DASH, Don’t Rush

2011/04/22 Friday | Author: #20

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 it’s Friday, let’s get some art up in here! Today I’ve got a few images from Secret of Rockman EXE as well as the Mega Man Battle Network Official Complete Works.

It’s all about the support animals!

The Lost City of Women

2011/04/18 Monday | Author: #20

Looks like my Monday post will be late (as usual).

In the meantime, have you seen this already? As someone who wondered for a decade what that lost town might have been like, this is a wonder. Kudos to Trege, Protodude, and all the homies at Legends Station for bringing this to the fans’ attention.

They are the work of female yonkoma manga artist Yuutarou Kawamoto, who is perhaps more famous for her work with other franchises like Dragon Quest and Ragnarok Online. This first manga appeared on page 40 and is about the original Rockman series. Take a look!

Dr. Data’s DASH Dissertation

2011/04/06 Wednesday | Author: #20

Just as Capcom had done for the release of Rockman X, the development team behind the latest Rockman series set out to show off some concept art and answer the fans’ questions about the direction of the game, how it fit into the overall scheme of Rockman, that sort of thing. Or to at least give enough background so that we’d want to get the game and find out the answers for ourselves.

Too bad that the relatively low circulation numbers for both Club Capcom and CAP! made each of these features obscure material even for Japanese fans, undermining the effort. But that also makes them both rare gems!
