Yesterday we took a look at ten of the worst video game covers ever. However, this segment is about identifying forty of them. Yesterday Hamza kicked off our list and today PY picks up where he left off. One interesting thing to me when I reviewed their choices is how many older games populated their lists. Certainly video games, marketing and even artwork associated with these titles has become more sophisticated over the years, but sometimes it felt like the guys drawing the art had no idea what the game itself was about.
For example...
Mega Man
So... wait. What? Why does Mega Man have a gun? And why is he dressed in yellow clothing that fits poorly? What exactly is going on here?
Capcom is planning to develop brand new titles in the Mega Man franchise on an ongoing basis in the future.
Question is always going to be what are you going to do with it? Capcom has burnt mega man fans many a time and trust is low overall so I think a bold new direction may not be the best idea unless it's backed with a sonic mania style project alongside it.
I could see a bold new 3d take on the Willy wars alongside a mania style game being very popular.
Just keep it far away from Live services and loot boxes
Hear me out.
........I think they could pull off a MetroidVania Mega Man.
Even better: make it Megaman X, but in a pre-X7 style.
Or maybe do what Nintendo did with Metroid. Go from a 2D platformer to a 3D game, like Metroid Prime.
Sounds like a plan Capcom. Just don't forget the disc. Also I think alot of the mega man base would love to see a return of the rpg
You know... I realy think a MM game that plays like ratchet and clank can work great! Mega Man can be very light hearted and family friendly, something for everyone If they use a formula similar to Ratchet and Clank, i realy want to see Capcom giving It a try.
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.
Totally agree on X coming back but with an 3d look like Guilty gear Strive or DBZ Fighterz. Cutscenes for those games look like an anime.
Still want it to be a 2D platformer with a more expansive Metroidvania type map.
Capcom has unveiled and listed new Mega Man merchandise for pre-order to celebrate the multi-faceted franchise's 35th Anniversary...
