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 -...

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,...

(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...
