Month: December 2008

Tired of that same old tired holiday music? Aren’t we all. Heat was actually just mentioning a radio station he was listening to wouldn’t stop playing the Dradel Song last night… Here to liven up the holiday spirit is the joy that keeps on giving: 8-bit music. Of the 18 tracks to make the list, […]

Now if only we could find the answer to making the sequels we want, like X9 and Legends 3. Mega Man 9 was a fluke. Source: Dueling Analogs :: Acquired Learning TMMN Staff

In yet another one of his many opportunities to talk with Mega Man Producer Keiji Inafune (come on, share the wealth!), 1up’s James Mielke talks to the Man behind the Mega about numerous Capcom topics, including what fans might expect from the Blue Bomber franchise. Among the noteworthy parts: KI: [Mega Man] has been revived […]

This image from the Capcom-Unity blog’s whiteboard would certainly indicate Capcom USA is planning to sell the Rockman 9 Original Soundtrack on their online store. Since it’s the Rockman 9 soundtrack (as opposed to the Mega Man 9 soundtrack), it seems the albums will just be imports, and not translated for western buyers. Nevertheless, Capcom […]

Indeed they do. Ok, I’m jumping the proverbial December 17th gun a little bit, but technically it’s already the 17th in the East. That’s right, our beloved Mega Man / Rockman has turned 21. Mega Man’s 20th year came with some big surprises, with Mega Man 9’s true return to the classic roots, and Ryuusei […]

There’s been a lot of discussion about a new Rockman title in the works lately. Unfortunately, it’s a lot of discussion based on smoke. I haven’t seen much of anything that proves the accuracy of what’s been going around, including small snippets taken from Japanese gaming magazines. First of all we have this image that’s […]

I think we can all agree that the Robot Masters in a Mega Man game play a big role in how well that game is regarded. Gaming analyst Sean Malstrom has a pretty lengthy article which seeks to rank each Robot Master from the first eight Mega Man titles and see if the strength of […]

For years, Capcom has invited the fans of Rockman to take part in the creative process of the franchise by hosting numerous contests for boss character designs. And as revealed by the new Coro Coro magazine, it seems that the tradition is set to continue. According to COCOROG, the newest issue of Coro Coro Comics […]

For those with no plans to import nor hopes of the title ever coming to the US of A, one kind soul has uploaded at least two of the endings to Tatsunoko vs. Capcom to YouTube. So, spoilers, obviously. Well, kind of. Here’s Roll’s. And here’s MegaMan Volnutt’s. …I really have somewhere between “little” and […]

This clip has been making the rounds a bit lately, and I just wanted to give it a proper display here for those who might not have seen it. Mega Man has never had the strongest TV commercial presence here in North America. While magazine ads have been plentiful, and Japanese TV commercials, many of […]

For as long as Mega Man has been around, there have been certain questions, certain bright ideas about how things are done. Things like “why not put those instant-kill spikes everywhere?” or “why not make a Robot Master completely out of Mettaur metal?” And while some of these topics have been tackled before in some […]

Fairly standard Tatsunoko vs. Capcom update, with one exception: This time, we’ve got the opening for the Wii version, which of course features none other than the Legend-ary MegaMan Volnutt himself, as well as the original Roll: Tatsunoko vs. Capcom Wii Opening If I had to guess, it looks like the Capcom characters are fighting […]
