Month: October 2008

According to Nintendo of Japan, Rockman 3 is expected to hit the Wii’s Virtual Console service on November 4th. This hopefully means two things. One, that there’s a continued interest of classic Mega Man on the Wii. And second, of course, that we’ll be seeing Mega Man 3 not too far away as well. TMMN […]

We have hard modes, harder modes, special stages, and infinite stages… and by the name of Light, we can even play as Proto Man, which has been something of a mixed bag, but generally well-received. What more could Capcom possibly throw at us? That is the question, and one which may soon be answered. Or […]

Many fans have been excited to see manga writer/artist Hitoshi Ariga return to the Rockman franchise once again with his cover and interior manga preview for the Rockman 9 Arrange Album. And after the recent Inti Creates event to celebrate the launch of the album, Ariga was kind enough to let fans know that the […]

Sniffing around Youtube rarely yields great results. However, once in a blue moon I happen upon a gem that I just can’t pass up.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W_oPVMrx5g This Mega Man 9 animation features what might be one of the best stop-motion videos ever made… and all for a multimedia class! Be sure to check out this animation by […]

I don’t know the who, the where, the when, the how, or the whys of this, but since there are videos, I figured that it might be fun to share anyway. Some sprite hacking has been done on Mega Man Zero 3, enabling “other characters” to become playable. Those available are Model X, who, for […]

If you’re reading this post, you probably don’t live in Japan. But if you do live in Japan, good news for you. Nintendo will start offering a Ryuusei no Rockman 3 trial version at DS Stations on October 30th. The demo will purportedly let players experience the foundations of the battle system. And if you […]

Something awesome this way comes, if you have MegaMan Star Force 2 and access to a Nintendo DS Download station, that is. At participating stores, players will be able to BrotherBand with none other than the original Mega Man, aka “1stMegaMan,” in all of his 8-bit glory. As befits a hero of his stature, he […]

Are you ready for a CHALLENGE?? New Mega Man 9 downloadable content is hitting this week, starting with the Wii today. Capcom heard a couple of you who said that Mega Man 9 isn’t really that hard at all, so they hope to rectify that. Apparently since the technology to make old games are lost, […]

Late last night GameSpot posted an interview with MM9’s producer Hironobu Takeshita concerning the upcoming special stage and some interesting elements about the game’s development. The special stage, which releases next week, is designed to be especially challenging (and the accompanying screens do look devilish). Waiting at the end is the boss character Fake Man, […]

Our first Mega Man 9 contest went so well, we’re having another! Two, in fact! The prizes this time, however, are not a copy of the game itself, as in one case, that would simply be redundant. Instead, the most hardcore among you will get the chance to win Mega Man 9 posters, and a […]

We somehow forgot to let everyone else that… Well, you know, it came out. Our bad. Site friend GM gave us the business because we forgot about it. We’re not gonna delve too deep into that, but he let us show off his review, check it out: “About that disc with music in it… The […]

Not a lot of particular interest came out of the 2008 Tokyo Game Show where Mega Man, or as the hometown calls him, Rockman is concerned. However, the man behind the Man did show up for a special appearance on Friday to talk about a few things regarding the franchise. Regarding Rockman 9, he noted […]
