Archie’s Mega Man Getting Some Appreciation in Japan
Archie's Mega Man comic series has been enjoying healthy sales and popularity in the west. So you can be sure fans of Rockman across the Pacific have been taking notice. While it may be tough to get and tough to read, there are fans who enjoy the comic in Japan, too....
Behold the One-Man Spark Mandrill Acapella
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...
Game Grumps Lock Their Sights on Mega Man X7
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...
Brazilian Mega Man Makes Cracked List of Iconic Characters’ Insane Foreign Comic Reboots
Cracked has a new list up, this one detailing "5 Iconic Characters Who Got Insane Reboots in Foreign Comics." Interestingly enough, for only being five entries long, two of them go to comic book versions of video game characters. In addition to the story "Super Mario...
Introducing The Mega Man Network’s Rock Tumblr!
For those of you out there who use Tumblr, we just wanted to let you know that we've carved out our own little space on the blogging network. Called "The Mega Man Network's Rock Tumblr," we'll be providing links to new content on TMMN as it comes, but also some more...
Inafune Doodles Mega Man at Boss Battle Gallery
With Keiji Inafune recently dropping by San Francisco, it looks like he made his way to the Mega Man Boss Battle art gallery. Not only that, but he was caught doing a little Mega graffiti, too. It's nice to see how much respect Inafune still has for Mega Man even...
Get Equipped with Mega Meow Shirt!
Okay, technically it's Mega Neko, a new Mega Man-inspired t-shirt now available for $24.99 over at Pengew Apparel. Inspired by the Japanese Maneki-neko statue, which is said to bring its owners good luck, the description reads "This little kitten will bring you good...
Use the Washroom with Mega Man
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...
The Harlem Shake, Mega Man-Style?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRWryTQDK4o Are you tired of the Harlem Shake yet? If so, it turns out you're not the only one. Watch as Dr. Wily discovers it in the 16th of the fad's 15 minutes of fame; suffice to say, everyone else around is over it. Thanks for the...
Have a Listen to an Upcoming Mega Man Fan Album
Here is a cross fade sample of an up and coming Mega Man fan arranged album, MegaMusicMix. The album is being put together by Colis Records, creators of past doujin albums like RockLove and Rockbuster. However, this album is recruiting various fan artists to put...
Is This the Way to Build the Perfect Mega Man X?
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,...
100K Strong: MML3 Concept Album Update & LiveStream News
Two quick updates for you from 100,000 Strong for Bringing Back Mega Man Legends 3. First, regarding the Mega Man Legends 3 Concept Album: As you might have noticed, that hit a bit of a snag, as BandCamp apparently has a "200 free download" limit before they begin...
Blast from the Past: Get Equipped with… Mega Man’s Bow and Arrow Set?
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...
Fan Comic Illustrates Protomen Song
Hope may ride alone, but at least we can all enjoy cool artwork as a collective. An artist named Billosopher recently drew a wicked-looking comic that narrates the events in the song "Hope Rides Alone" by The Protomen. It’s certainly a slick-looking number. Note:...
Sample the Music and Gameplay of “Rockman Ciel”
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...
Take a Tour of the Mega Man Boss Battle Gallery
If you haven't been able to drop by the Mega Man Boss Battle art gallery, you can still check out this virtual tour via GameSpot. It shows off a bit of the work, interviews a few of the contributing artists, and incorrectly identifies Spark Man. Of course the show is...
Inafune Voices His Support of 100,000 Strong for Bringing Back Mega Man Legends 3
So, a funny thing happened over on the Facebook group 100,000 Strong for Bringing Back Mega Man Legends 3, aka "Get Me Off the Moon." Following the success of their interview with Reika Morishita, Skybane Zero thought he would try his luck with none other than "The...
100K Strong’s Mega Man Legends 3 Concept Album Reaches Completion
It's been a while since we last heard some news on the Mega Man Legends 3 concept album first revealed back in August, but rest assured that time has not been spent idly-- in fact, the project is now complete! The project began to commemorate one year since the...
Rockman Unity Gets a Cold Boot
Official Rockman fan site Rockman Unity, where spokesperson Ucchy posts various content and announcements, is getting a fresh start, but not in a good way. Last week the site ran into technical issues, causing posts to be un-openable, and eventually disappearing...
See Mega Ran and Grab a Special New Shirt
Rapper and game enthusiast Mega Ran is going on spring tour. If you show up at one of his gigs, you can get a special edition "Clover Shield" shirt, with artwork by Thormeister (who is the Official TMMN Bad Ass if you didn't know). Not a bad little design to wear for...
