A Critical Look at Mega Man 4 Stages: Dr. Cossack Stage 4
Cossack Stage 4 The path to Cossack starts off with some refills, an E-Tank, and a nice view of the night sky. Pakatto and Jumbig are easily dealt with by now, and we've already met both in worse situations. Biree makes another appearance here. This time we'll have to...

Inafune Doodles Mega Man at Boss Battle Gallery
With Keiji Inafune recently dropping by San Francisco, it looks like he made his way to the Mega Man Boss Battle art gallery. Not only that, but he was caught doing a little Mega graffiti, too. It's nice to see how much respect Inafune still has for Mega Man even...

Use the Washroom with Mega Man
Okay, so maybe that's not as appealing as it sounds, though Bubble Man's stage was a good choice of backdrop. From what we can tell, this was made in an otherwise-unknown public restroom. Scroll down to see inside one of the toilet stalls. Source, via Haydn Dalton's...
Nintendo Power on 15 Years of Mega Man
Here's a neat image from Nintendo Power back in 2003, focusing on Mega Man's 15th anniversary. This is from a time when the Battle Network and Zero series were shiny and new (although Zero gets no mention here, curiously). I love how Mega Man 2 is propped as the best...
The Harlem Shake, Mega Man-Style?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRWryTQDK4o Are you tired of the Harlem Shake yet? If so, it turns out you're not the only one. Watch as Dr. Wily discovers it in the 16th of the fad's 15 minutes of fame; suffice to say, everyone else around is over it. Thanks for the...
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...
Have a Listen to an Upcoming Mega Man Fan Album
Here is a cross fade sample of an up and coming Mega Man fan arranged album, MegaMusicMix. The album is being put together by Colis Records, creators of past doujin albums like RockLove and Rockbuster. However, this album is recruiting various fan artists to put...
…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...
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...
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,...

The Rockman Ultrabook endeavor has moved from polls to a contest. There is now a contest open for designing the package for the fan-fueled laptop PC. The winner, not surprisingly, will get their own Rockman Ultrabook. The rules are as follows: -Can contain any 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...
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. Still a far cry from even the roughly 8,000 Rockman 2 garnered back in an age without internet, but... yeah....
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...
