As we announced previously, the classic art book R20: Rockman & Rockman X Official Complete Works is getting a 25th anniversary revamp, with even more content. So what can we expect? Well while we don’t know all the details, a posting on e-Capcom shows that the book is now packing 432 pages; nearly 100 pages […]

As part of our celebration of the Mega Man series hitting its 25th anniversary, we are featuring a look back at many of the games of the Classic series. For this entry, I’ll be looking at Mega Man 4, a game that receives much criticism for both trying new things and for making the Mega […]

Here’s another song you can enjoy from the upcoming arranged album ROCKMAN HOLIC. This time it’s an arrangement of Team.Nekocan’s original track that rocketed to amazingly popularity (and can even be played at karaoke): Can’t Beat Air Man. This arrangement features Hanatan behind the vocals, and a bit more of a smooth electronic rock arrangement. […]

“Playing God is indeed playing with fire. But that is what we mortals have done since Prometheus, the patron saint of dangerous discoveries. We play with fire and take the consequences, because the alternative is cowardice in the face of the unknown.” -Ronald Dworkin, Sovereign Virtue “Children are the keys of Paradise… they alone are […]

Here’s a scene from the Rockman 20th anniversary event Capcom held in Tokyo five years ago. I think it’s safe to say right now that Capcom of Japan is probably not planning such an event for the 25th anniversary (although fans are, at least). The event was a veritable Mega Man museum, containing playable classics, […]

As part of our celebration of the Mega Man series hitting its 25th anniversary, we are featuring a look back at many of the games of the Classic series. For this entry, I’ll be looking Mega Man 3, a game that gets nearly as much love as its predecessor. Mega Man 3 builds upon the […]

Following his third major defeat to Mega Man, Dr. Wily has been pretty quiet in the shadows. But in the 23rd issue of Archie’s Mega Man, it appears Wily will be pushing forward with the first move of his next major scheme, and with perhaps his most powerful piece yet: Break Man. As the summary […]

Each of the revisited stages contains two fights with Doc Robot K-176, who takes on the attack pattern of one of the Robot Masters from Mega Man 2. These aren’t quite the same, as Doc’s sprite is bigger than even Wood Man, and he’s often slightly more difficult in other ways. However, we’ve got a […]

Here’s another sample from the upcoming album ROCKMAN HOLIC for you to enjoy – in fact, it appears to be a complete track! And unlike the previous sample, perhaps you can even sing along to this one. This is “Together As One,” an arrangement of the Wily stage theme from Mega Man 2 (a track […]

TSSZ News is reporting that Nintendo has confirmed at a recent press event in Spain that the game no one (relatively speaking) thought had any chance of leaving Japan is doing just that. As seen in the picture at right (click to enlarge), Project X Zone— the crossover title featuring characters from SEGA, Namco Bandai, […]

As part of our celebration of the Mega Man series hitting its 25th anniversary, we are featuring a look back at many of the games of the Classic series. For this entry, I’ll be looking Mega Man 2, arguably the game that in many ways, set the course for the Classic series and beyond. To […]

Rockman Unity has updated with a post featuring the Canadian wrestling superstar of the Japanese DDT federation, Kenny Omega. It’s in Japanese, of course, and from what we can tell (until Heat Man can look over it), it seems that Omega came to the ring tonight with “Dr.WILY STAGE 1 – OMEGAMAN MIX -” from […]
