by James “GS Edgeman” Riser Mega Man lives in the science fiction universe with the creations of Isaac Asimov, Philip K. Dick, and many others. The Mega Man story may have been inspired by many things, but some very cool parallels can be drawn from the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip […]

Hmm, with all of those R’s in the headline, perhaps I should have said “Rockman” instead. Anyway, a few items of interest hit our Inbox today, and they all involve Mega Man in fighting games. Note that I didn’t specify Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3… but more on that in a minute. The first item […]

One step forward, two steps back. That has more or less been the sentiment among Mega Man fans this year, as we have seen a good push forward with the launch of Archie’s Mega Man comic book coupled with the cancellation of both Mega Man Universe and Mega Man Legends 3. Like them or not, […]

by James “GS Edgeman” Riser Every game has its staples, the constant elements that are carried over from one game to the next. These are the reasons why players will come back to a certain series over and over again. Staples are an odd thing for a game developer to deal with, because it can […]

Granted, this isn’t related to Mega Man Legends, or even Mega Man in the strictest sense, but there is a method to what some may perceive as posting madness. 1UP has debuted a developer localization diary for the upcoming Nintendo DS game Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, as well as republished a Retronauts piece on its […]

Mega Man has had a pretty tough run this year, that much is obvious. What I believe may be less obvious, however, is that the recent cancellations are a symptom of a much more troubling problem that has been deep beneath the Mega Man games for a very long time now: The series is now […]

Since the cancellation of Mega Man Legends 3 was announced, out friend Auto over at MMN affiliate E-Can Factory has made several posts in response to Capcom’s unpleasant actions and handling over the project as a whole. Following are some select posts from the past couple of weeks. Why You Get to Blame The Executives, […]

IGN has posted an article about Mega Man, but it doesn’t seem to be aimed at the likes of you or I. Titled “You Don’t Know Jack About Mega Man,” it sets out to correct the misconceptions held by fans of the original series (and only the original series) that all other branches of the […]

MMN reader Omar has created an essay which looks at why he believes Mega Man Legends 3 was canceled, as well as the possibilities for its return. Mind, he did submit this to us a few days ago, and we have only now been able to post it, so there may be some parts which […]

I have mixed titles just to make a catchy headline, and for that, I apologize. With that out of the way, the newly-crowned 1UP Editor-in-Chief Jeremy Parish has at last resurrected the long-dormant Retronauts classic gaming blog, and has done so by posting an article about one classic game near and dear to many of […]

Comics Alliance has posted a new article, which gives an interesting look at Archie’s new Mega Man comic book, which is already on its way to releasing its third issue. And, if the solicitations are any indication, it is already poised to surpass Dreamwave‘s short-lived attempt at chronicling the schoolboy adventures of Rocky Light. So […]

Beginning tonight, as the clock turns to April 25th (or at about 1am EST– thank Daylight Savings Time for that, I guess), we will begin gearing up for next week’s release of Archie’s Mega Man comic book with a look back at Mega Man’s many appearances in different North American media. Along the way, there […]
