Mega Man (video game)/Trivia


 * Defictionalization: In honor of 9's release, the famous E-Tank was turned into a real life energy drink.
 * And now you can drink your coffee from one!
 * This one is better though
 * Development Gag: Several. For instance, Commando Man was Search Man's original name.
 * The Robot Masters of Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10 are primarily based on old fan submissions. Hornet Man, Tornado Man, Pump Man, Solar Man and Blade Man are just the ones we know about.
 * Earlier than that, some submissions were used as the basis of characters in later games; Drill Man from Mega Man 4 is based on a fan design that had originally evolved into Crash Man.
 * Executive Meddling: Why Mega Man 3 is one of Inafune's least favorites. He said that it could've been a much better game if the team was given more time to polish it, but Capcom wanted it released as soon as possible to capitalize on the momentum garnered from the second game, and he had to replace the head of production to complete it. However, the third game is still loved by most of the general public, rivaling Mega Man 2 for most popular.
 * Fan Nickname: The peashooter/P-shooter for the Mega Buster, as its symbol on the weapon select screen is "P" and due to its Boring, but Practical nature.
 * Official Fan-Submitted Content: Monster designs are often from contests.
 * Remade for the Export: The GBA version of Mega Man & Bass.
 * Uncanceled: Mega Man 9 might have just been one for the fans, but its sales numbers revived the series, and Mega Man 10 has been released.
