Preview of Mega Man #9

Just one more issue, and the headlines for these previews won’t sound the least bit confusing any more! In any case, the preview for the newest issue of the Mega Man comic book is now available, and surprisingly enough, it’s not on IGN; rather, it comes straight from Archie’s very own blog. Following the events […]

From Pixels to Plastic: Mega Man Revisited and Kotobukiya Reviews

Destructoid Looks Back at the Mega Man Cartoon Soundtracks

Ah, soundtracks. A good idea in theory, to gather up all of the music heard within a movie, television show, or other production, and release it in a format which people can listen to at their leisure, all without the hassle of having to watch said production to hear certain songs, and typically without background […]

Bandai Shoulders the Burden of Redesigning Vile’s Armaments

When we reported that the next Bandai D-Arts figure from the Rockman X line would be none other than Vile, some people were a little disappointed by the design.
