The Blue Ink: Archie’s Mega Man #16 – Breakaway

“There is no greater sign of a general decay of virtue in a nation, than a want of zeal in its inhabitants for the good of their country.” -Joseph Addison “In truth there is no such thing in man’s nature as a settled and full resolve either for good or evil, except at the very […]

Alright, Alright, You Guys Win…

Okay, so when we brought you word last week of what Mega Man goodness was in the newest issue of Nintendo Power, we did leave a part out– mostly because it didn’t really say anything we haven’t been hearing from Capcom, and figured it would only lead to more cynicism (and at the places that […]

An Update on the November Giveaway

As you may recall, we are running a giveaway for a copy of the Rockman EXE Transmission soundtrack. The deadline was supposed to be the end of the previous week. However, because we ran into some site maintenance around that time, I am extending the deadline to the end of this Friday, at midnight, PST. […]

A Critical Look at Mega Man 3 Stages: The Robot Masters

Editor’s Note: We have something different going on with the pics now; just click to enlarge. One oddity about Mega Man 3‘s boss fights is that each one takes four damage from its own weapon. They also have minor (two damage) weaknesses to weapons other than their main weakness, but I’m going to avoid talking […]

To No One’s Surprise, Mega Man Makes “Worst Cover Art” List, But…

When Trigger EXE submitted a news tip a couple of months ago about Mega Man being on GamingBolt.com’s Top 50 list of the worst video game box covers of all time, we almost didn’t run it. After all, it seems almost mandatory by this point for Mega Man to be included a the top of […]

The Blue Ink – Archie’s Mega Man #15: Resolution in Revolution

“Courage charms us, because it indicates that a man loves an idea better than all things in the world, that he is thinking neither of his bed, nor his dinner, nor his money, but will venture all to put in act the invisible thought of his mind.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson “Courage! What makes a king […]

Intuition! Rockman Footage – The Silliest Mega Man Game Ever

Another little known Rockman cell phone game finally gets some exposure. Intuition! Rockman was released in Japan in January of 2008. A very unusual game, you could perhaps liken it to Mega Man‘s take on WarioWare. The game is a collection of simple and humorous minigames. Aside from being a Japan only game, it only […]

Preview of Archie’s Mega Man #19 on Destructoid

Well, that was certainly quick. No sooner than we bring you that glimpse of issue #19 of Archie’s Mega Man comic than Destructoid rolls around (no pun intended) with a full-blown preview. Five pages await, as we see Roll, Kalinka, and Tempo spending a little bit of downtime at the beach after the robot convention […]
