Mega Man

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...

Samples at any rate. TEAM Entertainment has put up a couple samples for the fourth and final Rockman album they're publishing: the Rockman 20th anniversary techno arrange album. The samples are ElecMan's theme and the first Dr. Wily stage music from MM2 (a song that...

Keeping the news coming with the Team Entertainment music, another sample has been added! A boss theme medley sample has been added to the track listing, and it's pretty fresh, if you ask me. We'll keep you updated with more samples as they come. /GX

Here's a quick list of some additional facts and announcements from the Rockman 20th anniversary event in Japan, some of them interesting and some of them a little random. On Nov. 22nd, when Ryuusei no Rockman 2 releases, Capcom will open a Misora Hibiki (Sonia...

Want a new Mega Man series? Make more fan-music. The little guy hardly looks like he's going on 20. This past weekend held the Rockman 20th anniversary event in Tokyo, Japan. The event was seemingly met with a large reception, as people hustled in to play a variety of...
