Mega Man's obvious music influence

In Mega Man

Capcom's series of Megaman has hints of music lovers written all over them! Megaman, as we call him in North America, is actually named Rock Man. Doesn't seem like too much to it, huh? On the other hand, his friendly female counter-parts name is Roll! I even found out just today that Proto-Man's real name is Blues! Then there are all the others such as Beat, Bass, Treble, etc. I think it's great that music can be incorporated into more than one way into video games.


Ooh yeah and all the robots are made of "Heavy Metal"! Ooh and uh Megaman (or Rockman) has to "Hip-Hop" to get across platforms. Yeah.
And uh Dr. Wily is a mean uh "Punk".

Hey your right. There is a lot of musical references in the game!



wow.

lol. Megaman is my favorite game.
i unlocked the interview on Megaman aniversary collection. it said the same thing. about rock and roll, and stuff like that.

There's a Megaman collection???
I never heard of that. (I think it didn't come out in Europe).
I want to have it, too!

you can go online and order it from america or japan.

Yeah that's great and all guys but I'm not quite finished with my Megaman musical references yet...

-Crash Man has the word "crash" in his name, which is a type of cymbal used on a drum set.

-Megaman's robotic canine companion is called "Rush", which is the name of a Canadian progressive-rock band.

-Elec Man almost sounds like "electro", which is a form of synthesized electronic music.

-The name "Ice Man" was also the nickname of R&B legend Jerry Butler.

The list goes on and on...

Great things you found out.
I didn't realize all that before.
Very very interesting!

If you know more, please post it.

Rock was named Megaman here because rock sounds like walk. Walk Man. Gee, I wonder who makes those.

-Crash Man has the word "crash" in his name, which is a type of cymbal used on a drum set... In MM2 for GameBoy, Crash is named Clashman.
