Yes, I believe that is exactly the case!

They didn't quite pull X1 off either!

A bug caused a recall on the software and it delayed the actual release for almost 2 weeks.

Some commemorative books listed the sale date as 12/29, but by the 20th anniversary Capcom either entirely forgot it had happened or just stopped acknowledging it.

While the French site got a more literal translation from the Japanese, French fans know of the term Robot Master. It was used in the Mega Man 11 Limited Collector’s Edition. Some Fr language gaming news sites are still calling it a robot master contest, though these articles may be AI translated.

With the announcement that Mega Man: Dual Override would feature a Robot Master Design Contest again, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at the history of this interesting contest throughout the Mega Man series. 🧡

Regional adoption of the term β€œRobot Master” based on the language settings of the Mega Man Dual Override official site.

This was but a blur on my late 90s 18” CRT television with RF input cables.

Who could blame you when human proofreading died in the 20th century?

Why if I were, oh say hypothetically, the producer of a certain anthology comic series, I bet I’d be bragging on Twitter about how I personally did essentially ZERO script editing. 😝

Nice archive work!
IMO the title changed from NEO to DASH in late Aug 97 (per the ROMs).
Magazines are written ~2.5 months ahead, so too late for VJump’s Oct issue but in time for Nov.
VFest was July 31 so it used NEO but the video covering it was finished in Sept so they edited in the final name.

I do really like this image of robots going berserk while a human is freaking out (or being kicked?)

As much as I’m glad this folder exists and I will certainly try to get one, I am not a fan of the decision to showcase a mostly blank page with just the title written on it. I’m sure there must have been many more interesting pages to consider. I’m partial to this one

Cut Man and Guts Man are iconic characters and exist here very close to their final form, though it looks like Cut might be number 005 and Guts 012 instead of numbers 3 and 4. It’s a little hard to tell at this resolution.

There are also some notes here brainstorming weakness chains.
(Strong) (Weak)
Stone ⇄ Scissors
Bomb ⇄ Stone
Fire ⇄ Oil
Magnet ⇄ Scissors

An 8 boss stage select. Some look familiar, but no names are given.

My guess as to their identities (clockwise from upper left):
GutsMan, CutMan, a knight with a shield(?), BombMan, BondMan, MagnetMan, ElecMan(?), OilMan

The Story page’s text is very close to what was in the R1 manual, except we have professors White and Brown instead of Right and Wily. Described as childhood friends who went to high school and college together, these two were in competition up until Brown’s sudden disappearance.

I’m delighted at the idea that AI translation is used for hentai so often that we’ve reached the point it just assumes indecipherable scribbles are sex noises and innuendos, and then just phones it in like Steve Martin’s weatherman character in LA Story.
