Mega Man Marathon is Happening Now!

Capcom’s Christian Svensson Assures that Xover “Isn’t All”

It’s a fact a lot of people have been disappointed in Rockman Xover – I can’t even say I’m excited about it myself, though I’m waiting to see its details. Still, some of you nutty nuts immediately assumed that this would be the only thing commemorating Mega Man‘s 25th, and that Mega Man is dead, […]

1UP Examines the Mega Man Community

This week’s cover story over at 1UP is about “Community in Games,” and kicking things off is a feature by Nadia Oxford which focuses on the Mega Man community, noting that the Blue Bomber has “fallen on hard times, but that’s only brought the remnants of the community closer together.” “Mega Man: A Community with […]

Start Singing the Blues with This Battle Network Remix

Hey, who remembers Mega Man Battle Network? Psyguy does, and he’s created a remix of the theme for ProtoMan.EXE (aka Blues.EXE) from the series (or Rockman.EXE 4.5: Real Operation, at least), and you can give it a listen over on Newgrounds. Of course, since it’s basically a remix of Proto Man’s theme from the Classic […]

VGMM Checks Out More Mega Man Merchandise

Our buddy Nightram, curator for the Video Game Memorabilia Museum, is back with a new batch of recently-acquired Mega Man goodies (and a cool shirt, we might add). Among the items shown are keychains, cell phone charms, pins, trading cards, patches, cloth helmets, and plush Busters. Pretty cool stuff all around, but who else is […]

What Do Our Far East Friends Think of Xover?

When Rockman Xover was announced about a couple weeks back, reactions to the news were… not terribly positive, to put it lightly. Not only fans, but even writers at gaming news sites like Destructoid and Kotaku put the game to shame. While little may be known about Xover so far, it’s clear it’s going to […]

Dorkly: Leaked Memos Explain Early Mega Man Box Art Designs

If there is any part of Mega Man which is sure to outlive the franchise itself, it would be the notoriety of the original series’ earliest box art. But how did such design decisions ever come to pass? Why is Mega Man sporting a Tron-esque outfit and handgun on the original? Why is he breaking […]

Happy Birthday to Hitoshi Ariga

Today marks the birthday of Mr. Hitoshi Ariga, and we just wanted to wish him the happiest one he could possibly have (and maybe a job working for Capcom heading up the Mega Man brand). For those who have been living under one of Guts Man’s rocks, or are simply fresh off the assembly line, […]

Looking Back: Nintendo Power Covers Mega Man

Yesterday, news broke that Nintendo Power magazine will soon be ending its nearly 25-year run as a print magazine, though there is some hope that it may continue as an online presence. When it comes to print magazines, Mega Man could not have asked for a better friend than Nintendo Power. Certainly, other magazines would […]
