1) Did Zero really “kill” the [Light] family between the events of the Classic Mega Man and X series?
KI: No, Zero did not kill them. According to the way I created him, Zero is not such a person–it is not in his profile.

Keiji Inafune, Mega Man’s creator (who is as cheek-pinchingly adorable as the little blue Astro Boy offshoot he designed) has a small Mega Man-related interview up at Capcom Unity, Capcom’s fan forums.

Speaking of jealousy, the green-eyed rattler might bite at the hearts of some Playstation 3 owners when they hear that Mega Man 9 will not be seen on their channel. Thus far, the Blue Bomber’s 8-bit adventure will be exclusive to WiiWare.
Are you a bad enough dude to change the future?
