Manga Profiles

posted by Gauntlet101010

January 7th, 2006

Time for another Manga Profiles update! I’ve decided to try to make this as “ultimate” as possible …. you see, ALL the Ariga works I have have these profile pages …. however, some feature characters the other doesn’t have. So I’m gonna try to get ALL the characters systematically.

Anyhow, the first half of Megamix 2’s profiles have been uploaded. Some are repeats of profiles we already have, but the scans are bigger … might give some better quality.

Additionally …. I’ve been looking over the page and it looks quite … messy. Oh, having all your content sprawled out on the left frame is a great strategy for pages STARTING OUT, but ….. the Mechanical Maniacs has become somewhat of a monster site. In the future I want to have an entirely new layout and organization system and to that end the Nuts and Bolts page has become a site index showcasing both main features alongside the minor ones in neat categories.

Oh, and due to unavoidable hosting issues there might be some downtime in the near future. Be not alarmed.

Happy New year, all!

A bit more has been added to Megaman Mysteries courtesy of NESBoy. Namely stuff concerning the MM1 Dr. Light sprites, Megaman 1 (Gameboy), a a bit more for Wily Wars; all worth checking out.

More things have been added to the Secret page (for those who have puzzled it out).

A glitch which turned the “‘” into “?” has been sorted out. Thanks to Shadowstrike for pointing out that glitch.

And that’s it for this week and this year! See you all next year!

Merry Christmas, all!

And this holiday season sees a monster update! With help from Ace Spark I’ve created Megaman Mysteries – the long-awaited follow-up to MM3 Mysteries! All about the developmental aspect of Megaman – from every series! Although, mostly X and the original series for now.

Thanks, Ace! Couldn’t have done it without ya!

MM3 Mysteries also sees another update! Another beta screen found, more on the Skull Castle theme, and I rewrote the bit on the “wily intro” scene since I wa sunder a misconception before.

More MM3 Mysteries, MM manga scans

Alright, a double update feature!

The update to MM3 Mysteries isn’t really big. I just merged my ancient article on the Megaman 3 Prototype rom into the section (as I probably should have done in the first place). There’s no new information given. Of course if you haven’t read the article, then you may find a few things interesting. I also added chapter links to the beginning of the article, it’s gotten quite long.

The Megaman manga scans have been updated for the first time in YEARS! They now feature some old scans once seen on Ariga’s own site and a sew section – Character Profiles. The bulk of that was on Ariga’s site once, but give me a bit of time and I’ll scan all the profiles found in the mangas for that section.

More MM3 Mysteries?

I didn’t think there could possibly be more to say about Megaman 3, but I was wrong. There’s still some minutia to go over! A bit of the article was re-written as well as sadding more about unused stuff and various tidbits of factual knowledge gleamed from the rom.

Geez, if only the rest of the series was this interesting to go over! Then, maybe, more would get done.

Hardman’s ‘Maniacs Moments are now up to 150! Of course the zip he gave me ends at 151, soooo …. well, hope he cobbles up some more!

Also redid the banner a bit to reflect the festive occasion! Oh, yes …. very festive indeed!

New Epilogue!

On a whim, I made a new epilogue! But not only is this a Mechanical Maniacs epilogue … but a Sinister Six one as well! Read the epilogue by Gary, Ben, and myself: Crisis on Earth-Capcom!

Cosplay Section!

Welp, here’s a section long in coming. Find out exactly why Needlegal chose her name in her very own cosplay section!

Alright, so not one of those costumes is Megaman. I don’t care.

And, Yes …. this means Needle is an even bigger nerd than I. For I would never cosplay at all.

And, for those who care, no this doesn’t mean I am less mysterious …. while I can keep silent Needlegal can be as forthcoming as she likes. About her own information anyways. lol. She respects my privacy.

Oh yeah, I also changed the featured links up at top there. Those last ones were up since forever and a day.

Megaman 9

A section long in coming, I bring you: Megaman 9! A project that’s taken about a year to finish, so it better be good!

Ever wonder how the classic Megaman series ends? Of course you do. I do too. Everybody does. Well, we gotta face facts: Neither Capcom nor Keiji Inafune will ever give us a clear, satisfying ending to the series. It’s just not how they operate and besides, the plot of the X series has moved away from such connections. Not liking this one little bit I set pencil to paper and finger to keyboard and make up my OWN ending. And now I share it with you.

Not only is this a partial story summary, but it’s accompanied by lotsa drawings! So it’s fun for your eyes too!

Cell Phone Games

The Cell phone games list has been updated and now features more screenshots for older games. I think I may actually have to make a second page JUST for the screenshots soon.

Well, I’m sort of back ….. but not fully. Don’t expect a massive online presence, but …. there will be *a* presence.

DVD Captures!

Rocketing from the doomed Planet Megaman comes my Megaman DVD captures (conveniently merged with the Image Gallery)!

Alright, I’m being rather dramatic. But I really dunno if PMM is ever gonna be back (Lord knows they have backups which they could’ve used by now). But, even if they are, it’ll be without me and my DVD captures. From now on they’re featured here – along with all my other crap. Included also are Quickman’s additions which were shown briefly before PMM was deleted.

Wow. Late thursday update. Don’t expect to see me around too much this weekend guys, I’m indisposed.
