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,...

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...

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...
