Month: December 2009

Since yesterday’s reveal of Mega Man 10, some interesting new information has come to light… maybe. As it so happens, November 21st saw The Fanboy Review post a rumor about this very game. And as it so happens, many of the details given were spot-on. You can read how that breaks down here. But amidst […]

Capcom’s big birthday surprise for Mega Man‘s 22nd birthday may have just been spoiled. Nintendo Power has posted a preview of their next issue, volume 250, aka the 2009 Holiday Special, and within comes a big surprise for fans of the Blue Bomber: Just as Mega Man 9 was before it, Mega Man 10 will […]

The release of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars is drawing ever-nearer, and Director Hidetoshi Ishizawa has made a new blog post which introduces two new stages: the “Orbital Ring hangar,” presumably from Tekkaman Blade, and the “Willamette Mall” from Dead Rising. But in addition to these revelations, he also brings with him new gameplay videos […]

The time has finally arrived… for some of us, that is. Capcom has announced the release of the side-scrolling shooter Mega Man: Rush Marine for cell phones. It popped up a little early on AT&T’s store, but according to Capcom, it is now available on “standard cell phones throughout North America,” with releases on Windows […]

A few days ago, we reported that Capcom of Japan and Famitsu were planning a Web TV celebration involving none other than Keiji Inafune himself. However, we never imagined the true scope of Capcom’s plan… That is, until today, when the following was posted on the Capcom*Unity: That’s right– they’re going global with this one! […]

Rockman 4’s boss character contest is one of the most well known because of the eight golden Rockman 4 catridges that were awarded to the winners. We know that one has been sold off to a Japanese retro game store, where it has sat unpurchased for years at an astounding price. There was also the […]

Well, here’s something a little different which was dug up by JGonzo at the Capcom*Unity: an ice stage from “Nezumiman,” a “Mega Man tribute with rats, jellyfish, and refrigerators that run.” Interesting lot of villains… a kangaroo named “Usagi?” And do I even want to know what is “milky” about “Milky Nezumi?” At least “Dragon […]

There is little doubt that anyone reading this probably knows the origin of the Blue Bomber, Mega Man: in fiction, he was a lab assistant to Dr. Light who was converted into a super fighting robot when Dr. Wily decided to form a robot rebellion by reprogramming Light’s Robot Masters. In reality, his was a […]

Well, it looks like E-Capcom has finally let the cat out of the bag as far as the Rockman.EXE Official Complete Works cover art is concerned. While the contents of the book seem very promising, the cover feels a bit underwhelming; especially when compared to the covers of all the previous Official Complete Works books. […]

People like The Nostalgia Critic. People like Spark Man. Or, at least, that’s what we keep telling him so he doesn’t electrocute himself on his own tears. Anyway, what happens when the two come together? I have no idea. But at least we have this to give us some vague notion. I would have much […]

Wow, is it time for Rockman to turn 22 already? Seems like just yesterday we were celebrating his turning old enough to hit the hard E-Tanks. Nonetheless, his December 17th birthday is coming up fast, and it appears that both Famitsu and Capcom of Japan have some celebratory plans in store for Web TV, with […]

A few days ago, we brought you a look at a Doom mod based on the original Mega Man NES game, including a couple of screenshots. And today, we’ve got video of the game in action For whatever reason, the first is labeled as a “Cutsman Map,” though they likely meant “Gutsman.” Check it out: […]
