Title Music & Stage Select Music Mega Man 5 gives us a somewhat lackluster intro compared to the last one, this time using Proto Man as Wily’s new scapegoat. The Robot Master selection is as ridiculous as always, and Mega Man gets a spot on the screen again. Unfortunately his eyes don’t follow the cursor […]

And the treats just keep on coming, but I think we all expected this one. Following the release of Street Fighter X Mega Man, Capcom Unity announces that they will be releasing Mega Man through Mega Man 6 on the Nintendo 3DS eShop in North America. You guys have been demanding these for months, I […]

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 Mega Man 5, a game that makes up for its lack of innovation with “Nintendo Hard” difficulty. While Mega Man […]

Owners of the 3DS in Japan will be able to download Rockman 5 next week on the 15th. Naturally the game will run ¥500. Given the rate that these games have been coming out, not to mention recent word of Capcom of America’s own ambitions, it seems all but certain that Rockman 6 will be […]

While the August 2012 issue of Nintendo Power won’t be reaching newsstands and other fine purveyors of quality print publications until August 7th, subscribers (such as ourselves) are already getting their hands on it through the mail. So, what does this edition have in store for Mega Man fans? No game announcements; sorry if that’s […]

Continuing their monthly 2012 tradition of counting down to the 25th anniversary of the Blue Bomber by playing through all of the Classic series games, Capcom Unity will be playing through Mega Man 5 for the month of May this Friday the 18th. Tune in to Twitch TV for all the fun at… er, sometime […]

Nintendolife reports that Mega Man 5 will be hitting the Wii Virtual Console this Thursday, March 29th.  The NES classic that introduced us to Beat, the Super Arrow and that weird Rush Coil variation will cost 500 Wii Points. While we wait on both sides of the Atlantic for news from Capcom regarding re-releasing more […]

In a curiously sudden announcement, both Ucchy-san of Rockman Unity and Capcom Retro Games announced over Twitter that Rockman 5: Blues’ Trap!? will be available on PSN in Japan today, starting this evening. There was no prior announcement to the game being released, as far as I can recall. Hopefully this makes its way over […]

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 […]

Not sure about Europe, but in North America today you can power up your Nintendo Wii, jump on the Wii Shop and grab Mega Man 5 for 500 Wii Points. I’m going to be charitable today, and while Mega Man 5 isn’t one of my favorites (far from it), it’s still a pretty darn good […]

We North American fans can rejoice today, because the SNES classic Mega Man X is finally arriving on the Wii’s Virtual Console according to Nintendo. This has been long overdue I think, as Mega Man X is not just a fantastic Mega Man game, but definitely one of the best ever SNES games, period. If, […]

It’s been six months of the Megacast, can you believe it? Half a year! They said it wouldn’t last. I said it wouldn’t last! But here we are. In this very serendipitous episode, the Megacast crew (sans Andy) welcome special guest, UDON Entertainment’s managing editor, Matt Moylan. Matt gives us the lowdown about various upcoming […]
