BANG!
Your free pic this week is an original piece from the Capcom design team done for their first Rockman arcade title, Rockman The Power Battle. This was the largest version of the image I could find. It appeared in CAP! Vol 12. The red rectangle on the left is from overlaid text. Not sure about […]
Maps
Your pic this week is even more RockBoard! This is the official art for the four stages you play on, from the RockBoard Manual. Fans of global geography will surely recognize that these maps were based on the real continents (and one country) of Africa, the United States, Antarctica, and South America. Or, as the […]
The Board That Rocked
Capcom’s first non-action video game starring Rockman came out in January of 1993. How do you sell a Rockman game that’s completely unlike a Rockman game? If you’re Capcom, you do it like this.
Zero: Drawn to Battle
So, any of you guys excited about Marvel vs Capcom 3? I’ve never been huge into fighting games, but I really got into Tatsunoko vs Capcom last year, and now I’m totally looking forward to kicking some butt with Zero and Tron. Apparently their character endings have already hit the net, so those looking for […]
The Weird, Wild & Whimsical World of “Rock & Rush”
The Capricious Rock & Rush is the comic series drawn by Capcom’s accidental manga artist, Sakura. These and his other works have appeared in various Capcom books, fan club magazines and promotional materials, and were even included as unlockable art in the gallery of the PS1 Rockman ports (soon to be available on the PSN!) […]
Mecha On Parade
One more big group shot from the Capcom Design Works book: Featured (if you can find them!) are Rockman, X, Zero, and even some Kobuns!
All Aboard the CFC Express!
Time for another Friday mash-up! Your free pic this week is the commencement image from the CFC Style Fan-Book‘s first issue. You may have seen it already in the Mega Man Official Complete Works book but it was printed rather small there, making it hard to enjoy all the fun details. Here is the image […]
Friday Pile Up!!
Your free pic this week originally hails from promotional material for the obscure game Quiz Capcom World! This one stars many Capcom heroes and characters from the 80’s. Mega Man’s hanging out in the upper left corner, admiring the different Capcom aircrafts with a charming child-like sense of wonder. Pretty different from how Mega Man […]
The Power of Love
There’s less than a week left in the year, so let’s end the year with love, memories, and joy! Not mine, but someone else’s. From the pages of CAP! magazine comes Love Love Capcom Characters! Hideki Ishikawa draws some of his favorite Capcom faces. Naturally, there’s some Rockman love in there too! So snuggle up […]
Peace on Earth? Ill Will Between Robots!
Because some some friends of mine agreed, we need more Terra! Rockman vs Earth 202. You may have defeated me once, but you won’t defeat me again! Enjoy your holiday break!
