Wow, you guys must really be excited about this news, given all the tips we’ve gotten. Never let it be said we don’t live to please… For everyone else who doesn’t know, Shovel Knight is a game being developed by Yacht Club Games, a studio formed by former employees of WayForward Technologies, including those who […]

“We have to get these two together.” –Dr. Peter Venkman “I think that would be extraordinarily dangerous.” –Dr. Egon Spengler, Ghostbusters —————————————- A year or so ago, when Wily was causing all sorts of havoc with his second Robot Rebellion and smacking Mega Man with cleverly fragmented pieces of a malware program, I remarked in […]

Cracked has a new list up, this one detailing “5 Iconic Characters Who Got Insane Reboots in Foreign Comics.” Interestingly enough, for only being five entries long, two of them go to comic book versions of video game characters. In addition to the story “Super Mario Goes to Hell” from Germany’s Club Nintendo magazine (more […]

Capcom Unity has just announced that the limited edition 25th anniversary statue of Mega Man first shown at PAX East is now available for pre-order in the Capcom Store. “This was originally announced as a SDCC 2013 exclusive,” notes Community Manager Brett Elston, “but the reaction was so strong we’re opening the floodgates early and […]

Here’s a neat image from Nintendo Power back in 2003, focusing on Mega Man‘s 15th anniversary. This is from a time when the Battle Network and Zero series were shiny and new (although Zero gets no mention here, curiously). I love how Mega Man 2 is propped as the best Classic game even then. The curiosity […]

Here is a cross fade sample of an up and coming Mega Man fan arranged album, MegaMusicMix. The album is being put together by Colis Records, creators of past doujin albums like RockLove and Rockbuster. However, this album is recruiting various fan artists to put together the music.
