Mega Man and Proto Man to be Kubrick-afied

Tatsunoko Vs Capcom Dev Blog: Niitsuma Talks About the 4 New TvC Characters
There was an opinion from R&D that they wanted to include another character from the Mega Man series so I talked to Inafune-san. We were most careful about not letting those hardcore fans down, so we had to make something good. The attack moves that they implemented are taken a lot from th...

What Am I Fighting Fooooooorrrrr? - The Mega Man Contest
You can be dramatic. You can be humorous. You can remake the scene with startling detail, or you can put it into another context entirely. Be creative. Just reusing the original sound-byte (or Gilbertson's) isn't going to do it, unless you compensate for the recycling in some other way. Woo us,...

Mega Man Whiteboard Is A Must For Work
In most corporate jobs, people sit next to a dry-erase board filled with stats, graphs, and spreadsheet print-outs. All of my documents are stored on my laptop or 'in the cloud.' So I turned my board into a tribute to Mega Man robot masters.
Game Club: Mega Man Assignment #2
I was easy on you all last week since it was our first assignment, but for this week, I ask that you beat all the remaining robot masters (4 of them). As many of you know, the game doesn't end there, but that's a good place to pause and discuss on Monday. I've created a new sticky discussion thread f...

Unity Powers Activate! Form of Sprite Based Lego Akuma!
Motivated by Speedbrkr's Street Fighter IV sprites, I used his Akuma sprite as a model for my lego construction. After having to see all those Megaman heads or stage recreations, I took my time into creating one myself - except it happned to be a Street Fighter instead. So this is what I made.

Destructoid's Latest Memory Card Highlights Mega Man II's Giant Robo Fish
In part 1, he's selected Mega Man II. Specifically, the giant robo fish from Bubble Man's stage: It's hard to argue when the man is right: Mega Man II is a beautiful game (and possible future Capcom Unity Video Game Club contender). Check out the link below for the entire read.
Awesome Mega Man drumset and Hard Man theme
How crazy is this? Drummer Shane Wise of the Nashville-by-way-of-Vegas band Enjoy The Zoo clearly is a gigantic Mega Man nerd, as evidenced by his custom drumkit. I like the combo of classic 8-bit Mega Man stylings with oft-overlooked 16-bit Mega Man X on the kick. That's some serious Blue B...

Bright Man Finally Gets What's Coming to Him
Bright Man: one of my most hated Robot Masters of all-time. Sure, you can beat him, but his inescapable Flash Stopper attack means the battle isn't going to be pretty. Almost 20 years later, and I'm still learning juicy tricks about Mega Man. I love it!
