So February rolls around…

Written by #20 on 2010/02/13 Saturday — Leave a Comment

Why is it sooo haaard to update a blog? Well, I probably have Tatsunoko vs Capcom to blame for that. I’ve never played a fighting game online before, it’s very addicting (in addition to a few other choice words that I’ll leave to your imagination). So, what’s been going on? Mega Man 10 bosses and […]

Robot Fever

Written by #20 on 2009/12/10 Thursday — Leave a Comment

Just something I was mulling over in my head. For those yet unspoiled, Mega Man 10’s story concept involves our heroes battling against a robot virus called Robotenza, the etymology of which I suppose would be Robot+Influenza.

I’ve been busy lately, though as you can tell, it was not busy working on this blog. I’ll be trying to get into the “regular update” mode again soon.

A Little Something for Voully

Written by #20 on 2009/06/29 Monday — 1 Comment

For a certain old friend of mine that got in touch with me again recently, and is a huge fan of Mega Man Legends. Thumbing through the archives of u-Capcom (which I’ve been going over before the end-of-June close, just in case some content disappears), I found a random trivia bit that I wasn’t familiar […]

Bye Bye, u-Capcom

Written by #20 on 2009/06/19 Friday — 1 Comment

Might not matter too much to non-Japanese readers, but u-Capcom, Capcom Japan’s official fan site, will be closing up shop at the end of the month. I hope the site stays there and they just stop updating it, since it’s a gold mine for obscure Rockman knowledge. Among other draws, it was a place where […]

Megamix and Bondman

Written by #20 on 2009/06/16 Tuesday — Leave a Comment

I’ve been reading a lot from Japan lately about the new Megamix compilations. The most interesting thing I’ve read so far has to do with the “Rockman Tanjou Densetsu,” or Rockman Creation Legend section where Ariga and Inafune discuss the behind-the-scenes secrets surrounding Rockman’s birth. One interesting story about the first Rockman game is that […]

Ciel would be proud

It’s not quite what Nakayama designed, but this real life flower-shaped power plant certainly feels like something right out of the Zero/ZX series. It doesn’t run on Cyber Elves or Energen Crystals, but instead utilizes the Dr. Light’s energy of choice, solar power. Check it out!

Vile Mk-0 to build space colony

I’m probably the last one to know about this. If not, maybe one of you reading this is. NASA’s got a Robo-Fett working for them. Almost makes me wish I’d followed up on that whole “I wanna be an astronaut!” thing when I was a kid. Oh, well. They say it’s based on the Roman […]
