Remember that Time Centaur Man Turned Out to Be a Woman?

Multiverse Announces New Mega Man Bobble Budds
Does anyone remember the commercial for Weebles? "Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down"? We wanted to do something like that for the headline, but without the actual assurance that Bobble Budds don't fall down with they bobble, it just seemed like a bad idea. The...

One week ago, we brought you the covers to the 18th issue of Archie's Mega Man comic book series, thanks to Capcom Unity. However, they did not post a solicitation, leaving us to wonder about the issue's specifics as a result. But now, thanks to Merricks, we have the...

Game Boy Mega Man Tunes Get the Arranged Treatment
