As part of our celebration of the Mega Man series hitting its 25th anniversary, we are featuring a look back at many of the games of the Classic series. For this entry, I’ll be looking at Mega Man 4, a game that receives much criticism for both trying new things and for making the Mega […]

It’s another month, and another classic Rockman title coming to the Nintendo 3DS in Japan. This time it’s Rockman 4: A New Ambition!!, arriving next week the 17th, for the usual ¥500. I’m stoked for this one as I love Rockman 4 – the music is excellent! (If you disagree, you are wrong.) I feel […]

I don’t care much for ROM hacks. The vast majority of them just take a game and make it more frustrating, and I’ve found this is especially true of the Mega Man games.

Of course, there is only one legitimate Rockman 4 cartridge on sale, which has been moved to Super Potato’s most recently opened Osaka store. The fabled cart, one of only eight in the world and awarded to the Rockman 4 boss contest winners, used to run for ¥590,000. Back in 2007 (when we interviewed a […]

Over the years, we have seen a pretty decent number of representations of Mega Man in plastic form, be they action figures or model kits, from every single series to bear the name “Mega Man.” All said, though there are still many characters we would like to see who have not gotten the plastic treatment, […]

Approximately one year ago, James “The Angry Video Game Nerd” Rolfe took a look at a number of glitches found across a number of classic (and not-so classic) games, including some titles from the Mega Man series (and if you missed that, you can find out more here). Since then, Rolfe’s friend Mike (whose full […]

Did you like Mega Man 10’s ability to let you change weapons on the fly, without having to go to the menu screen? Personally I tended to get messed up by it, and I always seemed to go in the direction that would take longest to get to the weapon I wanted. Nevertheless, the speedy […]

A new Rockman Online update has gone live on the game’s official blog, and appears to be a message coming to us from the navigator Layer, who is now sporting the same style previously seen on Alia. As for the actual text, it’s in Korean. And unfortunately, there is no one currently around to work […]
