Megaman already had a ton of games
DMCV finished the story

Remember dragons dogma 2? LLLMMMMAAAOOOOOOOOO

>>713420470
Qliphoth setting meant that the environments were all incredibly same-y.

If they're going to do multiple character campaigns going forwards they should all have their own complete interlocking stories, not waiting until halfway through to start playing Dante, which was the mistake 4 had. A Sonic Adventure-esque approach with a "final story" would work best here. Dante's story ends with his Vergil fight, V with his nightmare gauntlet, etc. then the "final" story is basically just the Nero climax.

It amazes me that Megaman went from yearly release slop to a dead franchise.

>>713420645
It's so fucking bizzare how that game was quickly forgotten when it's been demanded for years.

I just hope RE9 is spooky. I can't believe japs complained that RE7 was too scary, I thought they loved scary shit.

But at the same time after looking at SF6 I don't think capcom has it in them to make a proper anime fighter with distinct and unique characters so maybe it is for the best

its almost as if both the original and the remake/2nd game are fucking garbage and were rightfully forgotten by the overwhelming majority both times and the only people that still care about those games are an extremely vocal minority

DMC5 came out six years ago

>>713424862
Yeah but DMCucks think going 6 years without another sandbag juggler is even comparable to Dino Crisis, Viewtiful Joe, Onimusha or other Capcom IP that have gone way longer without even a rerelease.

>>713420389

Depressing.

Literally got a game announcement a week ago

Kill yourself retard

>>713425821
Meanwhile Crapcom effectively soft-kills other franchises like Darkstalkers through sheer incompetence. RE is their identity at this point

>>713420917
>I thought they loved scary shit.
You need to remember, as suvival horror goes Resident evil has always been more action horror then phycological. Now Re7 is action horror, no doubt but you have to get somewhat into the game to experience it.

>>713426053
>Kamiya and Mikami don't work at Capcom anymore
Yeah cause that obviously stopped Resident Evil.
>Literally got a game announcement a week ago
Before that was announced, you never heard Onimusha fans seething over RE like DMCucks do, despite their last game being in the PS2 era.

>>713426425
How do you even expect anyone to have a discussion with you? You type like a child

>>713426425
>Yeah cause that obviously stopped Resident Evil.
More Resident Evil games have been directed without Mikami than with him at this point and it's an IP that prints money unlike Dino Crisis and Viewtiful Joe.
>Before that was announced, you never heard Onimusha fans seething over RE like DMCucks do
Yeah because there's all of 3 of them

>>713425981
this morrigan in particular is the sexiest i've ever seen her and it's hard for me to place exactly why

The answer is megaman fans. I’m not going to look up actual numbers but it’s something like
>11 megaman games
>9 megaman X games
>4 Zero games
>6 battlenetwork games
>2 legends games
and they STILL play the victim like “ughhh Capcom were starving!!” Megaman fans, you’ve had enough

Megeman fans have the biggest victim complex easily
Niggas act like theirs not enough games, as if theirs not actually near 50 of them.

>>713427278
Explain to me why the you think a bunch of games from 30+ years ago, in an age when reusing assets to release a new title every 9 months was commonplace, somehow have any bearing on not getting a new title in a decade?

>>713420331 (OP)
Morrigan's looking like her sister in this pic

>>713427515

Mega Man 11 is still years away from being a decade old. You don't even know what you're complaining about.

never got this

>>713427675
if you never want to replay the older games then they were never good to begin with and i have no idea why you would want more.
Whats funny is the capcom games i replay the most probably is resident evil 1-4+7 so yeah it probably deserves the attention

>there's a dozen games already! (that you played 25 years ago)
>>713427675
Well when something is a mainline title that made your company big there should be some loyalty to that IP.
Darkstalkers is a fighting game thus could use regular updates to keep a playerbase (or just a title that has online play built in) and megaman is a short, purely singleplayer game with low replayability that requires new releases to have any new content. DMC has story people want to see progressed and there's only so much you can replay the bloody palace or style on bosses in one game.

>>713427515
On what planet are any of the zero games or battlenetwork games 30+ years ago? Retard

>>713427515
Explain to me why you think megaman even deserves a new title despite being nothing but asset reuse slop for 30+ years?
>umm AKSHUALLY megamanX4 is better than megaman2 AND megaman Zero3 because you get to fight turboman AND ice cooler man instead of drillman and steering wheel man!
it’s the same fucking game 20 times

>bro mega man 342 is about to go crazy
Genuinely what can they do thats new or interesting lol. Like if you just want the same game with new levels i can assure you theirs rom hacks or whatever and i doubt you remember every single level in the series that you can’t replay at least a few.
>it built the company
Megaman is not that relevant, it sold well for a little bit of period, was never topping charts but did fine before becoming irrelevant.
Street fighter, and Resident evil is what catapult capcom to starlight

darkstalker has like ten games

Sonic outsells persona and still gets tons of support
Also yakuza probably gets more content at this point over persona

>>713428916
I hate to defend any faggy fanbase but DMC only has 5 games and the one spinoff. So 6 games in like, 24 years?

