Today, we mainly talked about how we’d select and present submissions for the Bright Bats Mascot Character Event, which closes this Thursday evening. That’s […]

Solicitations for Mega Man #6 and TPB Volume 1

When we saw the solicitation for Archie’s Mega Man #5, we learned a little more of what we could expect from the comic outside the confines of the games’ stories. Today, we have not one, but two new covers to share with you. Well, sort of. The first is the cover for issue #6, which […]

Enjoy Live Communicated Rockman without Being There

Since last year, Inti Creates’ Ippo Yamada has been organizing live performances called Live Communitcated Rockman where he and other artists setup and perform Mega Man music from games developed by Inti Creates, especially Mega Man Zero. To catch the act, you’d either need to be in attendance or watch live over LCR’s Stickam account. […]

Mega Man Legends Mii

We may have gotten a setback with the Prototype Version, but art director Ishihara-san did find one novel way of getting Mega Man Legends onto the 3DS. “Sorry MegaMan! I had to sell all of your equipment. Again!” Yep, Mega Man Legends themed Miis. I’m a little surprised no one thought of this yet. But […]

Calendar Pegs 2012 as a Heroic Year

Last year Capcom of Japan put out a “Capcom Girls 2011” calendar which featured females from various series, including a page with Luna Platz and Sonia Strumm of Star Force fame (which is presently displayed this month, actually). For 2012 however, Capcom is steering away from eye candy somewhat and putting out the “Capcom Heroes […]

Mega Man 5 Lands on Virtual Console Today

Not sure about Europe, but in North America today you can power up your Nintendo Wii, jump on the Wii Shop and grab Mega Man 5 for 500 Wii Points. I’m going to be charitable today, and while Mega Man 5 isn’t one of my favorites (far from it), it’s still a pretty darn good […]

Some More Outstanding Mega Man Apparel

Feeling a little out-of-style, my fellow fans? Feast your eyes on these shirts. I love it when we get some Mega Man themed clothing that’s as stylish as these “paint explosion” T-shirts. If you really dig them you can head over to RedBubble for the Mega Man version or the Proto Man version (or both […]

Dimension Diver Preps New Rockman Garage Kit

I’ll be honest that I don’t know of many garage kit makers, but that won’t stop me from saying Dimension Diver is one of the best. And their latest project in the works is Rockman. Rockman was one of the first kits they tackled in the past, and you can see it here. The new […]

Looking at MML3’s Absence from E3

Having just gotten back from E3, and my trip to California in general, I had a lot of fun but can’t help feeling a little disappointment Mega Man Legends 3 wasn’t present. The game, at least its Prototype Version, has been in a playable form for some time now, and we’ve passed the original expected […]
