Slow News Day Leads to Fast Gameplay
Things are just a little bit slow in Mega Man news lately, so we've decided to speed things up a little by featuring a video of Mega Man 10 for WiiWare being completed in less than 34 minutes: Yes, this is tool-assisted (you can find the details of that here, and no,...
Mega Man and Dr. Wily Make X-Play’s X-List of the Top 5 Hero/Villain Combos in Gaming
On a (somewhat) recent edition of G4TV's X-Play, hosts Morgan Webb and Blair Herter counted down their top five hero/villain combinations in all of gaming, and on the list were Mega Man and his arch-nemesis, Dr. Wily: There were one or two noticeable inaccuracies...

Mega Man Gets Delicious
This may look like just an ordinary statue of Mega Man. But this sculpture by Toni Spaziani is, in fact, made out of chocolate. That's right, you could take a big, tasty bite out of it! Well, providing it's not coated in some kind of special lacquer or preservative. I...
Gamasutra Examines Capcom’s “Open-Door” Policy for Mega Man Legends 3
Fan participation in the creative process is nothing new to Capcom, as fans have been helping design Robot Masters and NetNavis for years. But with the rise of the Mega Man Legends 3 Project and Devroom, which allows fans and users to interact with the developers and...

Art Buster: The Mega Man Tribute Fanbook
When UDON announced the Mega Man Tribute book, every Mega Man fan artist had a stroke. Right there on the spot. Once medics were called and the artists revived, thousands got to work on their entries. UDON had over 3000 entries. Sadly, being a 300 page book, not...
The Last Mega Man Commercial in North America
Protodude has managed to track down the last Mega Man commercial aired in the United States. Thankfully, it's not the "He's Called the Blue Bomber... Because He's Blue!" one. Oh, Mom... (Really, that reminds me a bit of growing up.) The last shot is a bit interesting,...
Dr. Wily: Madman or Savior?
Click to enlarge. Some of you may have seen the above image passed around. It's amusing, as well as interesting, in that it essentially takes what we all know of Dr. Thomas Light, and puts a unique and entertaining spin on it. Over at Destructoid, Tony Ponce has gone...

Mega Man, Meet the Mega Boy
Okay, everyone, you can relax: Capcom isn't saddling us with a new, younger version of Mega Man that feels cribbed from Jim Henson's Muppet Babies (he's already 10, and they already gave us Powered Up, if the idea needed to be driven home). Rather, one fan has taken...
Rockman Perfect Memories Manga Translated
Does anyone remember Rockman Perfect Memories? No, we don't mean the website, but rather, the book of the same name which saw a Japan-only release in December of 2002 to celebrate 15 years of Rockman with looks at the five series of the day: "The Origin Rockman,"...
Gamespite’s Metool Musings
Ah, the Met. Whether it is referred to as a Met, a Metall, a Metool, or even just a simple Hardhat, it is perhaps the most iconic of all the enemies seen across the multiple games and series of the Mega Man franchise. Is there any other worthier of tribute? Perhaps,...
Dorkly Ranks Mega Man 10 on 10 Most Frustrating Achievements in Xbox LIVE History

A Look Back at Bandai’s Mega Man Cartoon Action Figures
Once upon a time, Mega Man fans-- particularly those outside of Japan-- had it pretty rough. For a time, if a fan of the Blue Bomber wanted to reenact their favorite adventures through the childhood pastime of pitting plastic action figures against one-another, they...
