It's hard to actually use the word lore in association with
Mega Man. That's a word we generally save for
Star Wars, Star Trek, Middle Earth and maybe
LOST, but it's appropriate when pertaining to series character designer Keiji Inafune's
mini-Q&A with the Capcom blog. In it, Inafune (who also produced
Dead Rising and the
Onimusha series) answers important, nitpicky questions about Zero's ability to kill, the relationship between Zero and Sigma and its significance and Dr. Wily's (non) presence in the
Mega Man X series.
Also noted is that, given the chance, Inafune would've loved to see Mega Man in
Smash Bros. Brawl. What you won't see, however, is
Mega Man with co-op multiplayer. "I think this is quite difficult--even close to impossible with the current style of Mega Man," he said. Our suggestion: Player 1 moves, Player 2 aims the arm. Use some cheesy plot device about Mega Man's arm being possessed. Hey, it worked in
Metal Gear Solid.
