Capcom is celebrating Mega Man’s 30th anniversary with some kind of live stream

Capcom is going to host a livestream celebrating Mega Man’s 30th anniversary on December 4. You’ll be able to watch it on Twitch at 11 a.m. Pacific. Capcom announced the stream by sending out cards to some outlets, including Siliconera. The card includes the note, “You won’t want to miss it.”

Mega Man was once one of Capcom’s most important franchises, but the series has laid mostly dormant since 2010’s Mega Man 10. Outside of collections and bad mobile games, the franchise has hosted more cancellations (including Mega Man Universe and Mega Man Legends 3) than new releases in recent memory. Yet Mega Man remains an iconic character. The series has inspired merchandise, rock bands, and comics. A new cartoon based on Mega Man is also coming out next year. Combine all that with the retro revolution, and it seems like Mega Man is ready for a comeback.
