I’m a Flash Man
Caught this one over on GoNintendo. These songs are more than 20 years apart, but they may have more in common than you think. Give 'em a listen and see for yourself. Of course, there are a few well known cases of Mega Man music sounding like other music from the...
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…
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,...

If you're a resident of North America and Europe, chances are you've happily enjoyed Mega Man 9 so long as you own any of the current gen systems available. But did you know that in Japan, Rockman 9 was only ever released on the Wii? However, this will change in June,...
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)....
