Mega Man Battle Network 10th Anniversary: Mystery Data Roundup Edition – MMN isn’t the only one celebrating ten years of Battle Network!

I’m still working on Pokémon, and I didn’t hear back from some people today, so nothing new on Examiner. Here’s more Mega Man news…

From The Mega Man Network:

UDON Breaks Out BN and SF Official Complete Works Preview – Say what you want about the gameplay, but the art is still pretty awesome.

Mega Man Legends 3: Still Not Greenlit? – Looks like we’re not in the clear just yet, folks.

Mega Man: Case Zero? – Not only has something similar been done before, but Capcom may be aiming to do it again.

Free Archie Mega Man Posters for PAX East Attendees (with a Slight Catch) – No subscription necessary (though they are still most welcome)!

Let’s Have a Listen to Aero – Now that I hear her speak, she sounds more like a “Sephira,” after all. Change it back, Capcom.

On an unrelated note, is anyone playing Lil Pirates? Looking for some people to join my League of Captains here, as I need a larger boat.
