Mega Man

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...

We can now say with pretty much certainty that Mega Man's not gonna get into Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Heck, some people in the MM community probably claim they've been saying it with certainty for months now, and a good deal of us were probably somewhat pessimistic....

Cell phone savvy Rockman DASH fans in Japan now have something to be excited over, as Rockman DASH: The Great Five Islands Adventure has begun distribution on all 703i and 903i series phones. The game will be released in four installments over the next month and a...

News sure has been pretty slow as of late. All there's really been are wild, unfounded rumors, and then the stuff that "kind of" has to do with Mega Man. This is one of the latter. Recently in Japan, our man Keiji Inafune announced "Daletto World," a joint effort...

Another curious Rockman game heads to cell phones, and given that I'm using the name Rockman, yes, this is a Japan-only thing. Famitsu is reporting on a new cell phone Rockman game titled "Intuition! Rockman" for 904i and higher series phones. The game actually...

I think a lot of us Mega Man fans have generally been keeping our hopes down about Mega Man being in Nintendo's battle royale specatular: Super Smash Bros. Brawl. With the inclusion of Snake and Sonic, Mega Man would seem the perfect video game icon to jump in on the...

You have to admit that, while some neat events led up to the big day, Mega Man's 20th anniversary passed by with little incident, especially if you don't live in Japan. They at least got a warm message from Keiji and a look at schwag to buy. But now something has come...

This may seem a little premature to you Westerly folks, but it is officially the 17th in Japan and Capcom has already brought out the celebration. By blowing out (clicking on) the candles of the cake, we receive this message of thanks from series father Keiji Inafune:...

Staffer Splashman tells me that Mega Man 2, perhaps the best entry in the series some would consider, is now available on the Wii's Virtual Console in Europe and Australia. This following the original Mega Man, which was released on the VC some months ago. Of course...

What better way for Capcom to promote their swinging new upcoming title, Bionic Commando, than with... Mega Man art?! It's strange and it's true, as the Capcom US blog (aka Capcom*Unity, the best thing they've done with the site since they set foot online) has...

From Advanced Media Network: Rockman Synergy Commons via NeoGAF and C3 News, has come across an interesting tidbit in the form of a purported Retailer List featuring a number of new Capcom games. Among no-brainers such as MegaMan Star Force 2 for the DS and...
