From Tanomikomu Shop:
Needless to say, this should come as great news for fans of the Stardroids who, IMO, haven't gotten much attention in the past decade or so. Also, take note of alien Duo on the right flap; good chance we'll have a RM8 story this time around, too.
Rockman Gigamix volume 2 ships February 27th.
Awesome... I really hope the Gigamix series hits US shelves sometime!
ReplyDeleteAlso- DUOOOOOOO!
If Megaman Megamix does well here in the US, it would only be a matter of time before Gigamix comes. So if you all want to see this over here, support (that means buying, not downloading) the official (not the fan-made) release of Megamix.
ReplyDeleteAlso, one look at Terra and its "Holy..*KABLAM*" for me.
Sweeet!!! I can not wait for this to come over here!!
ReplyDeleteAlien Duo on the cover? I guess that means this'll be covering MM8 too? Spaced out, man.
ReplyDeleteIt's already up for pre-order on Amazon.co.jp:

I'm inappropriately excited about the release of this book. The black eyes are a nice touch, it makes the Stardroids look that much more alien.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the image on the left flap AstroMan before his remodel by Wily? I'm surprised it hasn't been pointed out yet. His body definitely holds the same composure and it does keep with the space motif of the artwork.
ReplyDeleteThats Duo it means may hes the hidden char.?....
ReplyDeleteNo matter how many times I look at Terra's design, it makes me think that Subaru's SSR form design is based on it.
ReplyDeleteDuo could be only a extra. The yellow robot to the left is a robot Wily was tinkering with in a artwork from MM2 or 3:

Still, we've seen old designs used in newer games, (Blade Man, Solar Man). I don't see his placement on the dust jacket as pure coincidence, especially since a major character from the same game appears in his original form on the opposite jacket, and he just fits with the space motif of vol. 2.
ReplyDelete@KidWillow: Huh? I don't see any similarities...
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is...HOLY SHIT
ReplyDeleteTrenoNekoKnight,
ReplyDeleteIts just a Flyboy, nothing more. why is it so hard to figure he put a random stage enemy on the jacket?
Flyboy has a quite different design. That's some yet unnamed robot from promotional art.
ReplyDeleteIve always been a fan of the stardroids and im hoping that their appearance is such a case with the next volume.
