The Harlem Shake, Mega Man-Style?

A Critical Look at Mega Man 4 Stages: Dr. Cossack Stage 3

Cossack Stage 3 and Music This stage… is an autoscroller. I’m going to be honest here; no matter what I say about the design, I’m always going to hate this stage because I can’t stand this mechanic in platformers. It does raise tension for newcomers by adding a time limit, but for experienced players or […]

…But At Least We’re Getting R20+5

Okay, so that last item sort of blew up in our faces a bit. Feel free to picture a writer covered in black soot with his eyes poking through, blinking in a stunned fashion. This one, however, we’re a bit more confident about. At their own PAX East panel, UDON Entertainment has officially announced that […]

New Mega Man Game & Statue Announced at PAX East

Update: Slag everything but the statue for the next two paragraphs– Joystiq clarifies that apparently “Capcom has clarified Elston’s comments, saying that a new Mega Man game has not been confirmed. The company is having “ongoing discussions about Mega Man,” but it “won’t announce anything until something is ready.” Well, it was nice for the […]

Is This the Way to Build the Perfect Mega Man X?

The Mega Man X series is an interesting specimen, as some would argue that Capcom created a perfect game on the very first try, and the series has been all downhill from there. Conversely, many others have their own favorites from latter entries– even Mega Man X7, which if nothing else is the odd Mega […]

100K Strong: MML3 Concept Album Update & LiveStream News

Two quick updates for you from 100,000 Strong for Bringing Back Mega Man Legends 3. First, regarding the Mega Man Legends 3 Concept Album: As you might have noticed, that hit a bit of a snag, as BandCamp apparently has a “200 free download” limit before they begin charging for it, which was quickly reached. […]

Check Out Rockman Xover’s Boss Character Entries

Rockman Xover‘s first ever original boss character contest is about an hour away from drawing to a close. As of now the venture has secured about 740 entries.

Blast from the Past: Get Equipped with… Mega Man’s Bow and Arrow Set?

Now here’s a bit of an oddity. When TMMN reader “shinichi” mailed us with the tip, it teased us with Ruby-Spears Mega Man merchandise that we “never knew existed,” but this one is actually quite familiar to us. Back in the heyday of the early 90s, you weren’t likely to find a lot of Mega […]

Rockman Crossover Introduces “Legend Armor”

A short while back, a mysterious Rockman Xover screenshot was teased showcasing what appeared to be Mega Man joining in the amazing running-straight-ahead adventure. However Ucchy has revealed the truth of the image. This is not Mega Man but a special armor that OVER-1 can equip. Dubbed the Legend Armor, this will grant access to […]

Fan Comic Illustrates Protomen Song

Hope may ride alone, but at least we can all enjoy cool artwork as a collective. An artist named Billosopher recently drew a wicked-looking comic that narrates the events in the song “Hope Rides Alone” by The Protomen. It’s certainly a slick-looking number. Note: Billosopher’s choice of comic reader starts the action on the last […]
