Mega Man was originally planned for another platform

Today we have learned some notable news from this beloved franchise, Mega Man. You already know that the original Mega Man game was released for NES in 1987, but now we have news.

It seems that, initially, Mega Man was planned para Famicom Disk System

. Remember that this was a complement to the Famicom, exclusive to Japan, which used floppy disks and offered cheaper games with better sound. We have also learned the following:

Akira Kitamuradirector/planner of the first game in the franchise, revealed this information while answering questions from fans on Twitter.
Mega Man was switched to a traditional Famicom/NES version because its production was going well and the developers wanted to take advantage of year-end sales.
This change had no impact on the development or final result of the game.
If the title had been released as planned on the Famicom Disk System, it might not have been as successful and perhaps would not have reached USA

as soon.

Fortunately, the release on NES was successful and the legacy of the series remains intact. What do you think about it? Finally, you can review all the Mega Man games available on Nintendo Switch.
