MM3 Mysteries , fan sprites, fan art, Gauntlet art, The Unnamed!

Wow, a monster update this week!

Megaman 3 Mysteries has been a big success! So big in fact, that I might very well expand that sort of coverage to all the games. Featuring some info that you know …. and some you might not. But, thanks to Heat of Sprites INC I have found something I had previously overlooked! What appears to be an entire cityscape … possible for an alternate ending! He’s also identifies Unknown sound effect 3 as the sound when the nut and bolts come together (as seen in Top’s level). Thanks, Heat!

The Sprites Section and “Other Art” Gallery has been updated with more fan-submitted sprites and pictures!

The bios also have new pictures drawn by yours truly depicting the current version of the Megaman 3 Team (including Needlegal and Spark Chan)! The full pictures can be seen in my art gallery.

And, finally, The Unnamed has been updated once more with two more chapters. I’ve been neglecting this project much too long and I want to get it out of the way! So, hopefully …. I can do that.

And that’s the update for today, folks. Be sure to vote for me in the next Megaman Page Idol!

Image Galleries

Mostly, I reorganized sprites behind-the-scenes. Shouldn’t notice too big a difference. Although, many sprites in the sprite gallery that I made are now found in the Gauntlet Sprite Gallery. Also, a few gift sprites are now up in the Sprite Gallery. Most are single sprites, but that’s ok by me. I like gift art, after all. Also, the animations section has a couple “new” animations made by me. New in that I haven’t posted them until today.

Hardian’s gallery has more pictures. Forum frequenters should recognize them pretty easily. They’s pretty spiffy. My gallery also has one new image. Gift art for B. Hornet of the Megaman Community forums.

Hey, don’t forget to send art for the Gauntlet’s Art Contest. We need submissions from *points* YOU!

And to all the Canadian MM fans – Happy Thanksgiving!

The Unnamed, Chinese Games, Cell Phone Games, Sprites, Images, MM3 Tiger

“Same Shadow Time” …… yeah, well it didn’t turn out that way. Oh, well. I make up for it in UPDATES. And what big updates we have today.

First off, yet another (short) chapter of The Unnamed is up for reading.

Next, the Chinese Games article in the misc. section has screen shots for Rockman Gold Empire. It’s one of the games Capcom licensed (not a pirate) …. doesn’t make it good.

The Cell phone games have also been updated. I think I might actually have found one for you guys to download and play! Of course the page was in Japanese, so I dunno. Someone wanna try it out and let me know?

There’s some new art in the misc. Image gallery by Kindlewoman and an official picture of Pinbot that I forgot to put up earlier.

Annnnnd there’s been an update in the sprites section! We have some custom sprites of Hardman.EXE by our very own Hardman as well as sprites Auto ripped from one of the Chinese games! Rockman is super deformed and they actually look quite nice, so it’s worth the two seconds it takes to look at them. Both have handy new tanks next to them for easy finding.

Finally, I’ve put up a new and, I’m sure, long awaited article: an article on Megaman 3 for Tiger Handheld Electronics! It was only a matter of time before the Megaman 3 team covered this aspect of Megaman 3 as well. And if you think it’s a straight copy of Joey’s article, you’re mistaken. I now HAVE this game in my possession! Meaning I can write up something original!

Epilogues, one new animation.

Yeah, I almost didn’t update this week. But I figured …… “hell, why not? I may as well post one of those epilogues that’s been done for a few months”.

And that’s exactly what I did. Issue #9 – Snakeman is Framed! done by our very own Snakeman!

Also, Lennon made a pretty neat animation that’s now in the Animation section. You know, if you like animated gifs.

Anyways, keep yer eyes peeled for even more updating goodness! Apparently people like those epilogues. I was actually beginning to wonder.

Sprites, Pirate Games

Well, well, well, a GOOD update this week. Who knew?

Well, I’ve finally updated that pirate section with a pretty substantial update. Not only are there new pirate games up, but I also reorganized it a bit. Not GB multicarts are in the GB section. I never figured there’d be so many ……. but what do I know? I ALSO made neat thumbnails, so now the page will not take forever to load. I’ve been meaning to do that for a long while now, but only now have I gotten around to it.

And now: sprites update! I added neat MM3 costumed sprites and those are in the Sprite Gallery under: customs. They have a “new tank” nest to them. I also added old sprite sheets Pixelboy ripped for MM4 GB. Pixelboy has been gone since 1998 and I figure, since I can’t contact him or nuthin’, that he’d be glad his work’s used. So, what are MM4 sprites doing on the MM3 team? Who knows!

As weeks go this one hasn’t been so bad. I saw Lord of the Rings, which was spectacular. All in all pretty nice. Oh, yeah, I had a pretty good debate in the Dreamwave forums about the ‘ol “MM is X” issue. Alot of good points were brought up, but I think the only ones I haven’t heard before was: A) Dr. Light would actually NOT want MM to trade his memories for sentience and B) Wily would create the Zero Virus, aid Sigma, and crash a colony into the planet thereby ruining it to SPITE his rival Doctor Light who (as far as he knows) died 100 years ago. Haven’t heard anyone HONESTLY defend these points, so I guess I’m a little surprised people can believe that over the answer being “MM actually IS X”. Well, I can’t say I won the debate, but I don’t think I lost either. With the complete lack of proof either way, people tend to stick to what their first impression than be persuaded otherwise. But you can read it all here. It was all pretty interesting and I think I’m done arguing over it for another 6 months or so.

