Pop Facts GameTrailers has a rather timely new edition of “Pop Facts.” However, contrary to its title, this episode isn’t about the somewhat-recent Street Fighter X Mega Man game, but rather, it’s about the Street Fighter moves found in the first two Mega Man X titles. LanceHeartlocalhost/tmmn

Yesterday, news broke that Nintendo Power magazine will soon be ending its nearly 25-year run as a print magazine, though there is some hope that it may continue as an online presence. When it comes to print magazines, Mega Man could not have asked for a better friend than Nintendo Power. Certainly, other magazines would […]

Because Redmage1987 thinks maybe you haven’t. A lot of people know about the old style Batton M-501 in the original Mega Man X that drops loads of 1-Ups. But did you know the Rideroid G in Wheel Gator’s stage does too? You just have to be able to catch it outside of its ride armor. […]

While the August 2012 issue of Nintendo Power won’t be reaching newsstands and other fine purveyors of quality print publications until August 7th, subscribers (such as ourselves) are already getting their hands on it through the mail. So, what does this edition have in store for Mega Man fans? No game announcements; sorry if that’s […]

Better late than never, wouldn’t you say? Japan having received the game late last year, and Europe getting a hold just a couple weeks ago, now folks in North America can finally enjoy Mega Man X2 on the Wii’s Virtual Console service. Like many SNES games, just drop 800 Wii Points and it’s yours. To […]

Well how’s that for a touch of irony? Europe didn’t get Mega Man X for quite a while until after North America got it, but now you guys appear to be getting Mega Man X2 before us! The game will be available on the Wii’s Virtual Console service the 31st, this Thursday for the usual […]

Well X fans, if figures galore weren’t enough, how about another retro download? Mega Man X2 is headed to the Wii’s Virtual Console service! So far this is confirmed for both Japan and North America. Nintendo of Japan’s VC lineup has Rockman X2 listed for a December release, just in time for the game’s 17th […]

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 […]

The good ol’ ESRB has clued us in on another upcoming Mega Man release. This time the entry for Mega Man X2 has been updated to include the Wii as a supported console. This would definitely indicate the sequel is headed for the Wii’s Virtual Console. As has been the case before, it will probably […]

Some of you might be too young to remember, but back in the early 90’s, before the rise of the internet into mainstream prominence, gaming was… a bit different. For one thing, getting to see videos of new and upcoming titles before they came out was something of a rarity, usually reserved for special VHS […]

Running on nearly 22 years now, there are a lot of Mega Man games out there. A lot are good, some are legendary, and some just kind of stink. However, there is an unwritten rule, so to speak, that Mega Man gets better the second time around. The most obvious of these examples is Mega […]
