Previously, I covered the concepts that made the Mega Man Classic series fun. This week, I narrow down the one pivotal game that changed that series and set it on a new direction. While Mega Man 2 introduced and refined a few overarching concepts that became series staples, it was Mega Man IV for the Game Boy […]

A Mega Man X Video Short
Andrew Goodwin of the band “Awake! Awake!” passed along to us the following video, which he and his friend Olan Rogers recently completed. Most of us are familiar by now with the opening text of the first Mega Man X game, but did you ever wonder what sort of tests Dr. Light ran while X […]

Undamned has passed along a couple of links to us for some of his recent YouTube videos. The first one features a look at the Rockman DASH 2 and Namco X Capcom “SR” (Super Real) figures from Yujin; check it out: A gallery of the Rockman DASH 2 set can be seen here, with a […]

We just wanted to make a post to let you all know that this year, we aren’t making with the April Fool’s jokes. Don’t get us wrong, though, as we had ideas. Oh, did we ever have ideas. But based on reactions in the past and taking into account what the past year has been […]

With Copy Mega Man out of the way, Wily Stage 3 is next. Stage 3 starts you right under a Suzy, and rest of this section is a series of drops with Suzys and Mambus. The second screen isn’t dangerous, but the Suzys in the third start moving right away, so you have to react […]

It’s been a full year since the cancellation of Mega Man Universe. It happened to be on my birthday too, making it just a little more special! Anyway, as much as I’ve racked my brain, I don’t have much insightful to say on the matter. Some say this marked the beginning of Mega Man’s downfall, […]

If there is one thing we’ve learned from running articles about Mega Man-ish science showing up in real life, it’s that most Mega Man fans really don’t care. A lesson well-learned, and we’ve held up a pretty good streak of not informing you how close to the robot apocalypse you really are. But, that streak […]

Mega Man X, Zero, Axl, and even Vile have all seen their share of figures and merchandise released sporting their names and visage (Vile’s upcoming D-Arts being his third figure, at that). But when it comes to being immortalized in plastic, it seems that Sigma most often comes up short– especially considering he’s the series’ […]

Recently, some of IGN’s staff had an opportunity to meet real-life Mega Man father-figure Keiji Inafune. Naturally, they did what many of us have wanted to do over the years… Unfortunately for them, it seems they forgot that Inafune no longer has anything to do with the Mega Man series, though he’ll clearly pretend if […]

After the defeat of the Yellow Devil, it’s on to Wily Stage 2. Stage 2 puts you in front of a gap with a Heli flying over it. Two more appear when you get to the edge, so it’s best to wait for the second one to come to you before jumping. Not bad, but […]

We would just like to take this opportunity to congratulate the Facebook group 100,000 Strong for Mega Man Legends 3 (aka “Get Me Off the Moon”) on reaching a new milestone today. For a while, it seemed that the numbers had slowed down a bit after they reached the 50,000 mark. But recently, they have […]
