Tag: Dr. Wily

In Asakusa, Tokyo, there is a theme park named Hanayashiki that will be holding a special Rockman-themed event “Rockman: The Schemed for Hanayashiki!?” And wow, does it sound like fun!

The Dr. Wily Stage 1 theme from Mega Man 2, like you’ve never heard it before…

Too many news tips, too little time. What’s one to do? Call the Ripot-man, of course!

So here is something that recently popped up from Game Theory and has been making the rounds: A new video which proposes that the true villain of Mega Man is not Dr. Wily, but is in fact *gasp* Dr. Light!

Smooth McGroove is a name who has been making the internet rounds with
his combination of prolific facial hair, dancing black cats, and above
all else, his a cappella versions of some of the most memorable tracks
in video gaming. This time, he sets his sights on one of the more iconic
tracks from Mega Man X, the soaring Storm Eagle stage theme.

Wow… there are really no words to describe this, save for maybe “he really wasn’t kidding!” We all likely knew that this was coming, but to see it before our very own eyes… it’s simply perfect. Just so very, very perfect. Admit it: This may very well be the very best cover for either blue […]

We’ve been getting a lot of interesting genre albums of classic Famicom music lately. First that was Zoku Fami Compi with its house style arrangements. Then sound got loud with the Japan release of Powerglove’s Video Game Metal. But recently things have mellowed again, with the release of Tariki Echo’s Fami Reggae. As you would […]

I doubt a lot of you know much about Japanese pro wrestling – I certainly don’t.

Kenny’s character gimmick is that he’s a big gamer and otaku, and even performs a […]

You’ll recall sometime back of the interesting buzz surrounding the movie Wreck-It Ralph, featuring a host of video game villain cameos, including, apparently, Dr. Wily. However, in the newly released trailer for the movie, Wily appears to be replaced by… generic ninja guy? I don’t know, perhaps he’s just too short to be seen among […]

Some very sad news form the world of voice acting today. Seasoned voice actor Takeshi Aono passed away the other day at the age of 76, resulting from an aneurism. Aono had numerous roles over the years in dramas, games, anime and dubbing for foreign films, but the role most well known to us would […]

Over on Capcom Unity, DJay has made a post informing us that the Capcom Store will be rolling out three brand-new exclusive Mega Man t-shirts in the coming weeks. And apparently, the above image of Dr. Wily is a sneak peek at what one of them will look like. What do you hope to see […]

Mega Man may have his helmet hanged up right now, but that hasn’t stopped Dr. Wily from getting a little work. A photo from Disney’s D23 Magazine, in an article about the film Wreck-It Ralph, shows Dr. Wily among other known game villains (well, was Zangief really ever a villain?), participating with lead character Ralph […]
