Megamanathon for Child’s Play This Weekend
As we mentioned earlier, OtaRockman is this weekend, but if you're unable to go, that doesn't mean you won't be able to get your fill of Blue Bomber goodness. In fact, you'll probably be able to get even more, and can help a good cause in the process! On Sunday, July...
This Weekend is OtaRockman 2012
This year's Otakon is going to be held from July 27th through July 29th at the Baltimore Convention Center in Baltimore, Maryland. And unfortunately, unlike in previous years, there is going to be no Mega Man panel at the convention. Not for a lack of trying, mind; we...
A Critical Look at Mega Man 2 Stages: Dr. Wily Stage 4
Map of Dr. Wily Stage 4. We're given a few refills before beginning a long vertical climb. However, this section has a catch. We're introduced to fake floors, the first of which dumps us on a Met if we haven't killed it yet. That hole continues upward, blocking off...
MegaMan.EXE Drops In at Manchester Comic Con
We haven't seen very much of MegaMan.EXE ever since some not terribly well known time travel shenanigans. But our digital blue hero seems to be getting by still, and just recently showed up at Manchester Comic Con in England. Of course, really this is just cosplayer...
Music… Makes the Mega Man Fans… Come Together…
Just a quick musical update for you. First comes a tip which we nearly lost track of from a while back, and comes our way courtesy of @BluesT_Robot on Twitter. It's a cool 8-bit style remix of the "Flutter vs. Gesellschaft" theme from Mega Man Legends: Here's a...
Showing Ninetails Who’s Boss
Gonna be honest - I never got into Mega Man X Command Mission, or many RPGs in general. So, when Sigma Zero X wrote in, saying this was a sleek way of defeating the game's special boss Ninetails, I kind of had to take his word for it. And hey, we don't often get a...
100,000 Strong Says “Screw It, We’ll Build the Rocket Ourselves”
"Fine! If you're not going to build a rocket to get MegaMan Volnutt off the moon, then we will!" In addition to the news of a concept album revealed in the latest Roll's Wrap-Up earlier, 100,000 Strong for Mega Man Legends 3/Get Me Off the Moon announced on this...
100,000 Strong Opens Assembly of a Mega Man Legends 3 “Concept Album”
Break it down! Do the monkey with me! That's the rough gist of the latest community event to come from Get Me Off the Moon, aka 100,000 Strong for Mega Man Legends 3's latest "Roll's Wrap-Up." The idea is basically to come up with and make the kind of music you think...
Public Voting on Neo Devroom’s “Ruin Roundup” Begins
Imagine you are a seasoned and accomplished Digger. You've been on countless adventures over the years. Unfurled bizarre mysteries. Battled building sized Reaverbots. You've got so many refractors in the bank, it's kind of ridiculous, frankly. And no pirate's going to...
Mega Man Legends is Hayao Miyazaki
...along with every other game, according to a recent 1UP feature written by Jeremy Parish. As part of the site's week-long cover story about "How Comics Shaped Games," Parish takes a special look at the influence of Japanese animator Hayao Miyazaki and how-- despite...
A Critical Look at Mega Man 2 Stages: Dr. Wily Stage 3
Here's the map of Wily Stage 3 and its Music This stage offers a few refills, then dumps us in some disgusting-looking water. Though this stage is just as ugly as the last, I do appreciate that it's pushing the dirty factory look a bit more; gives it a more menacing...
Keiji Inafune Receives 100K for Mega Man Legends 3 Shirt at Expo
Earlier this month the annual Japan Expo was held in Paris, France. Numerous big names in Japanese culture and media were in attendance, including the "Father of Mega Man" Keiji Inafune. Ancode Udw, a huge Mega Man fan and a member of the Facebook group 100,000...
Crowdsource Inspiration Presents: Robotic Dreams
A couple of days ago on Twitter, Kavalier Calm (@inspiredcrowd) tipped us off to a new song he'd written and posted to his Tumblr called "Robotic Dreams." The song came from a suggestion for “a song about Mega Man, how he’s no different than a lamp or vacuum, a...
Axl Makes the News, Talks Shop About His Wear
Here's a Maverick Hunter you probably didn't expect to see when tuning in to NBC 7 San Diego. This guy's Axl costume, which I must say is pretty well made, won him some prime time. I never thought much of Axl myself, but I have to give respect for this amazing...
Your First Look at WF2012 Summer Rockman Goods
Wonder Fest, as you may know, is a twice a year super-assembly for model and figure-making fans. And lately, there's been more and more Rockman wares available by dedicated garage artists. Sadly, it does not appear that Hobby Rock is organizing again for...
Zero 2nd Contest Entries – A Mega Man Merchandise Party!
Even after wrapping up this contest, it still haunts me! As promised, Tabby and I have collected together all the entries for your viewing pleasure. I think when you look over them, you'll come to understand why we had so much trouble deciding on a winner. Be...
A Critical Look at Mega Man 2 Stages: Dr. Wily Stage 2
The map of Dr.Wily Stage 2. First up is a gauntlet of Flyboys, two large weapon energy refills, and a gap that can only be crossed with Item 2. This here is how you do required item segments well. The terrain starts close to the top of the screen, making the Flyboys...
Looking for Something to Keep Your D-Arts Mega Man X In?
Click to embiggen. Just ask a Transformers fan: Where the official toy companies fail to come through, you can often count on the fans to do something impressive. That is, when Hasbro failed to come through with things such as a new version of Springer, the giant...
Mega Ran’s Latest Track is Da Bomb
Yeah that was too easy, but BD would be proud. Anyway, Random, aka Mega Ran, has a new track out: "Take Your Turn," based off Bomb Man's theme. The track is a look back at Mega Ran's beginnings; appropriate that he's ringing in his own 5th anniversary album, which...
