         Yep, Bandai’s D-Arts VAVA figure (Vile to us) is now shipping in Japan. This was a Tamashi Web exclusive here, and while those in North America should be able to buy it via the regular means, there was only a short window of time that people in Japan could order from Bandai directly. Perhaps […]

Alright, now that we’ve gone through the first eight levels, it’s time to take a look at the special weapons Mega Man has been collecting. Metal Blade TMMN Staff

While we in the west have done pretty well getting translated Mega Man manga these past few years, it still doesn’t scratch the surface of all that’s been made in Japan. One of the earliest and yet most prolific original Rockman series was by Shigeto Ikehara. Starting in 1992, he wrote episodic manga covering Rockman […]

The hits just keep on coming for the 17th and 18th issues of Archie’s Mega Man comic book, which will feature the origin of Proto Man: The cover and solicitation for #17, the making of its cover, #18’s cover, the solicitation for #18, and our recent exclusive interview with writer Ian Flynn about the story. […]

We announced to you the major “Rockcan” music set being brought out by e-Capcom, but that’s not all you can look forward to. Recent online store listings have shed light on a Rockman 25th Anniversary Rock Arrange Soundtrack, and a Rockman 25th Anniversary Techno Arrange Soundtrack. Both are brought to us by TEAM Entertainment, the […]

Tom, host of The TomBobBlender Show, has dropped us a line to inform everyone that starting this Saturday, June 23rd at 9pm EST, they will be hosting a Mega Man Megathon to help raise money for the American Red Cross. Games from both the original and Mega Man X series will be played “in a […]

Back before Keiji Inafune worked on games where giant spaceships wore his face, and magician’s pulled their spines out of their mouths, he was a high up guy at a certain company called Capcom. One of the games he was known for was this game Mega Man. Maybe you’ve heard of it. The above video […]

Nightram56 of the Video Game Memorabilia Museum is back, this time with a look at two candy boxes made available to coincide with the release of Rockman 10: He notes that the candy “has pixelated art imprinted on them,” while “the boxes were reminiscent of Famicom boxes, just bigger.” Do any of you own either […]

Does anyone remember the commercial for Weebles? “Weebles wobble, but they don’t fall down”? We wanted to do something like that for the headline, but without the actual assurance that Bobble Budds don’t fall down with they bobble, it just seemed like a bad idea. The conflicts a writer faces… But, we digress; following the […]

If there’s one thing Mega Man fans can’t get enough of, it’s music. Lucky for the fans, a can of music is coming to sate your thirsts! The “Rockcan” comes in a steel E-Tank tin, and includes a full color booklet. There will be 10 discs and they cover music from the Mega Man games […]

This past week, we had the chance to catch up with Archie Comics’ Mega Man (as well as Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic Universe, and The New Crusaders) scribe Ian Flynn to talk about the upcoming story arc which delves into the origin of everyone’s favorite whistling red robot, Proto Man! And we got some exclusive […]

One week ago, we brought you the covers to the 18th issue of Archie’s Mega Man comic book series, thanks to Capcom Unity.
