Protodude has managed to track down the last Mega Man commercial aired in the United States. Thankfully, it’s not the “He’s Called the Blue Bomber… Because He’s Blue!” one. Oh, Mom… (Really, that reminds me a bit of growing up.) TMMN Staff

Click to enlarge. Some of you may have seen the above image passed around. It’s amusing, as well as interesting, in that it essentially takes what we all know of Dr. Thomas Light, and puts a unique and entertaining spin on it. Over at Destructoid, Tony Ponce has gone in the exact opposite direction, taking […]

Our final stop on our trip back through Mega Man‘s adventures into the North American mainstream comes not from the United States, but Canada, and a small comic book company once known as Dreamwave. Though Archie’s first issue of Mega Man will be available in comic shops next week, this will not be the first […]

Following the posting of the preview pages for Mega Man #1 earlier, MMN reader Lamarfll pointed out that Comic Book Resources has an interesting animated trailer for the book, which you can see below, or find here. As promotion for a comic book, this is kind of neat– to say nothing of unexpected. No telling […]

While our countdown doesn’t end until tonight and the first issue doesn’t come out until next week, we have the preview pages for Archie’s Mega Man comic right here, right now. It feels like it has taken forever to get here, since the announcement at the New York Comic-Con in October of last year. It […]

To date, Mega Man‘s biggest excursion into the mainstream (mind, the video game industry wasn’t quite the same then as it is today) came to be in 1994, thanks to the animation company Ruby-Spears Productions*.   Together with Capcom Productions, they were able to create a highly-successful animated series which ran for three seasons**, and even […]

It begins! OverClocked ReMix’s second annual Robot Master Remix Battle is upon us. Just like last year, artists from around the internet will choose one robot master theme to rule them all and attempt to fight their way through fellow remixers for that number one spot. How does it work? After choosing a stage theme […]

More “man” than ever?

The first time Mega Man stepped out of the world of video games and into mainstream media, he didn’t wind up having to make a very big transition.  He co-starred as a member of the N-Team in Captain N: The Game Master, an animated cartoon which aired from 1989-1991 on NBC (who, incidentally, has aired […]

The time is nearly upon us: soon, the very first issue of Archie’s new Mega Man comic book will be making its way to subscribers, with the book reaching comic book shops on May 4th and other newsstands during the week of May 17th. To help get everyone into the mood for more Mega Man […]

Beginning tonight, as the clock turns to April 25th (or at about 1am EST– thank Daylight Savings Time for that, I guess), we will begin gearing up for next week’s release of Archie’s Mega Man comic book with a look back at Mega Man’s many appearances in different North American media. Along the way, there […]

Mushroom Kingdom Fusion is a custom-made fan game (and not a hack, in case you were wondering) we have mentioned previously on the site, one which features a wide variety of playable characters and settings from many various video games. Naturally, Mega Man elements play heavily into it, including some stages and the ability to […]
