When is a Commercial Not a Commercial?

Possibly when Germany has an ad for Mega Man 4. The only problem here (besides the odd robot interstitials) is that the footage is mostly from Mega Man 2: Oh well. It still beats the "he's called the Blue Bomber because he's BLUE" spots. News Credit: Protodude's...

Five things Legends 3 must have

Mega Man Legends 3 fever is buzzing, folks. More and more you hear people asking about the title, and with last year's release of Mega Man 9, support for the revival of Legends is beginning to boil over. I don't see how Capcom can go on as the cries of hungry wolves...

More petitioning to Capcom for Mega Man Legends 3, this time coming from gaming blog Scrawl, where one Sal feels Capcom should be focusing on the sought after continuation instead of other franchise sequels like the recently announced Dead Rising 2 and Lost Planet 2....

So, Just How Much Do You Like Roll Caskett?

This would be a picture perfect example of being careful of what you wish for. Or, at least, how you wish for it. I've been clear before that I hope Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop for the Wii would have a Mega Man costume, just as the Xbox 360 version did....

So, Just How Much Do You Like Ciel?

Recently uncovered in a Yahoo! Auction is an ultra-rare piece of merchandise in the form of a Rockman/Mega Man Zero telephone card. It features an original picture of Ciel by series artist Toru Nakayama that you are probably not going to find anywhere else (and if you...

Capcom considers more DS titles

As reported by Siliconera, Capcom's Q&A conference call for the third quarter of the fiscal year reveals the company is considering more DS titles besides the Ace Attorney game currently in the works. I was a little surprised to realize that, despite the great success...

CoroCoro doesn’t deliver

While I haven't seen it for myself, sources tell me that the latest installment of CoroCoro offers no announcement of any new Rockman title; simply just secret boss info and such for Ryuusei no Rockman 3. Furthermore, no such promise is given for the next issue's...

Awhile back, we posted a link to one fan's article about why the Wii is a perfect fit for MegaMan Legends. Now, we've received a link from a fan named "Main Finger" which leads to an editorial about "Why MegaMan Legends 3 Needs to be Made (and why it should be for...

And the Winner for WiiWare Game of the Year Is…

As if there was any doubt. I just received the latest issue of Nintendo Power, which contains the results for this year's Nintendo Power Awards. And as one might expect, the Blue Bomber took home the gold in a few categories, courtesy of his latest adventure in Mega...

Mega Man X9 Should NOT Be 8-Bit

Mega Man 9 was able to use 8-bit graphics as a selling point because six out of the then eight numbered games were on the Famicom / Nintendo Entertainment System. As such, a majority of Mega Man's fanbase recognized him as a Nintendo icon, an "old-school" figure that...

Mega Man Legends Beta… Dialogue?

Continuing the recent trend of uncovering old, unused, and changed stuff from the world of Mega Man comes Keiji Dragon's discovery of a YouTube "video" of unused dialogue from Mega Man Legends. I use the term "video" loosely, as it's only text describing the dialogue...

History is repeating itself

Perhaps the only thing worse than waiting for the announcement of a brand new Mega Man title is waiting for the announcement of a brand new Mega Man title and having no idea what it might be. Since 2001 we've been fairly comfortable with predicting the followups for...

How is Mega Man 9 doing still?

I think it's safe to say the enchantment Mega Man 9 held with the gaming world has mostly worn off by now. While its still a fantastic game and all, it's going on five months since it released and numerous other games have filled up the spotlight of current interest....

Another call out for Legends 3

I honestly do believe that Mega Man Legends 3 is poised to be, well, the next Mega Man 9. Sure it wouldn't have the convenience of being inexpensive to produce and downloadable, and it's not the only Mega Man series fans are clamoring for a return of. However, I do...

Six Brand New Copies of Mega Man 64 for a Grand

Well, the recession seems to be hitting someone particularly hard. Now, don't get me wrong-- I love Mega Man Legends as much as just about anyone here. But this guy is trying to unload six factory-sealed copies, still in their original factory box at that, for...
