It's hard to believe that Mega Man—or Rockman, if you will—has been around for almost two and a half decades now. Yes, the original Mega Man game came out for the NES back in 1987, introducing the world to some of the worst cover art that's ever been seen. But at the time, the core concept behind the game was so completely groundbreaking that we all rushed out to buy the game anyway, despite the condescending looks we got from store clerks upon seeing the hideous-looking box in our hands.--CheatCC
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...
Capcom failing hard.
RIP Rock Man :(. Seriously Inafune needs to buy the franchise and get it as far away from Capcom as humanly possible.
Seems like Capcom is the place where franchises go to die. Onimusha, Viewtiful Joe, now Mega Man who arguably made Capcom who they are today. They are really epitomizing fail this gen.
I think Inafune and capcom left on bad terms. He even sh*tted on capcom after he left.
I think this is capcoms way of getting him back.
how does Inafune feel about this anyways?
