When Rockman Xover was announced about a couple weeks back, reactions to the news were… not terribly positive, to put it lightly. Not only fans, but even writers at gaming news sites like Destructoid and Kotaku put the game to shame. While little may be known about Xover so far, it’s clear it’s going to […]

If there is any part of Mega Man which is sure to outlive the franchise itself, it would be the notoriety of the original series’ earliest box art. But how did such design decisions ever come to pass? Why is Mega Man sporting a Tron-esque outfit and handgun on the original? Why is he breaking […]

It has long been a subject of debate whether Capcom had ever really planned a release of Mega Man X3 for the Panasonic 3DO, a version not unlike that seen on the PC, SEGA Saturn, and Sony PlayStation, or whether people had just imagined it. But then late last year, evidence surfaced that yes, a […]

by Erico “One of the biggest roles of science fiction is to prepare people to accept the future without pain and to encourage a flexibility of mind.” —Arthur C. Clarke —————————————- Mega Man has plowed through six robots that were his friends. He has achieved greatness and accepted their powers as his own. He’s relaxed […]

Today marks the birthday of Mr. Hitoshi Ariga, and we just wanted to wish him the happiest one he could possibly have (and maybe a job working for Capcom heading up the Mega Man brand). For those who have been living under one of Guts Man’s rocks, or are simply fresh off the assembly line, […]
