Your Questions, Answered by Inafune!

The Blue Ink Reviews: Mega Man #30 – Betrayals and Bananas
It was a Robot Master free-for-all when we left off in issue 29, and the fireworks continue right off page one. Mega Man would have a tough go of it if he were fighting by himself, but with Guts Man, Cut Man, and Bomb Man forming The Wreckers for support, he’s a little better off.
Wanted: Your Questions for Inafune
Wow, it feels like only yesterday that we were last asking for your questions for Keiji Inafune (the results of which, if you missed them, are right here). But now it’s that time again, though it’s admittedly not for our own interview.

As it so happens, he just finished up his month-long Mega Man marathon with the one-two punch of Mega Man 9 and Mega Man 10, so here’s everything he’s done since the last time we posted, in case you weren’t keeping up.

Looking Back: Mega Man & Bass
p>As part of our celebration of the Mega Man series hitting its 25th anniversary, we are featuring a look back at many of the games of the Classic series. For this entry, I’ll be looking Mega Man & Bass, a game that was the chronological last game in the classic series until the end of the hiatus with 2008’s Mega Man 9. Beyond featuring Bass as a playable character, MM&B has a number of innovations and features some of the most difficult levels in the series.
Exclusive Twitter Interview with Makoto Tomozawa
One of our readers,
OKeijiDragon, conducted an interview with composer Makoto Tomozawa via
Twitter last year. The interview was posted on Dash Republic (now
defunct), and later his Tumblr account. The interview wasn’t getting
much attention, so he was kind enough to send it to us. You can check
out some highlights from the now re-edited and expanded interview after the cut.
Mighty No. 9 Getting a Collaboration with… Yaiba?

all else, his a cappella versions of some of the most memorable tracks

tracks from Mega Man X, the soaring Storm Eagle stage theme.

Preview Pages for Mega Man #30

Man and his allies get out of their current jam, as new preview pages
are now available!

A Conversation with Keiji Inafune
Recently, the Mighty No. 9 Kickstarter page posted an interview with Keiji Inafune and 2 Player Productions
covering topics related to the campaign and the game in general. This
interview took place a month before the Kickstarter went live, so it
will be interesting to see what his thoughts were before seeing the fan
reactions.
For those of you
who do not have time to watch the video, we have transcribed the
interview below. However, we do encourage you to watch the original
video. It’s much more interesting when you see the expression on
Inafune’s face, and the tone of his voice. It really gives you a
different experience that text alone can’t supply.