>>713426224
Darkstalkers "fans" won't buy the fucking games.

>>713428823
>persona
you mean yakuza

>>713428952
6 games is more than respectable, a lot of good franchise die out on the 2nd.
But least dmc has a story and room to expand and grow. I just don’t see why anyone gives a fuck about megaman and dark stalkers.
Like least fill dark stalker lobbies up on the rereleases before crying about not getting more.

>>713428039
>Was it actually good
Yeah
>there's a dozen games already (that you play 25 years ag)
Like, half the Mega Man X games, all the Zero and ZX games, all of Battle Network, all of Star Force, and 3 of the mainline are younger than that.

Sonicfags

There is basically no point in making a new Darkstalkers game. What was good about it mechanically was rolled into other Capcom fighters at the time, like Cyberbots and Marvel.

>>713428953
There is a massive fighting game saturation compared to actual fighting game player counts. It was only like 2 years ago sf6, tekken8, and mk1 all came out within 4 months of each other with dozens of other smaller titles.
It would be retarded to release yet another one by a company that just released sf6.
And if capcom has to choose which series to focus on, no shit their choosing street fighter over darkstalkers lol

>>713428823
>w-wat ? Sonic does not getting y-yearly released???
>WE ARE OPPREEEEEEEEEEESSED!!!!!!

>>713429406
Hell, Capcom basically said as much after they realized that MvC3, SF4, and SFxTK were all massively cannibalizing each other. In an environment where people are paying $60 to play instead of $0.25, they're not gonna diversify what they spend their time on nearly as much.

DMCfags are some of the most annoying people in all of vidya
>I'm such a hardcore gamer, I just juggled this sandbag!

At what point is a game series actually allowed to be put to rest. Why is it that a franchise can have like, 30 games across multiple genres and it's apparently still not enough. Why does it matter so much that a new release has to come from an IP holder, rather than a romhack, when neither are the original devteam anymore anyways.

It's maddening (aeiou)

As of 2025, maybe if Megaman wasn’t strongly affiliated with Keiji Inafune we’d see more

>>713429714
No idea. I don’t even think its fans, i think its annoying people that just like the idea of classic videogame franchises sticking around but won’t actually play them. Megaman was a b tier mascot during his heyday but niggas act like he was as big as mario or sonic lol.

>>713427278

>>713420645
First game wasn’t good, people just liked it because it was more niche than dark souls. My interest died when i saw how the maps were made, it was like tiny zones with 300 loading screens instead of a proper world. Story is also schzio and not in a good way, more in it just poorly told so confusing at parts like it just jumps 300 steps from
Fighting gobbos to a literal teleported into town sudden hydra attack
??????

A new dead rising thats more in the style of strict time management and less combo weapon focus/no combos of dr1 and 2 would be peak. Doesn’t need to be connected to those games in characters or anything like that either but instead i have to hear about fucking megaman

>>713428717

fuck play a rom hack or a randomizer or something. There are so many more IPs deserving of new games than megaman. I normally wouldn’t give a shit but it is so annoying how megaman fans act like they’re starving for content because it’s been “10-20 years” since a new game ignoring the fact that they have like 40 games, 30 years worth of games to play

>>713428823
>>713429267
That's based on how much they made not what's put out for them.

There's a bunch of Yakuza shit even though they sold worse than everything else.

Actual starving Sega IPs would be jet set radio and skies of Arcadia

>>713432363
Not counting spin offs there’s only 9 mainline resident evil games which is fair for a 30 year old franchise

>>713432457
2 had really nothing to do with 1 outside of easter eggs and that was fine before they made a cringe rerelease that just patches frank in which i know this is an unpopular opinion, but Frank is not some great character that needs to be in everything dead rising, he's alright but the saturation and desperate pleads to make him more is how you get the faggot worship of the guy in dead rising 4.
Imagine if every resident evil game had leon as the protagonist or something and proceeds to jerk him off as the greatest being in the universe. Not as good

That's a nintendo ip but it's understandable

>>713420664
4 is the worst for the first playthrough but the best for replaying

Having your series have a spin off being more popular than the original thing will do that to you, ii guess. I've yet to see one complaining about no new games, however.

>>713431636
>Sonic still gets games
Mega Man has 11 mainline game, 8 X games, 4 Zero games, 2 ZX games, 6 Battle Network games, and 3 Star Force games, coming to 34 games.

Sonic barely reaches that number if you start including things like Shadow Generations as its own game instead of an expac, forgotten shovelware like the Sonic Boom DS game, and the Master System/Game Gear games, which still feels shaky because it's not like Mega Man didn't also have stuff like 5 adapted Game Boy games, or rereleases that offered things like new character expansions or updated level layouts.

All while being a much bigger game series. It's ridiculous to complain when he's effectively just doing catchup.

