During the dark eight-year period between Mega Man 10 and Mega Man 11, the franchise went through a series of cancellations. Maverick Hunter, Mega Man Universe, Legends 3, and Mega Man Online have been the only ones made public so far. We'v...

The Mega Man series hosted some kick ass anime cutscenes, particularly during the original PlayStation era. Not all of them had great English dubs, but I appreciate that studios went through the effort to animate cutscenes for video ga...

Every hardcore Mega Man fan knows the story behind the elusive Wily Wars. Originally released in specific regions in cart form, it served as a compiled version of the first three games, very much like the SNES Ninja Gaiden Trilogy...

The Mega Man pachinko machine, Rockman Ability, arrived in Japan last year and it's been the talk of the town, as it's one of the first complete overhauls of the Mega Man aesthetic in years.  As a reminder Ability includes ne...

When the Capcom Home Arcade hardware was announced I kind of glossed over several entries on the game list. Okay so a few like Final Fight and Street Fighter II: Hyper Fighting are completely expected. Capcom wants to parade the classics ar...

So as some of you more hardcore Mega Man fans may know, if you pre-ordered Mega Man 11 under certain circumstances, you were given the "Wily Numbers Instrumental Stage Tracks" DLC as part of your purchase. It basically allows you to swap in...

There's no shortage of Mega Man figures in the wild, but there is a distinct lack of more affordable ones. Totaku is aiming to rectify that with their newest toy: a Mega Man 11-themed joint that's due in May. For reference, Totaku figures a...

If you haven't heard of Mega Man Maker yet and lamented the loss of the actual official Mega Man Universe (man could you imagine if this came out? People would probably still be playing it), you should probably download it ri...

Back in 1994, Ruby-Spears Productions teamed up with Capcom and created a now-infamous Mega Man cartoon. Plagued with animation quality concerns, campy dialogue and wide-reaching themes from the games the series is now an oddity of sorts (e...

Yesterday saw the release of a glut of amazing review scores for the metal masterpiece that is Devil May Cry 5. The latest entry in the adventures of Dante, Nero and co. received top marks from many fine establishments and Destructoid, leav...

As I've said several times in the past, Mega Man: Fully Charged isn't a bad show. It's decidedly aimed at a younger audience but some of the arcs are worth following and there's plenty of tasteful old school references tucked away in there ...

Capcom is dragging out the mostly dead Mega Man Legends franchise in costume form, providing a Roll Caskett (the Legends incarnation of the Roll character) outfit for Street Fighter V's Sakura. Ryu is also joining i...

This should be a sweet melody to plenty of ears: Capcom has made it rather easy to listen to a ton of its music Capcom recently bolstered its Spotify presence by adding (by my count) 61 albums' worth of official soundtracks and arrangements...

For years I waited for a Mega Man revival, and Capcom delivered with Mega Man 11. It wasn't just nominal, either: I really enjoyed 11 and thought that it served as a great jumping off point for newcomers while simultaneously prese...

Mega Man is pretty mega, this is true. He's often adopted by various agencies for his services (like Red Bull, which was innocuous outside of this killer art) but now he's been commissioned by...the Osaka police force?! Yep, according to th...

Revealed by way of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's latest patch, the new Spirit Event is...Mega Man themed! A lot of the spirits are Mega Man incarnations, rivals and Robot Masters you've seen before (like Mega Man Volnutt or Bass) b...

In the primordial days before your mom was on the internet, we grew up in fear of the other. In the '80s and '90s, we frequently spoke of the mist-shrouded land across the ocean that controlled most of the games we played. Whether we discus...

While we aren't 100% sure how Mega Man 11 did sales-wise outside of its first week in Japan, Capcom is seemingly happy with how it turned out critically (it was even up for awards at some outlets).  That could translate to a full-...

[Update: The Giga Mission crew states that Capcom has taken the trailer down for unknown reasons. We've asked Capcom for comment on the situation and will report back if we hear more.] YouTube user Ácido Cinza managed to kick of...

When my positive review of Mega Man 11 dropped, there were sighs of relief, gasps of disbelief, and memes. The most prevalent in the latter category was definitely the fixation on Mega Man's new boss door animation. You see, in the pas...

Mega Man: Fully Charged, the program that was rumored to premiere under the Disney XD banner but eventually went with Cartoon Network, is in a precarious situation. Right now there's a lengthy hiatus after just a handful of episodes, though...

Back in 2015 the Mega Man Legacy Collection, which contains Mega Man 1-6, was released on PC, PS4, Xbox One, and 3DS. It was a small hit as it signified that the Blue Bomber was back, eventually leading to more Legacy Collection releas...

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...
