Capcom Teases More Mega Man

Mega Man has held a special place in gaming for me since I first played Mega Man 1 back in the day.  At first, I thought the game was easy…until I fought the level boss.  It was then that I realized there was going to be some strategy involved in this seemingly normal side scroller.  I was hooked. Mega Man 6 has just released on the 3DS virtual console, and there are are more planned for the...

Christian Svensson, Capcom Senior VP, and Brett Elston, Capcom Community Manager, told Nintendo Power that they plan on bringing all six of the NES Mega Man titles...

Captain N: The Game Master

remember a time when Saturday morning was meant for cartoons?  We would wake up eager to turn on the TV and Veg out in front of the animated awesomeness of the day!  Once a year they would run a half hour to an hour long preview of the upcoming new cartoons as well as the returning favorites.  I remember sitting at my Friend Mike’s house and seeing the preview for Captain N: The Game Master....

The most comfortable power up ever

It was always an excellent moment in Mega Man when you stumbled across the coveted energy canister, and now you can relive that moment again and again on your couch, bed, floor—whatever. Surely, some enterprising retail firm will import this beauty from Japan. Surely.

What if… Mega Man Universe was this?

It’s a pretty interesting example of what we believe Mega Man Universe might be so I thought I’d share it with the rest of you. Also, Ryu would be the the hardest boss in Mega Man history if this was real.
