Udon is putting out an “Official Complete Works” book for theMega Man Battle Networkseries. It shall be glorious. As a lifelong Mega Man fan, I can fully endorse these books. Udon has put out three of them so far (one for OGMega Man, one forMega Man X, and one forMega Man Zero) and they’ve all been awesome, particularly the OGMega Manedition. It was there that I learned that Mega Man was originally called Rainbow Battle Miracle Kid. Pretty rad.
In related news, and artist namedLogan Zawackiis putting out a limited edition art-book (or in this case, more like art-three-ring-binder) containing blueprints for Mega Man and all his robo-brothers and sisters. Only 50 will be released, and they’ll cost $100 each. He started the project in 2009, so we can’t be certain if the bosses fromMega Man 10will be included, but from the website, we can see that he goes up to at leastMega Man 8. The blueprint for Search Man, the two headed military boss fromMega Man 8, is in full effect, and it’s creepy.
That reminds me, I still need to beat the NES demake ofMega Man 8. I wonder what dot-art SearchMan looks like?
