Dead Rising: Buster All You Can Muster

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

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?

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...

So, Just How Much Do You Like Roll Caskett?

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....

CoroCoro doesn’t deliver

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?

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...
