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...

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...

When is a Beta Not a Beta?

When the game is never released, unfortunately. Such was the sad eventuality which befell Mega Man Anniversary Collection, the Game Boy Advance game which had been formerly known as Mega Man Mania before an ironic change to accommodate a celebration it would never be...

The “untold story” behind Battle Network

MegaMan Battle Network was pretty surprising when it was first announced. I remember I was pretty skeptical of it - I especially had a hard time getting used to some of the new designs of old characters. But I like many others came to enjoy its theme and style, and as...

Mega Ran 9

Yeah, he's back, homies. Random promised us a Mega Man 9 release if our votes helped push him into the first place spot for the Online Hip-Hop Awards. We weren't enough to help, but as you can obviously see, he still came through and decided to do an EP. We'll have it...

Music’s back

Just a quick heads up: the music section has finally returned.  You'll find that it's still in the Mega Man Universe and it'll stay that way for the time being, though all of the links actually work now. I would have to ask all people who can still stream the files to...

Cool VG Art

Was just browsing some of the blogs in my RSS folder and came across this: I thought it was just a nice, little pic you guys would like to see. There's more art to check out on the blog posts. You don't see Mario and Mega Man together like that, so this fan art is...
