Arika Vice President Teases Mystery Mega Man Design
By Lewis "lickety" Larcombe|March 13, 2024|0 Comment
In an unexpected turn of events, Ichiro Mihara, vice president of the renowned Japanese developer and publisher Arika, has set the Mega Man community abuzz with speculation after sharing a cryptic image of a previously unseen Mega Man design.
The revelation unfolded as Mihara engaged in a conversation on X with manga artist Hitoshi Ariga, who has a history of collaboration with Capcom on various Mega Man projects, including manga comics. Ariga’s mention of his past involvement with creating Mega Man manga and compiling encyclopedias using Capcom’s official artwork sparked Mihara’s response, where he hinted at his own familiarity with the iconic character.

Accompanying Mihara’s edited post was a tantalizing close-up image of a Mega Man helmet, featuring unconventional design elements that deviate from the series’ established aesthetics. Fans have been quick to dissect every detail of the image, noting peculiarities such as the panelling, bolt positioning, and the glowing eyes of Mega Man, which don’t align with any previous game in the franchise.
Speculation regarding the origin of the mysterious image is rampant within the community. Some conjecture that it may be unused concept art from Mihara’s tenure as the producer of the 2003 GameCube title Mega Man: Network Transmission. Others interpret Mihara’s decision to censor parts of the post as a deliberate tease hinting at a potential future Mega Man project.
This revelation comes at a time when Capcom’s approach to new Mega Man games has been under scrutiny. While the company has expressed considerations for future entries in the series, recent years have seen a scarcity of entirely new titles, with the focus primarily on retro compilations of older Mega Man games. But it would be nice to see a return of the franchise now, wouldn’t it?
