Those who have been a little late to the PlayStation Portable party and hoped to get their hands on Mega Man Powered Up by way of the PlayStation Network should probably start making other plans. According to Capcom’s Vice President of Strategic Planning & Corporate Development, Christian Svensson: There are techinical problems that neither we […]

This is a curious tale I’ve been thinking of writing up for some time now, and was inspired by yesterday’s Press The Buttons article about the “Capcom Turnaround.” I referenced this account at the end of the report, and amazingly enough, more of you were interested in that last line than in the PTB article! […]

TMMN resident Maverick-Jin brought my attention to an interesting article on Press The Buttons today. It’s a little feature in many Mega Man games I never thought much about, but immediately recognized its persistence when it was brought to light. So you’re playing a Mega Man game, when you drop down to a lower level. […]

Last weekend, Amazon and other online book retailers began offering books like Mega Man Official Complete Works for the cutthroat price of $14.99. A pretty good deal, but not a deal that was intended to happen. And while Amazon honored the orders at first, it seems that may not be the case anymore. Staffer Maverick-Jin […]

Last week, we reported that Capcom and Nintendo would be celebrating the March 1st WiiWare release of Mega Man 10 after-the-fact at the Nintendo World Store at Rockefeller Plaza in New York. Of course, save for the most devoted (with plenty of spare cash and the ability to make long road-trips on short notice), there […]

Following their “Welcome to 20XX” article from earlier last week, GameSpite Quarterly 3 has added a new article about Mega Man to their character profiles, which give a sort of VH1 Behind the Music-styled look at the history of some of gaming’s greatest (and not-so great) characters. This time, in the odd company of Frogger […]

For those unaware, Kirby Krackle is a “Nerd Rock Band” based in Seattle, WA. The duo writes songs about the things they love: “comic books, video games, zombies, girls and more”. Their latest song, now streamable on their site, is titled “Take it from me” and is about the blue bomber himself, Mega Man. The […]

Much attention has been paid to the large, triptych box art for Mega Man 10, which once more follows in the footsteps of the art for the release of the original games on the NES some 20+ years ago. Likewise, Capcom of Japan has continued to emulate the style used for the original Famicom Rockman […]

If there is one thing that the original Mega Man games for the Nintendo Entertainment System did not get a lot of around these parts (i.e. North America), it is some televised commercial love. Sure, there was that secret agent ad for Mega Man 3, and Mega Man 6 was squeezed in alongside the top-loading […]

There has been a lot of toy news on the Mega Man front recently, and we’re just going to lump everything into one big mega post here to help catch things up, okay? First, we remember that Capcom put out a call to we the fandom about the Mega Man Kubrick figures, and it looks […]

We all like Mega Man here, or as he’s known in Japan, “Rockman.” Or at least, one would think so; if not, we can only assume that this is your first time experiencing the wide world of the Blue Bomber, so we welcome you and hope you’ll enjoy your stay. Now, where was I? Ah, […]

As promised, Capcom has come through with the second batch of questions for Mega Man mastermind Keiji Inafune, as posed by members of the Capcom Unity. 6) Snppls asks: What is your stance on fan made material? Like fanart, sprite comics, remixes, fangames or the Rockman movie currently in production in the US. Do you […]
