One of my favorite pieces ofMega Manmerch isMega Man Official Complete Works. Released in Japan asR20: Rockman & Rockman X Official Complete Worksand localized by UDON intotwoseparatevolumes, this book (or pair of books) covers the entire Classic andXseries, featuring production team insights, artwork from each game, and so many other goodies from the first 20 years of the franchise’s history. If you haven’t purchased your copies yet, do so before the latest print run is exhausted. Who knows when UDON will pump out a fresh batch.
Or perhaps youshouldwait a while longer..
According to Capcom’sRockman Unity, a “Revised Edition” ofR20is being prepped for the 25th anniversary. It’ll contain everything from the original book while likely adding more recent content, such asMega Man 9and10. There will also be new illustrations provided by Hitoshi Ariga and Yoshihiro Iwamoto, the authors of the legendaryMega ManMegamix/GigamixandRockman Xmangas respectively.
I will definitely be buying this beast when it hits Japan, but it would be super awesome if UDON pulls through yet again and brings it over.
