Heat Man just passed along to us an item of interest off of the Japanese Rockman Unity blog. There, it is revealed that the popular debut* of the Rockman X series on the Sony PlayStation and SEGA Saturn, Rockman X4, will be coming to the Docomo and AU cell phone services in Japan. IF you […]

This may come as no surprise to anyone. After all, Bandai’s original Zero figure was given the mark “1st ver”, so it seemed almost inevitable a figure of Zero’s updated look would come about. And inevitable strikes today. On Rockman Unity, Ucchy-san is teasing the above photos of a Zero prototype figure, clad in those […]

by James “GS Edgeman” Riser Mega Man lives in the science fiction universe with the creations of Isaac Asimov, Philip K. Dick, and many others.

Thanks to @Cyberlink420 on Twitter, we have learned that Shoryuken.com has made a new post about Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, one which should interest Mega Man fans, regardless of your feelings toward the game itself. In addition to posting some combo videos (for non-Mega Man characters, sorry), it would seem that some members of […]

Are my puns getting as good as BD’s? Anyhow, here’s another rare trinket to pop up on eBay. This is a piggy bank modeled after Mega Man X in his X2 armor, apparently created as a Rockman X2 good. Can’t say I’ve ever seen it myself, and neither has CAP Kobun, who came across the […]

Though Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 is not due to be available until November 15th, it seems that some avid fans are already getting their hands on copies of Bradygames’ official guide to the beefed-up fighter. Such is the case of Shoryuken forums user TheDarkPhoenix, pictured with his prize at right. And what secrets the […]

When we reported that the next Bandai D-Arts figure from the Rockman X line would be none other than Vile, some people were a little disappointed by the design. Specifically, the way the shoulder cannon was placed on the figure, which seemed to go through the shoulder and its armor, much as it did in […]

Hey X, still have a reason to act all emo and depressed? A couple months back we reported on the announcement of a garage kit in the works for the original Rockman X manga character Merti. And not just any garage kit, but one officially endorsed by series author Yoshihiro Iwamoto. Mr. Iwamoto has been […]
