Yeah, we’re a little late with this one, but it’s worth talking about just the same.

The […]

Back when Mega Man Legends 3 was suddenly canceled, there was some talk about those who had contributed to the Devroom and had their submissions selected for inclusion in the game receiving special mementos of gratitude from the development staff for their efforts. And darn if I can’t seem to find where that was said, […]

During a recent video session of Ask Capcom, Senior Vice President Christian Svensson provided the following answer to one question that has been on many a Blue Bomber fan’s mind: “Is Mega Man dead?” “Oh, absolutely not,” he responded. “The frustrating thing for me is I have nothing I can hold up and say, ‘Oh, […]

Today Kotaku posted their inquiry to Capcom’s take on the efforts thus far of fans rallying for Capcom to restart development of Mega Man Legends 3. Naturally, some would find the response Capcom had a bit disheartening. “We are aware of the fan created Facebook page requesting that we resume development of Mega Man Legends […]

Following the accusations of Capcom throwing anyone with even the slightest hint of Blue Bomber in their blood out of the San Diego Comic-Con, new charges have been levied against the company. The latest mud slung at Capcom have positioned them as the author of a cease and desist order against popular Mega Man-inspired rock-opera […]

If you’ve been following our Twitter feed, you’ve no doubt noticed that a lot of serious allegations were hurled at Capcom during the San Diego Comic-Con, chief among them that they were having security remove Mega Man cosplayers, or even those who so much as uttered the words “Mega Man.” These claims were fantastic (please […]
