Air Man’s Stage and music. This is Goblin. He appears as you approach and acts as a platform, though he has retractable horns to make using him as such difficult, and will produce Mini Goblins whenever Mega Man is above him. (It’s a mouth.) (It’s a...Rockman 2 Poster Returns from the Past
Going through some photos, I happened across this one I took at a used game store somewhere in Osaka. It’s a promotional flyer for Rockman 2, back before the game came out. Sadly it’s not a real poster, but a print out from a scan or photo (but I might ask for a copy all […]

Flash Man’s Stage and music. This stage takes the split paths idea and cranks it to 11. The first two screens have nothing going on in them, but that’s actually a good move, since the entire level is slippery and it gives the player a chance to realize...A Critical Look at Mega Man 2 Stages: Quick Man

Quick Man’s Stage and music. I’ve been sitting here wondering what to say about the first screen, and it occurred to me that the life there wasn’t only a reward for having one of the items and a warning about the level’s difficulty, but...Powerglove Goes to Japan with Mega– er, Rockman
With but one small exception, we haven’t said much about the speed metal group Powerglove. It hasn’t been by design or anything, merely circumstance. However, today brings a little bit of news to help us change that. LanceHeartlocalhost/tmmn

Bubble Man’s Stage and music Our first threat here is Kerog, who immediately spits three baby robot frogs at us. These move only by jumping in high arcs, and Kerog itself does nothing except spit more out if you kill them all. The great thing about this setup is...1UP’s “What If?” Week Looks at Hypothetical Mega Man Scenarios
Over the past week, 1UP has run a series of themed articles under the common theme of “What If?: Gaming’s Alternate Realities.” In these hypothetical situations, we get an idea of how the video game industry might have been different had it not been for certain influential factors and events taking place. Naturally, as you’ve […]

The curious licensed Famicom album Zoku Fami Compi is out today in Japan. As we reported before, it’s the second CD in a series of arrangements from various Famicom (NES) games. Given the interests of viewers to this site, I thought it relevant to let you hear the album’s tracks from Rockman and Rockman 2. […]
