A Beautiful Day in the Mega Neighbourhood

Okay, so technically this game isn’t available on PSN yet, but I turned traitor and purchased the WiiWare version.
Oh, you know you did the very same.
Mega Man 9 roll call! Which robots have you whomped so far?
My husband and I are working together on this project, and he’s basically been the chief executioner. I’ll be […]

Your Mega Round-Up Before the Big Day

Mega Man 9 nears release! Playstation 3 owners, get equipped with September 25th.
“Oh thank God, maybe she’ll finally shut up once this is all done.”
That’s what you think, ignorant background voice!
First, IGN has a review of Mega Man 9 up. I’m going to go ahead and say it’s the first one of its kind. I’m […]

In Summation: The Mega Man Series

Hey, lookit what I wrote.
It’s a summary of the Mega Man series and why Mega Man 9 will hopefully be a fresh new start for the Bloo Bomber. It’s…pretty ironic when you think about it.
This article sent me back to some of my old fandom haunts to perform necessary Drama Control. People sure take stuff […]

Interview With a Robot Master: Keiji Inafune

1) Did Zero really “kill” the [Light] family between the events of the Classic Mega Man and X series?
KI: No, Zero did not kill them. According to the way I created him, Zero is not such a person–it is not in his profile.
And the dreams of a thousand Mega Man fanfic writers […]

A Totally Non-Biased Mega Man 8 Retrospective

The Mega Man Network has been doing YouTube recollections (”Resets”) of past Mega Man games to get our joints oiled up for Mega Man 9. Being a flagship Playstation title, Mega Man 8 is relevant to our interests. And so is this Reset.

That’s my husband narrating, so be especially nice to him. Or I’ll poke […]

Power Up With Mega Man E-Tank Energy Drinks

Capcom’s launching a marketing blitz for Mega Man 9. Aside from terrible T-shirts, aspiring Blue Bombers can expect to equip themselves with E-Tank energy drinks. If Red Bull gives you wings, E-Tanks give you Leaf Shield.
You can see why I never got into marketing.

Way Late to the Robot Party: Mega Man Anniversary Collection

My Playstation 2’s been getting a lot of exercise lately, thanks mostly to the late acquisition of Mega Man X Collection and Mega Man Anniversary Collection. I consider the latter to be vital training in these last days leading up to the release of Mega Man 9.
Oh God, what happened to my lightning-sharp reflexes? What’s […]

Own A Really Bad T-Shirt

Are you tired of relying on your “Born to Roam” wolf shirts to get you laid? Do you want something that the chicks will find equally irresistible? Well dust off the condom in your wallet because you’re about to earn the chance to buy Capcom’s Mega Man 9 T-shirt.
Really though, this is the shirt that […]

Mega Man 9 Opening: All Aboard for Nostalgia

Keiji Inafune claims he had to train and re-train Mega Man 9’s development staff to capture the 8-bit style that ruled over our childhoods. You can’t use colours and animation that didn’t exist on the NES, right?