Their are literally thousands of rom hacks for megaman, a lot of them higher quality than official games which got shit out for quick bucks. Thats why their was so many megaman games btw, because they are incredibly basic and was easy for capcom to copy paste them. Especially the 2d sprite ones

>>713432534
>jet set radio
There's been a new Jet Set Radio announced for a few years, and Beat gets crossed over into plenty of Sega games.

>>713425821
The difference is that those games all sold only decently to poorly and it is justifiable that Capcom isn't interested in reviving them.
DMC on the other hand makes them money, but still sits in the cuck chair because it isn't viewed as a prestige title.

>>713432845
The platformers are one thing but if you count Battle Network and Starforce as just "Megaman", you basically gotta count every Sonic spinoff under the sun, and that would definitely even the odds. No one counts Onimusha Tactics as a mainline Onimusha release, Dark Brotherhood as a mainline Sonic, or Paper Mario as a mainline Mario... and all of those have way more in common with their parent series than Battle Network, which is a completely detached universe from Classic MM, timeline faggotry aside.

>>713431412
Love me some Megaman but most of these series ended fairly conclusively, bombed, or are designed to literally go on forever and have already been worn out pretty thoroughly.
Do you seriously NEED Megaman 12? You already have 11 games of this blue shitter walking through hallways jumping and shooting, and that's not even including romhacks and fan games which are built with Sonic-tier autism and practically on par with the official games quality-wise, and that's still not counting lookalike indie games that are ALSO built with Sonic-tier autism.
X got run into the ground.
BN finished.
SF got a full trilogy, undeservedly so too I'd argue because 1 is too basic and 2 very poor all-around.
People only ever cared for Legends for the aesthetic and that would certainly be lost if Capcom were to make Legends 3 today. Crying over it is pointless.
ZX is the only one you could feasibly argue deserved a final game but Inti just made their own Megaman where they can farm coomer bucks in peace so I doubt they give a shit at this point.

Only things I'd really want out of Megaman at this point is essentially an official Mega Man Maker for the classic series (and maybe a BN battle simulator, but realistically BN6 Tango is already better than anything Capcom would realistically put out). OG Megaman was pretty much always fan engagement driven, with most of the old games even using fan-made robot master designs from contests, so letting people make their own levels at this point just makes sense.

>>713429372
People just want to goon to the girls again, I guess.
As a fighter it'd sell like 5000 copies and wouldn't make its money back.

>>713434272
>but if you count Battle Network and Star Force
There are already examples, in this very thread, of Mega Man fans whining about them to the exact same degree and treating them on the same level as significance as mainline titles, and that number for Sonic already includes some pretty far deviations from its standard formula, so you can just wind that back in mister if you thought you actually had a point to make.
>that would definitely even the odds
Funnily enough, it doesn't actually help that much. Sonic doesn't actually have that many random spin-offs. It's mostly just the racing games that are padding the numbers for Sonic, and opening those gates also floods in a new bunch of Mega Man games as well.

>>713434924
>muh Legends 3
Nobody would have a negative thing to say about Mega Man fags if you guys only stuck to "god I wish there was Legends 3"

>>713434924
I don't get it either, it's not even like they're vocal about their neglect other than the occasional self decrepitating humor. I assume it's just typical /v/ contrarianism because of the previous Capcom survey. Lately they've started attacking X1 and calling it a bad game for whatever reason.

I don't get what you're saying in your first point, but I will say reiterate: Battle Network is a deck building ARPG and not a platformer so I'd treat it as a wildly different thing to the mainline Megaman fanboys are "starved" of, and if you're gonna count it as something "Megaman fans" will bitch about, you should also count every Sonic racing game because:

>Sonic doesn't actually have that many random spin-offs
Baloney. Count all the crappy Sonic spinoff games that released on old Sega handhelds when the rat was at the zenit of its popularity, which, if you follow your criteria. There's more Sonic Boom games than Megaman Legends games for one. Tails has like, three videogames to himself (and one of them is actually good). You're really underestimating how many Sonic games are there, and why shouldn't you count handheld-only series like Zero and the Sonic Dimps games? I think they're comparable in effort, and some of the best in their respective series. Megaman might still come out on top, but it can't be by that much. There's a metric crapton of Sonicses.

They could’ve just given us Megaman 12 and ended the series there having it lead into the X series so fans don’t always ask for me, it’s what they did with Zero 4 when they killed Zero at the end, kill off Megaman with a prototype Zero or something lol

>>713434924
I’m sure fans of other series would never let Capcom live it down or get off Scott free with that BS if the Legends 3 situation happened to their favorite series

>>713420331 (OP)
>favorite two Capcom franchises Breath of Fire and Dino Crisis
>so unimportant and forgotten even the other forgotten franchises at Capcom forgot about them
Hurts bros

>>713436009
They will never lead into X and end the Classic series but it was never meant to do that. Classic is designed to continue on and on because it's a what if, a what if where the X series never happened. Same thing applies to the X series. X6 is the closest you will ever get to the X series leading into the Zero series potentially. It's designed to go on and on with X7 onward, Command Mission happens in the same era as MMZ1. The Zero series was and will always be an outlier for the rest of the franchise.

