Rockman Elysium

CONNECTION TO OTHER WORKS

The setting of Rockman X is established about 100 years after the world of Rockman. It seems that after Dr. Light built Rockman, he developed X as a still more advanced version. Also, someone resembling Wily can be glimpsed in Zero’s vicinity.


Rockman series

Action games popular since the days of the Famicom [Japanese NES]. The story consists of fighting against Wily, who plots to take over the world. In addition to Rock and Dr. Light, appealing characters such as Forte, Blues, Roll, and Rush appear. They’re known as extremely difficult games.



[Translator’s Personal Opinion: Even as late as the Compendium, Capcom is still being coy about who built Zero. His personal history section begins. “Who developed Zero, for what purpose, is unclear.” They do drop broad hints, though, like this one here. Personally, I’d like to see them take their own statements seriously, and have it turn out to be someone who only resembles Wily. Maybe it’s Albert’s little-known younger brother, Berthold Wily? ^_^
