Month: March 2011

As we noted yesterday, the Mega Man Battle Network series has reached the big one-oh. That’s right, ten years of PETs, NetNavis, Battle Chips, Cross Fusion, Beast Outs, and more fun than should be allowed on the internet for kids under the age of 12. Today, we are following a little inspiration from Protodude’s celebration […]

When I think of Mega Man Battle Network, it still seems like a pretty new series to me. But the original title released in Japan on March 21st, 2001. And as the day has just turned over to the 21st in Japan, that makes Battle Network a whopping 10 years old. This makes me feel […]

Starting around noon Eastern Standard Time, the site People’s Republic of Rockman DASH will be putting on a live stream of playing through the Mega Man Legend series, as well as some purported surprises. Dubbed “Endless Water,” the goal of the play-through is to raise awareness of the lack of clean drinking water in parts […]

Okay, to get one thing out of the way: I personally like Cut Man, and he’s one of my favorite Robot Masters, if only for the fact that he was the first one I ever beat in a Mega Man game. His depiction in Mega Man Powered Up and the Mega Man Megamix manga have […]

What does it take to make a Mega Man animation? If you are YouTube user “fafonio,” then it takes 238 paper cut-outs and 1,245 photographs taken on one Samsung TL205 camera. And here are the results. But a slight spoiler warning: things don’t quite work out for the Blue Bomber in the end. If you’d […]

Last week, Capcom Unity began holding a Mega Man Legends Game Club on Ustream, as Greg from the Mega Man Legends 3 Devroom and Snow went through the first hour of the game. And though the Devroom may currently be on hiatus following the recent events in Japan, Greg has announced that they will proceed […]

Comic Book Resources has a pretty lengthy interview with mangaka Hitoshi Ariga right now, talking all about Mega Man Megamix and Gigamix. Ariga goes into detail about how he gives each character their unique personality based on their behavior in the games, and other aspects about the comic series. For example: Fire Man and Heat […]

We’ve looked at papercraft versions of the Blue Bomber here on The Mega Man Network before, including a nifty Powered Up-styled model, some dioramas, and even a simple Servbot. But as Tabby has brought to our attention, it would seem that the announcement of Mega Man Legends 3 has lit a proverbial fire under the […]

Earlier the other day, Hitoshi Ariga updated his blog with the sentiment that in times of great crisis, such as Japan faced last week, everybody is capable of being a hero. Ariga himself was moved with a letter, which he later posted, from a child who gave him thanks, as reading his Rockman Gigamix comic […]

A new Rockman Online update has gone live on the game’s official blog, and appears to be a message coming to us from the navigator Layer, who is now sporting the same style previously seen on Alia. As for the actual text, it’s in Korean. And unfortunately, there is no one currently around to work […]

Details are few at the moment, but it appears that a group of filmmakers under the banner of “Gelfbury” are working to create a new Mega Man fan film, and one which provides “a fresh new look at the year 200X, where robot brothers fight at the whim of mad scientists bent on world domination.” […]

You may have seen a video floating around which shows the original Super Mario Bros., but with a new set of modern, “more realistic” sound effects. And as it turns out, that isn’t the only game to get the new sound treatment. Following is a video compilation of many games, each with its own new […]