If you like any Capcom game made before Street Fighter 4 and want them to ever make something that feels like it, give up. They don't make games for Japan anymore. The Capcom you miss is dead. Sorry.

>>713436203
Dino Crises will have it's moment, I'd bet on it. The much better BoF though, sadly I think that's all she wrote.

>>713434924
>>713435413
The total lack of self awareness. They’ll post in threads about dead and forgotten IPs and while this is technically correct, it’s hard to take them seriously when the megaman franchise has like 40 games total. It’s not so much dead and forgotten than it is just fucking over. It was like 30 years and 6 different spin offs, it’s over. And that’s fine

>>713436121
Consider the MML3 fiasco. Now replace it with DMC5, and Inafune being fired and exposed as a hack with Itsuno. Imagine the meltdown.

>>713436479

Morrigan should be a fucking skeleton by now.

>>713436479
I don't follow that kind of thread, I will never, ever beg modern Capcom for shit, and I don't take responsibility for every Megaman fan. I haven't played MM11 and I don't think I ever will. The MML3 thing still felt like shit and I'll throw tomatoes at Capcom and Jewnafune every chance I get. Simple as.

>>713435874
Anyone that played fighting games knew of her. I don't even play them and knew her as immediately recognizable. She was one of the biggest video game babes in the 2000s, you just weren't paying attention.

>>713435676
NTA But Mobile Sonic games like Runners, Jump, Forces Speed Battle, etc should be counted as well

>>713436539
>and Inafune being fired and exposed as a hack with Itsuno
So DD2.

>>713435676
Also Battle Network and Star Force were shamelessly copying the multiple versions thing like Pokémon which does make the series feel somewhat inflated

>>713436892
She was fairly obscure anon. Darkstalkers feels like something big if you were into 2d Capcom game but to most RE-loving normies, you'd be lucky if they even ever remember her from the one time they played Marvel 2 in a pirated DC. t. Vampire Savior is my fav FG, I was 17 years when Tatsunoko released and had a melty when a game reviewer said Morrigan was from "Darksiders"

>>713437138
I get it, but you still got DD2 out of that whole shebang. Now imagine, instead of having gotten an actual mediocre game, DMC5 had been announced, then killed. Forever. When the sting from Ninja Theory's DmC was still fresh in your skin. Picture the meltdown anon.

>>713435874
So hilarious how a lot of normies in this thread don’t know of the famous world renowned Succubus Morrigan but I don’t blame you guys, maybe if they put her in Street Fighter 6??

>>713436203
The fans remember them though. Breath of Fire was in the top 3 of that recent capcom poll that was held, both worldwide and in japan.

>>713427278
those are all ages old. It's more like 5 games with standalone DLC (two of which are spinoff titles).
We never even got a classic MegaMan game in 3D. I think it could work very well with a level design in the vein of a Crash Bandicoot or even Sonic. Mix some 3rd person and side scroller levels

>>713427613
11 has the content and effort equivalent of a 2 people indie game (except maybe the music).

You basically disregarded everything I said. How are you supposedly to take somebody seriously asking for “more” when they have 30+ years of backlogged games
>The Mega Man franchise includes over 130 titles, encompassing the main series and various spin-offs. These spin-offs include the Mega Man X, Mega Man Legends, Mega Man Zero, Mega Man ZX, Mega Man Battle Network, and Mega Man Star Force series.
An actual AI response. So it’s not even 40 it’s one hundred and fucking thirty and you fags still whine
>Here's a breakdown:
Main Series: Eleven numbered games, plus Mega Man & Bass, Mega Man: Powered Up, and Mega Man: The Wily Wars.
Mega Man X Series: Eight main games, plus Mega Man Xtreme and Mega Man Xtreme 2.
Mega Man Legends Series: Three main games, plus The Misadventures of Tron Bonne.
Mega Man Zero Series: Four main games.
Mega Man ZX Series: Two main games.
Mega Man Battle Network Series: Six main games, plus Mega Man Network Transmission and others.
Mega Man Star Force Series: Three main games.
Other Spin-offs: Includes games like Mega Man Soccer, Mega Man Battle & Chase, and Street Fighter X Mega Man.
Various Collections: Several collections compiling multiple games, like the Mega Man Legacy Collections and the Mega Man X Legacy Collections.

