A few days ago, we reported that Keiji Inafune will be making an appearance at his own panel and signing event at the Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle later this month, and we have been invited to an interview with “The Father of Mega Man.” We will be joining Mark MacDonald of 8-4 Ltd., Tony Ponce […]

Mega Man fans who are attending the Penny Arcade Expo from August 30th to September 2nd are in for a special treat, as none other than Keiji Inafune will be in attendance! Those hoping to see the man who many hail as the “Father of Mega Man” will have the opportunity to do so on […]

With Keiji Inafune recently dropping by San Francisco, it looks like he made his way to the Mega Man Boss Battle art gallery. Not only that, but he was caught doing a little Mega graffiti, too. It’s nice to see how much respect Inafune still has for Mega Man even though he can no longer […]

So, a funny thing happened over on the Facebook group 100,000 Strong for Bringing Back Mega Man Legends 3, aka “Get Me Off the Moon.” Following the success of their interview with Reika Morishita, Skybane Zero thought he would try his luck with none other than “The Father of Mega Man” himself, Keiji Inafune. After […]

Thanks to a tip from Mugendude26, we’ve learned that the latest issue of Game Informer magazine, number 238, features a special four-page section dedicated to celebrating the 25th anniversary of the Blue Bomber. Among the features included are Q&As with Keiji Inafune, Hayato Tsuru, and Hironobu Takeshita, asking such questions as who their favorite Robot […]

Here’s a scene from the Rockman 20th anniversary event Capcom held in Tokyo five years ago. I think it’s safe to say right now that Capcom of Japan is probably not planning such an event for the 25th anniversary (although fans are, at least). The event was a veritable Mega Man museum, containing playable classics, […]

The pic at right came from PlayStation Europe’s Twitter a few months back, following a visit from none other than former Mega Man Producer Keiji Inafune to their offices. And, as is often his custom, he even made a quick sketch of the Blue Bomber for the staff there. But this one is a little […]

1UP has posted an article about Mega Man father-figure Keiji Inafune as a part of their “Daring Games and Designers” cover story for this week, one which looks back at some of Inafune’s comments about the state of the Japanese video game industry and Capcom from his time working at said company. If nothing else, […]

Earlier this month the annual Japan Expo was held in Paris, France. Numerous big names in Japanese culture and media were in attendance, including the “Father of Mega Man” Keiji Inafune.  Ancode Udw, a huge Mega Man fan and a member of the Facebook group 100,000 Strong for Mega Man Legends 3, traveled from Spain to […]

Back before Keiji Inafune worked on games where giant spaceships wore his face, and magician’s pulled their spines out of their mouths, he was a high up guy at a certain company called Capcom. One of the games he was known for was this game Mega Man. Maybe you’ve heard of it. The above video […]

Recently, some of IGN’s staff had an opportunity to meet real-life Mega Man father-figure Keiji Inafune. Naturally, they did what many of us have wanted to do over the years… Unfortunately for them, it seems they forgot that Inafune no longer has anything to do with the Mega Man series, though he’ll clearly pretend if […]

Speaking at the Game Developers Conference, Mega Man creator Keiji Inafune discussed the current state of the Japanese game industry in a speech entitled “The Future of Japanese Games.” In it he hit on the decline of Japanese video gaming, a subject that got him in hot water a few years ago. He attacked the tendency […]
