The Blue Ink: Archie’s Mega Man #17 – Origins
"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,...
Famous Last Words
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...
Looking Back: Mega Man 3
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...
Break Man Breaks Out in Mega Man #23
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:...
A Critical Look at Mega Man 3 Stages: Doc Robot K-176
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...
New ROCKMAN HOLIC Sample, Plus Xover Bonus Item
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...
Rumor: Project X Zone is Westward Bound
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...
Looking Back: Mega Man 2
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...
Kenny Omega is a Rockman
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...
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...
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...

An Update on the November Giveaway

Looking Back: Mega Man

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...

Over on video game humor site Dueling Analogs is a list of "Games I am sad were never made," and two of those games feature the Blue Bomber. One is Mega Man Legends 3, and there isn't much to be said about that which hasn't been said already. The other is "Mega Man...
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 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...

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...
