Looking back at the Waves of Change which took over from Mega Man Battle Network.

(Just past) Time to ROCK On!

Capcom Unity has released the track list for their second upcoming Mega Man  anniversary album: “MM25: Mega Man Rocks.” This album features songs old and new by  Mega Man  and gaming tribute bands. What’s more, you can have a listen to some samples, too.

Here is a Capcom 30th anniversary wallpaper featuring a host of characters done up in 8-bit Mega Man style. This was given out to those who registered to the newly opened Capcom moble site, My Capcom. But outside of Japan, you can get the wallpaper just by coming here. Sizes below: 1920 x 1080 (PC) […]

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, […]

Not unlike a comet that flares up in the sky as it makes its approach towards the sun along its orbit, today marks the fifth anniversary of the Mega Man Star Force series, which first released in Japan on December 14th, 2006. Truth be told, I don’t expect too many to pay homage to this […]

Earlier this year, Mega Man Battle Network turned ten (and made us all feel a little bit older). Now on 1Up, writer Jeremy Parish has a feature running commemorating the series, with a focus on how it saved Mega Man, if at least for a time. I don’t know if I agree with all of […]

Earlier this year, Mega Man Battle Network turned ten, but that doesn’t mean there’s no room for another anniversary (and they tend to group up like this). On July 6th, 2006, in the country of Japan, Inti Creates’ followup to the Zero series came into the world on the Nintendo DS. Five years later, however, its […]

When I think of Mega Man Battle Network, it still seems like a pretty new series to me. But the original title released in Japan on March 21st, 2001. And as the day has just turned over to the 21st in Japan, that makes Battle Network a whopping 10 years old. This makes me feel […]

Though it’s been the 17th in Japan for sometime now, Mega Man is officially 23 today. Culturally, I guess there’s nothing real significant about age 23, but this 23rd year for Mega Man has been anything but dull. First, the games. Even though they seem like such a long time ago, we did get a […]

During the short but remarkable run of the Mega Man Legends series, Capcom took a break between the two major titles to release a curious game focusing on a series antagonist instead of a protagonist. 10 years ago, on July 22nd, 1999, that game released in Japan as Tron ni Kobun, but we know it […]

Sure this really has nothing to do with Mega Man, but the Game Boy is a legendary handheld gaming system, and Mega Man V for Game Boy is probably one of my favorite Mega Man times of all time. To be honest, with all the 20th and even 25th anniversaries that have been going on […]
