Mega Man

According to the Capcom-Unity blog, the Mega Man franchise has marked its place in the 2008 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records as having the most games in one series. 'Course, this could be taken as an accomplishment or perhaps as a discouragement,...

Get 'em while you can! If you're a late adopter of the PSP, perhaps of the newer, more slimlined model, you might not have gotten around to picking up such treasures as Mega Man Powered Up and Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X. Of course, if that's the case, we would ask...

Inti Creates has put up another sample for ZX Gigamix, the Battle Giga Mixture track. Sounds a little like Devo. There's another update planned for next week, but by that point the album should be released.

Capcom of Japan has opened a teaser site for Ryuusei no Rockman 3 (Mega Man Star Force 3), which wastes no time in getting serious with the message "The future of this planet is now up to them." A following message in Japanese states "2008. Noise will conceal the...

According to Ippo Yamada, the sound sketches on ZX Gigamix are simply listening to sound. "For example," he explains, "when you listen carefully in a room that seems silent, you can hear all sorts of sounds like the hum of appliances, the tick of a clock and the...

I haven't seen this myself so far, but word has it that a Ryuusei no Rockman boss character contest has begun in the latest issue of CoroCoro Comics, which would seem to indicate that a third title (and however many versions of it) is in the works. Somewhat sadly,...

Those of you interested in the ZX Gigamix soundtrack coming the end of this month can take a gander at the track list today in the first of Inti's major updates about the album. If you're familiar with ZX and ZXA Tunes you should have no trouble identifying what songs...

As some people have often mentioned, Capcom of America tends to...cut things out of North American releases of Mega Man titles. Voice acting, E Reader Cards, entire Network Maps, Boktai cameos (although this one couldn't be helped in the case of BN6...) and much, much...

A few days ago on a little something called April Fools, Inti Creates advertised an upcoming product known as the Rockman ZX Soundsketch: ZX Gigamix. Pricing it at three billion yen, they were clearly trying to take advantage of the weak US dollar. But today Gigamix...

The announcement of Gamer's Day not happening this year -or ever again- was confirmed by Chris "Kramez" Kramer on the Capcom Unity blog. In its place, a new event called CAPTIVATE08 will be Capcom's new media event, currently scheduled for the end of May and all of...

Would have missed this one if not for a friend. If you've been keeping track, R20 Rockman & Rockman X Official Complete Works comes out in Japan next week. We've talked about it a bit here, but sometimes talk is cheap. Earlier this month Japanese gaming news site...

In a online press event, Capcom Digital Day, Capcom announced the coming of the Western adaption of Ryuusei no Rockman 2 - Mega Man Star Force 2: Zerker x Saurian and Zerker x Ninja. I guess terms like Berserk and Dinosaur didn't have enough street cred. The game's...

Did you want to celebrate Rockman's 20th anniversary by splurging cash but were stricken with the unfortunate circumstance of not living anywhere near Japan? Don't have an import store nearby or any connections with Japan savvy people? Well Play-Asia has your back, as...

Capcom's been busy, and considering they're ranked #4 of the top ten game developers in Japan it should be no surprise. As it stands, Capcom's Gamer Day event has been announced for April 12th this year, where they'll gleefully show off what they've got on the burner....

According to various sources, including Ariga himself, "R20 Rockman & Rockman X Complete Works" is officially due to release in Japan the 25th of March. The list price is ¥3,360, with 336 pages in A4 format. Though I doubt there's any need to give a reminder, this...

In a recent post we talked about Ariga's work and to some degree infatuation with the upcoming Rockman & Rockman X Official Complete Works. Near the bottom though was something that was missed, as I assumed Mr. Ariga was just continuing on his tangent. He states:...

I have some good news for you all in regards to a book we've long been waiting for:The MegaMan Zero Complete Works. The last we heard of this book, was Amazon shutting down preorders, stating that maybe the book would be back for preorder in Febuary 2008. Well, here...

Japanese manga artist Hitoshi Ariga is reminding us via his blog about the Rockman & Rockman X Official Complete Works coming this March. Perhaps this is because he's a supervisor of the book's production, and has a hand in the organization, editing, text and so...

Maybe you've heard of Capcom's upcoming Wii title: We Love Golf. Well over at the Capcom blog, you can vote to have Roll Caskett in the game. Ok, not actually Roll but her costume as alternate rags for a new female character. Nevertheless, it's just one more reference...
