About a week ago, Heat Man came to me and said “you know, it’s going to be the year 20XX soon. You should write something reflecting that.” And then he went and wrote his own article, so now you get two of these things. With that said, let us take a look back on the […]

Rumor has it that rather than risk sinking money into a DS port-plus version of Mega Man Battle Network in Operate Shooting Star, Capcom may instead simply lift the multiplayer mode from the title and release it independently on Nintendo’s DSiWare downloadable video game service. The mini-game, known as “Star Colosseum,” allows six players to […]

WARNING: There will be spoilers here for Rockman.EXE Operate Shooting Star. I advise hitting BACK on your browser now if you wish to avoid spoilage.

An excerpt from an interesting piece at Protodude’s Rockman Corner: Guess the game I’m describing: It’s a DS “port plus alpha” of a GBA Capcom hit which spawned a successful franchise, marketed as a ‘revival’ of the series. In it, a blue-suited hero proudly wearing the symbol of his profession on his chest does battle […]

If you check out Capcom of Japan’s official website for Rockman.EXE: Operate Shooting Star and check out the “brain section,” then there is a chance that you might run into this cheerful little fellow: His appearance is random, but if you do encounter him, then he will reward you with a piece of Rockman.EXE concept […]

With Mega Man Star Force 3 having been released not very long ago, it feels kind of weird to think that another game is coming out so soon. Of course, Japan has had Ryuusei no Rockman 3 for some time now, but it’s easy to forget. And now, rumor is that a tentative packshot for […]
