Capcom’s Christian Svensson Assures that Xover “Isn’t All”
It's a fact a lot of people have been disappointed in Rockman Xover - I can't even say I'm excited about it myself, though I'm waiting to see its details. Still, some of you nutty nuts immediately assumed that this would be the only thing commemorating Mega Man's...

Start Singing the Blues with This Battle Network Remix
Hey, who remembers Mega Man Battle Network? Psyguy does, and he's created a remix of the theme for ProtoMan.EXE (aka Blues.EXE) from the series (or Rockman.EXE 4.5: Real Operation, at least), and you can give it a listen over on Newgrounds. Of course, since it's...

What Do Our Far East Friends Think of Xover?
When Rockman Xover was announced about a couple weeks back, reactions to the news were... not terribly positive, to put it lightly. Not only fans, but even writers at gaming news sites like Destructoid and Kotaku put the game to shame. While little may be known about...
Dorkly: Leaked Memos Explain Early Mega Man Box Art Designs
If there is any part of Mega Man which is sure to outlive the franchise itself, it would be the notoriety of the original series' earliest box art. But how did such design decisions ever come to pass? Why is Mega Man sporting a Tron-esque outfit and handgun on the...

Happy Birthday to Hitoshi Ariga
Today marks the birthday of Mr. Hitoshi Ariga, and we just wanted to wish him the happiest one he could possibly have (and maybe a job working for Capcom heading up the Mega Man brand). For those who have been living under one of Guts Man's rocks, or are simply fresh...
Looking Back: Nintendo Power Covers Mega Man
Yesterday, news broke that Nintendo Power magazine will soon be ending its nearly 25-year run as a print magazine, though there is some hope that it may continue as an online presence. When it comes to print magazines, Mega Man could not have asked for a better friend...

More Mega Music from Mega Man Legends

10 Songs That Share Their Names with Robot Masters

Tuttle’s Legendary Travels Launches “Sturm Servbot Event”
Remember a few months ago, when we told you about the up-and-coming fan game set in the world of Mega Man Legends called "Tuttle's Legendary Travels?" One part of that was that there would be contests to help the development along in a way akin to the Mega Man Legends...
A Critical Look at Mega Man 3 Stages: Snake Man
Editor's Note: This is incredibly embarrassing... we accidentally posted last week's entry out-of-order! Here is where the Mega Man 3 series was supposed to begin. We'll make sure we get it right from here on out! --LBD Mega Man 3 Title Music Stage Select Music...
Mega Man: One of Smosh’s “22 Epic Video Game Movie Posters”
...with 21 more where that came from on Smosh.com. And yes, we realize that's Mega Man X as the poster boy for a Mega Man movie, but since when has Hollywood cared that much about accuracy? (Okay, so Pixar probably would...) Anyway, what do you think? Does that look...
This Custom Mega Man Figure Has Been Through Hell
A lot of you are probably familiar with Donald "Kodykoala" Kennedy's custom figures, and his latest Mega Man statue commission continues his love for showing the insides of game characters. This commission was requested as another Mega Man anatomy statue, but having...

The Mega Man Network Interviews Archie’s Ian Flynn on Mega Man/Sonic Crossover
When the announcement was made that the Blue Bomber and the Blue Blur would finally be teaming up officially (rather than simply shaking hands in some cross-promotional artwork), we-- like many of you-- had several questions. So naturally, we leaped at the first...
