Game Boy Mega Man Tunes Get the Arranged Treatment
The Game Boy Mega Man games have some of my favorite music in the series, though in truth the tunes are often overlooked by fans and musicians. So thank goodness that Blues 'Chaos' Light has cooked up his own arranged EP, featuring a track from each game. You can...
Ciel and the Birdbot: Newlyweds
This is pretty offbeat for Mega Man news, but then what isn't these days? Over the weekend, voice actor Koichi Yamadera announced on the internet that he became wed to Rie Tanaka. Ms. Tanaka (or, perhaps Mrs. Yamadera now) of course is well known to us for providing...
A Critical Look at Mega Man 2 Stages: Air Man
Air Man's Stage and music. This is Goblin. He appears as you approach and acts as a platform, though he has retractable horns to make using him as such difficult, and will produce Mini Goblins whenever Mega Man is above him. (It's a mouth.) (It's a nose. --Ed.) There...
Rockman 2 Poster Returns from the Past
Going through some photos, I happened across this one I took at a used game store somewhere in Osaka. It's a promotional flyer for Rockman 2, back before the game came out. Sadly it's not a real poster, but a print out from a scan or photo (but I might ask for a copy...

Think Tuttle’s Legendary Travels Looks Cool? Then Check Out These Games

A Critical Look at Mega Man 2 Stages: Flash Man
Flash Man's Stage and music. This stage takes the split paths idea and cranks it to 11. The first two screens have nothing going on in them, but that's actually a good move, since the entire level is slippery and it gives the player a chance to realize that before...
Happy Rock Day – Mega Man Fans Around the World Unite!
Happy Rock Day everyone! Of course, every day is a fine day to think of the awesomeness that is Mega Man, but because of a Japanese pun with numbers, June 9th is an "official" day of observance. If you've got any free time, boot up your favorite Mega Man games and...
The Making of the Cover for Archie’s Mega Man #17
A couple of weeks ago, we got our first look at the two covers for the 17th issue of Archie's Mega Man comic book series, which is poised to take a look at the origin of everyone's favorite Bro-bot, Proto Man. Chad Thomas, who created the art for one of those covers,...

Remember This? Rockman X6 Commercial Resurfaces
A few days ago, we posted this "lost" commercial for Rockman.EXE 3: Black Version, which had been posted to YouTube recently by hikachi8. Well, he's back at it again! More recently, he posted another Rockman commercial, one that we-- and maybe you-- might remember a...
Dr. Wily Disappears from Film “Wreck-It Ralph”?
You'll recall sometime back of the interesting buzz surrounding the movie Wreck-It Ralph, featuring a host of video game villain cameos, including, apparently, Dr. Wily. However, in the newly released trailer for the movie, Wily appears to be replaced by... generic...
“Rock Day” Homage Collage – The Fandom Literally Overflowed
Just a couple days ago, we brought you word of a fun activity to get involved in and show support for Mega Man. And get involved you did - perhaps a tad too much! We have this note from Amunshen: Since we got so many applicants (it’s near 100 right now), unavoidably...
Zero Makes TR’s List of Endings More Depressing Than Mass Effect 3
Well, that title turned out to be a mouthful... Anyway, let's face it: These days, it's usually a small pleasure to see Mega Man acknowledged by the "mainstream" gaming press; that is, the press which covers gaming on a broader level than just the newest fad, but not...
