Not only will it make your jaw drop, but you'll probably shout "no way!" or something as well. Suffice to say, it's a shocker, and may just blow your mind. Are you ready?

Following appearances from Samus Aran of Metroid, Link from The Legend of Zelda, Isabelle and Mr. Resetti from Animal Crossing, Sonic the Hedgehog, and Taiko Drum Master, it seems Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate is becoming Capcom's newest point of convergence for popular characters. So who else is joining in (sort of)?

After receiving tons of questions (well, a good healthy few, but we give those a lot of weight), we finally have some good news to report!

Now then, where were we?

With the announcement of "Worlds Unite" earlier this week came the promise that more info about the second crossover event between Mega Man and Sonic the Hedgehog would come at New York Comic Con. Earlier today, the Archie Action Hour panel took place at the convention, and while not much new was said about the crossover, that doesn't mean the panel was devoid of Mega Man news.

With the announcement of "Worlds Unite" a couple of days ago, we teased that there was more news for Mega Man fans set to come from New York Comic Con, and the time to pull back the curtain on that announcement is here!

We've seen what happens when worlds collide; in 2015, we'll see what happens when they unite.

As you might recall, Comcept posted an update to their Mighty No. 9 Kickstarter page regarding a number of things, including their ideas on the prospect of voice acting, additional funding, and more. Suffice to say, for some, the update did not go over very well.

And tomorrow in Australia

While Rockman Xover was met with jeers and disdain upon its announcement, the game continues on to this day in Japan, and has even managed to build up something of a cult fandom outside of its homeland among those Mega Man fans who would seek it out, despite not being released abroad. So with that in mind comes this bit of news and information.

For the second year in a row, The Mega Man Network has been fortunate enough to interview "the father of Mighty No. 9", Keiji Inafune. Of course, he is also famous for, among other things, being the father to another famous blue robot. Read on to find out his inspiration and thoughts about the Mighty No. 9's Xel system, what he thinks of his fans, and more.

Coming out of the 2014 Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) last weekend are some new videos for Mighty No. 9, highlighting some new stages and gameplay, the multiplayer mode, and more!

Yesterday, The Mega Man Network was recently able to sit down and play through a demo level of Mighty No. 9 during PAX 2014. While it was only one level, it showed off a number of cool things that makes Mighty No. 9 a different beast than its predecessors, while still maintaining much of what made previous games staring blue robots particularly special. 

A quick tip from Heat Man has notified us that following the recent release of Azure Striker Gunvolt in Japan (where it's known as Armed Blue Gunvolt), Inti Creates is now in the process of planning not one, but two soundtracks to be released in Gunvolt's native land.

Thanks to the fine folks at Inti Creates and 8-4 Ltd., The Mega Man Network has been able to play through and dissect much of what could be called the first post-Capcom Mega Man game–Mega Man without Mega Man, as it were. But defining Azure Striker Gunvolt in that way would do an injustice to one of the best platformers of this generation.

Six days and over 180 comments later, one has been chosen...

As of August 20th, 2014, Azure Striker Gunvolt has just been released in Japan. However, the fine folks at 8-4 and Inti Creates have been courteous enough to not only allow us to give you an idea of what's to come in North America on the 29th, but something more as well.

As you might have noticed, we have a section for news separate from the usual Mega Man fun here called "Mega Man-esque," for games and such which fall in the spirit of Mega Man, but aren't actually Mega Man. And let us tell you, they don't get much more "Mega Man-esque" than this!

Today, Inti Creates announced that Azure Striker Gunvolt, the spiritual sequel to their Mega Man Zero and ZX games, will be released on Friday, August 29th in North America and cost $14.99 on the Nintendo 3DS.

Comcept has released yet another new video to show off footage from their upcoming title, Mighty No. 9. This time out, we get to see Call in action with her jetpack, among some other new footage of in-game transformations and stages.
