Operate Shooting Star seemingly not to have wi-fi
It has been questioned for some time now whether or not Rockman EXE Operate Shooting Star would have wi-fi gameplay or not. Wireless gameplay has been confirmed, but any indications of a wi-fi connection have been missing in OSS preview articles and the alleged box...
Mega Man 9 is Highly Recommended by Nintendo Channel, But Most DS Games Not Included
Recently, Nintendo has updated the Wii's "Nintendo Channel" with a new layout and new features. One such feature is the ability to make recommendations for DS titles. However, there are two small problems here, where a site such as ours is concerned. The first is that...

The news article that Bright Man doesn’t want you to read!
I know Bright Man very well. He was the first boss I managed to conquer in Mega Man 4. I don't recall what burned within me to take him down first, but that was my goal. It was fairly easy going, until he unfurled that blasted Flash Stopper. If you were lucky he'd...
Mega Man: Complete History Canceled
We have some bad news. It looks like the "Mega Man: Complete History" book we posted about back in July has been canceled. Here's the official word: "Unfortunately this book will not be published, but we are coming out with a Street Fighter book. I let the person who...
Operate Shooting Star site updates
Capcom of Japan's Rockman EXE Operate Shooting Star homepage receives updating tonight. What you'll probably be wanting to see most is here, the game info area. This now has sections for OSS's storyline, scenarios and game systems. In the game system, we see that...
My Apologies…
...but I simply could not help myself:
Largified CoroCoro scan for your perusal
To compliment our previous report, that sexy Protodude has got a sexy big scan of this month's CoroCoro report on Rockman EXE Operate Shooting Star. There isn't any integral new information, but from the image we can confirm the existing of GutsMan, FireMan and...

Inafune and Bungie: Together at Last?
In news not relating to Mega Man (that we know of), but still of some potential interest to fans of the Blue Bomber is that Capcom's Head of Research & Development and Online Business, Keiji Inafune, recently visited the studios of Bungie, developer of the massively...
Rumor: Rockman.EXE Operate Shooting Star Packshot Revealed
With Mega Man Star Force 3 having been released not very long ago, it feels kind of weird to think that another game is coming out so soon. Of course, Japan has had Ryuusei no Rockman 3 for some time now, but it's easy to forget. And now, rumor is that a tentative...
Did You Know? The Top Spin Doesn’t Suck
It has been a long and widely-held belief that the weapon of Mega Man 3's Top Man, the Top Spin, is the worst Special Weapon in the game, and perhaps one of the worst in the entire series. Beyond putting Shadow Man's lights out and tearing peace-keeping robot Gamma to...
GameDaily’s Top Ten Robot Masters

Keeping it retro: Game shows from around the world
With this trend of finding retro video game shows to reminisce about, here's something that is sure to please our Canadian visitors (all 20,000 of you). Video & Arcade Top 10 was a long running YTV (Youth Television) show where kids were invited to play games and...
Heat Man terrorizes the UK in Gamesmaster
You have to admit, as cheesy as they were, old videogame shows from the 80s and 90s were way cool. It's a shame that today gaming is much too "sophisticated" for stuff like that (unless you live in Japan, where you have the awesome Game Center CX). One such show from...

As we previously reported, Rockman EXE Operate Shooting Star would contain what appears to be MegaMan Battle Network's classic battle system. A couple of images from the latest issue of CoroCoro reveals that both MegaMans will be playable in this format. The first...
“Anything Else You Need to Know?”
"Energize Your Excitement." "Mega Man 3. Anything else you need to know?" "Help Mega Man turn Proto Man into spare parts." These were just some of the slogans which Capcom used in the magazine ads for their games way back in the day, for title such as Mega Man, Mega...
Zero a new character in Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom?
With the announcement that new characters are slated to be added to the US release of Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, fans have been hopeful to find out who those characters are. Now we may know, but unfortunately I must file this one under speculation. According to COCOROG, a...
