Continuing our coverage of 1UP’s Cover Story this week, our suspicions have been confirmed: Retronauts Lunch Break will be taking on Mega Man Legends, “the series’ three-dimensional debut that didn’t receive the critical reception it deserved.” For those unfamiliar, Retronauts Lunch Break (which debuted with the NES Mega Man games) is a video game livestream […]

“Who has not felt how sadly sweet, The dream of home, the dream of home, Steals o’er the heart, too soon to fleet, When far o’er sea or land we roam?” -Thomas Moore, The Dream of Home —————————————- Blues left home because he was afraid that Dr. Light would erase his memories and personality entirely […]

If I might be allowed to break from the third-person for a moment: Wow, that was quick. I knew when I posted about the 1UP Cover Story yesterday that I a few of my own writings would come up, but I didn’t expect them so soon– much less two on the same day. If you […]

To start hyping up next year’s major comic crossover, Kotaku has a look at some of the covers of the 12-part “Worlds Collide” story arc, and a short interview with artist Patrick “Spaz” Spaziante, who is doing the cover art for all 12 issues. Specifically, these covers are from part 2 (Sonic Universe #51) and […]

As we announced previously, the classic art book R20: Rockman & Rockman X Official Complete Works is getting a 25th anniversary revamp, with even more content. So what can we expect?

“Playing God is indeed playing with fire. But that is what we mortals have done since Prometheus, the patron saint of dangerous discoveries. We play with fire and take the consequences, because the alternative is cowardice in the face of the unknown.” -Ronald Dworkin, Sovereign Virtue “Children are the keys of Paradise… they alone are […]

Here’s a scene from the Rockman 20th anniversary event Capcom held in Tokyo five years ago. I think it’s safe to say right now that Capcom of Japan is probably not planning such an event for the 25th anniversary (although fans are, at least). The event was a veritable Mega Man museum, containing playable classics, […]

Following his third major defeat to Mega Man, Dr. Wily has been pretty quiet in the shadows. But in the 23rd issue of Archie’s Mega Man, it appears Wily will be pushing forward with the first move of his next major scheme, and with perhaps his most powerful piece yet: Break Man. As the summary […]

“There is no greater sign of a general decay of virtue in a nation, than a want of zeal in its inhabitants for the good of their country.” -Joseph Addison “In truth there is no such thing in man’s nature as a settled and full resolve either for good or evil, except at the very […]

As part of our celebration of the Mega Man series hitting its 25th anniversary, we are featuring a look back at many of the games of the Classic series. This time, I’m looking at the original Mega Man game and what makes it a notable and fun game so many years later. As I look […]

When Trigger EXE submitted a news tip a couple of months ago about Mega Man being on GamingBolt.com’s Top 50 list of the worst video game box covers of all time, we almost didn’t run it. After all, it seems almost mandatory by this point for Mega Man to be included a the top of […]

“Courage charms us, because it indicates that a man loves an idea better than all things in the world, that he is thinking neither of his bed, nor his dinner, nor his money, but will venture all to put in act the invisible thought of his mind.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson “Courage! What makes a king […]
