Given the presence and impact of the space colony Eurasia in multiple Mega Man games, I felt this might be of some interest to our readers. 17-year old Eric Yam of Toronto, Ontario recently won a NASA grand prize for designing Asten, “a democratic colony far above Earth that looks like a giant cylinder, has […]

Want to go to your favorite anime, video game, or comic convention this Summer as two of the most memorable characters from the MegaMan Legends series, but don’t have the skill/are too lazy to bring them to life? Never fear, because eBay is here, and they’ve brought Tron in her Gustaff mech and a giant […]

It was recently brought to our attention by Klonoa that none other than Mega Man has been nominated to be inducted into the Robot Hall of Fame. As such, he joins other esteemed nominees as Data from Star Trek, Wall-E, Optimus Prime, and the current leader, Bender Bending Rodriguez of Futurama fame. If you would […]

Some could argue that Mega Man’s North American box was the absolute worst Western box art to grace a Japanese game’s overseas version.  In that vein, Bungie sought to recreate the same horrors with their own top series.  GameSpy now has the final product for all to see.  Brace yourselves! Created by the actual artist […]

I’ve never made any secret of the fact that I’m a big fan of TransFormers, but the thought of crossing Mega Man with them has never really crossed my mind (even with Keiji Inafune and the TransFormers essentially sharing the same birthday. However, one fan has apparently gone so far as to combine the Blue […]

Caught this one over on GoNintendo. These songs are more than 20 years apart, but they may have more in common than you think. Give ’em a listen and see for yourself. Of course, there are a few well known cases of Mega Man music sounding like other music from the mainstream. I listed this […]

Pop the bubbly and cut the cake, because good ol’ Keiji Inafune, creator of our beloved Mega Man, is celebrating his 44th birthday. Wow, 44 years old. That means for nearly half of his life, Inafune has been working on Mega Man (of course for many of us, it’s an even bigger percentage). But that’s […]

Ah, now here’s yet another blast from the past, one which I bet fewer Mega Man fans are familiar with. Many of us remember the Ruby-Spears Mega Man animated series which ran in syndication, went to Fox Family, then was released on DVD and then re-released on DVD again more recently. At the time of […]

Just when you thought Capcom couldn’t be releasing more games this year, they go and tell Joystiq they’re aiming for another 20 to 40 PSOne and PSP games to be released in the next few months. With that large a number, there’s bound to be at least one Mega Man game in there.  Here’s hoping […]

The latest issue of Famitsu contained a reader survey of which game series people want most. And wouldn’t you know it, of the fifty games included in the list, both Rockman DASH and Rockman X landed on the list. In fact, they placed fairly high, with Rockman DASH coming in 7th and Rockman X coming […]

Watching people play Mega Man games may not be quite as fun as playing them yourself, but it can be just as rewarding when it’s for a good cause. After the success of last year’s Mega Marathon Man, a non-stop Mega Man gaming session where viewers could watch and donate money to charity, Chuck and […]

Coming on May 26th to Japan will be the second reprints of the first two volumes from the Rockman Megamix manga by artist Hitoshi Ariga. Preorders are now being taken on Amazon of Japan for these 1,600 Yen (approximately $15) books. For collectors, the big draw here is the new covers made for the books […]
