Odds Not Good for OSS in West, According to Capcom

Those of you in North America and Europe waiting for Rockman EXE Operate Shooting Star to be localized may have to throw in the towel and just import. It doesn’t sound like Capcom thinks the game will be viable in the market, or perhaps there are other reasons. Needless to to say, Christian Svensson of […]

Everyone likes toys, right? No?

Mega Man 10: A Blast from the Past, in More Ways Than One?

We all know that a large part of Mega Man 10‘s hook is that it’s a retro-styled title, a blast from the past, made in the style of the 8-bit NES titles which brought the Blue Bomber to prominence. But it appears that the game gets a little more oldschool than we thought… or perhaps […]

Dueling Analogs Presents: Mega Man 10 – Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy

A few days ago, in the post “IGN Goes Hands-On with Mega Man 10, and Capcom Finally Addresses Multiplayer,” I said: I think it’s safe to assume there are people who do indeed love the spirit of Mega Man, but have been put off by some of its more precise demands; hopefully Easy Mode will […]

How Tough are NES Games?

This doesn’t relate to Mega Man directly, per se, but given that the Blue Bomber has had six releases in the Classic series released on the original 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System, that seemed like a good enough reason to look at the latest video by Rinry of the blog Rinry Game Game as she puts […]

Okay, folks, we’re down to our final week of The Mega Man Network’s “What am I Fighting For?!” Contest. We last extended the contest deadline to January 15th, so that people would have the Christmas/New Year holidays to work on their entry, plus a little more time.
