Some of the most successful corners of the franchise - Battle Network and Star Force specifically - placed our protagonist(s) in a school setting. In my opinion, though, I say it's likely Mega Man will be attending school. The program we'll be watching next year may or may not take a page from Dreamwave's playbook. Why didn't I make a blog post about this? The source of this information - a good friend who currently works in Western animation and comic books - indicated these were preliminary notes scribed during the "brainstorming" phase of production before Man of Action and Capcom settled on a unified vision. The idea here is to provide Mega Man with a foundation to discover his humanity, living among children his own "age." Further, the school setting is meant to provide the target demographic with a relatable context.

Now, this is concept isn't entirely foreign to the franchise Dreamwave's short lived Mega Man comic placed Mega Man (i.e "Rocky") in a similar locale. In this small (and I mean really small) set of notes, the show was described to largely take place in a "middle or high school" setting. Yeah I do know a little something about the show.īack in April, I received a portion of early production notes dated somewhere between January-February 2015. This was a topic I was tweeting about extensively last month, albeit cryptically. This month I talk about the 2017 Mega Man cartoon, new games for 2016, the Rockman X3 prototype and more! Shall we?ġ) What do you know about the 2017 Mega Man cartoon?

I often receive questions about different Mega Man topics, so I'm rounding everything up here in a new monthly feature called "Ask Protodude." These queries come through my e-mail, Twitter and even the comments here.
