Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X Staff Review (Heat Man)
Overview: Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X is a dream come true for the hardened X fan; well, possibly. There are some who feel its placement on the Sony PSP as opposed to the Nintendo DS is a stab to the series' roots. I'll bring that up later, though. If you are a big...
Legendary Rockman (and Mega Man) Commercials
Since Heat Man decided to take us on a trip back in time with the commercials for the original Rockman games in Japan, I did want to say (as I often do whenever the opportunity affords itself) that there is a single Mega Man advertisement which I think did a very...
Classic Rockman commercials
I don't mean to sound like a Japanophile or anything, but the commercials Capcom of Japan produces for the Rockman games are so much cooler than the ones we occasionally get in the west. I was always a big Mega Man fan, but if I'd seen these commercials as a kid...

MegaMan Legends 2 Fan Review (theory C)
by theory C In 1998, MegaMan Legends changed everything you thought you knew about the iconic Blue Bomber. No longer were you limited to two dimensions, no longer did you get to choose your levels in the order you liked, no longer were jumping and shooting the only...
MegaMan Legends Fan Review (theory C)
by theory C MegaMan Legends is not your typical MegaMan fare. At long last, Capcom has given the blue robot a new direction, entering him into the realm of 3D. And unlike past MegaMan titles, this isn't a shoot 'em up; this is as pure an action/adventure/RPG as you're...

Fan support for Mega Man X9

A Classic Rockman Take On Iris’ Death
Dramatic death scenes aren't limited to just Zero and Iris in X4. Check out this Rockman 9 parody of the scene, with Blues mourning the loss of Splash Woman. I have to say, I'm impressed by the quality of the art here. The video maker got the classic Rockman style...

Updates on that boss contest
By now my predictions for the boss character contest have been pretty off, but as more details come in it's looking more like this is a boss character contest like none other before. According to our viewer Fireman, the deadline for the contest is indeed February...
Zero & Iris: Special Edition
Remember when George Lucas decided to gussy up all those old Star Wars movies with modern day polish, special effects, and new footage, effectively ruining them in the eyes of many fans? Well, this isn't quite as bad as all that, namely because the anime cutscenes in...

The Lucky Star Effect
Anyone who knows of Lucky Star also knows of the tons of remixes that have ended up on Nico Nico Douga and subsequently Youtube. While some are basically remixes that overlap songs, a few stand out and are copied ad nauseam with other characters. Here's my latest...

Rockman X3 Capture Book (Kouriyakahen)
I was browsing the homie Rodrigo Shin's blog after I got home from school and peeped an interesting post with some X3 pictures. Turns out they're pictures from something called the "Rockman X3 Capture Book." I can't quite make out what the deal is on it, but I assume...
