The three minute series aired on Kids Station in between commercial breaks of Ryuusei no Rockman reruns since the fall of 2008. Hosted by rising Japanese star, Kawabata Hitoshi, the program offered SSR3 tips and tricks and news concerning upcoming SSR3 related events.

Japanese online store Fukkan has a pre-order page for Gigamix that describes the book as a compilation of Ariga's works from Comic Bom Bom and numerous Kodansha publications. There's even a small hint that the book might contain unreleased comics.

Operate Shooting Star On November 12th
Gpara reports that Rockman EXE: Operate Shooting Star will arrive on Japanese store shelves November 12th, 2009. The report goes on to mention the game will contain new characters and a variety of new features. Additionally, Gpara has posted a few (old) screenshots for the game and two pieces of high quality artwork.
Get Equipped With OSS Wallpaper
The official Operate Shooting Star website saw a very minor update the other today in the form of a wallpaper download:
Three sizes are available over at the "Brain area" here.
'Megatainment' Released
It's time once again to rock out to The Megas. The Mega Man based cover band recently released their latest album, Megatainment, as part of a collaboration with Entertainment System. The soundtrack, featuring four all new Mega Man 1 inspired songs, is up for grabs on their online store for $5. Hard copies of the album, however, cost an extra $3 in shipping.
Wanna listen before you buy? Head on over to the band's official Facebook profile for a few sample tracks.
Megamix Price Cut
Udon Entertainment's Mega Man Megamix manga isn't even out yet and we already have ourselves a price drop. Amazon has slashed the original 12.95 price tag down to $10.36.
Not a bad deal at all, very reasonable if you ask me. Mega Man Megamix Volume 1 is slated to ship on February 13th, 2010.

Rockman 1 Complete Works On JPN PlayStation Network
Rockman 1 is now available for download at the Japanese PlayStation Store. The game will run you a mere $6. Fortunately, there is no region restriction for PlayStation Store, meaning you can purchase the game even though you don't live in Japan. All you need is a Japanese PSN account and a JPN PlayStation Network card to redeem Yen. More on that here.
If Inafune Wants a New MML, He Probably Wouldn't Be Denied
In a thread over at Capcom Unity, Christian "Sven" Svensson responded to a fan's inquiry regarding the potential of a new Mega Man Legends title and if Keiji Inafune is still adamant on producing a sequel. Sven's response:
Sounds a bit like a hint if you ask me. You never know what Capcom could be cooking.
Zero Manga Too?
Udon Entertainment is showing off some major love for Mega Man recently. With plans to release the Complete Works art books and Megamix and ZX series manga in the US, these guys are really shaping up to be fans' new best friends. Can it get any better? If you're a fan of Hideto Kajima's Rockman Zero manga, then yes, it can.
The September issue of Nintendo Power brings word that Udon might be planning on publishing the Mega Man Zero manga in North America:
I'm a little iffy on this due to the fact that the blurb didn't mention Udon's ZX manga plans. Is it possible NP meant to say ZX manga instead of Zero?

« on: August 07, 2009, 06:31:16 PM »
The September Coro Coro has arrived and with it comes our first look at Operate Shooting Star:
Not much is known at the moment, but what we can gather is that SS Rockman is playable within the EXE universe. Other characters such as Harp Note, appear as well.
Other tidbits:
- SSRockman and Rockman EXE are playable.
- Clock Man (aka Clock Genius) is a Navi from the future. Interacts with characters from the EXE universe.
- Additionally, Clock Man gets his own area.
- Graphically, the game uses the sprites from EXE 1.
- There is a map for the Internet on the bottom screen
- No word on how the battles will play out. Next issue of Coro Coro might touch on this.
More info as it develops. Many thanks to TMMN for helping gather the info. This was a collaborative effort between Heat Man and myself

