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.
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 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.
We're heading on the five year mark since 11. Sounds like it wasn't good enough for a Capcom. Franchise record or not.
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. 🤣
Good Excellent take your time.
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.
