Has the final Mega Man 9 secret been discovered? Probably not, but this is a pretty neat Easter Egg nonetheless. First, observe the following screenshot from Mega Man 9. Take note of the circled area: Next, check out this screen from the opening of Mega Man 4, which details the origin of the Blue Bomber: […]

We all know about the raffle prize Sony and Capcom did to commemorate the launch of Rockman 9 on PSN in Japan.  Now we’ll all have a chance to play as the Blue Bomber in the Complete Works version of Rockman 1, releasing on August 12th 2009 for Japan’s PlayStation Network Game Archives (known in […]

For the second year running, we are proud to announce that the second “OtaRockman” Mega Man panel at Otakon, held at 12:45pm on Saturday, July 18th, was a success. This was thanks in part to the Otakon staff moving us to a larger room than the workshop room we filled at the last minute in […]

During the short but remarkable run of the Mega Man Legends series, Capcom took a break between the two major titles to release a curious game focusing on a series antagonist instead of a protagonist. 10 years ago, on July 22nd, 1999, that game released in Japan as Tron ni Kobun, but we know it […]

So, I was finally allowed to wreak havoc on the site and claim it as my own, damning it for all eternity have my own critic column, attacking carefully analyzing the Mega Man franchise. It’s called Syl’s E-Can Refill. Can’t you tell how awesome it’ll be by the picture? Yeah, I agree, it will be […]

Looks like Jin Saotome is at it again! Previously, we posted about custom-made Mega Man and Proto Man figures that were sold on eBay. Now three more have been added to the set! You can find Snake Man (pictured on the right), Heat Man, and Zero up for auction on Jin’s eBay store. As with […]

I could guess that Mega Man accidentally stumbled upon Iron Man’s lair, and confused him somehow for one of Wily’s robot masters. But […]

It should be no surprise that Capcom’s Seth Killian is keeping quiet on MM9’s “secret.” There’s no reason to even keep posting about it. But I am, just to keep the issue fresh in all of your minds and make you angry. As long as this has gone on, I’m really beginning to speculate what […]

Yes, yes, we already reported about the Rockman Rockman/Irregular Hunter X value pack and its included soundtrack releasing in Japan. But back then we didn’t know how the bonus soundtrack would be handled. Today e-Capcom makes it clear: the soundtrack is coming with every initial print of the game. What does this mean? It means […]

Make sure your luggage is packed away well, and that you have your ticket ready to be checked by an attendant, because it’s all aboard again. In my last segment, the primary argument in my speculation was that Rockman EXE: Operate Shooting Star would more likely be a brand new Battle Network game instead of […]

Hot on the heels of a 1.0 rating from IGN and criticism from fans, Capcom has published a much needed updated for the iPhone version of Mega Man 2.  According to Capcom Unity’s Snow Infernus, the game sports new on-screen controls and a few other additions.
