Dr. Wily Disappears from Film “Wreck-It Ralph”?

“Rock Day” Homage Collage – The Fandom Literally Overflowed

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...

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

Powerglove Goes to Japan with Mega– er, Rockman
