Pachislot Rockman Ability Character Renders Revealed

More Pachislot Rockman Ability news continues to drip out with the unveiling of three character renders. From left to right we have Rock (aka Rockman), Roll, and Trancy. The latter is a brand-new character created specifically for Pachislot Rockman Ability. She is one of many original characters created exclusively for the game.

For the uninitiated, Pachislot Rockman is, well, a Rockman-themed pachislot game. It's being developed by Spiky and is expected to launch in Japan later in September. The game isn't based on any particular Rockman; rather, it's set in its own, pachinko-inspired universe.

You can read up on previous Pachislot Rockman Ability coverage coverage here, here, and here. More news on this front soon!

Official Mega Man: Fully Charged Character Profiles

Here's a bit of a Rockman Corner exclusive for you. A little while ago I received a nice packet of official Mega Man: Fully Charged character profiles and art. While I can't share the artwork at this time, I do have permission to drop a few character profiles on ya. So today we're only looking at Mega Man, the members of the Light family, and Sergeant Night. Sorry; I gotta leave you with some surprises!

More Mega Man: Fully Charged "Throwing Shade" Clips

Ahead of Mega Man: Fully Charged's premiere on the Cartoon Network app later this week (Friday, August 3rd), the official Cartoon Network YouTube channel posted two new previews from the show's first and second episode ("Throwing Shade" part 1 and 2). Check out the first clip above and the second after the break below!

Mega Man 11 Full Blast Man Stage Gameplay + Torch Man Challenge Mode

Archived footage last week's Capcom TV Mega Man 11 segment has surfaced thanks to KiraSSG. Here, we get to see a complete run of Blast Man's stage including the boss fight. Jumping ahead to the 12:20 mark, we get our first look at Challenge Mode. Only one challenge is available in this particular build: a time trial fight against Torch Man. 

Also worth pointing out, at the 7:13 mark, the player earns a bronze trophy for triggering Shock Guard. This is an optional part available to purchase from Dr. Lights lab that protects Mega Man from spikes.

Mega Man: Fully Charged Episode 3 Part 1 Preview

Another day, another Mega Man: Fully Charged clip. This preview comes from the episode "Drilling Deep Part 1". (unblocked version here: https://youtu.be/W_ueQcxGvTs)

In this clip, we get to see a little bit of Aki before he transforms into Mega Man to take on a raging Drill Man. Apparently, Drill Man used to be a musician – he was "born with music in his heart". His father, however, forced him into the family business, mining, and replaced his hands with drills.

Stay tuned for more Mega Man: Fully Charged clips soon!

Pachislot Rockman Ability Robot Master Names Confirmed

Leaked promotional material from the upcoming Rockman pachislot game, Rockman Ability, has revealed the names of four Robot Masters. From left to right, top to bottom, we have Coin Woman, Blues (not a Robot Master but confirmation that he's definitely in the game), Lever Man, Choice Man, Reversi Man, and Replay Man.

Weird names, right? I thought so too for a hot minute. But if you read them over again, it sounds like each Robot Master corresponds with a pachislot/slot machine gameplay mechanic. From what little gameplay we've seen, though, landing on one of these characters doesn't appear to affect the player's roll all that much. There's a whole lot we don't know about Rockman Ability still.

Pachislot Rockman Ability is expected to launch in Japan this September. Check past coverage here, here, and here.

Continuing where the first clip left off, we get to see more of Mega Man's duel with Fire Man, more Mega Mini (or as Mega Man calls him, "Mini Migraine"), and more of fan-favorite "buff" Dr. Light.

Can't see the video? Unblocked version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhI1jGzqTp8

All in all, a fun little clip. Mega Man: Fully Charged premieres on the official Cartoon Network app and various on-demand streaming platforms on Friday, August 3rd. Episodes will air on Cartoon Network weekly every Sunday beginning at 6:30 a.m. ET/PT starting August 5th.

More Rockman 11 Voice Actors Announced

We already know that Ayaka Fukuhara is voicing Rockman in Rockman 11 and Tasuku Hatanaka is playing Blast Man. But what about the other characters? By way of Inside Games, here's a few more cast announcements: Hideyuki Umezu is Dr. Wily, Yuka Iguchi is Roll, and Nobuo Tobita is Dr. Light AND Auto.

Any of these names ring a bell? Hit up the links above and check out their profiles on Anime News Network. You might just learn something.

Still no word on whose voicing who in the English version. We do have some pretty good guesses, though. Going by the general consensus, Ben Diskin is Mega Man and Keith Silverstein is Dr. Wily. Listening to the pre-order date trailer again, yeah; it really does sound like them. Nicely done, keen-eared peeps.

Mega Man: Fully Charged Behind-the-Scenes Footage

Clips from last week's Mega Man: Fully Charged Comic-Con panel have surfaced online thanks to the folks at Gamer Splash. The panel featured a behind-the-scenes look at the show's production; specifically, the animation and sound design process.

The clip above highlights the "live action style" camera devised by Fully Charged's creative team. It gives the show a live, movie-like sense of action. The scene depicts Mega Man facing off against Fully Charged's primary antagonist – a robot who might just be Sargent Night himself.
