         Yep, Bandai’s D-Arts VAVA figure (Vile to us) is now shipping in Japan. This was a Tamashi Web exclusive here, and while those in North America should be able to buy it via the regular means, there was only a short window of time that people in Japan could order from Bandai directly. Perhaps […]

Tom, host of The TomBobBlender Show, has dropped us a line to inform everyone that starting this Saturday, June 23rd at 9pm EST, they will be hosting a Mega Man Megathon to help raise money for the American Red Cross. Games from both the original and Mega Man X series will be played “in a […]

Click to enlarge. That’s right, this auction for a third-series Rockman X3 “Factory Figure D” set, said to be a rare item by the seller, is available for the next day and a half for a starting bid of $700 (plus $15 for shipping if you win). It is an interesting find, brought to our […]

A few days ago, we posted this “lost” commercial for Rockman.EXE 3: Black Version, which had been posted to YouTube recently by hikachi8. Well, he’s back at it again! More recently, he posted another Rockman commercial, one that we– and maybe you– might remember a little more clearly: Mind, there is another version of the […]

We received a tip from Erico reminding us that today, June 4th, is the “Day of Sigma” (according to the instruction manual for Mega Man X). Or, as he puts it, “Reploid Independence Day.” Or at least it will be, come 21XX. We’ll just let him take it from here: “I’ve been celebrating this holiday […]

The time has finally come! After far too long a wait (my sincerest apologies– travel + illness + work does not a fun combination make. It’s not a good excuse, but it’s all I have), we are now ready to reveal the winners of our collaborative contest with Capcom Unity and the Capcom Store to […]

Over the past week, 1UP has run a series of themed articles under the common theme of “What If?: Gaming’s Alternate Realities.” In these hypothetical situations, we get an idea of how the video game industry might have been different had it not been for certain influential factors and events taking place. Naturally, as you’ve […]

Beginning at 6pm EST this Thursday, May 17th, the Ocean City Trinity, Triple Speed Runners, Bonus Stage Marathons, and Team Brocket are holding a 72-hour “Mega Man Versus” marathon for Child’s Play, during which they will be playing through 24 different games from the franchise. And not only that, but they are also competing with […]

The video game website GigaBoots is carrying on their celebration of the Blue Bomber from last year into what is starting to look like an annual tradition with “Mega May” 2012. What’s it all about? Watch the video to learn more (warning: NSFW language): In addition to their Quick Plays, Let’s Plays, and other stuff, […]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiePaAHK3jE The viral video “Go Right“, a compilation by RockyPlanetesima of over 130 videos of gaming through the ages, is getting attention throughout the internet. 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 […]

It was one of the ones which nearly got away. Originally, Capcom USA was not going to release Mega Man X3 or its Classic series stablemate, Mega Man 7. The game came during the console’s twilight years, which is evident in the ports made to the next generation platforms Sony PlayStation and SEGA Saturn, and […]

Recently, we received an interesting e-mail* which posed a question: “X7 seems to be universally panned as an awful game. I certainly don’t think it’s bad, at worst okay. I thought X6 deserved that title the most due to obvious complications in its design. But that’s all a thing of personal opinion. Why is X7 […]
