Notice it?

In every megaman game, megaman has brown eyes in battle, but green everywhere else.... Ever notice that, I don't get it. :/

It's merely because the sprite is too small to show that kind of detail. OMG hard to comprehend~!

The eyes on the sprite aren't supposed to look brown. When playing on a GBA like you're supposed to, you can't even tell the colour of those two pixels. If a green colour was actually used for those pixels there wouldn't be enough contrast and it would look weird. They just used a dark colour so it would look right.

What do you mean?? I play on GBA sp and I can see the eyes clearly. Although they look red to me.

Ummm...playing BN3 now. They look maroon. That means I cannot see whether they are red or brown.

The sprites can only hold so many colors. Having the sprite hold green would mean tossing another color away. I'm sure it was simpler and more effecient to use an existing color. It's not a mistake.

The eye color was probably re-used in another part of the sprite. Most likely in the skin. So unless you want Rockman to have green skin...

What I'd like to know is: has anyone noticed that in BN 1-3 Rock has blue eyes, whereas in 4 and 5 they switched it to green, like in the anime? I know it's true, I'm not crazy. Anyone else notice?

You must mean the mugshots. Yes, they fixed them up. Personally, I think they look much better.

Megaman's eyes are sorta brown/dark red and the skin is peach, so it'll have no affect to the skin if you change the color.

Actually, the colors used in his eyes are from other parts of his body. Replacing them with green would make the sprite look very weird. If you want to test this, do a replace color thingy in Paint, or whatever program you have... I did a minute ago, but it seems to have messed up the file... ah whatever, you can still see the difference.

As for Rockman's eyes being green in games four and on, I think this is because they tried to make it more like the anime. They changed other things too, like AC/DC and stuff so that it seemed more like the anime...

It's not more like the anime, the official colour for Rock's eyes has always been green. Check the official artwork. They only appeared blue in the mugshots because of colour conservation, as mentioned before.

here is a pic

the mugs are green because his eyes are green in the anime but the sprite are brown, i think.

The anime has NOTHING to do with it. There are very few instances where the game is affected by the anime rather than vice versa, and the eyes are not one of those cases.

The only instances I can think of something in the anime preceding something in the games was the Plug-In PET design and the DarkLoids.

I noticed all of that too. I also noticed that Chaud's mugshot in
battle network 1,2,and 3 His eyes are brown. Then in the fourth game His eyes are blue. And Yai's mugshot in the first game,She's missing the pink collar on Her dress. And Maylu's mugshot in the first game, Her hair pin thingy on Her head is yellow instead of pink and yellow. Also in the first game, everyones faces seem to look pale. Laughing
