Here Are Our Mega Man 10/Rockman 10 Package Design Winners

It seems almost like forever ago that Capcom announced their contest in creating a package design for Rockman 10 or Mega Man 10, a game that requires no package. Well the day has come that the three main prize winners, as well as five runner ups, have been decided. And here they are!
Winner of the Capcom Prize
Artist: Y.K of Aichi

Artist’s comment: I gave it a shot drawing this on my first PC. Since I’d used Forte by then through downloadable content, I tried drawing him in as well.

Comment from MM10 producer Takeshita: This picture overflows with the happiness of children pleading when lining up in a toy shop. The production of the brightly shining effect behind Rockman and co. is also very deep. The package designs for 3 and 4, and 9 too, now that I think of it, have this direction. And being full of the boss characters’ faces drawn in, it’s wonderful.

Winner of the Rockman 10 Prize
Artist: YUJIN of Hiroshima

Artist’s comment: I tried making this with a serious and dramatic atmosphere. Besides that, I’m happy with how many Rockman figures are being sold this year.

Comment from MM10 director Ito: Making this with CG models must have taken a lot of time and work. You really feel affection for Rockman. It’s very pleasant how this picture is created with CG models, without destroying atmosphere of classic Rockman. With Wily appearing a little bit kind, I wonder if this takes influence from this game’s scenario. It would be very interesting to see CG models like these of Rockman and the bosses moving around.

Winner of the Nico Video Prize
Artist: Jintaro Shinsaka

Artist’s comment: In the tradition of “Mega Man,” I drew this while being conscious of the odd American comic book style. I couldn’t express the original character designs suspiciously very well, so I resolutely changed them all into old men. I would enjoy people finding fun in guessing at which is who.

Comment from Nico Video manager Megane: I was going to choose a Nico Video-like work, one overflowing with gags. As the creator himself indicated, this American comic book quality is extremely cool! Rockman’s (Mega Man’s) facial expression, and of course the bosses too, are made incredibly well, and impressive! By the way, Commando Man looks just like one of our employees. (laughs)

And below are the five runner ups.

Seeing the “Mega Man” pieces really makes me wonder what Japanese fans think of us… Anyway! I also expect the Capcom*Unity Prize to be announced soon, so stay tuned!
