** Creator/KeithSilverstein plays a villain whose second-most common strategy is to convince/force others to work for his cause, and the hero opposing him often has to uncorrupt them? [[WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug Sounds familiar...]]

** Given Creator/TakeshiAono's death in 2012, Dr. Wily is now voiced by Hideyuki Umezu. [[note]]Since ''Mega Man 8'' and ''[[VideoGame/MegaManX4 X4]]'', Aono was the longstanding voice of Wily in all his appearances with voice acting, including having the honor of being the only [=PS1=]-era voice actor to [[RoleReprisal reprise the role]] for ''Powered Up''.[[/note]]

** Despite having voiced Dr. Light in ''VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcomInfinite'', Michael Mislove does not return to the role here. Instead, Doug Stone takes over.

* BTeamSequel: [[ZigZaggingTrope Zig-zagged]]; while development of the game was brought back in-house at Capcom (''[[VideoGame/MegaMan9 9]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/MegaMan10 10]]'' both being developed by Inti Creates), it's the first main entry in the "[[VideoGame/MegaManClassic Classic]]" series made without the involvement of Creator/KeijiInafune, instead being developed largely by veterans of the ''VideoGame/MegaManStarForce'' series.

* NamesTheSame: Some of the Robot Masters' names were used by fan-made characters. Notable examples include Fuse Man from ''VideoGame/MegaManRockForce'' (the original Robot Master, who had more to do with explosions than electricity, was renamed to Boom Man due to this), Blast Man from ''VideoGame/MegaManRevolution'' (though the sixth ''[[VideoGame/MegaManBattleNetwork Battle Network]]'' game had a [=NetNavi=] by the same name before they were included in ''Revolution'') and Acid Man from ''VideoGame/HardHat II''. Torch Man also shares a name with another Robot Master from the DOS ''Mega Man 3'' game, as well as [=FireMan.EXE=]'s {{dub name|Change}} in ''Anime/MegaManNTWarrior''.

** Given Creator/TakeshiAono's death, Dr. Wily is now voiced by Hideyuki Umezu.

** Rather than being voiced by Creator/ShozoIizuka and Issei Futamata respectively, both Dr. Light and Auto are now voiced by Creator/NobuoTobita.

* AscendedMeme: Not in the game proper, but at the UsefulNotes/ElectronicEntertainmentExpo booth showcasing this game, the Capcom employees went ahead and [[https://twitter.com/BenjaminDiskin/status/1006670143525548032 referenced Dr. Light's]] ElmuhFuddSyndwome from ''VideoGame/MegaMan8'', specifically "When we find that meteor, we'll find Dr Wahwee."
* BTeamSequel: Zig-zagged; while development of the game was brought back in-house at Capcom (''9'' and ''10'' both being developed by Inti Creates), it's the first main entry in the "Classic" series made without the involvement of Creator/KeijiInafune, instead being developed largely by veterans of the ''VideoGame/MegaManStarForce'' series.
* CastingGag: Torch Man, a fire-themed Robot Master, is voiced by Creator/KatsuyukiKonishi, which also did [[Anime/MegaManNTWarrior a certain operator which loves fire-themed NetNavis.]]

* IKnewIt: After [[https://scontent-ort2-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/33943116_2078999092128244_9140466476413616128_o.jpg?_nc_cat=0&oh=a2cc09b413f87cccc0554fd5e75dd434&oe=5BBF5AF5 a promotional image]] was released showing the Stage Select screen with the Robot Masters' names blurred out, fans were correctly able to deduce all of the names that hadn't already been revealed at that point[[labelnote:*]]Only Block Man and Fuse Man were known at the time the image came out[[/labelnote]].

* SequelGap: The last major ''Mega Man'' game, ''VideoGame/MegaMan10'', released ''8 years prior'' in 2010. Even counting the fanmade-but-officially-licensed ''VideoGame/StreetFighterXMegaMan'' in 2012, that still leaves six years.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: A female Robot Master was considered for the game, but her weapon didn't line up with the others and she was cut.

* ScheduleSlip: An edition of ''WebVideo/NintendoDirect'' was planned to coincide with the release of a demo for the Nintendo Switch version and the reveal of Bounce Man. However, an earthquake hit Hokkaido on the day the Direct was meant to air, causing the broadcast to be delayed. The demo and Bounce Man reveal were released regardless, and when the Direct did come a week later, most of it was information that seemed redundant by then, with the only real piece of new information being how the Toys/{{amiibo}} functionality, which was exclusive to the Switch version, worked (and even then it was trivial, as it was just the same "get a free common item once a day" gimmick that most games with amiibo compatibility featured).
