Editorial: Mega Man Must Reach for a New Paradigm

Mega Man has had a pretty tough run this year, that much is obvious. What I believe may be less obvious, however, is that the recent cancellations are a symptom of a much more troubling problem that has been deep beneath the Mega Man games for a very long time now: The series is now […]

Mega Man Double Pack on its Way to PlayStation Portable? (Updated)

Yeah, we’re a little late with this one, but it’s worth talking about just the same. A few days ago (okay, so closer to a week), we heard from MMN reader RedMage1987 and Protodude’s Rockman Corner about a “Mega Man Dual Pack” for the PlayStation Portable, which appears on both GameFAQs and GameStop’s website. The […]

Capcom: “Mega Man is Still a Very Important Brand to Us”

During a recent video session of Ask Capcom, Senior Vice President Christian Svensson provided the following answer to one question that has been on many a Blue Bomber fan’s mind: “Is Mega Man dead?” “Oh, absolutely not,” he responded. “The frustrating thing for me is I have nothing I can hold up and say, ‘Oh, […]

Mega Man and Aperture Science Team Up

In this bit of entertainment video, Mega Man gets equipped with his own portal gun after beating who we’d presume is Portal Man (possibly created while Wheatley was in charge). What ensues is a bit of game breaking madness with Mega Man using his new found toy to make his enemies look foolish. And then […]

Questions on Ruby-Spears Mega Man Answered by Joe Ruby

The Ruby-Spears production of the Mega Man animated series is a fondly remembered cartoon, differences, strange quirks and modern memes aside. Even when it premiered, I can recall being just a kid and thinking the show seemed peculiarly different than what I came to know as Mega Man. But that made it no less entertaining, […]

Preview Pages for Mega Man #4, Plus Chad Thomas Robot Master Art/Tease

IGN has posted their exclusive preview of Mega Man #4, the issue which concludes the first Blue Bomber story arc from Archie, based on the original Mega Man video game. Strangely enough, the preview seems to cut away during one battle and skip to the build-up to another part of the story entirely. Mega Man […]

IGN: You Don’t Know Jack About Mega Man

IGN has posted an article about Mega Man, but it doesn’t seem to be aimed at the likes of you or I. Titled “You Don’t Know Jack About Mega Man,” it sets out to correct the misconceptions held by fans of the original series (and only the original series) that all other branches of the […]

About 1:30 in, Niitsuma is asked which Mega Man character he’d like to see if UMvC3 were to have anymore. Niitsuma says Mega Man X in response, acknowledging the large fan following surrounding the Maverick Hunter. A fairly provocative […]
