The Primordial Mega Man Legends

As we noted in our 23rd anniversary post, while the 17th of December marks birthdays for Mega Man and Mega Man X, the 18th of December is the birthday of Mega Man Legends. Of course, 13 is also not much of an age for celebration, but with Mega Man Legends 3 in development, it’s quite […]

Frost Man’s Stage Theme – Beta Version

If you’ve played Mega Man 8, then you’re probably only too familiar with the theme music from Frost Man’s stage… particularly if you weren’t very good at the infamous “Jump! Jump! Slide!

When is a Beta Not a Beta?

When the game is never released, unfortunately. Such was the sad eventuality which befell Mega Man Anniversary Collection, the Game Boy Advance game which had been formerly known as Mega Man Mania before an ironic change to accommodate a celebration it would never be a part of.
