Jan 8, 2009 | Articles
We have a new Rockman boss contest coming up soon, and I feel like wagering on what I think it'll be. Granted, I'm not crazy about making predicitions, partly because I don't like being wrong. On top of that, information of the boss contest will surface any day now -...
Learning About Gaming at an Early Age
Jan 8, 2009 | Community Developments

Dec 19, 2008 | Mega Man
This image from the Capcom-Unity blog's whiteboard would certainly indicate Capcom USA is planning to sell the Rockman 9 Original Soundtrack on their online store. Since it's the Rockman 9 soundtrack (as opposed to the Mega Man 9 soundtrack), it seems the albums will...
They grow up so fast
Dec 17, 2008 | Community Developments, Mega Man
Indeed they do. Ok, I'm jumping the proverbial December 17th gun a little bit, but technically it's already the 17th in the East. That's right, our beloved Mega Man / Rockman has turned 21. Mega Man's 20th year came with some big surprises, with Mega Man 9's true...
The rumors, the rumors
Dec 16, 2008 | Community Developments
There's been a lot of discussion about a new Rockman title in the works lately. Unfortunately, it's a lot of discussion based on smoke. I haven't seen much of anything that proves the accuracy of what's been going around, including small snippets taken from Japanese...
Rating the Robot Masters
Dec 16, 2008 | Community Developments
I think we can all agree that the Robot Masters in a Mega Man game play a big role in how well that game is regarded. Gaming analyst Sean Malstrom has a pretty lengthy article which seeks to rank each Robot Master from the first eight Mega Man titles and see if the...

Mega Man vs. Secret Agent Man

What Happens if Wily Attacks with All 8 Robot Masters at Once
Dec 11, 2008 | Community Developments
For as long as Mega Man has been around, there have been certain questions, certain bright ideas about how things are done. Things like "why not put those instant-kill spikes everywhere?" or "why not make a Robot Master completely out of Mettaur metal?" And while some...
