Made a bit of fanart for Zelda 1 and Mario 1 as Mega Man games.

Tried to keep the correct NES palette and limitations for them

Here's the final nightmare installment of the remaining robot masters for the 1st game. This is where I re-interpret their pixel sprite into my own, terrible HD Remake. I tried to stay true to the sprites and the pixel grid as best as I can but I did take liberties here and there.

ElecMan's hair is frizzed-out from all the elec.

FireMan who handles fire should not have a unibrow but he does, unfortunately. So I made it more unfortunate that all facial hair looks singed.

IceMan...well, wtf.

Ah yes my favorite enemy PurpleNerple

Rules:

1. Only mainline games (No Megaman Soccer, No Command Mission, No X Dive, No spinoffs in general. This also includes other media, so the manga adaptations, the archie comics, the Ruby Spears Cartoon, light novels, and other media will not be taken into account, so any feats that only happen there, will be discarded. The only exceptions are Megaman World games, Megaman & Bass, and Xtreme)
2. In order for one of them to win, all the other megamen must be left unconscious, captive, or any condition that would render unable to keep fighting.
3. No feats/weapons/armors outside their series, therefore, elements such as the Mother Elf won't be included since X did not have access to her during the X series.

Round 1: Base Battle. Base equipment, no special weapon nor armor (Aile will have Model X, because otherwise she's utterly defenseless)

Round 2: Upgrade Battle. Special Weapons & Armors added (X can get any Armor from X1 to X8, Megaman has access to Super Adaptor, Double Gear, Aile has all Biometals X, Z, H, F, L, P and Ω, and Volnutt can access his special weapons. All megamen can use their special weapons.) Alongside their Upgrades to the Max level.

My 2nd favorite game in the MMX series, it's a perfect sequel to the first MMX

Not only you need to battle all bosses but also the X-hunters to help Dr.Cain reassembling Zero (if not you can fight Zero before Sigma's boss fight)

The weapons are good in this game, didn't had problem using theme or them being boring/useless (I still can't understand Magnet Mine's black hole)

The armor is a great improvement of what the first game gave us (which will later inspire most armor upgrades), you don't dash anymore but air-dash with the leg part, the buster shot is...... I definitely don't know what to say on it but it's just too long to wait until the fourth charge besides that it's better than having to charge super long just to waste everything, with 2 shots you can manage the time to use them, the body part can let you accumulate damages to charge the giga crash (useful against mini bosses or for several enemies at the same time) but also reduce received damages by 50% just like the first one. The head part who even talks about this one ???

The game difficulty just like MegaMan 5, it let you win, giving a impression that the game seems easy compared to X1

Soundtracks is a BLESSING !

The main bosses are good with new mechanics but just like I said in the game difficulty, they're relatively easy to get a win against even without their weaknesses, the real deal in difficulty are the X-hunters and Zero

Sigma's boss fight, it's still like the main bosses he's easy to pull a win even without his weakness, his attacks are too predictable and easy to dodge. In his virus form the difficulty is slightly higher but I'm not gonna talk about that one.

Gameplay I don't know what to say on it but I found the same result as the previous game

oc for my friends little au that i love SOOO much i got like super obsessed with their character design so i decided to make this oc just because i wanted to ship my friends character with them

Wish they were canon..

I recently started collecting action figures of some of my favorite characters (e.g. Iroh, Koopalings, Mr. Freeze, etc.) and now I am looking for a Mega Man X figure for my collection. I had been looking at the Kotobukiya figures, but not a big fan of needing to build it. I also wish I could get a sense for a feel of those. I am debating between the HIYA one and the recent MDLX (by Threezero) one. The HIYA one is $65 pre-order on on Gamestop with free delivery. The MDLX one is $49 on BBTS, but comes out to $75 with shipping. I am leaning towards the HIYA one. Curious what folks think.

So apparently Vol. 1 of Mega Man Adventures has been delayed yet again, so I’ve been thinking about checking out Ariga’s works in the meantime. However, I’m seeing a bunch of titles like Megamix, Gigamix, and Mastermix. I read that Mastermix is made up of older stories, but apparently it’s missing content. So is there a definitive order to the stories, and if so, what’s the best way to read them (that doesn’t involve piracy)?

Maelstrom Woman is from MegaMan W(a fan-game)

Or at the very least can someone help me? I tried to take all the separated instruments (from the video I’ll link below) and do it myself but I tripped several times and realized I’m too amateur for that. Is there an easier way?

Just some of the items in my mega man collection I love the most!

Currently playing through X3 on PlayStation for the first time, I do prefer the classic series tho.

Currently looking to pick up mega man on game gear as well as a Rom Hack of mega man 2 on NES called Mega Man Ultra!

