Okay, so it’s time to talk about MMN’s fan art galleries. I’m proud to say the galleries are restored, and now WGA and Fan Art galleries can start again! WGA is acutally going to be the same. You can submit your images through my email, the forums and what not. The fan art has a […]

Overview: Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X is a dream come true for the hardened X fan; well, possibly. There are some who feel its placement on the Sony PSP as opposed to the Nintendo DS is a stab to the series’ roots. I’ll bring that up later, though. If you are a big time X […]

Since Heat Man decided to take us on a trip back in time with the commercials for the original Rockman games in Japan, I did want to say (as I often do whenever the opportunity affords itself) that there is a single Mega Man advertisement which I think did a very good, if not excellent […]

I don’t mean to sound like a Japanophile or anything, but the commercials Capcom of Japan produces for the Rockman games are so much cooler than the ones we occasionally get in the west. I was always a big Mega Man fan, but if I’d seen these commercials as a kid they’d have made me […]

The most recent issue of Nintendo Power features a little preview of the upcoming third installment in the Star Force series to the western world: MegaMan Star Force 3 Black Ace and Red Joker. The article only talks a little about the game’s major features, and the screenshots are still in Japanese, but one thing […]

by theory C In 1998, MegaMan Legends changed everything you thought you knew about the iconic Blue Bomber. No longer were you limited to two dimensions, no longer did you get to choose your levels in the order you liked, no longer were jumping and shooting the only things that mattered. In fact, Capcom changed […]

by theory C MegaMan Legends is not your typical MegaMan fare. At long last, Capcom has given the blue robot a new direction, entering him into the realm of 3D. And unlike past MegaMan titles, this isn’t a shoot ’em up; this is as pure an action/adventure/RPG as you’re ever going to see. Add to […]

With my last update on the boss contest, a handful of people were wanting to enter. This isn’t uncommon, I’ve supported us gaijin entering the contests for a while now. So, here’s what you need to do. First, as in the before post, you need to create a design with a name, attacks, other special […]

I think we missed this one while getting everything moved over to our new host here, but for those interested, Eddie Lebron, who is directing his own Mega Man fan film, recently held a Q&A session with video game blogsite Destructoid. There, he explains everything from his funding to Capcom’s reaction to the project, and […]

With the release of Mega Man 9 and slivers of info about an all new Mega Man game in the works, fan enthusiasm has been on the rise, especially with the proposal for reviving other series. One of Capcom’s big watchwords as of late has been “We’ll make it if enough fans want it!” Following […]

Dramatic death scenes aren’t limited to just Zero and Iris in X4. Check out this Rockman 9 parody of the scene, with Blues mourning the loss of Splash Woman. I have to say, I’m impressed by the quality of the art here. The video maker got the classic Rockman style down perfectly. News Credit: Protodude’s […]

It’s always nice to see the gaming media give praise to the people who work very hard behind the scenes on games.  Gametrailers has recently put up their top 10 game creators and the creator of Mega Man/Rockman comes in at number 9. Link: GT Countdown – Top Ten Game Creators LanceHeartlocalhost/tmmn
