GTV 47 "Mega Man 30" Thirty Years of the Blue Bomber! (Chapter markers and more below...) On December 17, 1987, Capcom released a game known as Rockman in Japan Soon after this game would come to the West as Megaman. You wouldn’t know it then but that one game would be the genesis for one of the best selling series of all time. 30 years later the MegaMan franchise has over a dozen spinoffs and over 100 games overall. To cover all of them would be a little too crazy/but we will take a look at how Megaman the character and the series were created and how the success of these early games laid the foundation for what Megaman has become today. 0:00 GTV ID 0:05 Intro: Grab an E-Can 1:25 Act 1: Design and Development 10:15 CM 1 Rockman 1, 2 and 3 11:50 Act 2: The Series Takes Shape 16:20 CM 2 Rockman 4, 5 and 6 17:20 Act 3: 30 Years and The Ultimate Game List  Why not check out all the Mega Man / Rockman videos I’ve done 8 A Classic Rockman Collection https://youtu.be/aV2cNK7GejU 47 MegaMan 30th Anniversary https://youtu.be/HFzo9Y77asY 51 Elec-Man VS.

As the home game market started to open up/ after the popularity of the Nintendo Family Computer/ Capcom brought many of these titles home. A group of six people were given the task in early 1987 to create a unique home game/ that would set itself apart from the arcade style games that Capcom were known for. The games development team all contributed their parts equally/ and was not a top-down project like most games. One of those assigned to the project was planner/ Akira Kitamura/ credited in Megaman 1 as A.K. In an interview about the early days of Megaman/ he said “Mega Man was developed in a different/ special way.

In the same interview Kitamura AKA A.K. explains the ground rules that were layed out for Mega Man All the game’s stages should be cleared in an hour/ and be something that players would come back to and play all over again. Players should choose whichever stage they liked in any order they wanted.
