From The Weird News Department...

Sure, you might have thought Mega Man was just a bold android video game hero, bent on stopping Dr. Wily at every juncture....but, what you probably don't know about the Blue Bomber is that he has an off-shore corporation specializing in energy-efficient light bulbs:



What you just witnessed was the inner sanctum of MEGAMAN® corporation , a European based lamp and light bulb manufacturer with stations in China.  The relation to Capcom's Mega Man is in title only, so don't expect these guys to produce lamps or bulbs named after Robot Masters and the like.

What a peculiar name for a light bulb company...

  1. I think the ligh bulbs are from Europe since I knew about theese a VERY long time ago.

  2. That's crazy, but not unexpected. Heck, there's a "Rockman" amplifier that existed before the games (and partially, though not fully, had something to do with the Western name change). I wonder though: How long has this company been around?

  7. Hm, Ironic that their company's color is also blue XD
    It would be nice if capcom hired them to do something, or if capcom only used their light-bulbs.
