Month: September 2009

You have to admit, as cheesy as they were, old videogame shows from the 80s and 90s were way cool. It’s a shame that today gaming is much too “sophisticated” for stuff like that (unless you live in Japan, where you have the awesome Game Center CX). One such show from the 90s that I […]

As we previously reported, Rockman EXE Operate Shooting Star would contain what appears to be MegaMan Battle Network’s classic battle system. A couple of images from the latest issue of CoroCoro reveals that both MegaMans will be playable in this format. The first image shows a battle setup between both MegaMans. Star Force MegaMan will […]

“Energize Your Excitement.” “Mega Man 3. Anything else you need to know?” “Help Mega Man turn Proto Man into spare parts.” These were just some of the slogans which Capcom used in the magazine ads for their games way back in the day, for title such as Mega Man, Mega Man 3, and Mega Man […]

With the announcement that new characters are slated to be added to the US release of Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, fans have been hopeful to find out who those characters are. Now we may know, but unfortunately I must file this one under speculation. According to COCOROG, a page on Capcom of Japan’s new website for […]

As many of you are no doubt already aware, today marks the tenth anniversary of the North American launch of the Dreamcast, SEGA’s final (and some might even say greatest) console. Without any proper Mega Man titles on the platform among Capcom’s considerable list of games (for the system’s short lifespan), one might think there […]

The Complete Works version of Rockman 2 has just hit the Japanese PSN for the cool low price of ¥600.  As the second release from the collection, expect the same added features from the PSOne release.  The game is reportedly 235 MB in size and as with all PSOne releases, it’s compatible with both PS3 […]

Now is the time to make our voices heard, Mega Fans! GameSpot is holding a GameFAQs-ish contest (which is apt, given the former owns the latter) to determine who the “All Time Greatest Video Game Hero” is. Round 1 is going on as of this writing, and the Blue Bomber appears to be having an […]

Now here’s an interesting blast from the past: Video Arcade, the television show hosted by one “Johnny Arcade.” It began as a video game tips and previews/reviews show which would bookend a Captain N-esque cartoon starring various characters from Acclaim-published NES games, The Power Team. But in following seasons, the format changed, and the show […]

Sorry I didn’t update about this sooner, folks; the 500 Internal Server Errors have been most prohibitive in getting anything done. Nonetheless, the second Mega Man Marathon we mentioned previously is going on as we speak (they appear to be on Mega Man X at Launch Octopus as I type this). Check it out below, […]

It seems that performing video game music in a cappella is growing in popularity online, and of course, the catchy tunes of Mega Man are no exception. During work yesterday, a friend passed along an interesting little sound file of someone performing the Dr. Wily Stage 1 (and 2, technically) stage music in this vocal […]

If you’re looking to import Rockman EXE: Operate Shooting Star then Play-Asia has you covered. You can now preorder the game, which costs $44.90 (plus shipping). What’s also interesting is the loosely translated description Play-Asia gives for the game. Rockman Exe is ported to the Nintendo DS with new upgrades. The battles system is easier […]

If you happen to be going to the Tokyo Game Show coming up September 24th (and I envy you if you are), be sure to drop by the Kids Corner and give the trial version of Rockman EXE: Operate Shooting Star a test drive, ’cause it’s gonna be there. The game will be playable specifically […]
