Robot Hall of Fame Update

It's amazing what a little publicity can do. After we reported on Mega Man's nomination to be inducted into the Robot Hall of Fame, the story was picked up by Protodude's Rockman Corner, Capcom*Unity, and more, and in the process, it would seem that the Blue Bomber...

Yo, Proto (Man)!

Remember the G.I. Joe/Mega Man crossover figure we reported on last week? Well, it appears that Jin Saotome is back at it again, and this time, he's bringing in the Blue Bomber's older bro to join the struggle. But will he side with a real American hero, or assist the...

Inafune isn’t going to the Nordic Game conference after all

Blame the pigs!  Just kidding. The Nordic Game conference has confirmed that Inafune can't attend due to Capcom's rules concerning foreign travel during the H1N1 epidemic/pandemic.  While it's a regrettable development and is quite disappointing for fans of his...

Teen Designs Space City of the Future

Given the presence and impact of the space colony Eurasia in multiple Mega Man games, I felt this might be of some interest to our readers. 17-year old Eric Yam of Toronto, Ontario recently won a NASA grand prize for designing Asten, "a democratic colony far above...

The Horrors of Western Box Art… Halo Style

Some could argue that Mega Man's North American box was the absolute worst Western box art to grace a Japanese game's overseas version.  In that vein, Bungie sought to recreate the same horrors with their own top series.  GameSpy now has the final product for all to...

Mega Man: A Real American Hero

I've never made any secret of the fact that I'm a big fan of TransFormers, but the thought of crossing Mega Man with them has never really crossed my mind (even with Keiji Inafune and the TransFormers essentially sharing the same birthday. However, one fan has...

I’m a Flash Man

Caught this one over on GoNintendo. These songs are more than 20 years apart, but they may have more in common than you think. Give 'em a listen and see for yourself. Of course, there are a few well known cases of Mega Man music sounding like other music from the...

Happy Birthday Inafune!!

Pop the bubbly and cut the cake, because good ol' Keiji Inafune, creator of our beloved Mega Man, is celebrating his 44th birthday. Wow, 44 years old. That means for nearly half of his life, Inafune has been working on Mega Man (of course for many of us, it's an even...

“What? Mega Man’s Taken Over the Bomb?!”

Ah, now here's yet another blast from the past, one which I bet fewer Mega Man fans are familiar with. Many of us remember the Ruby-Spears Mega Man animated series which ran in syndication, went to Fox Family, then was released on DVD and then re-released on DVD again...

Custom Mega Man from Megaland

Sometimes, when you're a fan of something long enough, you learn to take some of the older, less-favorable stuff in stride. Such is the case with this custom figure by one Kyle Robinson, whose work I found when doing research for a separate article. Kyle took one of...

First “Made In Ore” Rockman appears

I've not yet given myself the opportunity to get into WarioWare, which is curious considering I'm sickeningly addicted to Rhythm Heaven. But that's another story. The resently released "Made In Ore," or WarioWare: Myself! as it will be known to us, allows players to...
