By now my predictions for the boss character contest have been pretty off, but as more details come in it’s looking more like this is a boss character contest like none other before. According to our viewer Fireman, the deadline for the contest is indeed February 13th, and the winner will be announced April (in […]

Remember when George Lucas decided to gussy up all those old Star Wars movies with modern day polish, special effects, and new footage, effectively ruining them in the eyes of many fans? Well, this isn’t quite as bad as all that, namely because the anime cutscenes in Mega Man X4 have nowhere to go but […]

Online magazine Game Informer has an interview with the man, Keiji Inafune, up for reading, and he talks a little about Mega Man among other things. (Hey, if you got to meet George Lucas, would you not talk to him about Star Wars?) A bit of his discussion includes talk about reviving old franchises in […]

UNIQLO, a Japanese T-Shirt designer, is now teasing a partnership with game companies including Capcom, SEGA, Sony, Taito, Hudson, and Bandai Namco in order to bring the world some pretty interesting game T-Shirts. I’ll let you figure out who’s who.  The new shirts will be featured as of March 2009. Link: UTxJAPAN GAME LanceHeartlocalhost/tmmn

Anyone who knows of Lucky Star also knows of the tons of remixes that have ended up on Nico Nico Douga and subsequently Youtube.  While some are basically remixes that overlap songs, a few stand out and are copied ad nauseam with other characters.  Here’s my latest finds based on the Lucky Star version of […]

In addition to a new Darkstalkers Graphic File book from Udon, Capcom has brought forth delightful news for all the little Mega Boys and Mega Girls out there who so love Mega Merchandise. Though not in stock just yet, Capcom is taking preorders for the “Mega Man 9” soundtrack, which you can find in their […]

Protodude has gotten hold of a scan from the latest Coro-Coro, which seems to give some more info about the new Rockman contest in Japan. Heat Man, the site’s translator, is in the middle of personal business right now and can’t be reached for translation, but Protodude claims that she can make out details about […]

Hitoshi Ariga, writer/artist for the popular Rockman Megamix and Rockman Remix manga (among others, such as The Big O) has bestowed upon fans a double-helping of New Year’s tidings. First, he’s crafted the New Year’s card (aka “nengajou“) you see at right, as is apparently a customary tradition for many a game developer and artist […]

I was browsing the homie Rodrigo Shin’s blog after I got home from school and peeped an interesting post with some X3 pictures. Turns out they’re pictures from something called the “Rockman X3 Capture Book.” I can’t quite make out what the deal is on it, but I assume it’s some kind of tutorial book. […]

We have a new Rockman boss contest coming up soon, and I feel like wagering on what I think it’ll be. Granted, I’m not crazy about making predicitions, partly because I don’t like being wrong. On top of that, information of the boss contest will surface any day now – it might even come up […]

This one’s a little more all-purpose gaming, but I wanted to share nonetheless. Apparently, Melodie here is a really fast learner, and so her parents have taken advantage of this to get her started on the road to gaming by creating a set of flash cards which each depict a different gaming character (including our […]

Well, it’s finally done. Eh, sort of. The holiday season slowed us down a little, but we have finally re-established ourself on a new server, and as you can see, things have been shaken up a little bit. The first thing you may notice is this: The Mega Man Network Blog. With this, we hope […]
