Mega Man 3 is out on Wii's Virtual Console! It'll dock you a measley 500 Wii Points, so it's definitely worth it. Especially since Mega Man 3 introduced the ever popular slide ability. You also have Rush at your side for the first time too.
The kicker for me is the music. Mega Man 3 had the BEST music in my opinion. Go check it out now!
The coolest dad ever, is at it again. This time with a video of him and his video game themed sons gatherin' candies! The dad is Captain N, and his sons are Kid Icarus and MEGA MAN! In case you missed out, that Mega Man cosutme is hand made, and the buster and helmet both light up. Enjoy!
To answer your question before you ask it, no, I do NOT spend all day looking at Mega Man YouTube vids. I sometimes spend portions of my day forcing other people to look for Mega Man YouTubes so I don't have to. But seriously, this video is awesome. It's by far one of the coolest things I've seen fan created for Mega Man 9. You can see some of the features we had to cut from Mega Man 9, like being able to use a mustard bottle to control the Blue Bomber. Also, much to my disappointment, the decision was made to cut out Oreo Man. You defeated him by dropping him in a glass of milk. He would turn into a soggy lump of tastyness... Suddenly I want Oreos and milk. brb...
A little while back we put up some awesome Mega Man 9 Vocal work by MegaPhilX, which if you haven't checked out, you need to. The above and below vids are some Mega Man 3 Vocal Audio work that was found on the many wonders of YouTube. It's fun to listen to, and you can't help but smile and be upbeat after hearing these!
We've finally chosen our winners for the Ultimate Mega Man Fan contest! It was a difficult task, since there were so many great entries. All of you are truly the biggest Mega Man fans out there. Everything submitted proved to us that the Mega Man community here on Unity is by far the best. We had to go through loads of sweet things, like your collections, fan art, music, poems, cosplay, videos, speed runs, stories, fan-made games, memories, and countless other forms of loyalty and devotion to the blue bomber.
After making extremely hard decisions, we've narrowed down the winners to four. "Four?" You say, "But there's only three prizes though!" Indeed, we did only have three prize sets... But we've created a fourth set as an honorable mention. So without further adieu, here are the Ultimate Mega Man fans!
MegaPhilX - "MegaMan got me into drawing, animation, music, game design etc. and made me into what I am today."
This is one of tons of things MegaPhil submitted, but it's among my favorites. The entire set of sounds and music is redone using only his voice! It's amazing and entertaining. Overall, he has an entire lifes worth of Mega Man fandom. Check out his blog for all the things that make MegaPhil an Ultimate Fan!
Joey - "I was immediately engulfed with the music and game play, despite the
unforgiving difficulty level. I’m pretty sure Cutman was the very first
stage I had played, and it set the precedent for many dozens of stages
I would be playing for the next 20 years."
Joey has tons history with Mega Man, and one of the coolest was this license plate! Through it all, he has only grown in his passion for Mega Man, even driving the distance to our old Capcom Head Quarters in 2005. Take the time to read his blog on how the first game lead him into a lifetime passion!
Marcus - "I don't just care about myself or my Mega Man Collection but also about
Mega Man himself, all the stories about him, his friends, all the
stories after his timeline, before his timeline and all the other Mega
Man fans in this comunity and all around out there!"
Marcus has created various fan made Mega Man games, and does a fantastic job! Not only that, he's created posters, banners, and even a miniature replica of the Mega Man 9 Box! His blog goes goes from his creative inspirations, all the way to how he's an "always prepared" Mega Man fan.
Our Honorable Mention:
Rob Man - "MegaMan was the first game that gave me the power to choose my destiny, one master at a time."
There's many out there who have Mega Man tatoos, but Rob Man is our fourth winner because of his life long love of the guy. He still owns the first copy of Mega Man 1, box 'n all, on his shelf. His collection is more than just a bunch of rare Mega Man items... To him, it's a whole set of memories, inspirirations, and devotion to Mega Man. In his blog you can see just how far and how long his loyalty to Mega Man has taken him.
