A new special edition Mega Man product is hitting Japan. The e-Capcom shop has opened up pre-orders for a Mega Man plush helmet and buster set, perfect for looking cool, staving off head colds or taking a Mega nap. The plush wear, which is an e-Capcom exclusive...
Get Equipped with Mega Meow Shirt!
Okay, technically it's Mega Neko, a new Mega Man-inspired t-shirt now available for $24.99 over at Pengew Apparel. Inspired by the Japanese Maneki-neko statue, which is said to bring its owners good luck, the description reads "This little kitten will bring you good...
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,...
Rockman Ultrabook Package Contest Opens
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...
Rockman Crossover Introduces “Legend Armor”
A short while back, a mysterious Rockman Xover screenshot was teased showcasing what appeared to be Mega Man joining in the amazing running-straight-ahead adventure. However Ucchy has revealed the truth of the image. This is not Mega Man but a special armor that...
Fan Comic Illustrates Protomen Song
Hope may ride alone, but at least we can all enjoy cool artwork as a collective. An artist named Billosopher recently drew a wicked-looking comic that narrates the events in the song "Hope Rides Alone" by The Protomen. It’s certainly a slick-looking number. Note:...
Solicitation for Sonic the Hedgehog #250/”Worlds Collide” Part 9
The ninth chapter of "Worlds Collide" may mark the 250th issue of Archie's long-running Sonic the Hedgehog comic book series, but it sounds like it will be Mega Man's cast who steal the show! Here's the newest solicitation from Midtown Comics: (W) Ian Flynn (A) Ben...
Sample the Music and Gameplay of “Rockman Ciel”
Rockman Ciel is a fan project I've kept my eye on off and on, but I don't think there's been any reporting of it on TMMN thus far. To the best of my knowledge, it serves as a continuation of sorts of the Zero series, now with Ciel picking up the saber and fighting...
A Critical Look at Mega Man 4 Stages: Dr. Cossack Stage 2
Cossack Stage 2 After warping in, we find ourselves presented with a choice of two ladders. It's unfortunate that nothing else of note was done with this room, but the following room is neat. The Minoans will both drop immediately if we take the left path, but Mega...
Looking Back: Mega Man for Game Gear
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 Mega Man series. This time, I’m looking at Mega Man for Game Gear, the rare, odd game published by US Gold, developed by Freestyle,...
