R3’s Alt Ad Art
My scheduled update is taking too long, so here’s something small but fun to tide you over. It’s an advert for Rockman 3 that ran in Japanese gaming magazines in 1990. As a point of interest, it actually uses an alternate version of the Japanese box art.
Back In Action!
For some strange reason, people don’t seem to be taking my last post very seriously. Does everyone think it’s a joke or something? Weird. Well, if you guys feel so strongly about it that you’ll keep yourselves in denial like this, I guess I’ll play along. The Lav lives! MEGA thanks to Amie, Bryn, Katie, […]
Out of Order
Hey everyone. I’ve got some good news, and some bad news.
Who is Soul Battler Takeshi?
If you picked up the Mega Man Battle Network Official Complete Works book, you may have noticed this guy hanging out at the bottom of page 112. If you don’t remember him from any of the games, there’s a good reason why!
Developer’s Adventure Story in Halcyon days
Back in the fall of 1997, the first 3D polygon-built Rockman game had finally settled on a name: Rockman DASH. The project had originally been dubbed Rockman NEO, but just like its spin-off predecessor Super Rockman had evolved into Rockman X, Capcom had never settled on the NEO title.

The Riddle of Dr. Wily
Your Friday art is from Carddas’ All Capcom World ’98 series. This set spanned 186 cards featuring artwork for what were then some of Capcom’s latest games, as well as classic arcade and console titles.

Marvel vs Capcom’s been out for a while now. For those who play, how’s your game shaping up? Developing those killer combos and strategies? Quite frankly, my skill level is probably average. Until we get a third Rockman character, my mains are typically (you guessed it) Zero, Tron and Servbot #42. Speaking of adding a […]
EXE Turns Ten!
Today (March 21, 2011) is the 10th anniversary of the Rockman EXE series in Japan. And because all the cool kids are doing it, I thought I’d join in the celebration too.
Forsaken Future Fridays

This is just an announcement about some of the recent less-noticeable updates going on at the Lav. First, The Source has been getting some steady updates of late. If you haven’t checked it out lately, something new has probably been added. Not sure how much longer I ought to keep it all one page like […]
