Behold the One-Man Spark Mandrill Acapella

This is Smooth McGroove, who performs one-man acapella renditions of video game tunes. One man, though he plays eight different parts of the tune in synch, which is still impressive as you listen to his version of Spark Mandrill’s theme from Mega Man X above, which can also be acquired on BandCamp

Game Grumps Lock Their Sights on Mega Man X7

Thanks to a tip from Toastykins, we’re happy to bring to you the latest episode of “Game Grumps,” in which Mega Man X7 is put through its paces by the Scramble-Changing duo of JonTron and Egoraptor (who sort of sounds like a Mega Man X character himself). Do note that the video is NSFW for […]

Brazilian Mega Man Makes Cracked List of Iconic Characters’ Insane Foreign Comic Reboots

A Critical Look at Mega Man 4 Stages: Dr. Cossack Stage 4

Cossack Stage 4 The path to Cossack starts off with some refills, an E-Tank, and a nice view of the night sky. Pakatto and Jumbig are easily dealt with by now, and we’ve already met both in worse situations. TMMN Staff

Inafune Doodles Mega Man at Boss Battle Gallery

With Keiji Inafune recently dropping by San Francisco, it looks like he made his way to the Mega Man Boss Battle art gallery. Not only that, but he was caught doing a little Mega graffiti, too. It’s nice to see how much respect Inafune still has for Mega Man even though he can no longer […]

Use the Washroom with Mega Man

Okay, so maybe that’s not as appealing as it sounds, though Bubble Man’s stage was a good choice of backdrop. From what we can tell, this was made in an otherwise-unknown public restroom. Scroll down to see inside one of the toilet stalls. Source, via Haydn Dalton’s Twitter, by way of Protodude. TMMN Staff

The Harlem Shake, Mega Man-Style?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRWryTQDK4o Are you tired of the Harlem Shake yet? If so, it turns out you’re not the only one. Watch as Dr. Wily discovers it in the 16th of the fad’s 15 minutes of fame; suffice to say, everyone else around is over it. Thanks for the tip, GeminiSparkSP! TMMN Staff

A Critical Look at Mega Man 4 Stages: Dr. Cossack Stage 3

Cossack Stage 3 and Music This stage… is an autoscroller. I’m going to be honest here; no matter what I say about the design, I’m always going to hate this stage because I can’t stand this mechanic in platformers. It does raise tension for newcomers by adding a time limit, but for experienced players or […]