Mega Man crybabies never stick to just whining about the Mainline Games. It's always the whole magilla of all significant series like >>713431412 Take it up with your own filthy kind that they won't stop whining about a completely fleshed out franchise.
>Count all the crappy Sonic spinoff games that released on old Sega handhelds
Not as much of a bump as you'd think..Ones like Tails Adventure and Sky Patrol aren't actually super numerous, and ones like Drift get folded into the aforementioned statement about racing games. It's really the platformers that help paint the image of a greater Game Gear library, and they've already been counter + would get stuffed in the numbers advantage by doing stuff like tossing in the GBC Mega Man games.
>There's more Sonic Boom games than Legends for one
Already was counting the three Boom games, and if we're opening the door to spin-offs, then no, Tron Bonne kinda evens things out there.
>Sonic Dimps games
Sonic Advance 1-3, Rush, Rush Adventure, and Sonic 4 were already counted. Mostly would just have the 3 handheld ports and last-gen Unleashed to add


And this is all, again, with the fact that Sonic is an immensely larger and more successful franchise. You would entirely expect it to have spin-offs and slop in spades. Meanwhile, Mega Man has such a large number of fucking everything that you'd have to get out the brass tacks and try to count the smallest of releases just to have a chance to challenge it (on significant releases alone; this isn't with properly tallying the small spin-offs and such), all while it's a much smaller franchise. There is absolutely no fair room to complain that it hasn't gotten more, or to try to use other franchises trying to reach/pass its entry count to say that the blue bomber hasn't gotten a chance to extensively stretch his legs in multiple genres.

>>713437735
we are in Capcoms second shit phase except this time they are financial stable so Capcom has no reason to change strategy.
Just shit out the same three IPs, some remasters, the occasional reboot and chasing trends.

>>713433134
This is literally true though. The X series ended on a cliffhanger showing Axl getting corrupted by Lumine after two (and a half, if you care about Command Mission) games foreshadowing that there's something seriously wrong with where Axl came from. The ZX series ended on a cliffhanger about how the world is going to be reset and the third game was already in development before Capcom had its megamelty and canned everything. The Legends series ends on a cliffhanger now that Trigger destroyed the entire leadership structure of the Master System, paving the way for the reactivation of the ancient Elder System, plus he's still stuck on Elysium.

Of the main timeline games, only the Zero series actually ended. Classic is kind of a gimme because it's intended to be a monster-of-the-week forever series, but all the rest are awaiting plot resolutions.

>>713438939
Cope seethe mald, etc. Megaman actually has a massively fleshed out world with tons of characters that people are interested in seeing what happens to. The number of existing games is actually irrelevant.

Looked it up, Megaman's 130 releases, Sonic is 110, my whole takeaway from this is, I was right on the mark, Sonic whored itself to a pretty similar degree except with much worse games. Cheers.

You people are absolutely nuts

>>713440189
It's not about the number of games, it's about the lack of resolution. Nobody's asking for Zero 5 because Zero ended on an incredibly satisfying and conclusive note. The main MM timeline has sprouted so many hanging threads that it begs for expansion at nearly every juncture. The people saying "just go play a romhack or fangame" are completely missing the point; I 100%'d 20XX and 30XX, gave One Step From Eden a shot, beat Shanghai.EXE, and am as ever keeping my ear out for news on Corrupted. Hell, I played MegaMari back when 'fangame' usually mean in-browser Flash. But none of them are Megaman; they can't do anything that offers any kind of real resolution or expansion to the story because they are not the same story, even if the gameplay is identical.

>>713440548
I'm not the one frothing at the mouth like a Charles Dickens villain over my white knighting of a videogame franchise lmao I'm far from the biggest nut on this thread. Good day to you.

>>713440554
to be fair if a dev can’t tell a conclusive story over 4 or 5 games they were either milking it or had no clear vision from the start because that’s just bad. If Zero ended on a bad note that’s entirely up to the devs because they had 4 games to tell their story

>>713440554
>it's about the lack of resolution
You GOT the resolution:
Dr. Wily's gonna keep making Robot Masters n' shit until he dies
Then right before that happens, he's gonna put Zero into the cum jar to ferment and cause the Maverick Virus
Then the Maverick Virus causes Sigma to happen, who's just gonna keep coming back and doing his bullshit
Then Zero's gonna eventually get bored and get back into the cum jar, resulting in the Elves
Then Mega Man Zero happens and, as you JUST SAID, that series ends on an incredibly satisfying and conclusive note

The games make it abundantly clear that everything inbetween these events is just gonna be endlessly repeating filler, to which basically any romhack can also do the job.

THE ONLY SERIES THAT NEEDS A RESOLUTION IS LEGENDS

>>713440851
Megaman is many small stories that when arranged together become a massive epoch-spanning story. The X series, for example, is actually 3 separate series. X1 through 3 are about X and are on the Super Nintendo. It's about X achieving his potential as his father dreamed and it ends with him effectively the leader of the United Nations. X4 through 6 are about Zero and are on the PS1. It's about Zero coming to terms with what he was meant to be and realizing he can go his own way in spite of it; an echo of Protoman. X7 to the theoretical X9 are about Axl and were on the PS2. We still don't know how this was supposed to end because they canned X9.

And this is just one subseries within the larger MM timeline. It isn't "one story", it's many stories, in sequence.

>>713433068
Whatever happened to Valkyria Chronicles anyway? I know there's like 4 games but people literally only talk about the first one and the small bits I've seen of Number 4 are indistinguishable from Trails.

what is that retard arguing against MegaMan having a new game even asking for?
Rather Capcom makes 23 more MH games and 15 more RE and SF games (which they will do anyway).
You didn't buy Capcom's new games and every sequel and reboot and remaster has become a monkey paw.

