Sword Man Has Really Pulled Himself Together

Here’s another little blast from the Blue Bomber’s past, dating back to sometime before Mega Man 8 hit the scene on the original Sony PlayStation and SEGA Saturn. The following scan comes from an issue of a magazine known as Game On! that was promoting Super Mario 64, and features an image of a robot […]

Mega Man Model-Mania (or, Rockman Model-Rama)

We’ve done our fair share of gushing over custom Rockman model kits in this space, and we aren’t about to stop now. Let’s face it, for a reasonable price, there is a lot of this stuff that almost any of us would buy if given the right opportunity. And as Auto has revealed to us, […]

Is it Time for the “ReBirth” of Mega Man?

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), […]

“Anything Else You Need to Know?”

“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 […]

10 Years of SEGA Dreamcast: 9/9/99 – 9/9/09

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 […]

Mega Man + Rubik’s Cube = Get equipped with frustration

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 Music of Mega Man: Ranked for Your Pleasure

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 […]
