Fans putting on Mega Rock Fan Fiesta in Japan to celebrate Mega Man

It’s been a fast 25 years since the original “Rockman” for Famicom was born in 1987. In that time, Rockman has grown to be a character beloved all over the world.

In the same period, boys and girls who’ve enjoyed Rockman have grown into adults, and Rockman is active in many forms around the world. I too, as an individual among that crowd, have run along with Rockman since my youth, and today still I continue to walk alongside those characters.

Twenty-five years since Rockman’s birth. Today, Rockman is in a great upheaval. New works and goods still come out with unprecedented fervor, and on the surface everything looks great. But if you look from another perspective, Rockman is now facing his greatest battle in history. Over the course of a quarter century transition, a number of voices declaring “Rockman is finished” have emerged.

Therefore we ought to encourage the feelings of fans who root for Rockman and his future. Cooperating with people who won’t give up on Rockman, and continue to love it, we put together the “MRFF Committee” and have kicked off plans for “the greatest ROckman event in history, to celebrate 25 years.”

And so, this is the Rockman 25th anniversary event we prayed that all fans will convene. A dream collaboration that leaps over the barriers of host and participant; real world and cyber world. It’s because it’s 25 years now that we can do it. This is what’s really a “Xover”!

All Rockman fans, assemble!
