It’s kind of a slow news day today, but then, it’s Memorial Day, so what do you expect? To that end, it might interest some of you to know that during the intervening slowness of today’s video game news, Kotaku has apparently developed a serious– er, “passion” for all beings mechanical, and seem to be […]

It seems that Anime Boston has brought some new and unexpected news to the world of Mega Man. Word has it that FUNimation, most famously (as well as infamously) for their use of the North American Dragon Ball anime license, reportedly announced at the convention that it has acquired the distribution rights for the Ruby […]

Since the last wave of Jazwares’ Mega Man action figure line, which featured characters such as Cut Man, Proto Man, Command Mission Mega Man X, and Rush, as well as their “Retro Roto” figures modeled after the oldschool art style, the company had seemingly gone silent until the 2009 U.S. Toy Fair a few months […]

Some could argue that Mega Man’s North American box was the absolute worst Western box art to grace a Japanese game’s overseas version.  In that vein, Bungie sought to recreate the same horrors with their own top series.  GameSpy now has the final product for all to see.  Brace yourselves! Created by the actual artist […]

Ah, now here’s yet another blast from the past, one which I bet fewer Mega Man fans are familiar with. Many of us remember the Ruby-Spears Mega Man animated series which ran in syndication, went to Fox Family, then was released on DVD and then re-released on DVD again more recently. At the time of […]

Watching people play Mega Man games may not be quite as fun as playing them yourself, but it can be just as rewarding when it’s for a good cause. After the success of last year’s Mega Marathon Man, a non-stop Mega Man gaming session where viewers could watch and donate money to charity, Chuck and […]

Coming on May 26th to Japan will be the second reprints of the first two volumes from the Rockman Megamix manga by artist Hitoshi Ariga. Preorders are now being taken on Amazon of Japan for these 1,600 Yen (approximately $15) books. For collectors, the big draw here is the new covers made for the books […]

Sometimes, when you’re a fan of something long enough, you learn to take some of the older, less-favorable stuff in stride. Such is the case with this custom figure by one Kyle Robinson, whose work I found when doing research for a separate article. Kyle took one of Jazwares’ Retro Roto Mega Man figures, and […]

This past weekend held the GameStop Street Fighter IV National Tournament in San Francisco, where Seth Killian, Capcom USA’s community manager, was present to give play-by-play commentary on the unfolding matches. MMN viewer Christian was present at the event, and got a chance to chat a little bit with Seth. First of all, Seth is […]

Those of you wanting more “Rockman Dash” will have to settle for this right now (haw haw). In this artwork by Masao, we see what Mega Man apparently likes to do in his off time. Funny, ’cause this really seems more like something Proto Man would do. I’m pretty sure that’s how he captured Dr. […]

In the latest issue of Nintendo Power, the game the NP staff want most to appear on VC is Mega Man: The Wily Wars. Good pick, if you ask me. I’ve been fairly vocal about a Wily Wars re-release for some years. Its a nice collection of classics that many Americans haven’t had the opportunity […]

Looked in my inbox today to find some mail from Capcom’s PR.  You can now use Mega Man and Street Fighter themes to customize your iGoogle page, if you’re savvy on all that. Check out the links in the mail segment below to automatically swap your theme. We’re excited to announce new Mega Man and […]
