After having a lot of success with the Arcades and the home ports of Arcade gems, Capcom wanted to create something that would be their own original IP for Consoles. They wanted to have a series that could rival Mario at the time. Directed by Akira Kitamura and Programmed by Nobuyuki Matsushima, Capcom had assembled a small team to work on the first game designed with console in mind. Yasuaki Kishimoto, Naoya Tomita, Keiji Inafune and Kitamura all worked on the Art for the game and Manami Matsumae Composed the Soundtrack. This was the entire team, only six people made Mega Man. Inafune says that Osamu Tezuka’s Astro Boy Influenced the design of Mega Man.
