Gaming website IGN has an exclusive first look at the gameplay for Mega Man Universe coming to the Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade.



Edit: Apparently IGN was not the only gaming website to receive an exclusive first look at Mega Man Universe. Gaming websites Gamespot and 1up have also received exclusive first look trailers for Mega Man Universe, but whats interesting about this is that each trailer show cases a different version of Mega Man along with a Ryu as a playable character.




The game looks very interesting, especially the models from the characters. So thus far we have Mega Man, MM1 Boxart Mega Man, Rockman, and Ryu as playable characters.

Recently a few of the key features on the site have suddenly stopped working properly, namely the AMV Downloader. I am working hard to pin point the problem so that I can fix this issue, so for the time being the AMV's are down. FYI, you can still download videos from the "Videos Archive".

I'll inform everyone when the problem has been resolved.

Edit: As I suspected, there was an error on Powweb's end which was causing the problems. You should now be able to download music videos and submit entries into the AMV of the Season Contest like normal.

The teaser trailer for the upcoming video game, Rockman Online, set to be released exclusively in South Korea has recently been released. Only one word can describe the teaser, LEGENDARY!



The HD version of the teaser will be uploaded to the website shortly. I am currently taking the video through quality control to ensure the community the best quality.



Note: I have taken the time to re-encode the original ".mp4" file and convert it over to a XviD encoded ".avi" file so that you can use it properly in Sony Vegas and other video editing software. The XviD encoded file can be downloaded separately of the original ".mp4" rip by clicking on the link to download the video labeled "Rockman Online Teaser (XviD Encoded)".

So today (August 22nd) is my 22nd birthday. As usual, my brother and I created another Mega Man themed cake for my birthday. If you remember, back in 2008, we created a cake to the theme of Mega Man 9 which just about to come out, and last year (2009) we made a cake to the theme of Rockman.EXE: Operate Shooting Star. I was thinking about making a cake themed to the upcoming Mega Man Universe game, but unfortunately not a lot of information is known about that game.



So I decided to do the next best thing and design a cake around one of my favorite Mega Man series, Legends. Of course it wouldn't be a Mega Man Legends cake with a Servbot


I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I'm going to enjoy the rest of my birthday and eat my delicious cake

Keiji Inafune has revealed a few tidbits about the upcoming Mega Man Universe as well as hinting at a few more Mega Man surprises coming our way this year. Unfortunately, very few details were revealed about Mega Man Universe as Capcom wants to keep the game surrounded in mystery for the time being. Thanks to Protodude's Rockman Corner, we have a few details about what was said at Capcom's panel today.

* According to Inafune, Mega Man Universe will be a game where players can play as their favorite Mega Man characters (including the macho, middle-aged Mega Man from the original game's NES boxart) or other Capcom characters. A primary goal for the title is to offer an experience where Mega Man fans can "unite", possibly a subtle implication of multiplayer. MMU is the Mega Man game Inafune has always wanted to make, supposedly.

* Inafune then went on to say more details on the game are expected to arrive in the future. There was no gameplay shown, but Inafune assured the crowd he's determined to show us something soon. Concerning a release date, the game "won't be out for a while."

* In closing, Inafune let loose that many more Mega Man announcements are coming this year, and confirmed that an "often-requested thing that we all want" is coming to fruition. The crowd immediately began to shout for "Mega Man Legends 3, to which Inafune replied with a swift "Thank You."

Concerning the last thing Inafune said about the "often-requested thing that we all want", only two games come to mind. The first being Mega Man Legends 3 and the second being Mega Man X9. Both games have been requested for years now (Legends 3 more than X9) so both games have are a possibility of being the "Requested thing". There is another panel that will take place this Saturday which is when Capcom plans to announce another game. We could possibly learn more about MMU then.

edit: It appears that the official Mega Man Universe website has launched in Japan. Nothing new has been revealed on the site thus far since that only information on the site are the Japanese Capcom Unity posts and tweets as well as the Mega Man Universe teaser trailer. And yes, the game was registered and trademarked in Japan as Mega Man Universe.

Today Capcom announced "Mega Man Universe" which will be coming to Xbox Live and PlayStation Network.

"We are thrilled to finally be able to announce Mega Man Universe. This game will break the mold and challenge the conventional wisdom of what a Mega Man game can be. When fans finally get to see it, I believe they’ll envision their most far-out Mega Man dreams coming true."

Not much is known about the title expect that it appears to be a cross over title featuring characters like Ryu from Street Fighter and Arther from Ghosts and Goblins.

"We here at Capcom are aiming to deliver the most creative Mega Man experience yet. In Mega Man Universe, imagination is the star of the game. "

An exclusive Q&A with Keiji Inafune was held over at Gamespot which you can check out here. More information about this title is said to be announced by Inafune myself at Comic-Con next week.

The votes have been tallied and the results are in for this seasons AMV of the Season Contest. Everyone who entered the contest had videos which were well made and enjoyable to watch over and over again. Thanks to everyone who entered this season for all the hard work you put into your videos.

3rd Place
Entry: Searchman - Everybodys Fool by Master
Comment: I've seen Blues themed music videos, Rockman themed music videos, and Roll themed music videos, but I can't remember that last time I saw a Searchman themed music video. Master's "Searchman - Everybodys Fool" amv is a well edited Rockman music video that focuses on Searchman and his Net-Op Laika. The song "Everybody's Fool" by Evanescence fits the scenes chosen in the video creating a feeling of connection with the characters. Overall this music video was very enjoyable and a must see for Searchman fans.

2nd Place
Entry: Rockman X -Subarashiki Shin Sekai by Juuniji009
Comment: First off, I would like to point out that during the majority of the contest and voting period, the link Juuniji009 provided for his video only offered the first minute and fourteen seconds of the video. The link has been fixed so that the complete four minutes of the video can been seen, but unfortunately by that time, the majority of votes had gone out. Anyway, This is another well crafted music video by Juuniji009. If you recognize the song from the video, than you probably have seen the opening for the video game Namco X Capcom. Even the opening to the music video uses elements from the Namco X Capcom opening which I thought was clever The editing and effects in the video are what you would effect from Juuniji009, well thought out and creative. I would recommend anyone who enjoys the X series games to check this video out.

1st Place
Entry: Darkrai - Hell Song by Ben
Comment: Darkrai - Hell Song created by Ben is this season's contest winner. What I enjoyed the most about this music video was that it was fun to watch and listen to the music because of the way the audio was synced with the visual effects. I also felt that the song really fit the overall theme of the music video and the characters shown perfectly. This video was also gained popularity among the users who voted for it. I personally enjoyed this video and struggled between voting for this video or Juuniji009's Rockman X -Subarashiki Shin Sekai. It was a close contest, but Ben's Darkrai - Hell Song AMV won in the end.

So congratulations to Ben, I hereby award you with this banner to place alongside your AMV.