Epilogues, Sprites

Series 5 chugs along with another new epilogue! This one actually taking place IN Series 5! No flashbacks or anything. Behold as the ‘Maniacs move into their new base in the newest ep made by yours truly.

The sprites gallery is also seeing an update. I’ve updated the “Gauntlet sprites” gallery with a new recolour of my Doc Robot sprite (in official colours now) and a new custom – Needleman EXE! It’s my first EXE style sprite so I think I did a good job of it. But, the main sprite gallery is also updated. Under “Custom Sprite Creations” I’ve put my second Captain N Sprite Sheet! The first one was surprisingly successful (and got me connected to CaptainN.net to boot) so I’ve made a second. This one features MUCH better sprites than the first with customs and scratch sprites. It has a nice “New tank” right next to it, so it’s impossible to miss.

So, how about that Halloween banner? Pretty freaky, eh? I bet it gave some of you guys chills. Since it was up for only a week, I’ll leave it up for another week.

Also, I noticed the quizzes were somewhat …… totally screwed up. Yeah. Well, those have been fixed too.

For this last segment, I’d like to showcase other “Mechanical Maniacs” across the web. See, even though we have the very unlikely team name of “Mechanical Maniacs”, there are two other pages on the net featuring the SAME name! Mechanical Maniacs – A Japanese (maybe) site featuring mecha! Mechanical Maniacs – A team of mechanics making ….. stuff! Other Mechanical Maniacs ….. unless you become Megaman Teams ….. we salute you!

Sprites, Reorganization

I wasn’t in the mood for so much this week. Hence the late update. But what the Hell?
Most noteworthy thing is that several custom sprites have been added to the “Gauntlet’s sprites” section in the Sprite Gallery. They turned out alright.

Next, there’s been a bit of organization. Allot of the articles once found in the left frame have been sent to the Mice. Section under a new heading: “Articles”! The Guides section has also been organized so it isn’t a complete mess anymore.

Lastly the poll is over. Throughout the whole thing the two sides were split dead even. And, while it looks like most of the time the size works just fine for most people, almost the same number would appreciate more options. So, I guess I’ll add one more size to the Wallpapers for a grand total of TWO choices in size. I don’t think the four usual choices are really necessary. “Small” and “Medium” will do. Those of you with “monster-sized” monitors will just have to make do.

But that’ll be for next update. Or something. Not in a mood to make better resolutions of the current “good” wallpapers right now

Secret Page, Chinese Games, Image Gallery, Sprite Gallery, Wallpapers, Links

Okay, there’s a lotta little updates today.. First off someone else found the secret page. Centaurman! Congrats. And now ….. the secret page competition has been suspended. The link has been removed and all the secret stuff deleted. It’ll return eventually, but for now, the search is over.

I’ve added a couple new games to the Chinese games page. I’ve had them for a while now, but never got around to posting them ….. until today.

The Image Gallery has a few new images. Some in fan art and some in my own art section. They’re all pretty good so check ’em out.

We have some new sprites. Ryan Quick donated some Rockman Zero 2 sprites. In the sprites gallery, little “new” button beside them. Also some donated sprites are in the Gauntlet sprite gallery. Thanks, guys. Although some are kinda weird, it’s the thought that counts.

I’ve added the Geminiman Wallpaper tot he Wallpapers section (which is in the Downloads section). It’s one of my better ones I think.

Finally, I’ve added a pretty snazzy new banner by our own Topman. Had to scale it down a little (sorry, Tops), but it still kicks ass. It’s in the links section.

Finally, I have a bit of an announcement to make.

I’m having allot of hard times in real life so I’m taking a break. Not shutting down the site, but I have bigger things to worry about right now than keeping this place steadily maintained. I’m still reachable at the forums, mind, but I’m taking a break. I don’t wanna even think about updating and content. Don’t ask when I’ll be back. Probably not before the end of August, but probably not too long after. I dunno. But I DO know I need time off.

So, peruse the site. Look through our dozens of older sections. And come back later.

Sprite Gallery, Secret Page

Well, the sprite gallery has been updates with Rockman Zero 2 sprites! Specifically the new techniques. Thanks goes to Blackheart for donating these sprites to me. They can be located in the sprite gallery.

The Secret Page has been updated. I’ve added a FAQ to the section with such popular questions as, “Can you tell me where the secret page is?” and “Does the secret page even exist?” Also, due to popular demand, I have added a TIP to FINDING the secret page! However, since I can’t make things THAT easy for you, I have hidden the tip somewhere on the site. I’ve given the secret page itself a nice overhaul so finding it has extra incentive!

Uh, also ….. don’t bother asking Beverly where the secret page is. I’ve changed the link since then.

Well, all this secret page stuff pretty much took the entire week, really. Uh …… but, hey why not check out Planet Megaman? Or go outside or something?

Or, hey, go see League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Sure, it’s not quite the comic, but I liked it. Worth my $8!

Epilogue, Sprites, Introduction

Well, well, well, another new epilogue! This one starts off the Series finale for Series 4! No more clowning around it’s time to take the Decepticons down!

I’ve added more sprites to the Gauntlet sprite gallery. One of Roll and a few of Gauntlet in MM7 style (mainly because I didn’t like my last MM7 style Gauntlet). I think I did a good job, so go and check it out!

And I’ve also changed the introduction. The last one was getting a little stale so I figured it was time for a change.
