This winter, Japanese clothing brand Punk Drunkers wants to make you a “Punk Rockman,” and are doing so by releasing this Rockman Parka. Essentially a hoodie, it comes in both classic Blue Bomber blue, as well as a black variety, and will release this October for a pricy ¥14,000 (roughly $179 US). It’s a pretty […]

1UP has posted an article about Mega Man father-figure Keiji Inafune as a part of their “Daring Games and Designers” cover story for this week, one which looks back at some of Inafune’s comments about the state of the Japanese video game industry and Capcom from his time working at said company. If nothing else, […]

by Erico “The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” –The Tao Te Ching by Laozi And so it was that Mega Man set out to defeat six reprogrammed Robot Masters, save the world, and put an end to the schemes of the nefarious mustachioed villain Dr. Wily… But the question was, […]

We’ve been getting a lot of interesting genre albums of classic Famicom music lately. First that was Zoku Fami Compi with its house style arrangements. Then sound got loud with the Japan release of Powerglove’s Video Game Metal. But recently things have mellowed again, with the release of Tariki Echo’s Fami Reggae. As you would […]

  TEAM Entertainment has added some new info about the upcoming Rockman 25th anniversary rock and techno albums, as well as covers, but you’re probably not going to like all of it. Of  most pressing concern, the two albums have been delayed from their previous release date of August 29th to October 10th. So we’ll have […]

Because Redmage1987 thinks maybe you haven’t. A lot of people know about the old style Batton M-501 in the original Mega Man X that drops loads of 1-Ups. But did you know the Rideroid G in Wheel Gator’s stage does too? You just have to be able to catch it outside of its ride armor. […]

With Rockman 2 coming to the Virtual Console for 3DS in Japan, there’s no reason to suspect we won’t get Mega Man 2 as well. But just in case, here’s a potential alternative. Using the DSiWare application Petit Computer, DiscostewSM has begun crafting a replication of Mega Man 2 from scratch. It’s still an early […]

Wow, it feels like only two months ago when Machinma series “Mega Man Dies at the End” wrapped up its first season… …wait, it was only two months ago! Nearly to the day, at that! Anyway, the last season ended (spoilers) with Mega Man apparently dying before being found by rats and eventually having his […]

When you have over ten games to your name, and eight unique Robot Masters per game… well, let’s face it: Not every one of them is going to be a winner. So to that end, GamesRadar has selected the seven Robot Masters they find most ridiculous. Be it due to a silly look or goofy […]

As we announced early last week, the last weekend in July was Otakon, and with it, “OtaRockman.” Unfortunately, there wasn’t nearly as much going on as in past years, with the cosplay gathering on Saturday being pretty much the one and only thing. And even then, the turnout […]

Webcomic “Fanboys Online” recently posted a short series of three “Mega Man Action Comix,” which creator Scott DeWitt says is a small preview of a mini comic he’s been working on. Whether the mini-comic is entirely Mega Man-oriented or not, he did not say, though he does note he will be selling them at Nerdapalooza […]
