Ever wonder why there are three Cars films? Merch. Although the $462 million worldwide gross of the first Cars movie wasn't a monumental hit by Disney standards, the toys were another story (ha). That line, completely separate from the medi...

As most Cartoon Network viewers know, they're all over the place with scheduling and mid-season breaks (heck, just breaks in general). Sometimes a show will be super-hyped for months and then burned off in weeks, only to pop up months later...

Man that above key art rocks. I mean, I'd play a game where that was a power-up. What's it for? Well, it's a little less exciting than a new Mega Man entry: it's a Red Bull promo. Yep in Japan the little guy is teaming up with Red Bull...

The always rockin' Rockman Corner managed to snag an interview with Mega Man 11 producer Kazuhiro Tsuchiya, which contains all sorts of juicy tidbits regarding the creation of the revival and why the team made the choices they did. Whi...

For the past few months we've been diligently following any news of a potential Mega Man X revival (the last major release was Mega Man X8 in 2004), and so far the chances for one are actually pretty good.  In addition to sev...

Following in the footsteps of Fire Emblem last week, Mega Man is now the second franchise to have another arrangement revealed for the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Following an old habit of the franchise, the new arrangement has gon...

[Adzuken gave the Destructoid community the chance to create a list of hypothetical robot masters for the next Mega Man entry, and the results are pretty damn fun. I'm especially enamored with Sandwich Man, due to their willingness to shine...

Pretty much ever retro gamer knows it: the less-than-thirty-second ditty of the Mega Man X title screen is pretty much etched in my memory at this point. It seems like it was also rattling around in the head of Jon Batiste, the mu...

It was made pretty clear that the new Mega Man cartoon, Fully Charged, was aiming for a young audience. Having watched the episodes available so far: yep, I can confirm that, and the show is actually a little better than I initially thought...

The first gaming related article I ever wrote was a Bomb Man boss guide in 1998 for a fan site I created with a friend. That evolved into tips for every boss in the series, and slowly but surely, my collection of Mega Man games gr...

Mega Man players are some of the most eagle-eyed fans in the industry. They saw the writing on the wall for Mega Man 11 before it was announced by way of a Block Man outfit that seemed like a throwaway/unused piece of concept art, and ...

Back in 2017 it was casually revealed that Masayori Oka (of Heroes fame) was still the producer a live action Mega Man movie. Script work had already began, and Oka spoke about how hard it was to adapt "game mechanics" to fil...

You don't have to read much of my work to know that I'm extremely interested in game preservation. Part of that involves keeping older hard copies of games alive, but another aspect is strictly historical. This 1997 unearthed interview rega...

Beating a classic Mega Man game came with its own special reward: the ability to revel in your enemy's defeat. After finishing off the last incarnation of whatever vehicle Dr. Wily cooked up on that particular occasion, he would beg fo...

Takara Tomy launched their Rockman Figure Collection line back in 2017, and vowed to eventually release more toys. Well that day has come: as Rockman Corner points out, the new wave actually debuted at TGS for sale in January 2019, and will...

Capcom and iam8bit have finally released their reproduction carts of both Mega Man 2 and Mega Man X. Announced earlier in the year with a production run of 8,500 units each, you can now grab both games for $100 a pop. Mega Man 2 will come i...

One way Capcom has always done right by the Mega Man series is merch. It didn't matter what the status of any given series or subseries was: at any point in the franchise's 30 year history, there was oodles of merch, much of which was ...

Capcom revealed Devil May Cry 5 at E3 this year, seemingly out of the blue, and since that announcement, it's been pumping up fans at every major trade show around the world. It was first playable at gamescom, then PAX, and now it's go...

Two new robot masters have been revealed for Mega Man 11. Rockman will be battling against the likes of "Acid Man" and "Tundra Man" as he takes on eight brand new robot masters before an inevitable showdown with Dr. Wily. This new TGS 2018 ...

[Update: As Rockman Corner points out the issue is now on sale at newsstands in Japan and on Amazon JP as an import. At the latter marketplace it'll run you roughly $15 with shipping.] Mega Man 11 is getting yet another tie-in/lead-in ...

Perhaps the most noteworthy thing about Rockman Ability, the new Mega Man-themed Pachislot game hitting Japan, is the art style. Not only does it have original Robot Masters, it also completely re-imagines Dr. Light and Dr. Wily. While a lo...

The big five-oh has arrived and in today's episode of Pregame Discharge, Lyle somehow manages to squeeze out one more straight to your news orifices that feature the following: Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles is getting remastered! Mega ...

Tater-Tot Tunes has low key been putting out some great 8-bit game music remixes since 2007, and their most recent piece: Block Man's stage from Mega Man 11, caught my attention. Originally composed by Marika Suzuki (sound designer at ...

Capcom has just announced that a demo for Mega Man 11 is available on the eShop right freakin now! What was likely to be announced during today's cancelled Nintendo Direct, the demo will be heading to PS4 and Xbox One tomorrow for those wit...

It sure is nice having a reason to genuinely care about Mega Man again. Fans have gone through countless ups and downs over the decades with core games, subseries, spin-offs, and questionable mobile adaptations. When Capcom hits the mark, M...
