Yesterday, we learned a little about the gang of “Bright Bats” who will be in Mega Man Legends 3. Namely, they clearly are not very well-liked by the local law enforcement authority of Teomo City, and perhaps least of all by the police chief, who is the father of Bright Bats member Aero! And in […]

Next week will see the launch of the long-awaited eShop for the Nintendo 3DS, and while Mega Man Legends 3: Prototype Version has been delayed so that its release no long coincides with that of the online store, that doesn’t mean there won’t be any Blue Bomber fun to be had on launch day. Or […]

The new issue of Nintendo Power arrived in the mail yesterday, and as those of you who have seen the Sonic Generations-adorned cover know, it also contains something about Mega Man Legends 3 within, as well. We didn’t expect there to be much new information within, given the general transparency of the development process via […]

Keiji Inafune, the man who oversaw the development of Mega Man for many years, has popped up in the news once again. And while some may feel he is no longer relevant to Mega Man because he is no longer at Capcom, we disagree. Following his departure, he has talked openly about his time at […]

By now, we all know that Mega Man Universe, a downloadable title initiated by former Capcom executive Keiji Inafune, was given the axe earlier this year. Whether for or against it, many of those who followed the game felt that the project’s cancellation could perhaps be largely attributed to one factor more than any other: […]

Over at the Mega Man Legends 3 Project Devroom, Kinako has made an update pertaining to the news regarding the Mega Man Legends 3: Prototype Version delay we reported on just earlier. She notes that “The nature of games development is that sudden changes are prone to occur at any time, one after another,” adding […]

Okay, so maybe it’s not the end of the world, but Mega Man Legends fans may treat it that way just the same after they catch wind of today’s news. It seems that no Legends title is safe, whether they’ve been released or not. First, there is the matter of a PlayStation Network re-release of […]

This isn’t strictly Mega Man-related, but given who it focuses on and what he is talking about, we figured the relevance was enough that you might be interested. Keiji Inafune, former Capcom employee of 24 years and who is often hailed as the “Father of Mega Man,” recently addressed Kyoto’s Ritsumeikan University’s film school students […]

Fan participation in the creative process is nothing new to Capcom, as fans have been helping design Robot Masters and NetNavis for years. But with the rise of the Mega Man Legends 3 Project and Devroom, which allows fans and users to interact with the developers and participate in the creative process for the game […]

Last month, Siliconera ran an article with some talk from Capcom’s Seth Killian, admitting that some people internal to Capcom of Japan didn’t view Mega Man as being especially popular in the U.S. Since then, a thread at Capcom Unity was opened on the matter and both Christian Svensson and Seth Killian have elaborated further. […]

Protodude has managed to track down the last Mega Man commercial aired in the United States. Thankfully, it’s not the “He’s Called the Blue Bomber… Because He’s Blue!” one. Oh, Mom… (Really, that reminds me a bit of growing up.) TMMN Staff

Our final stop on our trip back through Mega Man‘s adventures into the North American mainstream comes not from the United States, but Canada, and a small comic book company once known as Dreamwave. Though Archie’s first issue of Mega Man will be available in comic shops next week, this will not be the first […]
