Here Are Our Mega Man 10/Rockman 10 Package Design Winners
It seems almost like forever ago that Capcom announced their contest in creating a package design for Rockman 10 or Mega Man 10, a game that requires no package. Well the day has come that the three main prize winners, as well as five runner ups, have been decided. And here they are!
Winner of the Capcom Prize
Artist: Y.K of Aichi
Artist’s comment: I gave it a shot drawing this on my first PC. Since I’d used Forte by then through downloadable content, I tried drawing him in as well.
Comment from MM10 producer Takeshita: This picture overflows with the happiness of children pleading when lining up in a toy shop. The production of the brightly shining effect behind Rockman and co. is also very deep. The package designs for 3 and 4, and 9 too, now that I think of it, have this direction. And being full of the boss characters’ faces drawn in, it’s wonderful.
Winner of the Rockman 10 Prize
Artist: YUJIN of Hiroshima
Artist’s comment: I tried making this with a serious and dramatic atmosphere. Besides that, I’m happy with how many Rockman figures are being sold this year.
Comment from MM10 director Ito: Making this with CG models must have taken a lot of time and work. You really feel affection for Rockman. It’s very pleasant how this picture is created with CG models, without destroying atmosphere of classic Rockman. With Wily appearing a little bit kind, I wonder if this takes influence from this game’s scenario. It would be very interesting to see CG models like these of Rockman and the bosses moving around.
Winner of the Nico Video Prize
Artist: Jintaro Shinsaka
Artist’s comment: In the tradition of “Mega Man,” I drew this while being conscious of the odd American comic book style. I couldn’t express the original character designs suspiciously very well, so I resolutely changed them all into old men. I would enjoy people finding fun in guessing at which is who.
Comment from Nico Video manager Megane: I was going to choose a Nico Video-like work, one overflowing with gags. As the creator himself indicated, this American comic book quality is extremely cool! Rockman’s (Mega Man’s) facial expression, and of course the bosses too, are made incredibly well, and impressive! By the way, Commando Man looks just like one of our employees. (laughs)
And below are the five runner ups.

Seeing the “Mega Man” pieces really makes me wonder what Japanese fans think of us… Anyway! I also expect the Capcom*Unity Prize to be announced soon, so stay tuned!

Shinsaka’s MegaMan scares the everloving crap out of me.
Other than that, great designs there!
I think Em’s fits teh Rockman 10 style the most
Em’s shouldn’t have been a runner up
Em should have won, I love that style.
I like YUJIN’s. Those models look really good. Azi’s is just scary.
And Jintaro reveals just the kind of reputation we must have to the Japanese fans…
–LBD “Nytetrayn”
I’m going to go with the flow, I really like Em’s design! It’s amazing, I don’t see how it wouldn’t score first rank (or at worst, a very close second!)
Y.K’s one also suits Mega Man well, but the other two? YUJIN’s may have a lot of work behind the models, but the final result isn’t really that appealing (maybe cellshading would yield a better result?) and while I like Jintaro Shinsaka’s style and his redesigns of the Robot Masters… I wouldn’t like to have that image on my game box! ^.^U
Really cool entries! The Capcom prize winner did a fantastic job!
Haha, I really love Jintaro Shinsaka art, it’s absolutely genious, that doesn’t make it any less creepy, though.
Azi’s Megaman looks like Brock Samson xD
Shinsaka’s cover of MM10 cracked me up. I also dig Rio’s style.
Azi’s Mega Man scares the hell out of me. O_O
Sad part is, all of the runner-ups are better than the “Rockman 10 Winner”.
The 3D rendered Wily gives me the shivers.
I actually did enter the contest… I wonder if I will be chosen by Capcom-Unity, or possibly a friend of mine who also entered.
My entry is the NES one in Green around the box.
The first place winner looks and feels generic to me. Jintaro’s mde me laugh. Pumpman looks friggin’ Creepy.
Gives me a Cho Aniki Vibe, though with it.
Love how Jintaro’s Commandoman looks like a Certain member of Cobra from the old school GI Joe.
Jintaro made Solar Man look like Master Roshi. XD
