One year ago today, Mega Man Battle Network celebrated its tenth anniversary. I guess that makes it a “grown up” series, so to speak; many of players who became fans at the start are beginning to enter adulthood today! (To say nothing of those who practically were adults at the time… eh.) In some regards, […]

It’s been a little while since we last saw anything from Peter Sjostrand’s Mega Man 2.5D fan game (though Gamasutra did interview the composer, Magnus ‘Souleye’ Palsson, last year), but a new update has been posted to YouTube. Check it out: They note that this serves as a project update and shows off some development […]

Over on Capcom Unity, DJay has made a post informing us that the Capcom Store will be rolling out three brand-new exclusive Mega Man t-shirts in the coming weeks. And apparently, the above image of Dr. Wily is a sneak peek at what one of them will look like. What do you hope to see […]

With the fall of Fire Man ending the threat of the Robot Masters, all that is left is to find Dr. Wily in his four-level fortress. The Wily stages have two pieces of music for all four, so here’s a link to both, plus the boss music. Wily Stage 1 Now, Wily stages should have […]

Mega Man #15 “(W) Ian Flynn (A) Gary Martin & Various (CA) Ben Bates ‘Spiritus ex Machina,’ Part 3. Time is running out for Mega Man and his friends. A new twist catches both […]

When Mega Man’s creator, Keiji Inafune, spoke recently at the Game Developer’s Conference, he discussed the need for Japanese video game companies to reinvent the brands that brought them so much success in previous years.

Sitting down with Game Informer at this year’s Game Developer’s Conference, Capcom’s Senior Vice-President of Planning and Business Development  Christian Svensson discussed a whole host of issues, from Resident Evil to the iPad to the ongoing battle with typos. Most importantly for Mega Man fans, he was asked about the concept of utilizing fan input in games, […]

It’s here. After being held hostage by Sigma for several days, it’s finally here. Mega Man X: Maverick Rising is out now. Go get it. This album is massive. We’re talking five discs here with over four and a half hours of remixes by 49 artists spanning the entire Mega Man X series. That’s a […]

A new Rockman Online blog update details another of the game’s original characters, the navigator Irene. She has an interesting back story, which seems to strike a little at ZX material: Irene is a navigator assigned by the UCA Hunter Agency one year prior. We can’t confirm who she was created by, and the two […]

We accidentally wound up sitting on this story for a bit, and to Undamned, we apologize for that. Nonetheless, “b15sdm” had a Frank West joystick he was trying to sell at the Shouryken.com forums. When that didn’t take, he changed it to the “more universal” theme of Mega Man to increase its odds. And according […]

For those unfamiliar, GameCenter CX, aka Retro Game Master via its Kotaku stream, is a Japanese television television show in which the star, Shinya Arino, attempts to play through the challenging video games of yesteryear. Additionally, it was the inspiration for the Nintendo DS game Retro Game Challenge— a true gem, if you can find […]
