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...

Ryuusei no Rockman Official Complete Works details
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?

YouTube User Turns Up Ancient DASH Promo Treasures

Capcom Allows You to Torture Yourself with New Wallpaper

The semiannual World Hobby Fair is kicked off in Japan, starting in Osaka this weekend. Capcom naturally had a booth, and many Rockman festivities were had. These are among some of the events which occurred via an eye witness account. Merchandise Corner: The sale of...
Classic Rockman commercials
I don't mean to sound like a Japanophile or anything, but the commercials Capcom of Japan produces for the Rockman games are so much cooler than the ones we occasionally get in the west. I was always a big Mega Man fan, but if I'd seen these commercials as a kid...
