Kotaku
It's kind of a slow news day today, but then, it's Memorial Day, so what do you expect? To that end, it might interest some of you to know that during the intervening slowness of today's video game news, Kotaku has apparently developed a serious-- er, "passion" for...
FUNimation and Mega Man: Together at Last?
It seems that Anime Boston has brought some new and unexpected news to the world of Mega Man. Word has it that FUNimation, most famously (as well as infamously) for their use of the North American Dragon Ball anime license, reportedly announced at the convention that...
Roll Pwnz Genies, Capcom Pwnz Roll
The original Mega Man's sister, Roll, has had her foot dipped in the fighting game genre for some time now, thanks to the Marvel VS. Capcom titles, but things were shaken up a bit as she joined the Tatsunoko VS. Capcom roster. In Capcom's latest VS. title, Roll...
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...
Tatsunoko vs Capcom America Bound!
In a completely shocking turn of events, Capcom has decided to bring over this mishmash cross over fighting game outside of Japan. Found here on GoNintendo, it appears that the July issue of Nintendo Power will be featuring a story on the english edition of this...
Jazwares Speaks on Future of Mega Man Figure Line
Since the last wave of Jazwares' Mega Man action figure line, which featured characters such as Cut Man, Proto Man, Command Mission Mega Man X, and Rush, as well as their "Retro Roto" figures modeled after the oldschool art style, the company had seemingly gone silent...
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...
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 Tron/Gustaff & Servbot Cosplay on eBay
Want to go to your favorite anime, video game, or comic convention this Summer as two of the most memorable characters from the MegaMan Legends series, but don't have the skill/are too lazy to bring them to life? Never fear, because eBay is here, and they've brought...
Mega Man Nominated for Robot Hall of Fame
It was recently brought to our attention by Klonoa that none other than Mega Man has been nominated to be inducted into the Robot Hall of Fame. As such, he joins other esteemed nominees as Data from Star Trek, Wall-E, Optimus Prime, and the current leader, Bender...
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...
Capcom’s legacy surprise: 20 to 40 PS1 & PSP games coming to PSN
Just when you thought Capcom couldn't be releasing more games this year, they go and tell Joystiq they're aiming for another 20 to 40 PSOne and PSP games to be released in the next few months. With that large a number, there's bound to be at least one Mega Man game in...
Famitsu: Rockman DASH/X among sequels Japanese want most
The latest issue of Famitsu contained a reader survey of which game series people want most. And wouldn't you know it, of the fifty games included in the list, both Rockman DASH and Rockman X landed on the list. In fact, they placed fairly high, with Rockman DASH...
Mega Marathon Man 2 gearing up
Watching people play Mega Man games may not be quite as fun as playing them yourself, but it can be just as rewarding when it's for a good cause. After the success of last year's Mega Marathon Man, a non-stop Mega Man gaming session where viewers could watch and...
