Here’s yet another story where I’m not terribly knowledge of the source material. However, you weirdo anime fans will probably know exactly what it’s about. This past December a PSP game in the popular Lucky Star series called Lucky Star: Net Idol Meister came out in Japan. Why am I bothering to post about this […]

Last week, we delivered the sad news that the first volume of UDON’s Mega Man Megamix is facing a slight delay, with its release now scheduled for February 24th, 2010. In the meantime, so as to avoid a robot revolution of their own, they are offering some preview pages from the profile section of the […]

Kotobukiya, a Japanese producer of model kits and action figures, appears to be planning the release of a Rockman action figure. At this weekend’s Wonderfest 2010 event in Japan, Kotobukiya exhibited a Combat-san figure in front of a poster teasing a new figure release with Rockman’s silhouette (image below). Truth be told I don’t really […]

It looks like Japan just keeps getting more neat Rockman goods. While the Kubrick figures will be coming out this month in Japan, Bandai is also preparing a total of 11 “Super Model Spirit” figures, measuring 6~10cm, of various characters in the Rockman franchise. These include: Rockman with Metall A (classic series) Rockman with Metall […]

A quick word from our friends at UDON: Unfortunately Mega Man Megamix Vol.1 took a longer than expected to get approved by our licensor(we’ll just have to submit future volumes sooner), so it will be a little later than we hoped for. The final release date is Feb 24th, 2010. To tide everyone over, here’s […]

Throughout today, the Capcom Unity had been offering a series of challenges to its members, with each success revealing another piece of a puzzle for a mysterious image. The Unity came through, and the following image was revealed: Indeed, there is a new piece of “iam8bit” art for those who love the self-parodying style Capcom […]

Remember these guys? We brought you word of the Kubrick and BearBrick figures of Mega Man and robo-bro Proto Man back in October, but there was one small catch to getting these figures. Like so many other pieces of Blue Bomber merchandise, it was only available in Japan– and not cheap, either, at around $30.90 […]

So, the good news is that via Protodude, PocketBerry reports that the cellphone shooter Mega Man: Rush Marine (which you can see in action here) has come to the Blackberry. And, they seem to like it. The game runs one $6.99, and can be purchased from Bplay, which also tells you which Blackberry devices the […]

The classic 8-bit opening sequences of the Mega Man games for the Nintendo Entertainment System are some of the most memorable in video games, especially among fans. Who doesn’t get a little excited when they recognize the music which plays as the camera pans up what appears to be the largest tower in the city, […]

We all know that a large part of Mega Man 10‘s hook is that it’s a retro-styled title, a blast from the past, made in the style of the 8-bit NES titles which brought the Blue Bomber to prominence. But it appears that the game gets a little more oldschool than we thought… or perhaps […]

Remember back in late November, when we told you about a new initiative hinted at by Capcom Community Manager Seth Killian that would allow Mega Man fans, and Capcom fans in general, to let their voices be heard for new games they would like to see (such as Mega Man Legends 3)? Well, Capcom has […]

A few days ago, in the post “IGN Goes Hands-On with Mega Man 10, and Capcom Finally Addresses Multiplayer,” I said: I think it’s safe to assume there are people who do indeed love the spirit of Mega Man, but have been put off by some of its more precise demands; hopefully Easy Mode will […]
