Following the rise of the PlayStation, SEGA Saturn, and the Nintendo 64, numerous legendary video game franchises birthed in the realm of two dimensions made the transition to 3D. Some were vastly successful… and others, unfortunately, were not. GameDaily takes a look at nine different franchises which, in their opinion, fared better in the 2D […]

As we reported, a Mega Man segment was featured for the first time in Video Games Live when it performed yesterday in Los Angela’s Greek Theater. Featuring the opening theme to Mega Man 2, the title theme from Mega Man 3 and of course the trademark Wily’s stage from Mega Man 2, it’s a pretty […]

If you live in or near Los Angeles, California, and you’re feeling impulsive, why not grab some tickets to tomorrow’s Video Game Live performance and catch some premiere music from Mega Man 2 and 3! According to Joystiq, the show will take place at the Greek Theater and tickets are still available, despite that the […]

In the series’ continuing quest to be unpredictable, Mega Man Rush Marine takes Mega Man and his canine companion’s submersible form to defend the waters from the evil Dr. Wily. I’d almost not believe it myself except that the retro-styled shooter is slated for release on mobile phones. It seems even Dr. Wily is feeling […]

It’s usually Japan who gets all the fun stuff, but not this time. Now, we can curse Korea for getting the greatest coffee mugs ever: Ironically, as you can see, the Servbot mugs aren’t to promote a new Mega Man Legends game, nor even Marvel vs. Capcom 2‘s impending arrival on Xbox LIVE Arcade and […]

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 […]
