In Japan, cell phone games seem to be allot more popular than here. And none other than your hero and mine - Rockman - has starred in a great deal of his own cell phone games. Here's a comprehensive list of all the games Rockman has appeared in on the cell phone via i-mode / Java / keitai or .... whatever.
Some images were shrunk by Capcom when advertising .... and some are from different versions (including, quite possibly, beta versions), of the cell phone games. The larger screens with more NES-like graphics come from a 256K version of the game and the screens with more simplistic graphics are from a 100K version of the game, for phones with less memory. Click here for additional images of the cell phone games!

跳べ!ロックマン - Jump! Rockman - Jump over obstacles to rescue Roll! |
Swordkirby from my forum has written a small reveiw of the game. To quote the instructions..."Your objective for each level is to rescue the princess. control the game character Rockman, and get him from the bottom of the house, up to the attic where te princess is being held. Press '2'2 to jump,'4' to walk left and '6' to walk right. Be careful not to let Rockman fall off the floor level and also avoid any enemies that are encountered.' This game is simple,addictive and fun. The 'about' says Rockman Version 1.02 C capcom. The icon has a head shot of rockman, looking like the 8/9one. The game one looks really funny. Sorta like a cross between the 5 and 7 one. The start screen has rockman jump,which reminds me of the start screen for of one NES game. The princess is actually Roll. so the heart above them when rockman rescues her |

ロックマン エグゼ ファントム オブ ネットワーク - Rockman EXE Phantom of Network - The following information is ripped straight from our hosts at Planet Megaman .... including summaries for each chapter. The real world parts are just selecting options, but the net part plays just like in the game (except with up-down settings instead of vertical). You can slot in chips and battle exactly like in the regular series. New navis include Hatman. The graphics seem identical to the game with the phones compressing the graphics when displaying (whoda thunk). In addition to the main scinarios, there are several side quests as well. |

The story as of now is rather basic, but follows thusly. In the year 200X everything is connected within a network. Of course with the rapidly increasing technology comes rapidly increasing net crimes. There are those who work with their Net Navis to stand up against viruses and bad programs, as such our human/Net Navi protagonist team: Netto (Lan) and Rockman (Mega Man). However, a new threat is sneaking up to their origin. The malicious being is resurrected from their past. The major scenarios of the game are released every two weeks in chapters. The initial release of the game includes chapter one and two, with chapter three coming on the 18th, and so forth. They are summarized as follows: Chapter 1: Resurrected Threat Chapter 2: Hotly Burning Heart! 3) Net Battle Tournament Opening! Shuuichi Eboshi, transfering from another school, enters the same class as Netto. Netto learns from Dekao that a net battle tournament is being held, and goes to Densan Dome. When he gets there he happens to run into Enzan who is on guard duty. An incident comes up in the net battle tournament. Something has invaded a net battle machine! Netto plugs Rockman in, only to encounter the same thing again... 4) Uncuttable Bonds Shuuichi Eboshi: The son of Mr. Hat and operator of Hatman. Because of his father's work, he moves to the same school Netto attends. Because his father is always busy and doesn't care much, Shuuichi is often feeling loneliness and disatisfaction. Hatman: Shuuichi's Navi. He is skilled with attacks following a majic motif, being able to pull roses and swords out of thin air and producing things from his silk hat. Mr. Hat: This famous magician is Shuuichi's father. He is always on the move in order to entertain people everywhere. 5) Phantom of the Network 6) Electrical Interference by Electronic Jamming! A grand investigating initiative on behalf of the science bureau is started to find a solution to the incidents. Netto also receives direct request from his father. Netto and Rockman go into the mobile area where electronic jamming has been flying about wildly. In the deepest section of the area they encounter the mysterious Navi - Jammingman. 7) Exceeding the Far, Strange Space Virus outbreaks are occuring in great quantity all over the world, leaving the cyberworld in a paralyzed state. Amidst all this, Netto and Rockman go through a hole in the cyberworld, and press on the exploration. The destination they arrive to is a mysterious, monotone colored cyber space. What's expected here...? A mysterious voice echoes to them. Finally Netto has reached the true mastermind of the incidents! 8) Operation Mobile |

Megaman Rush Marine - No Robot Masters, weird fish enemies, and scrolling / shooting action mark this as one of the more unusual Megaman titles. Reports state that it feels more like a homebrew game than one made by Capcom. Evidently Wily's drilling for oil and it's causing earthquakes. |
