Mega Man

By Mike Fahey The Kubrick/Bearbrick Mega Man set is actually a Rockman set, but I figured our North American readers might know him better by his bastardized name. Rockman looks vaguely pissed to be packaged alongside a clear blue Rockman fan-bear, but such is his lot in life. Not even swapping out his he...

By Owen Good The get-up was built by an Adafruit Wave Shield user, connecting the gadget to an Arduino system. I know none of what that means, really, but it allows for the motion-activated sounds. And the soundtrack of course is customizable. So you can bet your bippy someone's dreaming up a Mega Man vers...

By Brian Crecente Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom, with its colorful cast of Capcom characters and throwbacks from Japanese animation company Tatsunoko productions, is almost more about over-the-top and fun fights than it is about skill and tactics. Almost.

By Owen Good From the Mega Man continuity, it's Zero - from Mega Man X, or Rockman X since we're deferring to the Japanese titling here. Zero's official announcement for the North American localization of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom confirms a rumor about a month old. IGN got the exclusive reveal earlier today...

By Owen Good Acclaimed short-story writer and poet Raymond Carver died today. He was an influential force in American literature and an all around mega man. You know who else is a mega man?

By Owen Good As for HRH Hippo, I thought that 200-pounds-of-suet physique looked familiar.

By Brian Crecente At a screening of his latest game last week, Capcom's famed developer Keiji Inafune, the man behind such hits as Mega Man, Onimusha and Dead Rising, warned that Japanese game development has one foot in the grave. But then Inafune said that his latest game is proof that Japan can stay releva...

By Owen Good As reported by Destructoid, Capcom's Keiji Inafune - a development fixture going back to the original Mega Man - was unimpressed by the games being shown on the TGS floor. Except for Capcom's of course. Keiji Inafune Dumps on Tokyo Game Show 2009 [Destructoid, via VG247]

By Brian Ashcraft Bungie, Inafune says, is an "amazing studio", and he was curious how Bungie made its titles to see if Capcom could ever add some of that je-ne-sais-pas to Capcom games.

By Luke Plunkett A retro-themed Mega Man 9 is a surprising move by Capcom! You know what's less surprising? The news the game won't just be appearing on Nintendo's WiiWare service.

By Luke Plunkett When you think Capcom, you think a couple of decades worth of good times. Street Fighter, Resident Evil, Mega Man...good times.

By Michael McWhertor And, hey, not a bad debut for the Xbox 360 version of Assassin's Creed. The PS3 version doesn't hit Japan for over a month, so we'll see if Sony fans help it chart well then, too. The following represent sales from November 26th to December 2nd.