« on: August 01, 2009, 09:10:45 PM »"Mega Man: Complete History" Coming Soon
It appears another new Mega Man book is coming down the pike. Barnes & Noble have begun taking pre-orders for "Mega Man: Complete History", set to ship on October 1st, 2009. The book, announced in the summer of 2007 alongside a Street Fighter counterpart, is said to include in-depth information on the franchise's history:
Quote
"From napkin-scrawled idea to production to million-selling success, both series’ histories will be told in extreme detail in original text and interviews with the developers, animators, and other industry folks. We’re going to pack in tons of art, too–early concept stuff as well as memorable character sprites. My favorite part may be the package itself, though–these are going to be paperbacks, but they’ll come in a partial slipcase that looks like an original Nintendo cartridge sleeve. "
f note, this has nothing to do with R20. R20 is being split into two volumes by Udon Entertainment: Mega Man Official Complete Works on Oct. 14, Mega Man X Official Complete Works on Dec. 14th.
Three To Four New Characters In Tatsunoko vs. Capcom
Eagerly awaiting the unveiling of new Tatsunoko vs. Capcom characters? Well here's a little something to wet your appetite. In an interview with Siliconera, Ryota Niitsuma, producer of TVC, discussed his intentions of adding at least three to four (maybe more) new playable characters for the North American version:
Quote
S: What can you tell us about these new characters? Are they going to be split evenly between the Tatsunoko and Capcom sides?
RN: In the end we want to have a good balance between the Tatsunoko side and the Capcom side, a split down the middle with characters on both sides. We’re still working on which characters to add and ones to put in so I can’t give you any specifics on that.
RN: Right now I’m looking at around three to four, maybe more. Nothing has been finalized yet. We will be making an announcement very soon about how many characters and who they are.
Hopefully, we'll get an announcement or two sooner than later.! Check out the full Ryota Niitsuma here for more NA version details!
Auction - 20th Ann. Shirt Signed By Infaune
Get ready to unload your Unity points. Capcom's got a spiffy Mega Man 20th anniversary shirt signed by Keiji Inafune up on the auction block. To bid, you have to be a registered Capcom Unity member and have a sufficient amount of Unity Points (read up on that here.) There's other stuff up for grabs as well, check those out here.

Those hoping to see either Mega Man Legends 1 or 2 on PlayStation Network might be in for a bit of a wait. According to Capcom's Chrisitan Svennson, there are a few licensing hurdles to overcome:
Quote
"I know that people want them and I'm working with Japan to see what we can do about that. But they're not on the docket right now as they need to be recleared for rights issues (voice actors, musical score, middleware, any IP infractions, etc.) before we could contemplate putting them up. As it stands today, they are not "cleared" by the IP dept for future use."
Hopefully, things will get sorted out sooner than later.
Irregular Hunter+Rockman Rockman Value Pack Revealed
Capcom plans on releasing a bundle pack of Irregular Hunter X and Rockman Rockman on September 17th for $29.90
According to e-Capcom, the bonus soundtrack is a limited time only deal, you know, a "available while supplies last" sort of thing. In any case, those fortunate enough to get a hold of the soundtrack will be treated to 30 tracks of IHX and RR music complete with bonus artwork.
Unfortunately, it is unknown at this time if the soundtrack will be available through import outlets such as Play-Asia.
Marvel vs. Capcom 2 PS3 In August
According to Capcom's official Twitter, the PS3 version of Marvel vs. Capcom 2 will arrive on August 13th for $15, a mere two weeks after the XBLA version.
As it turns out, the August 13th release date also falls upon the rumored PS3 Retail Pack version. Unfortunately, the pack doesn't come with a copy of the game, but it will contain a redemption code, a free one month subscription to Marvel Digital Comics, 2000 Capcom Unity Points and a disc containing exclusive wallpapers.
The pack will run you $20, $5 more than the cost of the actual game.

Appeared on Y! Auctions Japan a little over six months ago, has since to reappear. Supposedly, it contains a demo of Rockman X4 and some videos related to RM8 and B&C. No clue where this came from, I'm certain it wasn't a pack-in; possibly a Capcom Friendly club promo thing.
No PSX product code databases lists the disc, so I guess you could consider it rare.

A1.) I once said every boss of the first game will be in the film so… you be the judge of that answer =).
Q10.) . Will Proto Man’s whistle theme be included in the film.Proto Man is obviously in the movie, and it simply won’t be the same without the whistle. And also, where will the whistle be placed? Will you use it as music that lays over the ending of the film and carries over into the credits as a BGM?
