Month: September 2009

I know Bright Man very well. He was the first boss I managed to conquer in Mega Man 4. I don’t recall what burned within me to take him down first, but that was my goal. It was fairly easy going, until he unfurled that blasted Flash Stopper. If you were lucky he’d just shoot […]

We have some bad news. It looks like the “Mega Man: Complete History” book we posted about back in July has been canceled. Here’s the official word: “Unfortunately this book will not be published, but we are coming out with a Street Fighter book. I let the person who worked on this book know and […]

Capcom of Japan’s Rockman EXE Operate Shooting Star homepage receives updating tonight. What you’ll probably be wanting to see most is here, the game info area. This now has sections for OSS’s storyline, scenarios and game systems. In the game system, we see that MegaMan will still be using the old power up system, with […]

…but I simply could not help myself: TMMN Staff

To compliment our previous report, that sexy Protodude has got a sexy big scan of this month’s CoroCoro report on Rockman EXE Operate Shooting Star. There isn’t any integral new information, but from the image we can confirm the existing of GutsMan, FireMan and NumberMan in the game (NumberMan isn’t shown but screens from his […]

The album project that Ippo Yamada mentioned on the Spiceman blog a short while back has been revealed, and it’s indeed Mega Man themed. Called “Chip Tuned Rockman,” the album will feature 20 tracks from a wide selection of classic Mega Man/Rockman titles that have been arranged with a chip tune flavor (i.e. 8-bit style). […]

For your importing pleasure, the Irregular Hunter X/Rockman Rockman Value Pack has gone on sale in Japan today. The budget compilation includes both Irregular Hunter X and Rockman Rockman for PSP, as well as a special soundtrack containing a selection of 30 total tracks from both titles. The soundtrack sleeve also features original Capcom artwork. […]

In news not relating to Mega Man (that we know of), but still of some potential interest to fans of the Blue Bomber is that Capcom’s Head of Research & Development and Online Business, Keiji Inafune, recently visited the studios of Bungie, developer of the massively popular Halo series for Microsoft. Bungie assures everyone that […]

With Mega Man Star Force 3 having been released not very long ago, it feels kind of weird to think that another game is coming out so soon. Of course, Japan has had Ryuusei no Rockman 3 for some time now, but it’s easy to forget. And now, rumor is that a tentative packshot for […]

It has been a long and widely-held belief that the weapon of Mega Man 3‘s Top Man, the Top Spin, is the worst Special Weapon in the game, and perhaps one of the worst in the entire series. Beyond putting Shadow Man‘s lights out and tearing peace-keeping robot Gamma to pieces, few have found it […]

Well, it’s been a week or two, so you know that means there is another top x list of Mega Man this or that out there. And this time, the joy and suspense comes from none other than GameDaily, whose lists are typically infamous for being… disagreeable. They’ve decided this time to look at who […]

With this trend of finding retro video game shows to reminisce about, here’s something that is sure to please our Canadian visitors (all 20,000 of you). Video & Arcade Top 10 was a long running YTV (Youth Television) show where kids were invited to play games and compete for a shot at a prize.  Much […]
