It was Magic Man ages ago for me
I’m sitting here week after week, taking inRobot Master boss reveals forMega Man 11like they’re big-ticketSuper Smash Bros.fighter announcements. I know I’m basically alone in my bliss, but the excitement behind the reveals brought me back to an era whereeveryMega Mangame (generally throughX5) kept me guessing.
MostMega Manfans know this, but once upon a time Capcom actually held a series of contests asking fans to help design bosses for the game. For theMega Man 6competition (the first that allowed international entries), I sent in a crude rendition of my own creation “Magic Man,” which eventually made his debut many years later inRockman & Forte. As it turns outI wasn’t the only personwho had this concept in mind (it’s crazy that I vividly remember these Nintendo Power submissions.)
Still, I take a certain pride in knowing that maybe, some Capcom designer looked at my drawing and thought “some day.” Does anyone else have a creation or concept of their own to share? Or maybeyou feel like creating your own in-house.
