A Critical Look at Mega Man 3 Stages: Break Man & Dr. Wily Stage 1
After the Doc Robot stages, we enter a stage titled "Break Man," where we fight a ~mysterious~ robot who fights exactly like Proto Man, with the exception that he is immune to all special weapons. This one's similar to the fight in Hard Man's stage, except we have...

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...

Kenny Omega is a Rockman

"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...
