Crystal Man’s Stage and Music TMMN Staff

Crystal Man’s Stage and Music Pukapucker is our first new enemy of the stage. Shooting the feet causes the head to bounce away in the direction it was facing, but taking out the head destroys both. The head is constantly moving and is thus more difficult to hit,...

Mega Man and X Together at Last

Well, in this commemorative statue at least. Originally mentioned back at PAX, this 10 inch resin statue is coated in silver coloring and features both Mega Man and X. The reason being, while last year was the start of Mega Man’s 25th anniversary, this year will have Mega Man X turning 20 himself. Much like […]

A Critical Look at Mega Man 5 Stages: Stone Man

Title Music & Stage Select Music Mega Man 5 gives us a somewhat lackluster intro compared to the last one, this time using Proto Man as Wily’s new scapegoat. The Robot Master selection is as ridiculous as always, and Mega Man gets a spot on the screen again. Unfortunately his eyes don’t follow the cursor […]
