Honorable Mentions
Stuff that may have only mentioned the X series in some way or another.
The Lost Episode of Rockman 6 – In which Dr. Wily’s dreams are haunted by visions of Rockman X for the Super Famicom.
Retro Jumble – This one has a bit of everything. You’ll find some retro gaming magazine coverage of X1-X3 packed in there.
Happy Day of Sigma? – July 4 isn’t just when Will Smith saved our planet from an alien invasion, it’s also when Sigma invaded Japan.
Gamepro Rools the MM Cartoon Info – Basically, Gamepro Magazine thought we were going to get a Mega Man X cartoon. That would have been nice.
I like Big O. – And you should too! This just mentions in passing how the giant Illumina from X6 was based on Big O. Not much to do with X otherwise.
Before they were games – Geeking out about Rockman game betas and unused stuff that you can find on other sites.
The Power of Love – The only thing this has to do with X is his final ranking on CAP! magazine’s fan art driven Capcom character popularity poll. Zero ranked 9th overall, while X took 16th place. There, now you don’t even have to read it!
All Aboard the CFC Express! – X reminds himself why he always teleports in to work instead of taking public transportation.
Mecha On Parade – X and Zero cameo in this huge mecha-themed Capcom character collage.
Vile Mk-0 to build space colony – Did NASA rip off Rockman X? No, but they really should have.
If there is no problem… – In his X6 ending Zero sealed himself away, set to be awoken on August 15 102 years in the future. But why that particular date? (Short answer: I still have no idea.)
Retro Ads – Includes Capcom’s U.S. ads for Mega Man X for PC and Mega Man X3.
Tatsunoko vs Capcom: Say what? – Collects a few of Zero’s more interesting quotes from the Wii’s crossover fighting game.
The Sword and the Shield – Zero declares war on America. Captain America, that is.
Translation and Localization: X5 and beyond – The story behind X5’s Guns’N’Roses themed Maverick names has been revealed at last. It reveals some interesting points about the game translation process, too.
hello. i have a question regarding the X series translations…..
is there a web page that had translated the Rockman X1: dr. Cain’s journal from the super famincon Japanese game mini book?
i want to see the difference of both the north american and Japanese version of dr. Cain’s journal from the megaman x1 game story.
please
Now that Archie is doing their own version of Cain’s journal as well, it might be fun to compare all 3.
