Behold the One-Man Spark Mandrill Acapella

Apr 5, 2013 | Community Developments

This is Smooth McGroove, who performs one-man acapella renditions of video game tunes. One man, though he plays eight different parts of the tune in synch, which is still impressive as you listen to his version of Spark Mandrill's theme from Mega Man X above, which...

Thanks to a tip from Toastykins, we're happy to bring to you the latest episode of "Game Grumps," in which Mega Man X7 is put through its paces by the Scramble-Changing duo of JonTron and Egoraptor (who sort of sounds like a Mega Man X character himself). Do note that...

Mar 31, 2013 | Community Developments

Use the Washroom with Mega Man

Mar 26, 2013 | Community Developments

Okay, so maybe that's not as appealing as it sounds, though Bubble Man's stage was a good choice of backdrop. From what we can tell, this was made in an otherwise-unknown public restroom. Scroll down to see inside one of the toilet stalls. Source, via Haydn Dalton's...

Is This the Way to Build the Perfect Mega Man X?

Mar 22, 2013 | Community Developments

The Mega Man X series is an interesting specimen, as some would argue that Capcom created a perfect game on the very first try, and the series has been all downhill from there. Conversely, many others have their own favorites from latter entries-- even Mega Man X7,...

Blast from the Past: Get Equipped with… Mega Man’s Bow and Arrow Set?

Mar 19, 2013 | Community Developments

Now here's a bit of an oddity. When TMMN reader "shinichi" mailed us with the tip, it teased us with Ruby-Spears Mega Man merchandise that we "never knew existed," but this one is actually quite familiar to us. Back in the heyday of the early 90s, you weren't likely...

Sample the Music and Gameplay of “Rockman Ciel”

Mar 17, 2013 | Community Developments

Rockman Ciel is a fan project I've kept my eye on off and on, but I don't think there's been any reporting of it on TMMN thus far. To the best of my knowledge, it serves as a continuation of sorts of the Zero series, now with Ciel picking up the saber and fighting...