>>713441583
He'll never say because to do so would out him as a seething fan of another series he thinks deserves more recognition, as opposed to a reasonable sensible person who's having a completely normal reaction to something that just doesn't deserve to be so popular.

Megaman's limbo is insulting because they keep it around for shitty crossovers and market the shit out of it with Funkos and comics and artbooks but no games. Capcom knows how to make money off it, but they can no longer make anything that isn't covered in RE-engine vaseline. So Megaman's been reduced to a Sanrio mascot for milenials and hyper fixated Zoomers. Give him a new game or let him die Capcom.

>>713434924
I think it's just one mega autist posting a lot.

>>713420645
I do. It was great.
>>713424635
Wrong. Itsuno never made a bad game. Only discord trannies shit on him.

>>713440554
What kind of resolution do you really want from classic Megaman tho? Either Dr. Wahwee goes to prison and stays the fuck there or finally gets his ass blasted, and then you have to believe he isn't just inexplicably back for the next game anyway. It's a legitimately pointless exercise. Everybody knows these games are formulaic and no conclusion will stick if there is more money to be made. It'd be like feverishly awaiting the chronologically final Mario game like there's going to be some big satisfying payoff in the end, and not just more bing bing wahoo chasing after a big turtle nigga until the day that shit stops printing money.
Same shit for X. They stopped making these when it stopped making money. They invented this Axl character noone liked and planned a storyline around him, and when people didn't buy that shit, they bailed on the series. Had it done well, you'd have 9 X games and they would've set up some other cliffhanger to get bent out of shape over.

>>713442774
>if they'd stopped making games sooner you wouldn't want more games so you should stop wanting games now so you don't want them in the future

Why do you keep bringing up a resolution to Classic Megaman when literally nobody in this thread is asking for that?

Why does capcom like resident evil and fighting games so much?

You mean Street Fighter. Have they even made another FG outside of that serties since Infinite?

>>713443063
Horror and competition are the lowest of lowbrow lizard brain emotions that you can sell no-questions-asked to mouthbreathing knuckledraggers. It's the same reason a FIFA or DBZ episode release is a national holiday across South America.

>>713442983
Because most Megaman series did resolve, and if they didn't they're designed to be endless sequel wank. Everytime Megaman comes up, there's complaints about literally every single subseries not having received a new game, when most of these are finished, or some monster of the week series that stopped making money.
Again: What is the conclusion you're seeking?

>>713443689
Nobody necessarily wants it to end. What's wanted is a continuation, and the lack of resolution invites that want. Why do you want it to end?

>>713443689

That checks out, the last new Darkstalkers title was in 97 with all the releases after it just being reskins of those last three games. If you are 30 now that means you were two when DS3 came out, by the time you'd be old enough to play them at least for their rating, would be 2010ish, which that was 15 years ago. If anything the amount of people here recalling games from the 90s tells us how very fucking old this board has become over the years.

I don't want it to end, I just don't really understand why more is needed. MM isn't a neglected franchise at all, there's hundreds of hours worth of game in there. It kinda just seems like a couple series that more or less have run their course, and the main developer for these games seems to mostly just have lost interest. The post I replied to talks about "lack of resolution" and "threads in the main MM timeline" like any of this shit matters. Is there lore in any of these games that I'm missing that is absolutely critically important to resolve?

Nobody needs videogames. What's your problem with there being more if you don't care about the series? Also, there being a large library of games is a non-point if you aren't a zoomer and grew up consuming that 'backlog' when it was new. Why do people even make movies? There are so many from the 1960s! We should just shelve the medium, since it's run its course. Nobody needs more.

>>713442295
>Megaman's limbo is insulting
romhacks like Rockman 4 MI completely blow all mega man games out of the water. it set the bar so high there's nothing capcom can do to compete, so they prefer to close their eyes and pretend mega man doesn't exist

>>713446805
It should be easy to understand, anon. There's this sense of unease and blue-balling because Capcom keeps making and selling truckloads of Megaman merchandise but not making any games in ANY form. Also, Megaman Legends 3 was such a blunder, the butthurt still persists. And if in the rare occasion they make a game or release a compilation and it sells worse than the last Monster Hunter game, people will turn into smug marketing experts and tell you you didn't buy the game and you didn't deserve it, and since the market says it's not needed, that's the last of it. I wouldn't trust current day Capcom not to murder me with a Q-tip but in this day and age people are obssesed with their hyperfixations getting new products.

>>713437735

>Why do people even make movies? There are so many from the 1960s! We should just shelve the medium, since it's run its course. Nobody needs more.
To be honest I am very tired with every other big movie being a sequel or reboot as well. Yes, I would actually ask the same question for some movies, why we would need them. Do we really need another Jurassic Park? Another bad superhero movie about the same motherfucker I watched a bad superhero movie on as a kid? Some other 80s movie regurgitated? Old shit my parents watched, but not as good. It is tiresome.

What are you looking for in a new Megaman game? I guess that's really what my question boils down to.

