Tag: Mega Man Classic

p>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 & Bass, a game that was the chronological last game in the classic series until the end of the hiatus with 2008’s Mega Man 9. Beyond featuring Bass as a playable character, MM&B has a number of innovations and features some of the most difficult levels in the series.

p>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 & Bass, a game that was the chronological last game in the classic series until the end of the hiatus with 2008’s Mega Man 9.

One of our readers,
OKeijiDragon, conducted an interview with composer Makoto Tomozawa via
Twitter last year.  The interview was posted on Dash Republic (now
defunct), and later his Tumblr account. The interview wasn’t getting
much attention, so he was kind enough to send it to us. You can check
out some highlights from the now re-edited and expanded interview after the cut.

The third in our line of Bandai D-Arts reviews (following Mega Man & Rush and Vile) is none other than the Blue Bomber’s robotic rival, Bass, who is accompanied by his faithful robotic support wolf, Treble.

Smooth McGroove is a name who has been making the internet rounds with
his combination of prolific facial hair, dancing black cats, and above
all else, his a cappella versions of some of the most memorable tracks
in video gaming. This time, he sets his sights on one of the more iconic
tracks from Mega Man X, the soaring Storm Eagle stage theme.

After five years of work, Philippe Poulin (aka MegaPhilX) and his team have released “Mega Man Unlimited” to overwhelmingly positive reviews and ever-increasing popularity. Phil was recently able to sit down with The Mega Man Network and answered a plethora of questions. If you haven’t already, enjoy the first part of this interview and read on for even more questions about game design, discarded concepts and the awesome final bosses in “Mega Man Unlimited”.

As excited as we all are about Archie’s announcement of a series of Mega Man X back-up stories in the Mega Man comic book, there is still the matter at hand of the current storyline, “Blackout: The Curse of Ra Moon”
to deal with. Fortunately, we don’t need to wait long to see how Mega
Man and his allies get out of their current jam, as new preview pages
are now available!

There has been one question on
nearly everyone’s lips from the moment Archie announced that they were
going to be making a comic book based on Mega Man: “When will we see Mega Man X?” 

Archie has just sent out some interesting news for those of you who like
to enjoy a monthly dose of the Blue Bomber on the printed page!

After 12 issues of fighting with and alongside each other in Archie’s
“Worlds Collide,” did you ever wonder if perhaps Mega Man and Sonic the
Hedgehog still had any unfinished business with each other?

As if Mighty No. 9 wasn’t already a Mega Man dream team come true, Takeshi Tateishi, the composer of Mega Man 2, has agreed to make time in his busy schedule to collaborate with Manami Matsumae (Mega Man) and Ippo Yamada (Mega Man 9 and 10)!

My, what a mad, mad world we live in.

Thanks to a tip from Sockie, we now have a look at the creepy new cover for the upcoming 33rd issue of Archie’s Mega Man comic book, which deals with the fallout of the “Blackout: The Curse of Ra Moon” story arc.
