Mega Man / Rockman (Famicom) Japanese Packaging / Box Art Translation

Mega Man / Rockman (Famicom) (12.17.87)

The original cover is extremely fun and lighthearted, a far cry from all the directions various Mega Man sub-series would later take. Back in the 80s and early 90s, there was a general apprehension among companies about marketing with the "anime style". Nowadays, almost everyone would agree this is far superior to what we got in the states.

Go! Go! Rockman!!

The year is 200X AD. With the advancements of science, people have invented humanoid robots for industrial use. Dr. Light, the Number 1 robot inventor, has had six of his robots go mad, one after another! The one who seems to have taken control of the robots is the evil genius, Dr. Wily.


Dr. Light sends out his household robot "Rock," whom he's always cherished like his own son. In order to put a stop to Dr Wily's diabolical plans, “Rock” has undergone renovations to become the battle robot known as "Rockman"...
