Remember earlier, when Capcom said “We’ve already seen that you folks really want that Mega Man Zero collection and believe me, we’re listening”? Well, as it turns out, they weren’t kidding.

Remember these guys? We brought you word of the Kubrick and BearBrick figures of Mega Man and robo-bro Proto Man back in October, but there was one small catch to getting these figures.

I’ve come to the conclusion that Heat Man has an elaborate plan to make me look like a pushy jerk-face by forcing me (at Atomic Fire-point) to plug WingDamage.com 2 days in a row. This time, Heat Man joins me and a few others on our weekly videogame podcast. Mega Man comes up in several [...]

The release of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars has finally come. While many (myself included) never thought the game would come over here, Capcom thankfully proved us wrong.
