Rockman’s appeal transcends genre, medium, or decade. Stepping away from gaming, Capcom’s hero has starred in a handful of anime and Western cartoons, with 2018's Mega Man: Fully Chargedserving as the most contemporary example. Reports estimate Capcom's franchise has surpassed 33 million sold units worldwide, a figure pre-dating Mega Man 11. Three decades later, Mega Man has 11 core games, six other series with their own range of sequels, various spin-offs, and more remakes than Disney's latest release schedule. In 1987, Capcom published a visually stunning but hard-as-nails action platformer called Rockman to rapturous applause from critics and a shrug from customers.
Capcom has an annoying habit of periodically forgetting about its iconic blue mascot, but Mega Man's impact on gaming culture cannot and should not be understated.
