History is repeating itself

Feb 11, 2009 | Articles

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...

The “untold story” behind Battle Network

Feb 5, 2009 | Articles

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...

Legendary Rockman (and Mega Man) Commercials

Jan 17, 2009 | Articles

Since Heat Man decided to take us on a trip back in time with the commercials for the original Rockman games in Japan, I did want to say (as I often do whenever the opportunity affords itself) that there is a single Mega Man advertisement which I think did a very...

Betting on Bosses

Jan 8, 2009 | Articles

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 -...

A Wayward Hero

Apr 13, 2005 | Articles, Legacy Content

We've reached a turning point in the progression of the Mega Man X series, so it seems. At this point, it's pretty much common knowledge that Mega Man X5 was intended to be the end of the X series, to close it off and lead into the Zero series. And of course we all...

-Insert Company Here-: In it for the Money, part II

Oct 1, 2004 | Articles, Legacy Content

We've all (I think) read this little editorial (if not, get cracking) here, so perhaps it's time for a follow-up. Only this time, we'll focus on the larger realm of gaming. So, it's apparent that the companies that design video games are, in fact, in it to make money....

Capcom: In It For The Money

Jul 1, 2002 | Articles, Legacy Content

Yes, in this top-secret document I am here to tell you the news that so many have suspected for so long. I've heard it said high and low, over message board and chat room, in great disgust. "Capcom is in it for the money!" they yell, bringing to light a grave...

Anime Ethics

Mar 6, 2002 | Articles, Legacy Content

We live in a rather questionable time as far as ethics go. The internet has made everything digital, and everything accessible. It's hard to distinguish what is right and wrong in the view of the law, and more so what is right and wrong in the view of our own personal...

Animated Personality

Oct 16, 2001 | Fiber for the Irregular Hunter, Legacy Content

Thanks to the fine folks at Megaman Outpost, an episode of the American Mega Man cartoon is available for download. Naturally, this excited me. I remember getting up at 6 in the morning for the sole purpose of watching that show. As the 45-meg download trickled along,...

A Marriage Wrought In The Fires of Whatever

Apr 10, 2001 | Fiber for the Irregular Hunter, Legacy Content

(Plus DM's Ultimatum) By now you've no doubt heard the news of the amazing merger b'twixt Mega Man Network and Megaman Outpost. I'm going to set the record straight here, just to make sure there are no more wild rumors. First off, the merger did not come about as a...
