Mega Man: Dual Override Robot Master Design Contest Ends, Capcom Thanks Fans For "Wonderful" Submissions

Again, every time I log into NintendoLife it asks if I want cookies. The answer yesterday and the day before is no. I will continue to post this until it is resolved. I have emailed support and no one has responded. Is this intentional? Does NintendoLife only stop showing this message if I give them permission to sell my data?

Meant to try submitting one for it but never got around to it. Curious to see what ends up winning.

Very cool. I didn’t know they were doing this or I would’ve gave it a crack. I’m not a great artist but it’d be such an honor to have a hand in the design of a Megaman game. It’s interesting they kept this a suction hand centric contest for a robot design. They clearly were set on this type of character to be in the game, maybe even as a robot master which would even be more fulfilling.

@LoroTalby have you attempted to accept said cookie to let the Nintendolife webserver know you don't wish for cookies? That's how things work.

I remember there being a contest like this when I was a kid. It was so dang cool that they’d let someone design a robot master for an actual Mega Man game! I used to love drawing them, but I never actually submitted any. It’s so awesome that they did this again.

Can’t wait for the new boss, 67 Man. /s

In all seriousness, this is pretty cool.

@Rentaro I have accepted the cookies. I have stated I don’t want my data sold. You actually can’t bypass the cookies as they are required for the site, which I understand. I just don’t want them to be used for marketing. Seems like a pretty easy ask.

I like how they continue the tradition of Robot Master contests. I probably would've done something like Game Man, a RM based on the concept of video games in general, or a female RM... How about Hood Woman (based on Little Red Riding Hood/B.B. Hood) or Scout Woman (a reference to Sailor Moon)?

Off-topic: @LoroTalby
"Do you want cookies?"

Sorry, couldn't resist. I do hope that after accepting them, your choice is respected on NL's end.

I had an idea for the contest, but I can't draw, so I didn't submit. He was called "Ad Man." He was like a giant monitor with arms and legs. His move set involved hypnotizing Mega Man with ads and such, then attacking. The contest required a suction cup mechanic, and although it was a bit of a stretch, one of his hands was also a screen, and that one "sucked" Mega Man in with alluring ads.

@LoroTalby What browser are you using? Zen has a built in tracker blocker and I just opened the site on a private session (meaning no cookie saved, fresh visit), but I wasn't asked anything.

These "contests" always seem a bit off. "Design a -something- for us and we'll use it in our game." You'll get nothing for your efforts other than an icon. While they get the monies. Give me .25 cents per copy sold or something. Better, $500 prize so at least you can pretend you sold it to them.

@VeganH contests like these are usually meant for children. Not everything needs to be a transaction for a child.

@Kilroy Firefox on my phone. Is Zen a good mobile browser?

Zen uses Mozilla framework, so kind of similar to FF. There actually isn't a mobile version right now. But I just tried a fresh visit to NL on FF mobile and was not asked anything, so maybe check your browser settings, something might be off

I entered... the first time I ever hand-drew something in earnest... good luck, Siphon Woman!

I copied their example but put his noodly noodle arm on his left instead of his right. I don’t see how I can lose this.

@LoroTalby your data is harvested and sold every second no matter what you turn on or off. I wouldn’t worry about it. Embrace targeted advertising. It’s usually things that interest you.

Good luck everyone. I'm curious to see what the winning design will be? I saw several fun and creative designs.

@VeganH Wow, talk about a Negative Nancy.

"Capcom thanks people who worked for free"

@Twilite9 Really cool design! 😄 I missed the boat, but I wish everyone the best of luck!

@LoroTalby Use Brave Browser (with the Lion icon), it's the best web browser and it has embedded ad-block etc. Add also if you want plugin "I don't care about cookies" and you are ok! If you want, you can also add "Ghostery" and "Ublock origin". No ads, no cookies. It will load faster the websites and also no more ads in youtube etc. With Ublock origin, you can select also areas that you don't want so see, like for examples banners etc. You can also put custom code even if some websites have anti- ad-blocker messages!! You have the control, not the griddy companies that wants more money as usual..

Looking forward to seeing creative entries in this contest!

@Twilite9 Love it! Hope he will make it in the game! I'll root for you!

@Twilite9 I can only support Retro Man if he taunts Mega Man with the following catchphrase before unleashing his main attack:

That's more than enough waffling, let's dive right into things!
