Updates on that boss contest
By now my predictions for the boss character contest have been pretty off, but as more details come in it's looking more like this is a boss character contest like none other before. According to our viewer Fireman, the deadline for the contest is indeed February...
Zero & Iris: Special Edition
Remember when George Lucas decided to gussy up all those old Star Wars movies with modern day polish, special effects, and new footage, effectively ruining them in the eyes of many fans? Well, this isn't quite as bad as all that, namely because the anime cutscenes in...
Game Informer chit chats with Inafune
Online magazine Game Informer has an interview with the man, Keiji Inafune, up for reading, and he talks a little about Mega Man among other things. (Hey, if you got to meet George Lucas, would you not talk to him about Star Wars?) A bit of his discussion includes...

The Lucky Star Effect
Anyone who knows of Lucky Star also knows of the tons of remixes that have ended up on Nico Nico Douga and subsequently Youtube. While some are basically remixes that overlap songs, a few stand out and are copied ad nauseam with other characters. Here's my latest...

Rockman X3 Capture Book (Kouriyakahen)
I was browsing the homie Rodrigo Shin's blog after I got home from school and peeped an interesting post with some X3 pictures. Turns out they're pictures from something called the "Rockman X3 Capture Book." I can't quite make out what the deal is on it, but I assume...
Betting on Bosses
We have a new Rockman boss contest coming up soon, and I feel like wagering on what I think it'll be. Granted, I'm not crazy about making predicitions, partly because I don't like being wrong. On top of that, information of the boss contest will surface any day now -...
Learning About Gaming at an Early Age
This one's a little more all-purpose gaming, but I wanted to share nonetheless. Apparently, Melodie here is a really fast learner, and so her parents have taken advantage of this to get her started on the road to gaming by creating a set of flash cards which each...
We’re Back (again)!
Well, it's finally done. Eh, sort of. The holiday season slowed us down a little, but we have finally re-established ourself on a new server, and as you can see, things have been shaken up a little bit. The first thing you may notice is this: The Mega Man Network...

Capcom Store to Sell RM9 OST
This image from the Capcom-Unity blog's whiteboard would certainly indicate Capcom USA is planning to sell the Rockman 9 Original Soundtrack on their online store. Since it's the Rockman 9 soundtrack (as opposed to the Mega Man 9 soundtrack), it seems the albums will...
They grow up so fast
Indeed they do. Ok, I'm jumping the proverbial December 17th gun a little bit, but technically it's already the 17th in the East. That's right, our beloved Mega Man / Rockman has turned 21. Mega Man's 20th year came with some big surprises, with Mega Man 9's true...
The rumors, the rumors
There's been a lot of discussion about a new Rockman title in the works lately. Unfortunately, it's a lot of discussion based on smoke. I haven't seen much of anything that proves the accuracy of what's been going around, including small snippets taken from Japanese...
Rating the Robot Masters
I think we can all agree that the Robot Masters in a Mega Man game play a big role in how well that game is regarded. Gaming analyst Sean Malstrom has a pretty lengthy article which seeks to rank each Robot Master from the first eight Mega Man titles and see if the...
