Apr 29, 2008 | Mega Man
According to the Capcom-Unity blog, the Mega Man franchise has marked its place in the 2008 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records as having the most games in one series. 'Course, this could be taken as an accomplishment or perhaps as a discouragement,...
MMPU and Maverick Hunter X Back in Stock at Capcom Shop
Apr 26, 2008 | Mega Man
Get 'em while you can! If you're a late adopter of the PSP, perhaps of the newer, more slimlined model, you might not have gotten around to picking up such treasures as Mega Man Powered Up and Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X. Of course, if that's the case, we would ask...
Another Gigamix Sample
Apr 25, 2008 | Mega Man
Inti Creates has put up another sample for ZX Gigamix, the Battle Giga Mixture track. Sounds a little like Devo. There's another update planned for next week, but by that point the album should be released.

Just what is a sound sketch?
Apr 18, 2008 | Mega Man
According to Ippo Yamada, the sound sketches on ZX Gigamix are simply listening to sound. "For example," he explains, "when you listen carefully in a room that seems silent, you can hear all sorts of sounds like the hum of appliances, the tick of a clock and the...
Star Force 3 on the Horizon
Apr 16, 2008 | Mega Man
I haven't seen this myself so far, but word has it that a Ryuusei no Rockman boss character contest has begun in the latest issue of CoroCoro Comics, which would seem to indicate that a third title (and however many versions of it) is in the works. Somewhat sadly,...

Wave Command Cards Confirmed For Star Force 2? Ye Gods, the world is coming to an end.
Apr 7, 2008 | Mega Man
As some people have often mentioned, Capcom of America tends to...cut things out of North American releases of Mega Man titles. Voice acting, E Reader Cards, entire Network Maps, Boktai cameos (although this one couldn't be helped in the case of BN6...) and much, much...
Haha, but seriously
Apr 4, 2008 | Mega Man
A few days ago on a little something called April Fools, Inti Creates advertised an upcoming product known as the Rockman ZX Soundsketch: ZX Gigamix. Pricing it at three billion yen, they were clearly trying to take advantage of the weak US dollar. But today Gigamix...
Crisis Averted!
Apr 1, 2008 | Community Developments, Mega Man, Site Developments
As you may have noticed, The Mega Man Network is no longer active. Due to some large TMMN staff losses including Lord Black Draco, TheDivine, Sylvester, and RockNRoll, it was agreed to reconvert every ounce of data under the Atomic Fire name. Come back often, since...

A look inside R20
Mar 20, 2008 | Mega Man

Mega Man Star Force 2 Announced
Mar 13, 2008 | Mega Man
In a online press event, Capcom Digital Day, Capcom announced the coming of the Western adaption of Ryuusei no Rockman 2 - Mega Man Star Force 2: Zerker x Saurian and Zerker x Ninja. I guess terms like Berserk and Dinosaur didn't have enough street cred. The game's...

Another Rockman book?
Feb 16, 2008 | Mega Man
In a recent post we talked about Ariga's work and to some degree infatuation with the upcoming Rockman & Rockman X Official Complete Works. Near the bottom though was something that was missed, as I assumed Mr. Ariga was just continuing on his tangent. He states:...
