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...

Protodude has dug up a fairly old and rather weird commercial for a group of PlayStation 2 games from Japan, one of which is Rockman X7. Regardless of your thoughts on the quality of the game, this remains interesting nonetheless: Each character is a mascot-style...

Mock Man Rules the World

If any of you are/were like me, then when you were a kid, the thought of being Mega Man in real life held a certain allure. The action, the adventure, being a hero... Well, as it turns out, being Mega Man in real life would probably not be all that great, as the...
