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. The Mega Man story may have been inspired by many things, but some very cool parallels can be drawn from the novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip […]

Beginning at 1PM PST today, the folks from Shogun Gamer are going to hold a 48-hour Mega Man marathon, during which they will attempt to play through as many games from the main Mega Man Classic and Mega Man X series as they can. In doing so, they hope that those who view the marathon […]

Hmm, with all of those R’s in the headline, perhaps I should have said “Rockman” instead. Anyway, a few items of interest hit our Inbox today, and they all involve Mega Man in fighting games. Note that I didn’t specify Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3… but more on that in a minute. The first item […]

What’s with the sudden flood of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 news all of a sudden? You’d think the game was just about to go on sale or something. Oh, right. Anyway, here is the latest from our friends at Capcom Unity as they present the full cinematic trailer for the game: On Unity, Brelston […]

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 […]

Warning: Strong language and occasional robot domestic abuse. Animator and humorist Egoraptor has put out the latest in a series called Sequelitis, this one comparing Mega Man and Mega Man X. A lot of discussion is spent on showing how the Mega Man games were fun without having to hold your hand, because you learned […]

Before you head out amongst all the ghosts’n goblins of All Hallows’ Eve (or just a really tough video game), we would like to take this opportunity to look back at this year’s other big costumed event for Mega Man fans, the annual OtaRockman celebration at Otakon in Baltimore. TMMN Staff
