Tomorrow marks a day of special significance… That’s right, tomorrow marks the first anniversary of the release of Mega Man 9 on WiiWare, which was followed shortly thereafter by releases on Xbox LIVE Arcade and the PlayStation Network, respectively. Now normally, we admit that we would probably not bother observing such a date; take into […]

As many of you are no doubt already aware, it seems that one of Konami’s worst-kept secrets of late is their plan to bring a new Castlevania title to WiiWare. The ESRB posted the info before Konami was able to make an announcement (and, as of this writing, they have still yet to say anything), […]

Recently, Nintendo has updated the Wii’s “Nintendo Channel” with a new layout and new features. One such feature is the ability to make recommendations for DS titles.

“Energize Your Excitement.” “Mega Man 3. Anything else you need to know?” “Help Mega Man turn Proto Man into spare parts.” These were just some of the slogans which Capcom used in the magazine ads for their games way back in the day, for title such as Mega Man, Mega Man 3, and Mega Man […]

As many of you are no doubt already aware, today marks the tenth anniversary of the North American launch of the Dreamcast, SEGA’s final (and some might even say greatest) console.

Capcom has finally announced some of the items they will be selling at their booth at this year’s Penny Arcade Expo (PAX). Though there are only two Mega Man items (both of which are keychains) listed currently, there is a rather vague listing of other types of things that will be available that could very […]

I saw this on the Capcom*Unity forums a couple of weeks ago, and didn’t really think much of it; it seemed like the same ol’, same ol’ to me. But since it seems to be picking up and spreading, I figured I might as well share it with you all. User “John Rambo” put the […]

We’ve heard Mega Man creator discuss how Mega Man 3 is one of his least-favorite games in the series, due mainly to the team’s inability to do everything with it that they had hoped before the product had to ship. Nonetheless, development of the title still saw some interesting changes from its early stages to […]

A question and answer panel with Capcom happened at this year’s Comic Con. A young lad spoke for all of us when he asked, “What’s next for Mega Man?” Though Capcom originally tried to direct the child’s attention to Mega Man Star Force 3, Seth Killian decided to step up to the plate when it […]

Has the final Mega Man 9 secret been discovered? Probably not, but this is a pretty neat Easter Egg nonetheless. First, observe the following screenshot from Mega Man 9.
