This weekend in Baltimore, Maryland, from Friday, July 30th to Sunday, August 1st, will be Otakon. And what has become a part of the annual Otakon experience for many a Mega Man/Rockman fan is the gathering of like-minded individuals known affectionately as “OtaRockman.” Each year, a fans tend to converge for cosplay photos and Mega [...]

It sounds like Comic-Con has been pretty overwhelming for Keiji Inafune, at least according to his own blog.* At yesterday’s “Capcom 2010 and Beyond” discussion panel, the hall, which can house up to 2500 people, was fully packed. Inafune was astonished by the strong showing of Capcom fans support, which he again notes he doesn’t [...]

Yet more good news for you Rockman figure fanatics. Online figure blog/buyer deputy Tokyo Hunter has some neat custom Rockman DASH (Mega Man Legends) figures created by doujin figure circle Sorairo. There are two sets, one with MegaMan Volnutt and Data, and the other with Tron Bonne and a Servbot. The Volnutt and Servbot figures [...]

In action figure collecting, there are some figures and packages which are released of “characters” (and I use the term loosely) who are relatively generic, thus allowing consumers to buy multiples of the same figure in order to flesh out large platoons. These are known as “army builders,” and can yield some rather impressive displays. [...]

Certainly, the characters of MegaMan Volnutt and Classic Roll already have art for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, but nothing says they can’t get a little more. And that’s precisely what can now be found on the official Japanese Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars website. Shinkiro has granted the duo new pics that can now be toggled [...]

The other night, we were hanging around on IRC when Heat Man posted the following video from Rockman DASH 2, noting of Tiesel Bonne that “his Japanese voice doesn’t have nearly as much appeal.” Tabby agreed, saying “no one can do Tiesel better then his English VA.” This inspired me to dig up a little [...]

If you’ve played the MegaMan Legends series, you know that MegaMan Volnutt isn’t the only MegaMan around. There was MegaMan Juno, who ended up being the primary enemy of the first title. Furthermore, we find out that the titular MegaMan had originally assumed the identity MegaMan Trigger. (Don’t gripe to me about spoilers, you guys [...]

I saw this on the Capcom*Unity forums a couple of weeks ago, and didn’t really think much of it; it seemed like the same ol’, same ol’ to me. But since it seems to be picking up and spreading, I figured I might as well share it with you all. User “John Rambo” put the [...]

The latest issue of Famitsu contained a reader survey of which game series people want most. And wouldn’t you know it, of the fifty games included in the list, both Rockman DASH and Rockman X landed on the list. In fact, they placed fairly high, with Rockman DASH coming in 7th and Rockman X coming [...]

How can there be any doubt that this man loves MegaMan Legends? Just watch this video promotion for Toron ni Kobun, better known here as The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, and watch how he holds that Servbot doll. See how protective he is over it? He wants no one near it, and understandably so. You [...]

Well, it seems that our worst fears have come true: Grizzled photojournalist Frank West is indeed ready, willing, and able to dress up like a 14-year old girl with a monkey on his sleeve. On the bright side, you’re unlikely to come across this haunting visage by accident. The discovery was made by Mirage86 on [...]

This would be a picture perfect example of being careful of what you wish for. Or, at least, how you wish for it. I’ve been clear before that I hope Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop for the Wii would have a Mega Man costume, just as the Xbox 360 version did. Unfortunately, if this [...]

I honestly do believe that Mega Man Legends 3 is poised to be, well, the next Mega Man 9. Sure it wouldn’t have the convenience of being inexpensive to produce and downloadable, and it’s not the only Mega Man series fans are clamoring for a return of. However, I do believe it’s the most sought [...]

How funny it is that so soon after posting a variety of MegaMan Legends/Rockman DASH commercials, Protodude should come across this? As he describes it: In 1997, V Jump magazine distributed an exclusive VHS previewing seven upcoming games. Rockman DASH was one of the main featurettes, giving viewers a three minute preview of what to [...]
