Yes; Mega Man: Fully Charged is done. Kaput. But every now and then I get the chance to share something neat from the show's development. Today is one of those days.

"Mega Man Goes Blue!" Charity Stream Kicks Off This Weekend

The holiday season inspires us to do some good, and these guys are doing just that. A two-day Mega Man charity event is due to take place this weekend on behalf of Zero Cancer, a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting prostate cancer and supporting patients and caregivers.

The December 4th~December 5th stream will feature a handful of Mega Man games from classic and X to Battle Network. The schedule is still being finalized but you can see the current action-packed lineup here. Donations are being accepted ahead of the stream as well. You can find that here!

Rockman Corner will be hosting an embedded version of the stream this weekend, too. We hope you'll be able to tune in! It's for a good and worthy cause.

Cyber Monday may be winding down to a close, but before you tuck your leftover Zenny away, Artec Co. has a last minute deal for ya. 

From now until Thursday, December 2, the Making Mega Man: Code Legend tool kit is 10% off on Amazon. That brings it down from $259.99 to $233.

Rockman-san Chapter 14 Available Now

Rockman-san's previous chapter took the story to a new level of seriousness following Dive Man's discovery in chapter 12. 

Rock and Guts Man were enjoying a fun night-out together until Guts Man received a call from the construction site where he works. The two friends headed to the place to find a group of robots equipped with mass-produced Busters wreaking havoc.

Rock immobilized two of the robots... but he needed Guts Man's help to finish them off! Now the story continues, growing more intense by the moment! You can check it out here!

"Mega Man Adventures" Official Tabletop Game Announced

Blacklist Games and Kess have announced Mega Man Adventures, an officially-licensed 1 to 4 player tabletop game. Here's the lowdown:

"There are two main ways to play the game: as a quick single game, or as an ongoing campaign to eventually take on Dr. Wily himself!

Players must plan their turns out by playing Action cards, using one for themselves and two others to support their fellow heroes with bonus abilities as they traverse deadly stages filled with traps, obstacles and enemies.  Working together, the heroes will eventually each reach a dreaded Robot Master, who makes use of a unique boss pattern the players must decipher if they hope to defeat it and gain its signature weapon—handy when facing other Robot Masters or even Dr. Wily in his castle!"

Blacklist Games also note that it's possible to create campaigns that mix and match different elements from Mega Man 1, Mega Man 2 and Mega Man 3. For example, you can build a campaign from Guts Man's stage but populate it with enemies from Mega Man 3. Customization is part of the fun.

You can find an in-depth playthrough of the game from Blacklist Games' official YouTube channel here. Better yet, go ahead and download a simulated version of the game from Steam Workshop, too! 

Mega Man Adventures is slated to drop in Q2 2022. Pre-orders are available directly from Blacklist Games.

In Rockman-chan's previous chapter, the final battle against Dr. Wily was put on hold. Rockman got a new weapon... office tacks!