I couldn’t get this idea of Megaman EXE having Zenless Zone Zero Double Souls and Trigger inspired me to sketch out this idea since she’s one of my favorite characters lol 🤔

Have actually been meaning to post something about old fan-sites, so I guess now's the time! Post your links and archive links to Mega Man fan-sites here, so we can all revisit them!

Probably like many of you, I grew up on the early internet discovering a lot of Mega Man fan-sites. There was lots of fan art, fanfiction, rumors, game tricks and passwords, and so on. It was a lot of fun to be part of that community.

Anyway- Just found out that Lycos shut down Tripod and Angelfire hosting, which took with it in April 2026 a few sites which have been around since the 90s and early 2000s, so I thought I'd make this post.

Some notable examples which were online until April (links are archive links, so you can visit them):

• Maelgrim's "Rockman's World" To actually enter the site, use this link. This is one I remember visiting as a kid. There were a lot of cool MIDIs on there! The links page lists a lot of other old fan-sites- Your mileage may vary.

• Xardion's Page O' Stuff Lots of custom pixel art sprites and comics.

Honorable mentions (on Tripod/Angelfire but broken earlier than April 2026):

• Zephiroth X's "Shadow Cavern" A little busted due to the site using frames for navigation (I linked to the nav frame). Zephiroth's site is notable to me because it had such cool pixel art, even though it's mostly Sephiroth-themed reworks of Mega Man sprites. Such a product of its time! It inspired me to be a pixel artist, which is what I do today along with game dev. It's also notable because I remember it (or a previous incarnation of this site) was the first place I saw the name Egoraptor (of Game Grumps fame) online, such a long time ago.

Broken/defunct but not on Tripod/Angelfire:

• Mechadrake Assemblies Inc. This one was working until late 2025. Mechadrake was the homepage of Nadia Oxford, spouse of Mega Man Network's David Oxford ("LBD 'Nytetrayn'"). I remember visiting her site back in the day and enjoying the fanfics, especially "Bass is Not a Fish" and "Trip Through Your Wires." She recently released a book! ("From Pixels to Prose: What Video Games Taught Me About Storytelling")
• Sinister Six Art, custom sprites, fanfics and more.
• Stardroids.net A non-sprite comic with decent art that updated into 2010.

Still alive and kickin':

• Sprites Inc. [Static archive] A repository of Mega Man sprites, useful for pixel art reference, fangames, webcomics, and more. It recently suffered a server shutdown, resulting in the loss of its forum and wiki. Its sprite collection has been preserved on the site, which is now a static archive.
• The Mega Man Network [Regularly updated] Still alive and updated today, this is a good source of Mega Man news. It has roots tracing back to the fansite "Mega Man X Online" back in 2000.
• Protodude's Rockman Corner [Regularly updated] Hands down, the best source for bleeding-edge Mega Man news! Thank you for your work, /u/ProtodudeRMC! I love when you unveil betas + prototypes.
• The Mega Man Homepage [Regularly updated] Can't believe this is not only still around, but still updated! It's a great resource for MM game tips and passwords, and also a lot of fanfics I read back in the day.
• Sivak Drac's Mega Man Page [Online, but defunct] I remember visiting this one and really liking the page design, and it got me into HTML. Sivak also arranged a lot of MIDIs and did some rom hacking, eventually going on to release Battle Kid and its sequel for NES/Xbox/Switch. The MM page isn't updated anymore, but Sivak maintains a Youtube channel.
• Bob and George [Online, no longer updated] The quintessential Mega Man fancomic. I read it when I was a kid, and it was and still is a lot of fun!

Some sites I remember visiting but can't find or haven't had the time to look for yet:

• Zero X Phoenix's "Ultimate Mega Man X and Zero Website" (Had custom sprites)
• Mega Man: Robotic War Machine (Had custom sprites and a cool MIDI playing in the background, naturally)
• Engine of Destruction Mega Man
• Planet Mega Man (was a good news site back in the day)
• Atomic Fire (run by a person going by "Heat Man")

I'll edit this post to update as I remember/rediscover more. Looking forward to seeing what sites you all remember!

Also fuck you phantom, worst guardian ngl

Hey r/Megaman!

I’ve always been fascinated by fan game roster design, so I set out to build an ideal, hypothetical classic Mega Man lineup using only existing Robot Masters.

To make it a legitimate design challenge, I locked myself into 4 strict rules:

1. Strictly 1 Robot Master per mainline game (No stacking MM2/MM3 picks).
2. No overlapping environment themes (Must feel like 8 distinct stages).
3. 8 distinct functional archetypes (Sharp, Explosive, Barrier, Sky, Speed, Ice, Construction, Electric).
4. A logically consistent weakness chain from start to finish.

I’d love to hear your thoughts! If you had to follow these exact same rules, who is the one Robot Master you’d swap out, and how does it ripple through your weakness chain?
