Bringing Mega Man home again.

Let your voice be heard!

It’s been a while since we heard about the forthcoming release of Rockman Dystopia, a concept album of hard rock and techno designed to reflect the darker atmosphere of the Rockman X series versus its lighter Classic-based counterpart in Rockman Utopia. But now, at the dawning of a new year, we have new info to share as well.

It was one month ago to the day that we brought you word of a pair of interesting soundtracks Capcom of Japan, in cooperation with Basiscape, will be releasing on January 14th, 2015. Today, some new information has come forth, thanks to a tip from our friendly neighborhood Heat Man.

Capcom of Japan is currently at work on two new arranged “concept” albums to be released in 2015, featuring songs from both the classic Rockman and X series.

We’ve been pretty fortunate in the amount of Mega Man soundtracks and other merchandise that have been coming out in the past couple months – and months to come. Well, if you live in Japan at least. And Capcom of Japan is primed to give more. A new entry on their site’s Q&A basically asks […]

Last month, we reported the curious though otherwise unassuming story of Capcom registering a new trademark for “MEGA MAN” back in August. Now it seems that Capcom of Japan is following suit, having just registered the term “ROCKMAN” (in all Roman letters, and not in Japanese characters) among other reported trademarks.

It’s certainly not my intention to stir up any alarm with posting on this, but the fact is Rockman DASH 3 has been dropped from Capcom of Japan’s front page. I wouldn’t necessarily even worry myself about something like this, save for a few months back the same thing occurred with Mega Man Universe. A […]

Was waiting out for the Capcom Unity Devroom to update on this, but being E3 and all posting is naturally behind. Greg has also been spending a ton of time dishing out his moves at the Let’s Dance 3 exhibition. Today (well technically yesterday) fans celebrate “Rockman Day.” It falls on June 9th because of […]

It’s been about six weeks now, with the vote having begun back on April 1st. But voting is done and the results are finally in. 6,602 total votes were received, and now as promised Ucchy-san delivers us the results. The top three most desired characters to be turned into figures are… 1st place: Zero (MMX […]

You may recall that at the beginning of the month, Capcom of Japan opened a poll for fans to pick characters they’d like to see as the focus of figures and collectables yet to come. The poll is still running until May 10th, but Ucchy-san was allowed to share some initial data so far. In […]
