As many of us will be busy gorging ourselves with patriotism and grilled meats tomorrow, here’s a little something easy going: a storybook with Rockman! This kids book from 1996, a “Nagaoka’s Li’l Picture Book,” contains references from Mega Man 6, Mega Man 7, and even Mega Man 2 for Game Boy. TMMN Staff

Truth be told, this doesn’t really count as “news,” since the subject of the story is actually rather old. Nonetheless, it seemed interesting enough to write about. To your right (click to enlarge) is a piece of kids furniture manufactured by Itoki Design in 1994. But don’t try to sit in this chair; odds are […]

That’s right; this rendition of the Blue Bomber and the devious doctor aren’t Powered Up, they’re all sewn up! By way of the Capcom Unity come these two plush adversaries that could give Sackboy a run for his money. More pics can be seen there, as well as on lostdawill’s Flickr account. If this doesn’t […]

While the past few days have been chock-full of E3 excitement (would that make it E4?), odds are that if you visit this site, you’ve noticed a clear lack of presence from the Blue Bomber at the show. Yeah, we know. And God help poor Heat Man’s credit card bill if something doesn’t surface in […]

A little over a month ago, we reported on Super Mario Bros. Crossover, a new fan game in which a number of classic NES characters (Mega Man among them, of course) fight their way through the worlds of the original Super Mario Bros. with their original controls, special moves and abilities, and music intact. A […]

Late last week we broke the story of Rockman Online’s latest developments, and gave the details. However, there was one detail I was remiss in pointing out at the time. Given that I don’t know Korean, and machine translations are sketchy at best, I didn’t feel confident about putting it out. But after looking into […]

Who is Mega Man’s “daddy?” Is it Dr. Light? Or Keiji Inafune? Or is it Chef? Is it Mephesto? Or that little monkey guy that follows him around? Or is it Mr. Garrison? Jokes aside, ScrewAttack.com’s Game Overthinker has put the Blue Bomber under the microscope to delve deep into the hero’s creation. However, he […]

Over on 1UP’s Retronauts blog, Jeremy Parish has taken a look at the most recent efforts from both the East and the West in their attempts to recreate the Blue Bomber in a tangible plastic form. TMMN Staff

Last week, the eagerly-anticipated PlayStation 3-exclusive Zelda-ish title 3D Dot Game Heroes was finally released in North America. And as a game which (despite some of its more modern visual flair) embraces the 8bit days of the industry and features a custom character editor, we all knew it was only a matter of time before […]

We’ve reported for a while now on Kotobukiya’s upcoming fantastic, fully poseable 1/10 scale Rockman figure. The modeling of the figure has been looking top notch, but something about it still seemed a bit glum. Perhaps it was all that prototype gray that was going on. But that’s no longer an issue, as a full […]

A few weeks ago, we informed you of Capcom Unity’s plans to proceed with a contest called “Capcom Retro Idol,” wherein fans of Capcom’s 8- and 16-bit software would get a chance to step up and defend their game of choice to the world. Or, at least the part of the world that plays video […]
