A fan-made ''VideoGame/MegaMan'' game similar to ''VideoGame/MegaManRocks'', only built by a team put together by Philippe Poulin (aka MegaPhilX). Currently it has gotten more then 97% (as of December 2011) of it is coding complete. It's being programmed inside the Mega Man Engine which was designed around Multimedia Fusion 2. The project started out as a simple Flash project, it eventually became a real game, which is being created with a C++ programmed gameplay engine. As with ''Mega Man 10'', it, too, uses an [[{{Retraux}} 8-bit art style that's meant to imitate the style of the NES / Famicom games]]. Unlike ''Mega Man 10'', however, only Mega Man is playable, and he can use the slide and charge shot abilities (the latter of which is an unlockable ability).


[[http://megaphilx.com/?page_id=26 Here is a link]] to the news and update site. There is also a [[http://www.facebook.com/pages/MegaMan-Unlimited/114325318655039 facebook account]], where all the latest updates are being posted.

The current plot is as follows: In the year 20XX, the world comes under attack by Dr. Wily's latest Robot Masters, but he claims that they [[NotMeThisTime went out of his control]]. Upon hearing his plight, Dr. Light accepts his assistance. Both scientists discover that an unknown force is controlling them. However, Mega Man suddenly gets attacked by a mysterious robot, which kidnaps Dr. Wily afterwards. As such, Mega Man sets out to stop the Robot Masters' rampage, [[SaveTheVillain rescue Dr. Wily]] and take on the enigmatic robot responsible for these misdeeds.

-----
!!Examples:

