Today marks the birthday of Mr. Hitoshi Ariga, and we just wanted to wish him the happiest one he could possibly have (and maybe a job working for Capcom heading up the Mega Man brand). For those who have been living under one of Guts Man’s rocks, or are simply fresh off the assembly line, […]

Last year, Hitoshi Ariga mentioned that he was working on a new Mega Man project, but has been pretty silent about it since of course. That’s no reason to think nothing is progressing, though. Granted, I know a lot of you are eager and have been pestering at him about it. As a result, Ariga […]
