While it would seem that we’ve seen Japanese commercials for nearly every Rockman game under the sun, with each featuring original animation (if only the Mega Man titles received that same love), one* has remained conspicuous by its absence: Rockman 6. However, that would no longer seem to be the case, as only hours ago, […]

If you’ve been following the Mega Man 10 art contests at the Capcom Unity, then you know that they have nearly reached the end of the road with the judging for Solar Man, which runs through the weekend, if I’m not mistaken. But just because they’ve run out of Robot Masters for fans to render […]

If there is one thing that the original Mega Man games for the Nintendo Entertainment System did not get a lot of around these parts (i.e. North America), it is some televised commercial love. Sure, there was that secret agent ad for Mega Man 3, and Mega Man 6 was squeezed in alongside the top-loading […]

There is plenty of excitement surrounding the release of Mega Man 10 on WiiWare today, with subsequent releases to come on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. And while Capcom and Nintendo have both proudly announced the game’s availability to anyone with a Wii and a wifi connection, they kept mum about something many of […]

There has been a lot of toy news on the Mega Man front recently, and we’re just going to lump everything into one big mega post here to help catch things up, okay? First, we remember that Capcom put out a call to we the fandom about the Mega Man Kubrick figures, and it looks […]

We all like Mega Man here, or as he’s known in Japan, “Rockman.” Or at least, one would think so; if not, we can only assume that this is your first time experiencing the wide world of the Blue Bomber, so we welcome you and hope you’ll enjoy your stay. Now, where was I? Ah, […]

As promised, Capcom has come through with the second batch of questions for Mega Man mastermind Keiji Inafune, as posed by members of the Capcom Unity. 6) Snppls asks: What is your stance on fan made material?
