Today, Denstu Entertainment announced that a new Mega Man cartoon will permiere on Cartoon Network sometime in 2018 or possibly later.
The demographic for the upcoming series is 6 through 9 and of course those of us who grew up loving (and sometimes hating) the video games. The show will also introduce "Mega Man's alter-ego, Aki Light, a normal, upbeat, schoolboy robot. When activated, his skin re-forms – in a flurry of computer code and visual pyrotechnics – into a suit of impenetrable nanocore armor, including the iconic Mega Buster arm cannon and helmet."
Dentsu Entertainment USA and Man of Action Entertainment are teaming up in the developement of the 26-episode Mega Man series. The Mega Man series was originally thought to hit Cartoon Network this year, the 30th anniversary of the video game, but it doesn't always work that way.
The video game was originally created by CAPCOM in 1987. Many game later, Mega Man is still a house hold name. With the new cartoon kids and future generations can discover exactly how great the Mega Man franchise is.
