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.
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. Instead, they preferred to see where […]
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. While only a handful of these are Rockman related, this one in particular caught my eye. It’s not technically to […]
Marvelous!!
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!

Rock Brother
The tale of Rockman’s long lost older bro who left home mysteriously never to return …and I don’t mean Blues.
It’s Quint’n Time!
The “Spring forward” of daylight savings left me a bit jet-lagged yesterday. Our annual one-hour leap into the future inspired me to take a look at another time-displaced character. You know him, you’re confused by him (and he’s just as confused himself): It’s Quint! Quint HP 500 81. The Rockman of the future, remodeled by […]
The Adorable Mobi-chan Girl
Earlier we heard Dr. Right explaining the origins of Capcom’s arcade mini-mascot, and just this week we saw Mobi-chan hanging out in the Capcom Secret Laboratory report on Rockman 2: The Power Fighters (which incidentally, Mobi-chan appears in as bonus item). Now check out Mobi-chan as you’ve never seen before: unmasked to reveal a cute […]
