miniMEGA #18: “Simulator”
It’s no “Love+” or whatever, but I think my Mega Man “romantic simulation game” would be a real hit! Incidentally, if you think you have a better idea of how such a weird and wacky title would pan out, and feel like drawing it, you could enter Rock Miyabi’s Valentine’s Day art contest!
miniMEGA #17: “Incognito”
Dusty beat me in the great “miniMEGA Comic Race” by making a strip with Nintendo-crossover content! I’ll get my revenge… one day…

miniMEGA #16: “Whistle”
Have to apologize for the late, late update. Also, for the lack of news! Really hoping for something to pop up sometime between Kid Icarus and E3, at least.

A New miniMEGA Challenger Appears!
“Hello readers of miniMEGA, you might be wondering why there’s a new comic on Friday… well from now on, every Friday will be an update from everyone’s favorite robot master, DUSTY. Press Start’s updates will as always be on Monday. But now you get double the miniMEGA! Here’s hoping this comic kicks even more ass than it already does!” -Dusty

miniMEGA #13: “Tribute”
I must remind you with utmost vigilance that miniMEGAs have their own tumblr site now: http://minimega.tumblr.com/
When will that site look any different from this one? Only time will tell…
Megaman Sprite Comic
Watch out! It’s another Mega Man comic! But, this is not the comic you usually see at the site! Megafan Brotoad has begun a series that is redefining the ancient-by-internet-standards art of Mega Man sprite comics, and has aptly named his creation “Megaman Sprite Comics”.
Everything about the comic is unique, including Brotoad’s completely original art and dialogue. The comic challenges even the most diehard Mega Man fan’s comprehension of the series, by recreating the characters’ roles in a whole new way. Previous villains become neighborly friends, cross-generation relationships are formed, and Bass looks like R2D2. Regarding when the strip updates, a statement by Brotoad on the site reads, “i will make a new comic every twice a week unless i forget or if i feel like it i’ll make more because inspiration can strike any time sometimes twice a time.”
You can find all the magic and wonderment of “Megaman Sprite Comics” at the official tumblr page.
miniMEGA #12: “Love”
Good news, comic lovers! I created a separate tumblr page for miniMEGAs, right over here. It has all the comics uploaded so far, and even magically added some color to old comics! They’re also in a weird, square-shaped format (good, maybe?).
I have to apologize, once again, for being sparse on any Mega Man + Smash Bros. related updates. While Kid Icarus: Uprising will not be out until March, it does seem like people are already getting excited for the upcoming Smash Bros. news. While we would all like to think Mega Man has a good chance of making it in, don’t get complacent! Actively rally for our blue hero whenever you can!
Dusty’s 3 and 5 Dollar Sketch-a-thon
As you may or may not know, the banner image for this site used to just be the image you see in the background, a picture from an official Rockman jigsaw puzzle. Fortunately, for my sake, a man by the name of Dusty came along one day and fixed it up, adding the appropriate logos and his own original drawing of the blue bomber to create a rather snazzy header image. He is a super kind dude, and maybe one day when I’m rich and famous and stuff, I can finally repay him for his generosity!
However, if you have the bucks to spare, you yourself can get one of Dusty’s quality sketches! The man himself has a Sketch-a-thon currently running, and is willing to accept requests of all sorts, including Mega Man characters, for either 3 or 5 dollars. 3 will net you a rather nifty pencil sketch, while 5 will earn you a fully inked piece. As you can see above, and in works on his DeviantArt page, Dusty has a fun, cartoon-like style that captures the essence of Mega Man characters rather well. If you can partake, do not pass up this opportunity!
To contact Dusty with any requests, simply post on his dA journal, or message him at DeviantArt. Also, make sure to tell all your friends!
