Seems Street Fighter isn’t the only Capcom IP to celebrate its 25th anniversary. Universal Gamer (via Joystiq) has spotted what appears to be a 25th anniversary logo for Mega Man in the iOS version of Mega Man 10. Not much else is known other than the logo, but it can’t be as worse as it was last year when Capcom cancelled spin-offs Universe and Legends. Despite the cannings, the publisher’s already said the IP still remains “key” to the company.

Capcom US VP Christian Svensson has reiterated that Mega Man is still an important franchise for the publisher, teasing announcements for the series “in due course.”

Gaming comic and art book publisher Udon has announced two new coffee table titles for Persona 3 and Persona 4, both available for pre-order through the links, and expected sometime after the holidays. Siliconera reports the books feature character designs, rough sketches, backgrounds and interviews with Atlus staff.

Meanwhile, Udon is throwing a sale, offering $40 off both Mega Man Tribute and Street Fighter II Ultimate Edition hardcovers for a limited time only, along with loads more Cyber Monday sales.

The Internet got very excited about an image from the official Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3 guide which seemed to show Mega Man X would be coming to the game as DLC, but Joystiq has word it’s just a skin for the existing Mega Man character. Aww.

The updated fighter arrives this week on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, with a Vita version to follow. See the latest trailer here.

Thanks, GameInformer.

Capcom US VP Christian Svensson has said that the cancelation of Mega Man Legends 3 was a decision that needed to be made, but insisted that the IP is still “super, super important” to the publisher.

If you hadn’t already worked yourself into a nerdy fervor over this week’s San Diego Comic-Con, here’s a nice little incentive. GoNintendo got its Gameboy-stained claws on Capcom’s Comic-Con schedule, and it’s a doozy.

Actually, it’s pretty commonplace, but apparently you’ll be able to “Meet the Bionic Commando & Mega Man!” Cool. Additionally, the Capcom booth will be hosting a Street Fighter IV tournament, as well as celebrity signings with the stars of Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.

However, we can’t help but wonder whether or not Mega Man and the Bionic Commando will be entering the cosplay contest. Isn’t that a tad unfair?

Yeah, anyway. Hit the link for the full schedule.
