Mega Man Dies at the End : THE END of Season One
After a little feedback when the series began, we decided we wouldn't update with each week's episode of Machinima's "Mega Man Dies at the End" until... well, the end. The end of the season, at least, and that time is now. Without further ado, the season finale is now...
Rockman 4 Golden Catridge Prices Skyrocketing
Of course, there is only one legitimate Rockman 4 cartridge on sale, which has been moved to Super Potato's most recently opened Osaka store. The fabled cart, one of only eight in the world and awarded to the Rockman 4 boss contest winners, used to run for ¥590,000....
A Critical Look at Mega Man 2 Stages: Quick Man
Quick Man's Stage and music. I've been sitting here wondering what to say about the first screen, and it occurred to me that the life there wasn't only a reward for having one of the items and a warning about the level's difficulty, but it's one of the few spots in...
Jack-In to This Lost Rockman.EXE 3 Black Commercial, If That’s What It Takes
The old Mega Man Battle Network Express doesn't come by here much any more, but when it does, it's usually a pleasure. Such is the case with this lost Japanese commercial for Rockman.EXE3: Black (released here as Mega Man Battle Network 3: Blue Version) starring none...
Mega Man 8 Gets a Little Riffed
Video contains minor amounts of NSFW language Perhaps you're familiar with the RiffTrax guys, or (if you're old enough), the show Mystery Science Theater 3000. For over 20 years Michael Nelson and co. have made an artform from making fun of bad movies, and what's more...
The Blue Bomber Goes 3D (Again) in “Mega Man 3D 2: The Siege of Megacity”
In lieu of anything from Capcom, the Mega Man fan games really seem to be coming out in force... or maybe we just have more time to focus on them these days. Whatever the case, Wilyman has passed along a tip about the following, an already completed project known as...
T-Shirt Contest Winners, and Who You Want to Represent Mega Man’s 25th
The time has finally come! After far too long a wait (my sincerest apologies-- travel + illness + work does not a fun combination make. It's not a good excuse, but it's all I have), we are now ready to reveal the winners of our collaborative contest with Capcom Unity...
Have a Merry Brettmas, Everyone!
We're a little late on this, but better late than never! Time for another random celebration of a Capcom employee playing a Mega Man game! Put on your festive overalls, bake a holiday meatloaf and fill top hats with coal. It's Brettmas! Lo, in the ancient times (a...
Powerglove Goes to Japan with Mega– er, Rockman
With but one small exception, we haven't said much about the speed metal group Powerglove. It hasn't been by design or anything, merely circumstance. However, today brings a little bit of news to help us change that. Via Heat Man, Cap Kobun has come across a little...
Bandai D-Arts Zero Type 2 Contest
Yeah Zero is cool, blah blah blah. I wasted all my ridiculous prose writing for the opening post, and you're not here for that crap anyway. You've got no time for it; you're just that cool, aren't you? So let's cut to the chase. We got two Zero figures. You wanna win...
Mega Man X2 Releasing on European Wii VC This Week
Well how's that for a touch of irony? Europe didn't get Mega Man X for quite a while until after North America got it, but now you guys appear to be getting Mega Man X2 before us! The game will be available on the Wii's Virtual Console service the 31st, this Thursday...
Mega Man Cartoon Opening Remade in 8-Bit Style
Say what you will about the Ruby-Spears Mega Man cartoon, but at least it had a cool opening. Which is why it made perfect sense for YouTube user ColoniaContraAtaca to remake it in the style of the games which inspired it: You can compare it with the original here, or...
A Critical Look at Mega Man 2 Stages: Bubble Man
Bubble Man's Stage and music Our first threat here is Kerog, who immediately spits three baby robot frogs at us. These move only by jumping in high arcs, and Kerog itself does nothing except spit more out if you kill them all. The great thing about this setup is that...
Custom Kotobukiya Rockman “Quint” Figure
Click to enlarge. Here is a neat little find from CAP Kobun: a customized Kotobukiya Rockman figure, designed by Ken Nagano to look like the Blue Bomber's futuristic alter-ego, Quint! As for the Sakugarne? That's made from scratch. You can find the individual pictures...
1UP’s “What If?” Week Looks at Hypothetical Mega Man Scenarios
Over the past week, 1UP has run a series of themed articles under the common theme of "What If?: Gaming's Alternate Realities." In these hypothetical situations, we get an idea of how the video game industry might have been different had it not been for certain...
Another Fan Shows His Work on a Fan-Made Legends Game
After our recent look at some Mega Man games being developed by fans, another stepped forward to reveal to us a similar project they are working on. Based on the Mega Man Legends series, this project has the working title "Operation Mother Lode." Jad, who passed word...
Is “Blue Bomber” a Blight on Mega Man?
For nearly as long as Mega Man has been around, fans and the media have also known the robot hero as the "Blue Bomber." We've discussed the origin of this term in the past, but now the question has been put forth: is it really appropriate for Dr. Light's prized...
Rockman Tracks from Zoku Fami Compi
The curious licensed Famicom album Zoku Fami Compi is out today in Japan. As we reported before, it's the second CD in a series of arrangements from various Famicom (NES) games. Given the interests of viewers to this site, I thought it relevant to let you hear the...
D-Arts Zero Type 2 out this Week, and Someone’s Gonna WIN ONE!
Zero is pretty much the coolest character ever. You actually can't disagree with that. You can TRY to, but it just won't come out; it's physically impossible. If you can hear yourself think otherwise, or see it written by someone else, it's just a distortion of...
