I like the Tribute series from Udon. This one's as good as Street Fighter Tribute and Darkstalkers Tribute.

The book is 304 pages thick. No dust jacket. The paper is thick low gloss type, thicker than Darkstalkers Tribute. Binding is good (thankfully).

Due to the success of earlier Tribute series, there are over 2500 entries submitted for this book but only close to 300 are selected.

The variety is incredible, from vector to manga, to 3D model to actual handmade dolls and paper toys. I like the Tribute series because I enjoy looking at the different interpretation by different artist. In a fan art book like this, there are lots of pleasant surprises, artistic style that are wildly different from official game art.

The quality of art is also very high. All the artists and their website are just below their illustrations which is really convenient if you want to learn more about the artist.

I used to play the game, the earlier series, so this book sure brings back some memories. It features art mainly from the original series, but there are also some art for Mega Man X, Zero, ZX and Legends. The other series probably can have a tribute book on their own.

This is a fantastic art book for fans and art lovers.

This book far exceeded my expectations. Mega Man Tribue features a LOT of great artists, a huge variety of styles and many masterful pieces. It's great to see how the artists reinterpreted the theme is so many creative ways- pixel art, plush figures, woodcuts, posters, vector art and many cool digital paintings styles. There's so much eye candy in this book I find myself keep coming back to it for inspiration. The paper is nice and thick and the printing looks great. There is typically 1 image per page, large enough to appreciate the details in each piece. It's not just for fans of Megaman, but for anyone who enjoys great concept art and illustration. I have a large collection of art and design books, this one is one of my all-time favorites.

This is one of the best art books I've seen for a game title! You can feel the hard work and dedication that fans have for the Blue guy in here. I especially like the Legends series art in here, this this might be the last look we will ever see of Legends (since Capcom decided to kill my favorite Megaman series). All the main characters you'd expect to see are here, even Aero (the new chick that never got to appear in a game cuz Capcom killed its production before release).All in all I give the art book 5 stars and Capcom 0. Buy this book!

I purchased Mega Man Tribute for one of my sons Christmas gifts. He likes it better than the video games I purchased.

Just like the author writes in the introduction, this book is full of diferent artists showing how they imagine the 8/16/32 bits blue bomber. You'll find some of them to be cartoonish, while other realistic. Some of will look cute, but then again, others will look awesome. You'll see some preety literal or true to the original material, but then you see something completely abstract or bizarre.
The mash of completely different interpretations is obviously the main focus here, and it accomplishes amazingly. You'll most likely find something that fits your own personal visions.
It gets even better when you take in consideration all this art comes from the same original source, which is only posible thanks to the powerful iconic image of Rockman and his entire universe.
Just like other Udon's books, the quality here is top notch (See Okami and Art of Udon series).

A must have tribute from Megaman fans for Megaman fans.

Para os fãs de Mega Man, este é um ótimo presente! Belíssimas ilustrações de vários artistas de todas as partes do mundo. Recomendo a todos a compra deste belo livro!

The collection of fan pieces is staggering. Really a great coffee table tome! I wish more compilations like this came out for other series.

One of the best art books I have ever seen. At least when it comes to video game art. Amazing artists from all over the world are collected here.
