The big announcement for Legends 3 so far is the introduction of a new character named Bullet (baretto). He seemingly will be a playable character, and exhibited the abilities to move quickly and run up walls. Other new characters and mecha were briefly shown as well. More footage is shown of Bullet performing a mission […]

Kotobukiya is prepping another Rockman themed in-store event, the Spring Rock 2011 exhibition, on April 29th. They’ll be selling the usual assort of Rockman model kits and goods, including a limited supply of Mega Man branded kits and badges, for whatever strange reason. I think the big pull, however, will be a display of the […]

Good news, everyone! According to a report from Siliconera, it appears that two Super Nintendo Entertainment System classic titles have been added to the Wii’s Virtual Console release schedule for April in Japan.

Capcom of Japan had been intending to hold the Nintendo 3DS x Capcom Premiere Experience event in Akihabara next week, where players would get their first hands on experience for games like Biohazard Revelations and, of course, Rockman DASH 3.

There is much hustle and bustle within Capcom’s special Mega Man Legends 3 Project Devroom, and between judging contests, reflecting on what once was, pondering what we hope one day will be, and other fun stuff… well, a few things have slipped through the cracks. But fear not! For those of you who have not […]

Capcom of Japan has just announced a new and simplistic keitai game called Rockman Diver for docomo, au and SoftBank branded cell phones. The game seems to be based on Mega Man’s worst nightmare: falling slowly through water down a pit of evilly arranged spikes. Your score is based on how far you manage to […]

Rockman 9 released for purchase on mobile phones in Japan earlier this week, adding to a long list of Rockman games supported by cellularly. And we now know of some features this edition includes.

It’s that time of year again, when people cast a generous eye towards the Penny Arcade charity Child’s Play.

Okay, so this actually has nothing to do with famed former WWE Superstar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, though given the recent announcement of his inclusion in the upcoming Transformers: Prime cartoon as Cliffjumper, it does leave one to wonder what kind of role he might be well-suited for in the world of Mega Man.
