Rockman Strategy, Gold Empire and More PC Oddities Hit the Internet Archive

The headline for this one says it all, really. Thanks to Rockman Corner reader Sylvie, you can finally download and play each one of those neat -- but definitely weird -- officially-licensed PC Rockman games. Better yet? They're virus and malware free.

 We've got the download links below! (For the uninitiated on the subject, check out The Mechanical Maniacs' excellent write-up here.)

Check Out the Complete Rockman DASH: Great Adventure on 5 Islands! Longplay

As work continues to preserve the game itself, the crew at Get Me Off the Moon have been busy recovering direct-feed footage of Rockman DASH: Great Adventure on 5 Islands!.

The above longplay was recorded several years ago by a one Suzukaze. Until now, a significant portion of his run was missing. Thanks to a few members of the Mega Man Legends Station, they've recovered the entirety of Suzukaze's playthrough. You can now enjoy the full four and a half hour experience from start to finish. Yay!

We'll have more updates on the extraction and preservation of the game in due time. But do know that the team have been working very hard to get it in a playable state. Emulation remains the end goal.

Stay tuned!

Mega Man Battle Network Composer Akari Kaida Producing New GBA Chiptune Album


If you're a fan of Akira Kaida's work, you might be pleased to know that she's dipping her toes back into Mega Man Battle Network. A very little dip.

Kaida has announced a brand-new Game Boy Advance-inspired chiptune album called "Advanced Connection". It will feature five original tracks plus a new rendition of Be Somewhere, the theme song from Rockman EXE Stream. No samples were provided, but if you like that sweet GBA soundfont, you'll probably dig this. UPDATE: Samples!!

Of course, there's a bit of a caveat here. The album will only be distributed at Tokyo Game Music Show 2022. I'm sure we'll be able to listen to these pieces in some form eventually... but it'd be great to be able to support Kaida directly. Drop her a (respectful) tweet and let her know you wanna pitch in!

Rockman-chan Chapter 17 (Part 3) Now Available


The latest chapter of Rockman-chan brings the Light family "vacations" in France to a conclusion.

First 4 Figures Teasing New, Updated Zero Statue

Out with the old and in with the new! First 4 Figures is reportedly giving Zero another go. An updated statue is in the works, and it's aiming to be "light years" ahead of the ill-fated 2019 version (previously cancelled due to poor sculpt quality.).

"Second time's a charm," writes F4F's Alex Davis on Facebook. "This version is light years ahead of the original one and really shows how much better it is with the dream team handling the creatives instead of me! Cant wait til the full reveal - second half of the year I think!"

Alex's post was accompanied by the above image. It's still in early development, but you can definitely see the improvement from the hair alone. This will be one to watch for. 

Thanks for the tip, Swirls!
