Another week, another episode of the Bionic Commando podcast!
Keiji Inafune, the creator of Mega Man, Onimusha, Dead Rising and many more, joins us on this special festive podcast to answer listener questions about his work at Capcom, the future of Mega Man, and the best game he’s played this year.
Fun fact: This Podcast was actually recorded on the day of Mega Man 20th anniversary, which makes having Inafune-san, the father of Mega Man, on the Podcast all the more cool!

A one-of-a-kind Mega Man drawing from Keiji Inafune himself? Do want. Although it appears to have been colored in by Ben Judd, read on for how you can get your filthy little paws on the art (check out all the podcasts and submit your questions HERE):
Bionic Commando producer Ben Judd and the crew at Top Secret: The Bionic Commando Podcast have come up with the perfect gift for all Capcom fans – a special guest appearance by Keiji Inafune, the head of R&D at Capcom, and creator of Mega Man, Onimusha, Dead Rising and too many other classic games to count!
Inafune-san will be talking about green-lighting the Bionic Commando project, discussing his own background at Capcom, and responding to listener questions.
And as an extra-special gift, Inafune-san has created this exclusive, hand-drawn, one-of-a-kind piece of festive Mega Man art – and Top Secret are just giving it away! All one lucky listener has to do is ask Inafune-san a question. That’s it! Top Secret will put the questions to him, and Inafune-san will decide who will be decorating their hearth with the Blue Bomber this Christmas.

As hardcore Monster Hunter fans have already noticed, Capcom recently joined a Nintendo press conference in Japan to announce that Monster Hunter 3 will be coming to the Wii. Slashing monsters by slashing at monsters? Sign me up!
IGN has streaming video of the super-short teaser that was shown during the conference, which shows off some of the environments in the game and ends with a message from Capcom’s global head of R&D, creative genius and all-around nice guy, Keiji Inafune.
Inafune addresses the crowd, saying (loosely translated) “I’m Inafune from Capcom. Today we are presenting Monster Hunter 3. This is the formal sequel to Monster Hunter Dos. All of the video you have just seen was rendered through actual Nintendo Wii hardware. The development team is working very hard to make this a great experience on the Wii, so I hope you look forward to using the Wii controller to hunt monsters to your heart’s content. Thank you very much.”

As you probably know by now, this year marks the 20th anniversary of the birth of our beloved Blue Bomber, Mega Man. To celebrate Mega Man’s 20th birthday, Keiji Inafune, the father of Mega Man, will be on-hand for an official autograph session in New York City.
The session will take place on Tuesday, August 7th, 2007, at the GameStop located on Broadway and 33rd in New York City. Keiji Inafune himself will be on-hand from 5pm to 8pm, ready to sign some limited quantity Mega Man retro-themed t-shirts, special posters, your baby’s forehead, or anything else you got.
There’s also a rumor that Mega Man himself will also make an apearance, so you definitely don’t want to miss this opportunity to hang with both Inafune and Mega Man.
