Inafune: “Japan’s Game Industry is Finished”
It appears that this year's Tokyo Game Show did very little to win over Capcom's Head of Research & Development and Online Business, Keiji Inafune. During the following video, he asks the crowd in attendance what they thought of the show this year. "Be honest, " he...
The news article that Bright Man doesn’t want you to read!
I know Bright Man very well. He was the first boss I managed to conquer in Mega Man 4. I don't recall what burned within me to take him down first, but that was my goal. It was fairly easy going, until he unfurled that blasted Flash Stopper. If you were lucky he'd...
Inafune and Bungie: Together at Last?
In news not relating to Mega Man (that we know of), but still of some potential interest to fans of the Blue Bomber is that Capcom's Head of Research & Development and Online Business, Keiji Inafune, recently visited the studios of Bungie, developer of the massively...
Keeping it retro: Game shows from around the world
With this trend of finding retro video game shows to reminisce about, here's something that is sure to please our Canadian visitors (all 20,000 of you). Video & Arcade Top 10 was a long running YTV (Youth Television) show where kids were invited to play games and...
Heat Man terrorizes the UK in Gamesmaster
You have to admit, as cheesy as they were, old videogame shows from the 80s and 90s were way cool. It's a shame that today gaming is much too "sophisticated" for stuff like that (unless you live in Japan, where you have the awesome Game Center CX). One such show from...

Mega Man + Rubik’s Cube = Get equipped with frustration
If you thought the original Mega Man wasn't tough enough already, then try playing it like this! Twiggy over at Capcom*Unity spotted this pretty sweet Rubik's Cube alteration. Being the numskull I am, though, I could definitely beat the game much faster than I could...
A Real-Life Battle Network: Getting Closer?
Those of us who have played the Mega Man Battle Network series usually take some of the series' more fanciful elements in stride, such as everything in the world being connected to the internet. After all, it's just a video game, right? Well, not for Brooklyn resident...
What is Inti Creates up to?
For this decade, which is swiftly coming to a close, Inti Creates has been a major component to the Mega Man franchise. Starting in 2002 they developed the Mega Man Zero series with Capcom and then followed with Mega Man ZX. They were also behind the unexceptionally...
For those of you in Japan…
While cruising the Japanese PlayStation Store from my PS3 earlier, I noticed a curious advertisement about the forthcoming release of Rockman 9... More about this after the jump. It seems there's some sort of "present campaign" as the banner indicates. It's for a...
Capcom promotes MT Framework 2.0
It's probably not a well known fact that the same engine family has powered most Capcom games of the current generation. However, when you hear Keiji Inafune, thoughts instantly run to Mega Man, Onimusha, Dead Rising and Lost Planet. Well, MT Framework has already...
Teen Designs Space City of the Future
Given the presence and impact of the space colony Eurasia in multiple Mega Man games, I felt this might be of some interest to our readers. 17-year old Eric Yam of Toronto, Ontario recently won a NASA grand prize for designing Asten, "a democratic colony far above...
The Horrors of Western Box Art… Halo Style
Some could argue that Mega Man's North American box was the absolute worst Western box art to grace a Japanese game's overseas version. In that vein, Bungie sought to recreate the same horrors with their own top series. GameSpy now has the final product for all to...

With little surprise, the mysterious composer teased in Capcom Unity's April Fool's Day Dark Void joke is none other than huge Mega Man fan Bear McCreary. Best known for his works on the recently ended Battlestar Galactica and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles,...
