Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 11 Comments
A Deadline report from last year revealed that Dentsu Entertainment USA had teamed up with Man of Action Entertainment to create a new Mega Man animated series. We haven’t heard much about the project since then, but it still appears to be happening.
Destructoid came across an updated landing page from Dentsu Entertainment USA which reconfirms Deadline’s original article. The cartoon is on track for a 2017 launch in line with Mega Man’s 30th anniversary. A logo has also appeared, which you can get a look at above.

Capcom survey asks about Mega Man 11, collections fans would be interested in
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 105 Comments
Capcom included a link to a survey in the Japanese version of Mega Man Legacy Collection. Two questions in particular stand out.
At one point of the survey, Capcom asks if “you would like to play a new entry in the classic series (like Mega Man 11).” A third section pertains to future collections, and asks which past series (X, Zero, Legends, Battle Network, ZX, Star Force) fans would like to see in a package.
I’m not one to make a big deal out of surveys, but this one is a bit interesting. Will anything materialize based on how fans respond? That I’m unsure of!