>>713449129
1) The most egregious hanging plot threads at least addressed. (Axl/Lumine, what happened to Ciel, the Mother Elf is just out there somewhere fucking about, Legends 3)
2) A healthy balance of keeping the spirit and innovation. X7 was supposed to be a multiplayer action-adventure game in the vein of Devil May Cry, for example, not just a foray into 3D for 3D's sake.
3) A new subseries canon to the main timeline to continue building out the world, but far enough away from the C/X/Z plots that the "family feud" Light vs Wily legacy doesn't become overburdened.

In the manga (that Inafune himself said got the soul of the series so right that he considered the writer/artist an unofficial member of the team), it has a story about Duo coming back to Earth and Blues leaving with him. Maybe some kind of canon but distant side-story adapting that, along with actually taking an honest shot at 3D combat using some of their DMC talent. I'm open to other ideas, but MM largely fell to the wayside because it failed to evolve with gaming; it's been locked in stasis and they're afraid to touch it. The X, Zero, and Legends series were never originally canon; they were made canon after fans accepted their original and then they were grafted in and expanded upon.

I think we need more of that. Experiments to see what works and what doesn't, and then embrace what does while letting everything else become Command Mission side tangents. Y'know. EVOLVE.

I don't even want a new Lost Planet anymore considering how shit nu-Crapcom games have been.

It’s impressive how Metroid is still alive and kicking

>>713451645
Alright. You're gonna have to explain Chiyo-chan and the fat fuck from DragonTales to me in the context of Metroid.

>>713444989
I think a lot of people are younger than the games and know her because of porn. I don't think many people played darkstalkers

>>713451762
Not him, but I bet the Dragon Tales guy is Kraid or Ridley lmao. Chiyo has to be Prime 2's light spots. Maybe.

>>713442295
Megaman also suffered from game development becoming too expensive. You can't make what's practically a ROMhack that lasts a few hours and re-sell it at full price, (same thing goes for Pokémon which abandoned the 3rd versions of their respective generations and opted for DLC expansions, which Megaman 11 didn’t even get) and there's no budget to make them and sell them cheap because they need a decent budget of people who know what they're doing and making sure it runs properly on Nintendo, Sony, Xbox and PC.

>>713451958
I was around when she came out and the only reason I know her is Pocket Fighter. Fighting games were way more niche back then, so Darkstalkers was a niche within a niche, within the already niche that was video games. Unless you knew people specifically into fighting games, she was 'that vampire chick that cameos in Capcom games but I don't know what she's from'. I didn't find out she was from an original series and not Street Fighter until like 10 years later.

I presume peoples' primary exposure now is MvC or porn.

>>713452035
Yeah. AA development is perceived as not worth it by those big companies. You could do like Tengo Project or the people making that new Ninja Gaiden or Shinobi games are, (hell I'd take a 3D game with DKCR tier Pixar-y graphics) and put genuine effort into making a good-looking 2D game, make a bunch of extra modes for the thing.... But I bet dollars to donut, a game exec would just see this as a money sink if it wasn't gonna do gangbusters.

>>713442774

When you really think about it:

X had 3 games to himself being the SNES Trilogy

Zero had the PS1 Trilogy focusing on him, his origins and how the Sigma originated from him

While Axl only has X7 and X8 which introduces the new generation of reploids that can shapeshift, go maverick at will regardless of the Virus. Wonder how they would’ve expanded on these new generation of reploids in a hypothetical X9

If the picture was true-er to real life then Morrigan would be a pile of webbed bones clumsily hidden under the carpet

There hasn't been a new Darkstalkers game since the PS1 era. MM and DMC releases are just as common as RE releases.

>>713420771
We wanted a sequel, not a remake.

>>713452992
that's because Darkstalkers is kusoge and people only like the characters and the meme value

>>713443689
It’s insane to me how Final Fantasy is at its 16th installment, I say this because both it and Megaman were ongoing at the same time, even both had their start in 1987

And of course Megaman 2 is the FF7 of its series

>>713444696
Cool now play X1 Hard Type

>>713453160
No one has ever cared about Demitri ever since whoever made this OVA. It's cool-looking, amazing action, but it completely misses the dark comedy aspect of the series.

>>713446116
If that meme in OP were made in the 2000s you bet your ass Megaman would be the pig instead but I digress

>>713420389
>shitllenials fell for the bait
kekaroo

>>713451762
>>713451981
Dragon Tales is Kraid and correct about Prime 2

>>713450415
>1)
Will maintain that Legends 3 is a bummer, yes. ZX too.
I'd argue X was already pushing it with the last couple games to begin with. Axl pretty much only showed when the games had already become slop, but sure, aborted story arc is aborted story arc.
>2)
I think by the time of X7 the series had a little too much baggage to completely reinvent itself, which is kind of the issue with Megaman, in general. Capcom always pumps out like 3 identical games three years in a row and then struggles to meaningfully evolve the series in question.
>3)
If they make new Megaman I'd want them to do something completely different so yes, I think a new subseries would be nice. Battle Network is probably one of my favourite subseries just for how fundamentally different it was while still keeping a lot of the essence of what I liked about the (at the time) older games.

