I've found it weird how not often this guy isn't used against gamers with that name.
Hey, don't talk shit about my boy Kevin Keene. Man was clean, had a girlfriend, played varsity sports, and was a wiz at Nintendo games to boot. Yeah he was a bit dweeby, but he's a better role model for gamers than most of what we got in real life.
The man himself was a role model. But damn did thst title predict things.
I'm hoping his middle name didn't also start with a K. Captain N, game MASTER
I never understood how these old cartoons got these characters so off model. Like why is Mega Man green? How hard would it have been for Nintendo to send them something like this as a "Hey, just so you know what our character looks like"?
ShowJapanese companies were really weird when dealing with localizations. Like they didn't give a damn about how their stuff was handled by other countries.
Vertical integration and all that was still just a coke fueled pipe dream at the time is why.
This might also have been back before Mega Man had a consistent design.
The art I gave is Japanese concept art the first Mega Man
We're just lucky that they didn't base the design off of the first Mega Man game's box art.
