By Luke Plunkett Mega Man, meanwhile, is a little more complicated. See, Mega Man 9 has only just been released on the PSN in Japan, and to help kick things along, Capcom are running a competition. You win the competition, you get a copy of Rockman: Complete Works, which is a compendium of Mega Man 1-6.

By AJ Glasser Surprisingly, there's more than just Street Fighter in this lineup of fan-made Capcom wallpapers. Mega Man, Duck Tales and Lost Planet feature prominently plus some games I'm not even sure I can name. Custom Capcom iPhone/iPod Touch Wallpapers [Capcom]

By Michael McWhertor Sources claiming to have already played that game told us about their experience with the title, a side-scrolling shooter likened to classics Super Metroid and Mega Man X, a mash up of genres that's a 2.5D platformer. Card has said in the past that the game will focus on the Battle Room simula...

Berkman also maintains a fascination with what he calls "absurd things — bargain bin VHS tapes, public access TV shows" – and says the juxtaposition between the sounds of an old Nintendo and updated, upbeat rock music is "another one of those absurd, surreal things that shouldn't work, b...

By Mike Fahey The Kotaku Robot Wars continue on the other side of the world, as Osaka Japan and Canberra Australia are reduced to steaming piles of rubble and broken robot parts...but whose broken robot parts? Results So Far Tune in tomorrow for the epic conclusion of the Kotaku Robot Wars!

By Mike Fahey Mega Man VS. HK-47 Mega Man: 60% (2676 votes) HK-47: 40% (1798 votes) Winner: Mega Man Using its powerful randomly running around ability, Crecente's R2-D2 robot picked Optimus Prime, Kos-Mos, Mega Man, and Fruit Fucker 2000. So both the robot team and the human team had the same picks.

By AJ Glasser We have one, in fact, and his name is Mega Man. Mega Man does most of the same stuff as Astro Boy – he even has the beam cannon on his arm – and he beat Tezuka's beloved boy robot to the US gaming scene by a good decade or more. He may not be as fleshed-out a character as Astro Boy, because Mega Man didn't...

By Mike Fahey A nuclear explosion has whittled down our list of thirty-five video game robots to a mere eight, their ultimate fate resting in the hands of our readers, a real-life robot, and random chance. Capcom's blue bomber materializes on the streets of San Francisco, immediately spying what is ob...

By Mike Fahey The interspatial beacon high atop Kotaku tower has harnessed the power of our latest obsession, forging a temporal reality scoop that is gathering robots from throughout the history of gaming to do battle across the globe. From Optimus Prime to Mega Man, Chrono Trigger's Robo to Disgaea...

By Brian Ashcraft This week here at Kotaku Tower is a very special week — ROBOT WEEK. Robots are great. We love robots. I love robots. I named one of my family members after a robot. That's not a joke. That's me being dead serious. You can tell it by the way I typed it — dead serious like.

By Brian Ashcraft He's blue and sports an plasma-shooting arm cannon. He's Mega-Man — aka "Rockman" in Japan. Designed by Keiji Inafune, the character debuted in 1987 in truly horrible localized box art. The game was hard, the music was great, and the robot was and still is fantastic. Pic]

By Michael McWhertor Vanguard Storm may not look like your standard "tower defense" title, with a battlefield and multi-tiered plane system that looks more like a Mega Man Battle Network game than the maze one expects to see when protecting exits from netherworldly creatures.

By Mike Fahey Hooray, Mega Man hits the Nintendo Wii this week! *scans release list excitedly* Oh wait. It's just Mega Man. No Mega Man 9 with Splashwater Falls Woman. Mega Man (NES, 500 points) is nice and all, but I've played it a couple thousand times now and am ready to move on. Oh well, at least we've still g...

By Owen Good The Megamanathon will likely last into Sunday, Willingham said. They started with original Mega Man, and have been drawing titles out of a hat at random. They're playing the Mega Man Anniversary Collection and Mega Man X Collection on a Wii, using a HORI Digital GameCube pad. You can follow t...

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. Really, why would Capcom turn down free money? Turns out the game's also destined for the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Ar...

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. But which of those series has brought us the best times? Who knows. That's a subjective question. One you could, however, try and answer by seeing how many people bought...

By Brian Ashcraft Earlier, I appeared on the Bionic Commando podcast and rambled on about pointless things and got in an argument with some Capcom dude. Good times. The official word from Capcom is that the podcast I appeared on is the second most downloaded BC podcast. The first is where the team discussed Bio...

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.

By Michael McWhertor It may not have the allure of a new character announcement, say, Mega Man or Bubbles from Clu Clu Land, but I'm sure there are many Super Smash Bros. fans looking forward to inputting a series of Friend Codes in the Wii version. The Smash Bros. Dojo writes today of the exciting, and quite expecte...

By Michael McWhertor Guess what Japan likes? Dragon Quest, obviously, as the Nintendo DS remake of DQIV moved over a half-million copies in its debut week. The slime-ridden adventure is just one of many new games to chart this week. In fact, nine of the top ten are all brand new games, with only Mario Party DS makin...

By Michael McWhertor The PlayStation 2 showed the Wii who's the boss of Japan this week, at least in terms of Konami' s Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball sales. The PS2 version trounced the Wii's by a factor of three, proving that baseball and PlayStation still matter to the Japanese. Nintendo had the last laugh, of c...

By Michael McWhertor Capcom dropped word with us today that the PC version of its third-person shooter Lost Planet will be getting a feature rich update next week. The July 20th update, an automatic patch, will add Mega Man, Dead Rising's Frank West and Joe from Lost Planet as playable characters. In addition, t...

Video game music cover bands are a dime a dozen. Regurgitating NES tunes with the standard guitar-bass-drums set up was cute when the Advantage and the Minibosses did it, but now, now it's just bordering on sad. That's why when someone writes rapid-fire lyrics and actually sings the melody...

By Michael McWhertor Mega Man remake watchers are well aware of last year's Mega Man Powered Up for the PSP, which saw a hyper-cute Blue Bomber take out Dr. Wily again... for the first time. Critically lauded but commercially 'meh', Mega Man Powered Up featured two new Robot Masters in Oil Man and Time Man. Will this be...