* ActionGirl: Comet Woman
* AuthorExistenceFailure: Subverted, in regards to Yoku Man's inclusion. When the designer Starsimsuniverse unexpectedly and [[LegallyDead completely vanished from the Internet]], MegaPhilX wasn't sure whether to keep his Robot Master in the game's roster or not, but decided to do so after all. Then, Starsimsuniverse eventually came back.
* BarrierWarrior: Nail Man's weapon is a shield, after all.
* BonusBoss: Yoku Man, technically speaking.
* DeflectorShields: Nail Shield seems to do this.
* [[EverythingsBetterWithRainbows Everything's Better With Rainbows]]: Rainbow Man's Rainbow Beam and shiny color-trippy level.
* {{Expy}}:
** Trinitro Man was intended to be this for all bomb-thrower Robot Masters, like Bomb Man, Crash Man, Grenade Man, etc.
** In light of that, most of the Robot Masters in this story are Expies of others, like Yo-Yo Man is to Top Man ''(gimmicky weapon and stage)'', Tank Man is to Napalm Man ''(weapon factory & artillery)'', Jet Man is to Dive Man ''(deadly level & homing missiles)'' and Rainbow Man is to Cloud Man ''(cloud vanish trick and weather themed)''.
** The entire roster (sans Yoku Man) ended up being inverted ones for the Robot Masters in ''10'' (which came out during ''Unlimited'''s development), [[HilarityEnsued amusingly enough]].
* EverybodyKnewAlready: Played straight and averted. While no attempts are made whatsoever to hide Yoku Man's status as a secret character, all the important plot details have been kept confidential (well, except one, if anyone relies on TrailersAlwaysSpoil below).
* FollowTheLeader: The staff member Starsimsuniverse hoped that the game would inspire other fans, to start their own 8-bit style Mega Man fan games. It did.
* FragileSpeedster: Subverted with Comet Woman, but Jet Man apparently runs into things often.
* GaidenGame: [[WordOfGod According to MegaPhilX]], the game takes place any time after the events of ''7''. It was originally going to occur after ''9'', [[ScheduleSlip then]] the real ''10'', but the possibility of Capcom making more sequels [[FlipFlopOfGod forced Phil to adapt]].
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Yoku Man.
* GravityScrew: One of the Wily stages will seem to have gravity-switching as a gimmick, much like Gravity Man's stage in ''Mega Man 5''. Also, see the SpaceLevel example below, for a different type.
* HartmanHips: Comet Woman (natch). [[DownplayedTrope They're subtle, but still noticeable enough to count]].
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Yo-yo Man's razor tipped yo-yos.
* MasterOfIllusion: Yoku Man and all the Yoku Blocks of doom.
* NamesTheSame / OneSteveLimit: Trinitro Man used to be called Nitro Man, until a Robot Master sharing his name appeared in ''10''. This resulted in a lot of discussion on what he should be called, leading to his current placeholder name. Yet, the fans and the creators ''still'' couldn't decide on his official name, eventually prompting MegaPhilX [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncNE7542MD4 to post a video poll]].
** The fan-made game RokkoChan also has a Jet Man that flies around and fires missiles.
* NostalgiaLevel: Averted since the first beta screenshots came out but an earlier design of a mocked up level for Jet Man looked remarkably similar to Guts Man's level waaaaay back in the very first VideoGame/MegaMan game.
* NoOSHACompliance: Nail Man's level fits this trope so well, being a half-finished sky-scraper and all.
* OffModel: While the project's official artwork is otherwise fine, the way that the characters' fingers are drawn looks a bit...odd.
* OneOfTheBoys: Comet Woman.
* RealTimeWeaponChange: By using some controller commands, according to the forum, you can switch weapons on the fly.
* SceneryPorn: While much of the stages are still under construction, it can't be denied that Jet Man and Comet Woman's stages are definitely this. Then, there's the [[http://megaphilx.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2rz4wd city shown]] in the revamped intro sequence...
* ScheduleSlip: The game was nearly set to be released on March 2009, but that didn't happen when real-life preoccupations occured for its staff members. Even after some engine changes, the development cycle still continues (although it might end soon, according to the Facebook updates). To put it in perspective, the project started back in '''2008'''.
* ShoutOut: Most of the game, but a few more specific ones include Yoku Man's dislike of Rush (most gamers would use Rush or Jet 2 to get past yoku-blocks) and a weird reversed one was Capcom USA [[FeeFiFauxPas using Comet Woman's background on the official ''Mega Man 10'' website]].
* SmurfettePrinciple: Played straight with Comet Woman.
* SpaceLevel: Comet Woman's level, which is set on a space station with little to [[GimmickLevel no gravity]].
* SpiritualSuccessor: The game is intended to be one for ''Mega Man 3'' (much like ''9'' was one for ''2''). Similarities include the general lack of Robot Masters with [[ElementalPowers elemental powers]], the introduction of the slide maneuver, a plot involving Drs. Light & Wily [[EnemyMine working together]], a mysterious 9th Robot Master fought before going to Wily's castle, and one of the Robot Masters [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking having a ridiculous toy-based gimmick]].
* StickySituation: Glue Man's Glue Shot and the level with sticky floors you get stuck on.
* StealthPun: According to the character info, Nail Man was promoted over his rival Hammer Man because he was the more intelligent of the two. That's right... [[spoiler:he's sharper]].
* StormingTheCastle: Once all the Robot Masters are defeated, Mega Man does this to Wily's castle (which ''already'' came under attack in this case, ironically enough).
* SuperSpeed: Comet Woman & Jet Man both have this ability.
* TheBrute: Tank Man, hands down.
* TheCameo: Hammer Man's use as a miniboss in the latest works, [[WhatCouldHaveBeen originally intended to be an actual Robot Master]] but was reworked into a MiniBoss.
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: Possibly the case, as two versions of the official cover art strongly imply that [[spoiler:[[TheRival Bass]]]] is behind the hijacking of Dr. Wily, [[AllYourBaseAreBelongToUs his castle]] and his robots.
* {{Wackyland}}: Yoku Man's level with the Yoku Blocks and Spikes of Doom could count, but so does Yo-Yo Man's level proposal.
* [[WeatherControlMachine Weather Manipulator]]: Rainbow Man works in a weather control station, crates rain clouds with thunder bolts, and can vanish into fog.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Yoku Man and Hammer Man were originally going to be part of the main Robot Master line-up, until Comet Woman's introduction.
** The game [[ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime was going to be known as]] ''Mega Man 10'', until the official one came out. As a result, the staff hastily tried to come up with a different title to prevent confusion and legality issues.
