Glyde’s Favorite Subject: Glyde!
Today we got a bit more news on the Legends 3 Prototype Version! The 3DS store should be pretty close to opening, and anticipation for our first hands-on from the project is really building up! And if that isn’t enough DASH for ya, today we’ll be looking at another DASH character, the devilishly narcissistic criminal […]
Who Puts the “Rock” in Rock’n Game Boy
If you subscribed to the new Archie Mega Man comic, it should be in your mailbox today! I’m still eagerly awaiting its arrival myself. While we wait on the mail to arrive, let’s kill time by looking at some Rockman manga from the early 90’s. Shigeto Ikehara was the artist behind the very first Rockman […]
Hideki Ishikawa’s Mega Man Universe
I’m pretty excited about the Archie Mega Man comic (which should be arriving in my mailbox any time now), and can’t wait to see what they’ll do with the Mega Man story.

DASH2’s Leading Ladies Go Undercover
I feel like doing some more DASH today. We already looked at the front inside flap of this jacket cover a while back, and today I’m going to show off the underside of the Rockman DASH 2 Final Digouter’s File. It contains 5 rare sketches to do with the game’s many heroines. Read on!
DASH, Don’t Rush
Yesterday was a huge day for Legends fans. I was the most excited I’ve been about the game since it was first announced last year! I was completely taken aback, seeing what a Legends game made in this decade can be. I am so looking forward to the prologue game. Who’s ready to wall-dash? Since […]
