25 years ago, in December 1987, Capcom released a simple title, Rockman, on the Nintendo Entertainment System. When Rockman made his debut in the United States later that same month, he would be renamed Mega Man for the U.S. audience. One could wonder if Capcom, or creator Keiji Inafune knew at the time that they had created what would be one of the most iconic and well received characters in video game history, being able to rival the likes of Mario, Sonic, and any other who have made an impact on the video game industry. Despite the Mega Man series constantly falling back on the original’s simple formula, the Blue Bomber has managed to make his series one of the most successful, and enjoyable gamers can find.
Capcom says it wants to take 'great care' in new Mega Man games, is not interested in rushing new products out in order to maximize repeated sales.
Good good good. Take your time... But don't wait too long.. lol. Need some Mega Man 202X
5 years was than enough time for a new Mega Man game. The RE franchise had 3 remakes and RE8 in the last five years. Mega Man ain't that deep Capcom. Get it done. 🤣
The first brand spanking new megaman I really want them to make is... actually revive and continue the Legends 3 game. Realistically though, the next would probably be megaman 12, then a new battle network game.
Can we get an X reboot in 2-D with anime cutscenes?
I like Megaman but always thought X was cooler.
Capcom has unveiled and listed new Mega Man merchandise for pre-order to celebrate the multi-faceted franchise's 35th Anniversary...
The Blue Bomber has kept things low-key, but now that Mega Man's 35th anniversary has arrived, a new game should be part of the festivities.
For a while there it looked like Inafune's Mighty No. 9 lit a fire under Capcom's ass and they were forced to announce MM11 in response. When it was revealed that Might No. 9 was a nothing burger and MM11 under performed Capcom quietly shelved MM again outside of the occasional MM collection. At this rate they'll announce a Star Force or Power Fighters collection before MM12 or MMX8.
