As many of you are no doubt already aware, it seems that one of Konami’s worst-kept secrets of late is their plan to bring a new Castlevania title to WiiWare. The ESRB posted the info before Konami was able to make an announcement (and, as of this writing, they have still yet to say anything), […]

We have some bad news. It looks like the “Mega Man: Complete History” book we posted about back in July has been canceled. Here’s the official word: “Unfortunately this book will not be published, but we are coming out with a Street Fighter book. I let the person who worked on this book know and […]

“Energize Your Excitement.” “Mega Man 3. Anything else you need to know?” “Help Mega Man turn Proto Man into spare parts.” These were just some of the slogans which Capcom used in the magazine ads for their games way back in the day, for title such as Mega Man, Mega Man 3, and Mega Man […]

As many of you are no doubt already aware, today marks the tenth anniversary of the North American launch of the Dreamcast, SEGA’s final (and some might even say greatest) console. Without any proper Mega Man titles on the platform among Capcom’s considerable list of games (for the system’s short lifespan), one might think there […]

If you thought the original Mega Man wasn’t tough enough already, then try playing it like this! Twiggy over at Capcom*Unity spotted this pretty sweet Rubik’s Cube alteration. Being the numskull I am, though, I could definitely beat the game much faster than I could beat this thing. I wonder if clearing Cut Man’s face […]

The Capcom*Unity is just as surprised as we are, not that someone decided to rank their top 10 franchises– it happens all the time– but that the source of said ranking was ABC News in Sacramento. So, who did they pick? Let’s see: ABC News 10 Top Ten Capcom Franchises 10. Onimusha 9. Ghouls ‘N’ […]

It’s no small secret that music is considered a very significant part of the Mega Man games. After all, the Blue Bomber himself and his sister were originally named for Rock and Roll, only to be later joined by Blues, Beat, Tango, and others. And then with the X series, the whole thing kind of […]

Capcom has finally announced some of the items they will be selling at their booth at this year’s Penny Arcade Expo (PAX). Though there are only two Mega Man items (both of which are keychains) listed currently, there is a rather vague listing of other types of things that will be available that could very […]

Protodude has put up a very interesting video on his site today. It’s an advertisement for an event called “Rockman Live Stage” that was put on in the fall of ’98. Apparently, footage of the event itself hasn’t been found yet at this point in time, but this commercial can at least give us an […]

Is it cold in here, or is it just me? The answer? Neither; it’s that repurposed refrigerator, Cold Man, up to his icy tricks. Fortunately, we have our resident game master, Ryudo, here to put him in his place. And to do so, he’s partnering up with the Blue Bomber once again, leaving bad boy […]

Deviant Artist Orioto, who has become well known for what people describe as “HD artwork” depicting classic gaming scenes through highly-detailed pieces of art not unlike what one would expect a remake to look like, has recently released another piece featuring the Blue Bomber. While the earlier piece depicts a much more official art-styled Mega […]

Hello, Antarctica! And you folks in Greenland, too! The next part of our shout-out to all of the Mega Man fans in some of the world’s colder regions continues today with a look at the chilly boss from the Classic series’ only Super NES installment, Mega Man 7. Ryudo takes on patrolling Petaforths, ice-slinging Shirokumachine […]
