FANMADE: Why Legends 3 Needs to Be Made on Wii
Awhile back, we posted a link to one fan's article about why the Wii is a perfect fit for MegaMan Legends. Now, we've received a link from a fan named "Main Finger" which leads to an editorial about "Why MegaMan Legends 3 Needs to be Made (and why it should be for...
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...
History is repeating itself
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
(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...
