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...

What Happens if Wily Attacks with All 8 Robot Masters at Once
For as long as Mega Man has been around, there have been certain questions, certain bright ideas about how things are done. Things like "why not put those instant-kill spikes everywhere?" or "why not make a Robot Master completely out of Mettaur metal?" And while some...
Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Opening & New Footage
Fairly standard Tatsunoko vs. Capcom update, with one exception: This time, we've got the opening for the Wii version, which of course features none other than the Legend-ary MegaMan Volnutt himself, as well as the original Roll: Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Wii Opening If I...
8-bit Mega Man Art in 3D

Rumor: Nintendo Dream to Reveal New Rockman in February
