Mega Man Gets Equipped with World Record

According to the Capcom-Unity blog, the Mega Man franchise has marked its place in the 2008 edition of the Guinness Book of World Records as having the most games in one series. ‘Course, this could be taken as an accomplishment or perhaps as a discouragement, depending on how you want to look at it. Furthermore, [...]

MMPU and Maverick Hunter X Back in Stock at Capcom Shop

Get ‘em while you can! If you’re a late adopter of the PSP, perhaps of the newer, more slimlined model, you might not have gotten around to picking up such treasures as Mega Man Powered Up and Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X. Of course, if that’s the case, we would ask what you’re even doing [...]

Star Force 3 Teaser Site Opens

Capcom of Japan has opened a teaser site for Ryuusei no Rockman 3 (Mega Man Star Force 3), which wastes no time in getting serious with the message “The future of this planet is now up to them.” A following message in Japanese states “2008. Noise will conceal the world.” So we can expect a [...]

Another Gigamix Sample

Inti Creates has put up another sample for ZX Gigamix, the Battle Giga Mixture track. Sounds a little like Devo. There’s another update planned for next week, but by that point the album should be released.

Just what is a sound sketch?

According to Ippo Yamada, the sound sketches on ZX Gigamix are simply listening to sound. “For example,” he explains, “when you listen carefully in a room that seems silent, you can hear all sorts of sounds like the hum of appliances, the tick of a clock and the environment outside the window.” These sounds can [...]

Star Force 3 on the Horizon

I haven’t seen this myself so far, but word has it that a Ryuusei no Rockman boss character contest has begun in the latest issue of CoroCoro Comics, which would seem to indicate that a third title (and however many versions of it) is in the works. Somewhat sadly, aside from the Gigamix album the [...]

Gigamix Track List

Those of you interested in the ZX Gigamix soundtrack coming the end of this month can take a gander at the track list today in the first of Inti’s major updates about the album. If you’re familiar with ZX and ZXA Tunes you should have no trouble identifying what songs were chosen to be “gigamixed” [...]

Wave Command Cards Confirmed For Star Force 2? Ye Gods, the world is coming to an end.

As some people have often mentioned, Capcom of America tends to…cut things out of North American releases of Mega Man titles. Voice acting, E Reader Cards, entire Network Maps, Boktai cameos (although this one couldn’t be helped in the case of BN6…) and much, much more. Star Force was no different with its Transer Card [...]

Haha, but seriously

A few days ago on a little something called April Fools, Inti Creates advertised an upcoming product known as the Rockman ZX Soundsketch: ZX Gigamix. Pricing it at three billion yen, they were clearly trying to take advantage of the weak US dollar. But today Gigamix has reappeared on their site (at the more gracious [...]

Crisis Averted!

As you may have noticed, The Mega Man Network is no longer active. Due to some large TMMN staff losses including Lord Black Draco, TheDivine, Sylvester, and RockNRoll, it was agreed to reconvert every ounce of data under the Atomic Fire name. Come back often, since LanceHeart (A.K.A. Slave Boy) is hard at work making [...]
