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 […]

Say what you will about the Ruby-Spears Mega Man cartoon, but at least it had a cool opening. Which is why it made perfect sense for YouTube user ColoniaContraAtaca to remake it in the style of the games which inspired it: You can compare it with the original here, or watch the two side-by-side together […]

For nearly as long as Mega Man has been around, fans and the media have also known the robot hero as the “Blue Bomber.” We’ve discussed the origin of this term in the past, but now the question has been put forth: is it really appropriate for Dr. Light’s prized creation? That is the question […]

The curious licensed Famicom album Zoku Fami Compi is out today in Japan. As we reported before, it’s the second CD in a series of arrangements from various Famicom (NES) games. Given the interests of viewers to this site, I thought it relevant to let you hear the album’s tracks from Rockman and Rockman 2. […]

Just a quick note for you fans of Mega Man art and the Archie comic alike; colorist Matt Herms has added some new covers to his gallery on deviantART. Now, you can see such awesome images as Mega Man squaring off against Crash Man, the tabloid-esque cover to issue #13, or Rush and Mega Man […]

It would seem that Archie’s Mega Man comic book has been generating a fair bit of online buzz lately, what with the recent preview of issue #13, which begins an original story arc with new characters; an article about said issue, and the series at large; and of course, the Free Comic Book Day offering […]

Just a quick, personal site note for you frequent MMN readers out there. I’m heading out of town next week to visit some friends and family; with any luck, I’ll be able to continue my updates while I’m away from home, save for when we’re traveling on the road. Of course, as I’m sure those […]

Dollars, Zenny, Bolts– whatever you want to call it, you probably need something to keep it in. And that’s where GE Animation comes in with these two new Mega Man 10 wallets, available on July 30th in both Mega Man and Proto Man varieties for a price yet to be determined. And if you’re interested […]

Mega Man: Defender of freedom, crusader for justice, fighter for everlasting peace, and… malware? That is the accusation leveled at the Blue Bomber by one contributor at the website Overthinking It. There, it is put forth that perhaps not everything is as we’ve been led to believe in the games. Sure, the instruction booklet accuses […]

Just a quick reminder for everyone: after you’ve gone to see The Avengers this weekend, you’ll want to locate your nearest local comic book shop and drop in for Free Comic Book Day this Saturday, May 5th. As we noted previously, this year’s Gold Tier of free comics will include a special FCBD edition of […]

It’s about time to jump into a whole new adventure in Archie’s Mega Man. Destructoid has a preview up for the next coming issue, which will start the arch “Spirit Ex Machina.” Without giving too much away, the issue starts with Dr. Light and co. visiting the Advanced Robotics Trade Show. Light is quick to […]

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 […]
