We accidentally wound up sitting on this story for a bit, and to Undamned, we apologize for that. Nonetheless, “b15sdm” had a Frank West joystick he was trying to sell at the Shouryken.com forums. When that didn’t take, he changed it to the “more universal” theme of Mega Man to increase its odds. And according […]

For those unfamiliar, GameCenter CX, aka Retro Game Master via its Kotaku stream, is a Japanese television television show in which the star, Shinya Arino, attempts to play through the challenging video games of yesteryear. Additionally, it was the inspiration for the Nintendo DS game Retro Game Challenge— a true gem, if you can find […]

After skirting the razor’s edge in Cut Man’s stage, we blaze forward to Fire Man’s stage (with its music). We start off going through a few corridors with Screwdrivers. There’s not much to these when they’re all level with you, but they at least make you walk over one of them. The next part is […]

Speaking at the Game Developers Conference, Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune discussed the current state of the Japanese game industry in a speech entitled “The Future of Japanese Games.” In it he hit on the decline of Japanese video gaming, a subject that got him in hot water a few years ago. He attacked the tendency […]

Why does it seem like everyone wants Mega Man dead? Dr. Wily, fanfic authors… some would say Capcom… and now, these guys. That’s right, after about a month and a half wait, Mega Man Dies at the End has finally premiered on Machinima’s YouTube channel! …we just hadn’t gotten around to posting it, what with […]

Just a few items of note regarding Street Fighter x Tekken we wanted to get out there, for those of you interested in or considering purchasing the game.

Famitsu reviewed the game last week, giving the PS3 version a 35/40 and the Xbox 360 version 34/40, but now we English-speakers can […]

After blasting through Bomb Man‘s stage, we now arrive at Cut Man’s stage (Music). Cut Man starts of with a few platforms and Helis. The stage is also filled with blocks that can be picked up with the Super Arm, strongly hinting at the boss’s weakness. The next section is defended by two Mambus, one […]

Getting to be kind of a Street Fighter x Tekken weekend here on TMMN. We’ve been downing donuts and pizza the whole time, getting into the “Mega Man” spirit. Above’s a COIN-OP interview with Yoshinori Ono and Seth Killian. Around the 3:40 mark, Ono begins to talk about Pac-Man and Mega Man. This time, he […]
