Bi~cycle, Bi~cycle… X Wants to Ride…

Protodude has dug up a fairly old and rather weird commercial for a group of PlayStation 2 games from Japan, one of which is Rockman X7. Regardless of your thoughts on the quality of the game, this remains interesting nonetheless: Each character is a mascot-style...

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...

Capcom countdown site points to MvsC2

Late last night, Capcom posted the mysterious countdown site tu4ar.com. While I'm not certain where it originated that this site belongs to Capcom, you can see the data loading from a Capcom nameserver when the site loads. All the site is right now is a countdown,...

Up for Grabs: Mega Man 9 Press Kit Signed by Inafune

Here it is, Mega Fans: The ultimate souvenir. Just about any diehard Mega Man fan would give their eye teeth for one of Capcom's Mega Man 9 faux-NES press kits, and the same goes for an autograph of Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune (provided one doesn't have either)....

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...

Wily Wars is Nintendo Power’s top VC pick

In the latest issue of Nintendo Power, the game the NP staff want most to appear on VC is Mega Man: The Wily Wars. Good pick, if you ask me. I've been fairly vocal about a Wily Wars re-release for some years. Its a nice collection of classics that many Americans...

Get equipped with laser eyes

Maybe Mega Man 2 is too hard for you. Maybe you can't get past Quick Man's laser beams, or Heat Man's lava pits, or you just can't beat Air Man. If that's the case, this hack may be for you. The Nintendo emulator FCEUX has a special scripting plugin called Lua, which...

Mega Man Star Force 3 English Footage? (Updated)

Two videos of what appears to be the North American version of Mega Man Star Force 3: Black Ace seem to have surfaced on YouTube. These don't seem to be trailers, but rather user-created footage... or half-footage, since the bottom screen is MIA. Of course, how anyone...

CoroCoro Update – little else, really

A few days ago we broke the story of Clock Genius announced as the winner of the Rockman boss character contest held in CoroCoro. However, the image that accompanied the news was small and a little hard to make out. However, we've now gotten word from MMN viewer...

Rockman 5: Wily’s Dream Space Released

Remember how back in the day Mega Man 5 used to be tough to beat, but nowadays it's one of the easiest games to best in the franchise (unless you do some crazy No Charge Shot/Slide challenge, among others) without much effort? Always wanted one of the most favoured of...

8-bit Mega Man cookie is 8-bit (and yummy)

Over at GoNintendo, I caught this time lapse video of an entrepreneurial cook creating an enormous, 8-bit Mega Man cookie, pixel by pixel. The end result of three hours work is amazing, but would you really be able to eat such careful craftsmanship? (Yes) All I know...
