Month: March 2011

Kotobukiya is prepping another Rockman themed in-store event, the Spring Rock 2011 exhibition, on April 29th. They’ll be selling the usual assort of Rockman model kits and goods, including a limited supply of Mega Man branded kits and badges, for whatever strange reason. I think the big pull, however, will be a display of the […]

Last week, we here at The Mega Man Network celebrated ten years of Mega Man Battle Network with a few words and a glimpse back at some of what came over the course of those ten years. And today, Capcom has joined in the fun of celebrating their own franchise with what can only be […]

After months of not hearing anything of the title, and after Capcom of Japan removed it from their front page, the company has officially announced that development of Mega Man Universe has ceased, due to “various circumstances.” There is no word if development may pick up again, and considering the amount of profuse apologizing to […]

Volume 266 of Nintendo Power magazine, the April 2011 issue, is now reaching newsstands and subscribers alike, and it features a nice selection of goodness for Blue Bomber fans. The first item of note is the results from the online poll for which Mega Man X boss has the worst name. Optic Sunflower would be […]

Fans of Mega Man who have wished to see their favorite Blue Bomber engage in some fantastic fisticuffs have found themselves disappointed over the past few years. Sure, MegaMan Volnutt got to make his fighting game debut in last year’s Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars, but when it came time for Marvel vs. Capcom 3‘s […]

A travel-worn man approaches you. You’ve been living underneath the shadows of lies, he says. But, he is ready to illuminate your vision. Illuminate it with truth. Do you follow this man on his journey of enlightenment? Nonsensical stories aside, here is the latest Megacast. It’s a little late I’ll admit, but it’s our longest […]

Adding to our previous details of the new Rockman Zero Collection soundtrack, Inti Creates’ page for the album is finally up. No samples yet, but we do now know what tracks to expect. I’ve added what games/albums they come from next to the names: Cyberelf in Resonance (Zero 1) For Endless Fight in Resonance (Zero […]

Following the tragic recent events in Japan, illustrator Ben Bates (whose work for the upcoming Mega Man comic from Archie can be seen on the Villain Variant cover here) has decided to team with his colleagues from Periscope Studio to auction off a series of pictures in order to raise money for the relief efforts. […]

After Ippo Yamada confirmed a Rockman Zero album in the works last week, it’s been officially announced over at e-Capcom today. The full, official name is “Rockman Zero Collection Soundtrack Kyoumei -resonnant vie-” or resonant life (which both kyoumei and resonant vie mean). It will release on April 21st (the 30th on e-Capcom) for ¥2,000 […]

The release of the first issue of Archie’s Mega Man comic will soon be upon us. Have you subscribed yet? Don’t forget, doing so allows you to get a free autographed poster, signed by artist Patrick Spaziante. But perhaps you are hesitant to subscribe for some reason or another. Maybe you aren’t sure whether Archie […]

Thanks to the current generation of consoles and handhelds (not to mention iPhones and other devices), downloadable gaming has seen a definite boom, with many classic and niche titles hopping on board to take advantage of the benefits this cost-effective method of video game distribution can provide. And while some are exclusive to certain platforms, […]

Ever since LittleKuriboh introduced the world to Yu-gi-oh: The Abridged Series, numerous others have sought to duplicate his comedic efforts in just about anything to require voice dubbing (usually Japanese stuff). Dragon Ball Z, Digimon, and many others, perhaps too numerous to name, have been parodied by those who know not to take these things […]
