D-Arts Zero Fades to Black on Yahoo! Japan Auctions
What's better than Zero? Well, depending on the game (and how liberal you are about code usage, in some cases), the answer would be "Zero in black." First appearing in Mega Man X2 as a result of Sigma's failure to "study the blueprints closely" (maybe he's color...

The Game Boy Mega Man games have some of my favorite music in the series, though in truth the tunes are often overlooked by fans and musicians. So thank goodness that Blues 'Chaos' Light has cooked up his own arranged EP, featuring a track from each game. You can...
A Critical Look at Mega Man 2 Stages: Air Man
Air Man's Stage and music. This is Goblin. He appears as you approach and acts as a platform, though he has retractable horns to make using him as such difficult, and will produce Mini Goblins whenever Mega Man is above him. (It's a mouth.) (It's a nose. --Ed.) There...
