This changed with Rockman & Forte’s final form being the “Wily UFO”, and sometime after that they started referring to pretty much any vehicle Wily uses that flies as a Wily UFO. “Capsule” was the term for the vehicles Wily would do battle in after a Wily Machine was defeated. To my knowledge, throughout most of the 90’s (until around Rockman 8), the UFO was the term for the vehicles Wily would ride around in, waggling his eyebrows as he typically sped off to some skull-themed fortress stage. So it seems to me that the Japanese story focuses more on the first fortress, and the English story on the second.ĭo the Wily Machines in III and Wily Wars and IV’s final boss (after the Wily Robo Iron Golem) have official Japanese names? I’ve heard the latter be called a Wily Capsule, but it seems “Wily UFO” is a more likely name (Capsules are usually separate things). There’s no mention of an offshore oil rig drilling for magma energy to be found in the Japanese manual, despite the final Wily steampunk-themed fortress that emerges from below the sea. The manga implies that computers around the world are being hacked by signals sent from the first Wily fortress in the game. Months after the last battle (meaning Rockman World 2), a supercomputer (or a network of supercomputers, perhaps) that regulates things like automated transportation, localized weather control, and municipal and industrial resource needs appear to go haywire in cities all over the world, followed by robot rampages. The one in Mega Man Official Complete Works and MM25 is, exactly as you thought, an English translation of the Japanese plot synopsis.
Just how different is the Japanese plot to the Western one? The plot for Mega Man III I’ve read in MM25 seems completely different to that on most wikis (less oil rig takeovers, more supercomputers going nuts basically). As my holiday gift to you, I’m going to finally address some of the talking points on the Ask page.
