Rockman 9 to […]
