Rockman X6 Prototype Escapes Containment

Heat Man — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 18:31:33 +0000

Here’s a Sunday riddle for you all. How do you make one of the most poorly made and most weird Mega Man games even worse? By playing the unfinished version of it! Protodude’s Rockman Corner has some details on a recently leaked beta copy of the game which, among other differences, contains many sketched placeholders instead of the finished graphics and menus. There’s also a download for the prototype, so if you feel like hunting for more differences, or just want to torture yourself, have at it!

And if you want to yell at me about not recognizing what a fun game Mega Man X6 actually is, I’ll pretend to believe you!

E3′s got a lot of exciting announcements but it’s a slow day for Mega Man news. So slow that Heat grabbed me to find some scraps to post about while he’s off doing fun things.

Marvel Vs. Capcom 3: Fate of Two Worlds PlayStation 3 Gameplay – The Captain is Here!

There’s no confirmation of any Mega Man characters in the game, but it’s probably a safe bet at least one incarnation of Mega Man’s going to be in.

A Classic Rockman Take On Iris’ Death

Dramatic death scenes aren’t limited to just Zero and Iris in X4.

Check out this Rockman 9 parody of the scene, with Blues mourning the loss of Splash Woman. I have to say, I’m impressed by the quality of the art here. The video maker got the classic Rockman style down perfectly.

Coro-Coro Update: Possible X Series/Battle Network Revival?

Syl — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 20:21:11 +0000

Protodude has gotten hold of a scan from the latest Coro-Coro, which seems to give some more info about the new Rockman contest in Japan. Heat Man, the site’s translator, is in the middle of personal business right now and can’t be reached for translation, but Protodude claims that she can make out details about a possible revival of an inactive Mega Man series.

どのシリーズかは決まっていない模様。
つまり続編を出して欲しいシリーズのボスを送れば(ry

さあDASHとXに応募しようか。

Again, Heat isn’t around to translate this for us, but if Protodude is right… We could possible have a X9, Command Mission 2, or another Battle Network installment based on the characters in the picture (Legends doesn’t look like it’s getting any love, though the word “DASH” is in the text.) We’ll keep you posted.

EDIT: [4:35 EST] As shown in the comments, the quote ran through Babelfish implied what Protodude originally said, but here’s a more clear translation (Also passed along from Protodude)

“Here’s a preliminary translation of the Coro Coro character design contest courtesy of multiple people.

First and foremost the article does not outright say a series will be revived,however there is a possibility the contests pertains to a new installment in an older series. That said, Coro Coro will unveil the contest details February 13th. The judges for the contest will be Keiji Inafune, Capcom staff and editor of Coro Coro Comics.

First prize winners will have their character appear in a “new Rockman story” and receive oodles of Rockman goods. Second place winners will receive Rockman goods and a special Coro Coro item.”
