Another decent week in releases with Sonic Chronicles: Dark Brotherhood for the DS, Silent Hill Homecoming for the 360 and PS3 and Mega Man 9 finally hits Xbox Live on Wednesday. Y’all might want to check out Bomberman Blast on the WiiWare today as well.

Bust out your Wii (don’t go there) and download some retro Mega Man action. I have been waiting to play this game for a few months now, and after giving it a go at E3, I was quickly reminded how hard some retro games can really be. Don’t kid yourself, in addition to being nostalgic, [...]

I wanted to get an update out to everyone who entered the Mega Man sketch contest. We will be reviewing the entries made before the contest deadline and deciding on a winner shortly. Thank you for entering. Chad-

In Asia they take their food and drink merchandising strategies seriously. Pop star-branded Pringles, Final Fantasy soda, you name it. This Energy Tank energy drink for Mega Man 9 is pretty much the best game-to-beverage promotion ever, though. It looks just like the Energy Tanks from Mega Man 2 onward, that fill up your entire [...]

Capcom just shot us over an email titled “Mega Man 9 Bosses Unveiled!” announcing that new images and in-game screens of three new Mega Man 9 Bosses had been added to their press site. So I rush to get them up on the site only to realize that they are the same three bosses IGN [...]

Mega Man is hard. No doubt about that. Mega Man 9, supposedly, is going to be the hardest one since the classic NES titles of yore, which is pretty fitting considering the game’s neo-retro graphical style.

Those who hunger for retro Mega Man goodness will be happy to know that Mega Man 1 hits Nintendo’s VC this Monday, and the much anticipated Mega Man 9 will be available in September. The quoted portion below is directly from the official Capcom blog. To prepare all you Mega Man fans for the release [...]

The return of Capcom’s retro blue bomber! I grew up playing Mega Man in this format, and while part of me hopes that more companies follow Capcom on their retro revival world tour, it does make me somewhat question my $500+ next gen console purchase. If so many gamers, including myself, are doing cartwheels over [...]

Famitsu drops hints about how awesome Mega Man 9 will be, including plans for downloadable content (at least in Japan). Of course, they didn’t give us even a vague idea of what that content would entail. Other details were on hand, however, so check the jump!

The official Capcom blog got an update today in the form of a fairly detailed list outlining the company’s E3 lineup. Outside of the obvious jaw droppers in RE5 and Mega Man9, I’m looking forward to getting my hands on the next gen remake of Bionic Commando. Capcom finished off the post by teasing its [...]

GoNintendo posted a video featuring footage from the upcoming Mega Man 9 WiiWare title. While I’m psyched that Mega Man is going allllllll the way back to his retro roots — graphics, sound, and all — what I personally find interesting about this video is the fact that it seems to be lifted from NicoNico [...]
