Been a long time since I did one of this. We are at the eve of PAX, and many things we’ve wondered about Capcom’s Mega Man Universe will be answered in a scant 24 hours. However, a small realization struck me yesterday, and Boss Man insisted I write about it. So then, here we go. [...]

Mega Man Zero Collection is finally upon us, but before you begin racing to your nearest video game store to see if they have it (well, you should really call ahead first to be safe), we are ready to help build anticipation to a fever pitch by offering the latest and the last of the [...]

Two weeks ago, Capcom Unity revealed the recollections of Mega Man Zero from four fans. And last week, a slightly-different lineup did the same thing for Mega Man Zero 2. So naturally, it only stands to reason that this next batch is about Mega Man Zero 3. You can find Protodude’s reminiscence here, while the [...]

Last week, Capcom Unity called upon the mightiest forces on the internet (and me) to peer back about a decade (give or take) and recall our thoughts on the first Mega Man Zero game for a little something our friend JGonzo likes to call “Mega Man Zero Recollections.” Jeremy Parish of 1UP, Jonathan Holmes of [...]

This preview image of Mega Man X comes from GameFan Vol. 1 issue 9. It’s been thrown around here and there, but my buddy AWD! just tossed this high quality scan at me. The issue probably came out close to the middle of 1993. From the looks of the screenshot shown the game was pretty [...]

At the end of each week, video game website Kombo likes to “get all graphical and plot out the obvious in video games in a visual fashion,” creating a series of spoof graphs and diagrams related to a particular title. This week, Matthew Green (who also runs the gaming blog Press the Buttons) has opted [...]

The month of January has passed, and that means we’re one month closer to the release of Mega Man 10. Chance are you’re getting your hopes up, because I certainly know I am. So much so, in fact, that I took the time to write down some of my biggest hopes for Mega Man 10 [...]

Over Mega Man‘s twenty-plus years in the video game business, a lot of his games have made it to the shores of North America. Heck, some have even gone to Europe. Despite this, however, there are also a number of Mega Man titles we haven’t seen, or have been held back until new opportunities had [...]

The classic 8-bit opening sequences of the Mega Man games for the Nintendo Entertainment System are some of the most memorable in video games, especially among fans.

About a week ago, Heat Man came to me and said “you know, it’s going to be the year 20XX soon. You should write something reflecting that.” And then he went and wrote his own article, so now you get two of these things. With that said, let us take a look back on the [...]

Does Mega Man 10 need someone to come to its defense? Apparently so, as IGN has elected to do the honors. Perhaps it has something to do with the fairly strong amount of apparent anti-Wii sentiment that seems to be coming from the site as of late, but with the game also appearing on Xbox [...]

Rockman EXE Operate Shooting Star, Capcom’s “plus alpha” remake of MegaMan Battle Network for the Nintendo DS, was released in Japan last week. Having had the chance to play the game and try out its new features, I’m here to give you my impression of this title. I must warn, this review contains a fair [...]
