MM Universe: Looking Back on Something Old with Something New

It’s been a full year since the cancellation of Mega Man Universe. It happened to be on my birthday too, making it just a little more special! Anyway, as much as I’ve racked my brain, I don’t have much insightful to say on the matter. Some say this marked the beginning of Mega Man’s downfall, […]

Inafune Doesn’t Know “If Anybody Will Have the Guts to Fight Against the Company Right Now”

Transformers: The Movie, this ain’t. …the old one, we mean. Pre-Michael Bay. 1986. In that movie, when Autobot leader Optimus Prime died (spoilers), his last words were that “one day, an Autobot shall rise from our ranks and use the power of the Matrix to light our darkest hour.” On the other side of things, […]

Inafune and Mega Man’s Cancellations: Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc

Some of you may remember that about a month ago, a well-spoken gentleman by the name of Andrew Eisen addressed Nintendo of America and their seeming decision not to release any of the “Operation: Rainfall” games (Xenoblade Chronicles, The Last Story, and Pandora’s Tower for the Wii) by way of a YouTube video which asked […]

Editorial: Mega Man Must Reach for a New Paradigm

Mega Man has had a pretty tough run this year, that much is obvious. What I believe may be less obvious, however, is that the recent cancellations are a symptom of a much more troubling problem that has been deep beneath the Mega Man games for a very long time now: The series is now […]

Megafying Your Wear to Support Mega Man Universe (Updated)

It was quite a bummer earlier this year when Capcom eventually announced the cancellation of Mega Man Universe. I think by now most of us have gotten past it, but that doesn’t mean everyone has. A Japanese fan who goes by the handle Asadori has set into motion a small scale campaign called Your Wear, […]

Inafune Responds to the Cancellation of Mega Man Universe, and the “Twisting” of His Concepts

By now, we all know that Mega Man Universe, a downloadable title initiated by former Capcom executive Keiji Inafune, was given the axe earlier this year. Whether for or against it, many of those who followed the game felt that the project’s cancellation could perhaps be largely attributed to one factor more than any other: […]

The Big Bang and Sudden Implosion of Capcom’s Mega Man Universe

A certain wiki aside, the first time anyone had heard of anything called “Mega Man Universe” was when Capcom USA’s trademark for the name as the title of a video game was discovered in April of 2010. And amusingly enough, it seems that as many visitors to The Mega Man Network were concerned of what […]
