Dead Rising: Buster All You Can Muster
Mar 3, 2009 | Mega Man
We recently learned that, at the very least, Roll Caskett's costume is in the recently-released Capcom title Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop, which would allow for war journalist Frank West to dress up as the 14-year old girl. After which, the world collectively...

Rumor: Return of MegaMan NT Warrior & Star Force Anime Online
Mar 3, 2009 | Mega Man
Recently, I lamented my inability to see the Mega Man Star Force anime, as a result of it being confined to the US-only and now-defunct Toonami Jetstream website, with the DVDs only being available in Europe's Region 2. However, it seems that there may still be hope...

When is a Commercial Not a Commercial?
Feb 28, 2009 | Mega Man
Possibly when Germany has an ad for Mega Man 4. The only problem here (besides the odd robot interstitials) is that the footage is mostly from Mega Man 2: Oh well. It still beats the "he's called the Blue Bomber because he's BLUE" spots. News Credit: Protodude's...

Feb 27, 2009 | Mega Man
That's right, June. According to Joystiq's recent article covering Nintendo listing several release dates for Wii/DS games, MegaMan Star Force 3 Black Ace and Red Joker are slated for a June release as opposed to the much rumoured August one. While no specific date...

Yet another call out for Legends 3
Feb 26, 2009 | Mega Man
More petitioning to Capcom for Mega Man Legends 3, this time coming from gaming blog Scrawl, where one Sal feels Capcom should be focusing on the sought after continuation instead of other franchise sequels like the recently announced Dead Rising 2 and Lost Planet 2....

So, Just How Much Do You Like Roll Caskett?
Feb 25, 2009 | Mega Man
This would be a picture perfect example of being careful of what you wish for. Or, at least, how you wish for it. I've been clear before that I hope Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop for the Wii would have a Mega Man costume, just as the Xbox 360 version did....

So, Just How Much Do You Like Ciel?
Feb 24, 2009 | Community Developments, Mega Man
Recently uncovered in a Yahoo! Auction is an ultra-rare piece of merchandise in the form of a Rockman/Mega Man Zero telephone card. It features an original picture of Ciel by series artist Toru Nakayama that you are probably not going to find anywhere else (and if you...

Capcom considers more DS titles
Feb 24, 2009 | Mega Man
As reported by Siliconera, Capcom's Q&A conference call for the third quarter of the fiscal year reveals the company is considering more DS titles besides the Ace Attorney game currently in the works. I was a little surprised to realize that, despite the great success...

CoroCoro doesn’t deliver
Feb 14, 2009 | Mega Man
While I haven't seen it for myself, sources tell me that the latest installment of CoroCoro offers no announcement of any new Rockman title; simply just secret boss info and such for Ryuusei no Rockman 3. Furthermore, no such promise is given for the next issue's...

Mega Man Legends Beta… Dialogue?
Feb 11, 2009 | Mega Man
Continuing the recent trend of uncovering old, unused, and changed stuff from the world of Mega Man comes Keiji Dragon's discovery of a YouTube "video" of unused dialogue from Mega Man Legends. I use the term "video" loosely, as it's only text describing the dialogue...

Feb 11, 2009 | Mega Man
A Japanese online shop has some details about the forthcoming Ryuusei no Rockman (Mega Man Star Force) Official Complete Works. Most important, it has a specified release day of April 1st (hopefully not a joke). It will be 176 pages and A4 format, the same jumbo size...

How is Mega Man 9 doing still?
Feb 10, 2009 | Mega Man
I think it's safe to say the enchantment Mega Man 9 held with the gaming world has mostly worn off by now. While its still a fantastic game and all, it's going on five months since it released and numerous other games have filled up the spotlight of current interest....

When is a Beta Not a Beta?
Feb 10, 2009 | Mega Man
When the game is never released, unfortunately. Such was the sad eventuality which befell Mega Man Anniversary Collection, the Game Boy Advance game which had been formerly known as Mega Man Mania before an ironic change to accommodate a celebration it would never be...

What? More Beta Video?
Feb 9, 2009 | Mega Man
Seems like every other day, more and more early footage or screens are being turned up for our favorite games. This time, the honor goes to none other than Rockman DASH 2, or MegaMan Legends 2 if you so prefer. Check out the following video excerpt from this 1999...

The CoroCoro Rockman boss character contest will be coming to a close on February 13th, the Friday after next. If you've still been meaning to enter, it's crunch time now. You'll definitely want at least a week to for it to send, but you should consult your local post...
