Happy Birthday Inafune!!

Pop the bubbly and cut the cake, because good ol' Keiji Inafune, creator of our beloved Mega Man, is celebrating his 44th birthday. Wow, 44 years old. That means for nearly half of his life, Inafune has been working on Mega Man (of course for many of us, it's an even...

“What? Mega Man’s Taken Over the Bomb?!”

Ah, now here's yet another blast from the past, one which I bet fewer Mega Man fans are familiar with. Many of us remember the Ruby-Spears Mega Man animated series which ran in syndication, went to Fox Family, then was released on DVD and then re-released on DVD again...

First “Made In Ore” Rockman appears

I've not yet given myself the opportunity to get into WarioWare, which is curious considering I'm sickeningly addicted to Rhythm Heaven. But that's another story. The resently released "Made In Ore," or WarioWare: Myself! as it will be known to us, allows players to...

Capcom Still Has More Surprises in Store for E3

The past few days have been abuzz with news from Capcom, though precious little of it has had anything to do with Mega Man. Sure, there's Marvel vs. Capcom 2, which features the Blue Bomber and his sister, plus Tron Bonne and the Servbots, and there's Dead Rising 2,...

Bi~cycle, Bi~cycle… X Wants to Ride…

Happy 20th anniversary, Game Boy!

Sure this really has nothing to do with Mega Man, but the Game Boy is a legendary handheld gaming system, and Mega Man V for Game Boy is probably one of my favorite Mega Man times of all time. To be honest, with all the 20th and even 25th anniversaries that have been...

Mega Man: Master of Ding Dong Ditch

Those of you wanting more "Rockman Dash" will have to settle for this right now (haw haw). In this artwork by Masao, we see what Mega Man apparently likes to do in his off time. Funny, 'cause this really seems more like something Proto Man would do. I'm pretty sure...
