As Capcom prepares to celebrate 30 years of Mega Man , we’re expecting to see a new game and an animated series as part of the celebration. As far as the new game goes, I’m a little disheartened because I have a strong feeling it’ll be a mobile game. Capcom released a survey in Japan gauging interest in a new Mega Man game while at the same time gauging interest in mobile games. Soon after, Capcom formed its new mobile division with the sole purpose of leveraging its strongest IPs to make new smartphone / tablet games. I’m sure you can predict the next step as well as I can.
The animated series is still something of a mystery. We haven’t even seen as much as a concept sketch or teaser trailer, but we know it’s in the works. Dentsu Entertainment USA revealed last June that the show would debut in 2017, but we haven’t heard anything else from them until now. Dentsu issued this brief statement on its official website: “Acting as the lead creative producer and financer, DEUSA is developing an all new cartoon series based upon the iconic Capcom video game series MegaMan, which has sold over 30 million copies since it first appeared on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987.” They could have at least given us a .gif or something, but hey, we do get a spiffy new logo (pictured above)!
