Rockman x B-Side Label Collaboration is Adorable

No one loves stickers as much as B-Side Label. The Japanese-based manufacturer are ridiculously passionate about their work, diligently supplying hip and trendy youngsters with high-quality stickers ranging from cute to eyebrow-raising-weird.

In the case of the former, B-Side is teaming up with Capcom to deliver an adorable quartet of Rockman stickers: Blues, Rush, Yellow Devil and the Blue Bomber himself. These little trinkets will set you back 400 Yen a pop or 1600 Yen for the full set. And what do you know, they're water-proof and UV ray protected. That's some high-quality stuff right there.

I realize these aren't the most exciting thing to come out from the IP lately, but hey, someone out there could use a good sticker or two. If that's you, get your pre-order on at e-Capcom.

Additional Mega Man Legacy Collection Details from Frank Cifaldi

Mega Man Legacy Collection producer and director Frank Cifaldi has been answer your questions non-stop on Twitter. For your consideration, here's a few interesting morsels you might want to know about...

The 'Best of Mega Man 1-10' Vinyl Needs Your Help

Remember that Best of Mega Man vinyl by SpaceLab9? It looks like it had a bit of a delay and for good reason: classic series boss LP variants are in the works and SpaceLab9 needs you to vote on your favorite.

'Mega Man Legacy Collection' Announced (PS4/X1/PC/3DS)

Capcom has announced Mega Man Legacy Collection for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Nintendo 3DS. Developed by Digital Eclipse, the bundle features all six 8-bit NES entries with new modes and extras. Hit the jump below for the full story!

Here's Mega Man in 'Yoshi's Woolly Word'

Yeah, so it's confirmed now. The Mega Man Amiibo is compatible with Yoshi's Woolly World. Touching your figure to the Wii U Gamepad unlocks a Mega Man pattern for everyone's favorite dinosaur. Super fighting dinosaur.

Compared to the other unlockable skins, this one is really quaint. Very simple, honestly. But hey, it's pretty cool to see another major Nintendo title giving Mega Man a nod.

See the rest of the lot here. Thanks, FuPoo.

Rumor: Capcom Has Hired a New Mega Man Producer

If yesterday's TV series announcement wasn't enough, word has it Capcom might have sworn in a new, dedicated Mega Man producer. The news comes from the officially-licensed Mega Man board game Kickstarter, where Jasco Games claims a new individual is at the reigns. The new producer is said to be working close with Jasco on finalizing the board game's visual assets. No name was provided.

Pending official word from Capcom, I think it's safe to take this statement as an unconfirmed rumor. In all honesty it would not surprise me in the slightest if it were true. From an influx of legacy titles on Virtual Console and PSN to the new cartoon, there is some viable evidence to suggest someone is dictating the course of the franchise from here on out. New game or no, things aren't as idle as they have been.

The wheels of change are starting to spin, I believe. With a new TV series on the horizon and now the possibility of new leadership, it's clear Capcom has not given up on old blue just yet.

New Mega Man TV Series in the Works for 2017

After a near decade long absence, Mega Man is returning to television. Man of Action Entertainment, the studio behind Ben 10, Ultimate Spider Man and Marvel's Avengers Assemble, will produce an all-new animated Mega Man series, The Hollywood Reporter reports. Joe Casey, Joe Kelly, Duncan Rouleau and Steven T. Seagle are currently set to write and produce a 26-episode full length production for an undisclosed television network.

"The 1990s Mega Man TV series was cool and different than other series targeted at kids during that time," said Rouleau. "It featured great action, but also brought the laughs. Mega Man is a character that is even more relevant for today’s kids and we are really looking forward to creating something new that still respects the long tradition of the character."

Dentsu Entertainment will reportedly retain international distribution rights and co-develop the series with Man of Action. The series is aiming for a 2017 debut, just in time for the franchise's 30th anniversary.

In all, this is huge news for the franchise. I was made aware of these developments late last night, and while I don't know much else than what's been said above, I can say the plan is to develop this thing into a multimedia franchise. Video games, toys, random paraphernalia. The show has apparently been in the works for quite some time now.

We will be keeping tabs on this, needless to say. Man of Action's involvement has me cautiously optimistic, though it's a little too soon to board the proverbial hype train. Stay tuned.

Mega Man Star Force Now Streaming on Hulu

Viz Media is amping up its streaming library with all thirteen dubbed episodes of Mega Man Star Force. The animated series is now available to stream from Hulu and Neon Alley, respectively. You can start your binge right here.

Star Force originally aired in 2006 for 55 episodes. It premiered in English the following year as an online-exclusive through the now-defunct Toonami Jetstream. The English version, produced under Viz, typically took two Japanese episodes and combined them to one 30-minute episode. Unlike Mega Man NT Warrior, the English Star Force features significantly less cuts, censorship and a considerably more accurate translation. It remains a fan favorite today.

Streaming is currently limited to residents in North America. Those with a Hulu Plus subscription can watch the show on your TV or on-the-go.
