GameSetWatch has a pretty interesting interview with some of the people behind the Rockman 9 Arranged Soundtrack, including Ippo Yamada, Akari Kaida and Ryo Kawakami. Included is discussion on the direction they went with certain arrangements, as well as some talk on...

Awhile back, we reported that Nintendo DS Download Stations across the US (I've not heard anything about this happening in Canada-- please reply if you know a place!) which were offering two rare BattleCards and the chance to BrotherBand with none other than the...

Don't know if any of you make a habit of checking out Capcom's Investor Relations website or not, but if you don't, you may be interested in making an exception this once. The former banner, featuring WarRock/Omega-Xis and Subaru/Geo has now been replaced by the...

It's that time again to judge a game while it's in its prime and determine its success without looking into the long term. According to the Famitsu sales charts, via VGChartz, Ryuusei no Rockman (Mega Man Star Force) 3 sold 65,000 copies its first week of sales,...

According to Play-Asia.com, Capcom will be releasing a Rockman DASH + Rockman DASH 2 Value Pack, both titles for the PSP packaged together, on January 29th. With Play-Asia selling it for $34.90 US, the Japanese price is likely quite inexpensive too. And remember that...

Bear McCreary, composer of music for TV shows such as Eureka, Battlestar Galactica, and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles says he's working with Capcom on a new game, and would love to work on a Mega Man title. According to an entry in his blog, Mega Man 2 is...

Just a little something of interest for you: This was apparently a Japanese magazine ad of some sort (going by the filename) for the 1989 Nintendo Famicom release of Rockman 2, and was scanned from the Feburary 1989 issue of "Beep: Magazine for Game Kids" published in...

411mania.com recently interviewed Minoru Nakai, Producer of Capcom's upcoming Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop and a former member of the team which developed the Rockman DASH/MegaMan Legends and Toron ni Kobun/The Misadventures of Tron Bonne. The interview, which can...

Well what do you know. Only a week after Japan, Mega Man-mania continues on the Wii in North America too. In about 50 minutes from my writing this, Mega Man 3 should become available on the Wii's Virtual Console. Considered the last "good" Mega Man game by some, it...

Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu has weighed in with their score, ranking it 32/40 (all four scorers marked it 8). This is the same score both the first and second entries in the series received. Considering the second didn't wow me as much as the first, I'm wondering...

Gamekyo has a nice quality version of the commercial spot for Ryuusei no Rockman 3. It features animation by Production IG and the theme song is "stellar" by Japanese rock band KCB. Enjoy it, because if they ever advertise it here, it's "because he's blue!" News...

No, this has nothing to do with the election. Rather, it involves a strange bit of, ah, censorship in Mega Man 9. When one enters their name, it seems there is a filtering system in place to prevent colorful language and terms from being used. However, there's one...

According to Nintendo of Japan, Rockman 3 is expected to hit the Wii's Virtual Console service on November 4th. This hopefully means two things. One, that there's a continued interest of classic Mega Man on the Wii. And second, of course, that we'll be seeing Mega Man...

Many fans have been excited to see manga writer/artist Hitoshi Ariga return to the Rockman franchise once again with his cover and interior manga preview for the Rockman 9 Arrange Album. And after the recent Inti Creates event to celebrate the launch of the album,...

If you're reading this post, you probably don't live in Japan. But if you do live in Japan, good news for you. Nintendo will start offering a Ryuusei no Rockman 3 trial version at DS Stations on October 30th. The demo will purportedly let players experience the...

Something awesome this way comes, if you have MegaMan Star Force 2 and access to a Nintendo DS Download station, that is. At participating stores, players will be able to BrotherBand with none other than the original Mega Man, aka "1stMegaMan," in all of his 8-bit...

Are you ready for a CHALLENGE?? New Mega Man 9 downloadable content is hitting this week, starting with the Wii today. Capcom heard a couple of you who said that Mega Man 9 isn't really that hard at all, so they hope to rectify that. Apparently since the technology to...

Late last night GameSpot posted an interview with MM9's producer Hironobu Takeshita concerning the upcoming special stage and some interesting elements about the game's development. The special stage, which releases next week, is designed to be especially challenging...
