Love for Mega Man is in the air over at Destructoid, which is reason enough for Chris Carter to post what he believes are “The Five Best Mega Man Games.” A solid list, to be sure, and some might even be surprised not only by his number one pick, but also some games which didn’t […]

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 8, (in)famous for succumbing to the late-90s illness of oddly placed and completely unnecessary full motion video. Yes, […]

For the musically-talented among you, we have good news today! Bey-Heart has notified me that the Sheet Music section (easily located in our sidebar under “Multimedia” has been updated! This batch of additions includes sheets for a piano rendition of the theme for Dr. Light’s Lab and a flute version of the Stage Select theme […]

Back at the beginning of the year, we put up a post showcasing the surprisingly huge variety of Rockman 8 goods were available in Japan. These included even child’s room furnishings and school gear. So it’s probably not surprising that even that didn’t cover it all. Here is a Rockman 8 themed trash bin up […]

Watch live video from Capcom-Unity on TwitchTV In case you happened to miss it on the Livestream yesterday, Capcom Unity played their monthly countdown (countup?) to Mega Man‘s 25th anniversary with a session of Mega Man 8 from PAX Prime.

Video contains minor amounts of NSFW language Perhaps you’re familiar with the RiffTrax guys, or (if you’re old enough), the show Mystery Science Theater 3000. For over 20 years Michael Nelson and co. have made an artform from making fun of bad movies, and what’s more have made some truly awful and lame films actually […]

Whether or not this proves games are art will continue to be debated, but it’s good to see Mega Man (0:23), Mega Man X4 (0:59), Mega Man X (1:20) and Mega Man 8 […]

Mega Man 8 released in North America with no more than the usual amount of fanfare. A special edition package came with a small booklet of the series history, and there was also a chance to buy a Mega Man figurine in honor of the Blue Bomber’s 10th anniversary (even though it was still only […]

Been a little while since we’ve heard from Kotobukiya, but don’t worry – they don’t want your money any less. As a reminder that the Kotobukiya brand Roll figure is coming this December, they’ve revealed the kit’s box design, showcasing both Roll’s original and Mega Man 8 costumes all cutesy-like. If you recall, the kits […]

Yep figure fans, I got another tease for you. Amiami’s blog has a new post showing off numerous poses of this December’s Kotobukiya Roll figure, in both her classic and MM8 outfit. You can check out the photos on their blog, but in case you’re at work or something and don’t want the other provocatively […]

Always fun to take a look at games from the developmental stages. Here’s an magazine clipping from an old issue of GameFan, touting Capcom’s 1996 releases.
