Solicitations for Mega Man #6 and TPB Volume 1
When we saw the solicitation for Archie's Mega Man #5, we learned a little more of what we could expect from the comic outside the confines of the games' stories. Today, we have not one, but two new covers to share with you. Well, sort of. The first is the cover for...

Since last year, Inti Creates' Ippo Yamada has been organizing live performances called Live Communitcated Rockman where he and other artists setup and perform Mega Man music from games developed by Inti Creates, especially Mega Man Zero. To catch the act, you'd...
Mega Man Legends Mii
We may have gotten a setback with the Prototype Version, but art director Ishihara-san did find one novel way of getting Mega Man Legends onto the 3DS. "Sorry MegaMan! I had to sell all of your equipment. Again!" Yep, Mega Man Legends themed Miis. I'm a little...

Mega Man 5 Lands on Virtual Console Today
Not sure about Europe, but in North America today you can power up your Nintendo Wii, jump on the Wii Shop and grab Mega Man 5 for 500 Wii Points. I'm going to be charitable today, and while Mega Man 5 isn't one of my favorites (far from it), it's still a pretty darn...

Looking at MML3’s Absence from E3
Having just gotten back from E3, and my trip to California in general, I had a lot of fun but can't help feeling a little disappointment Mega Man Legends 3 wasn't present. The game, at least its Prototype Version, has been in a playable form for some time now, and...

Happy Rockman Day to You
Was waiting out for the Capcom Unity Devroom to update on this, but being E3 and all posting is naturally behind. Greg has also been spending a ton of time dishing out his moves at the Let's Dance 3 exhibition. Today (well technically yesterday) fans celebrate...
Kotobukiya Zero Gets Some Much Needed Color
He has been looking a bit pale after all. Today on "Rockman Day" in Japan, Kotobukiya has revealed photos and details of the finished, full color Zero model kit from Mega Man Zero. Accessory-wise, Zero comes with the Z-Saber, the Buster Gun and the Z-Knuckle. He also...
In Mega Man Legends 3, Everything is Relative

New Devroom Event: Meet the Bright Bats and Design Their Mascot!
Yesterday, we learned a little about the gang of "Bright Bats" who will be in Mega Man Legends 3. Namely, they clearly are not very well-liked by the local law enforcement authority of Teomo City, and perhaps least of all by the police chief, who is the father of...
Rockman World Returns with the Launch of the Nintendo 3DS eShop in Japan (Updated)
Next week will see the launch of the long-awaited eShop for the Nintendo 3DS, and while Mega Man Legends 3: Prototype Version has been delayed so that its release no long coincides with that of the online store, that doesn't mean there won't be any Blue Bomber fun to...

Keiji Inafune, the man who oversaw the development of Mega Man for many years, has popped up in the news once again. And while some may feel he is no longer relevant to Mega Man because he is no longer at Capcom, we disagree. Following his departure, he has talked...
