Its said that Capcom originally wanted to make an Astro Boy game, but couldn't get the rights, so they went ahead and made their own property instead.

Mega Man even looks a bit like Astro Boy in the ending of the first game.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the music yet. The whole X series has pretty consistently excellent music. My personal favorite from X1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYdSLaVu9p4&feature=related

The fan community for the music is also great. Of course there's OCRemix, but there's also a ridiculous amount of doujin albums available in Japan.

Example, the album Megalomania by Dangerous Mezashi Cat:

After having played New Super Mario Bros Wii, I immediately began hoping for a multiplayer version of a Mega Man game. Anyone else?

I dunno if anybody's mentioned this, but a fan project called Mega Man 2.5D (remake of Mega Man 2 with some z-axis action) will feature a cooperative two-player mode with Proto Man:

It's demoed at about 0:56 in that video.

EDIT: DISREGARD THIS POST, I CANNOT READ. (It would be really cool though... :()

There was no project. It's an animation. Literally an artist's conception of what such a game would look like, not the actual game itself.

Ah gently caress, I just found the official website for it, you are correct. Now don't I feel like an rear end.