>I think we need more of that. Experiments to see what works and what doesn't, and then embrace what does while letting everything else become Command Mission side tangents. Y'know. EVOLVE.
Exactly. I don't hate Megaman, I just think making sequels for sequels' sake is retarded. That's how you get the worst games in the franchise, the uninspired "release of the year" kinda junk every series seems to always have at least one example of. This shit was synonymous with Megaman at some point. I have enough shitty underwhelming sequels in my life. No more.
While some of these subseries dying without a finale is sad, I'd rather they just have a good fresh idea first and just make a new modern iteration of Megaman rather than try and make a satisfying conclusion for shit from 20 years ago that is, at best, official fan fiction because the team and people involved will likely be largely different anyway.

>>713420331 (OP)
Are people really mad that Resident Evil, far and away Capcom's best selling franchise, gets a lot of attention?

>>713453160
dem traps

>>713439748
I have Sonic 1, 2, 3, Knuckles, and Mania in over 30 years. I've accepted long ago that there probably won't be much if any classic styled games.

>>713431158

>>713424707
Decrepit old, and fat dinosaur outside striggling to eat the feast capcom prepared for it

>>713454503
Star Gladiator/Plasma sword look really nice but played awful.

>>713454891
When did it all go so wrong

>>713454586
ah, yes, the legendary "dwarf" class.

>>713453921
It's kind of nuts how many genres MM has already touched; it goes past Mario. Just the ones I've played are like...

Jump and Shoot Sidescroller: Most of them
Sports: MM Soccer
Racing: Battle and Chase
JRPG: Command Mission
TRPG: Rockman Strategy
CCRPG: Battle Network/Star Force
Fighting: Power Fighers/Power Battle
Visual Novel/Rail Shooter: Super Adventure Rockman
Literal fucking board game: Rockman Golden Empire
3D Action-Adventure: Legends

Then there's a social PVP gacha in XDive and whatever the hell XOver was supposed to be. The fact that they had an MMO in the works at one point is less ridiculous and more like just another box to check off. But I notice all that wacky genre-experimentation took place almost exclusively in the Classic series. I think once the X/Zero plot really took off, they felt like they had to stay in that more serious pocket. Actually, maybe that's the right way to think of the Classic series: the petri dish where you can try insane things and if they don't work then whatever, it's the subseries with time travel and ancient aliens so don't take it too seriously.

>>713454880
Now this one was done dirty, great idea and great executio with the up to three man tag system that's based on last hit KO rather than health but the idea being around schools literally brawling with each other killed any chance of it lasting in this scandalous hungry world.

>>713425981
time to roll her out again

>>713454952
Street Fighter 4.

>>713455130
I never thought about it like that. But lots of Japanese media has kids fighting in school.

>>713455382
100% canon btw

yes i will die on this hill

>>713455382
God damn Roll is fucking huge

>>713455321
right because the idea of full on brawls happening there were fantasy, but even in the 1980s school violence in the US and UK were fucking common as hell and both of those cultures hunger for controversies to distract themselves from the bigger issues.

>>713420389
kill yourself

>>713455585
Wily is copping a feel.

I wish something had become of Cyberbots. Kinu didn't kill it with these designs, she commited genocide.

>>713420389
that’s morrigan from darkstalkers you absolute retard.

>>713427278
fuck off tranny. The last Mega Man game came out 7 years ago.

>>713455681
Honestly I think the whole choose your pilot and mech was too much for a fighter for the general audience. If they all just had a unquiet mech and fight style that would have helped it a lot.

>>713455681
>will never beat the shit out of people with debihime
I don't want this feel

>>713438751
>this was literally the plot of DD2
what did Itsuno mean by this?

>>713456193
Yet another character I knew exclusively from porn for like 20 years. I went crosseyed seeing her in an actual game after her existing solely in hentai for most of my life.

>>713420331 (OP)
no its megaman fans, particulsrly classic and X
>megaman there
>when it has more games than RE, DMC and darkstalkers
>possibly combined

>>713456193
What are you talking about there she i- whoops no there she goes again.

>>713428823
sonicfags don’t deserve any more games

>>713456473
>much older series has more games than much newer series
Mega Man had completed its first TRILOGY of games before Goku went Super Saiyan.

>>713431864
>>713431970
>>713432519
Megaman games, esp the classic and X series are such short games and were to cheap for capcom to make hence why so many were made. A megaman game being made doesn't mean we cant get another DmC or Darkstalkers because a megaman is a fraction of their budgets.

>>713428823
except Sega actually makes games for better or for worse.
>>713456653
why?

>>713455123
I know some of the BN spinoffs that were never localized were also essentially an autobattler and one had an Animal Crossing-style real-time clock and calender?
Maybe they should just release more gimmicky crap again and see what sticks. It's kind of a shame you don't see the "let's essentially romhack our game into something completely different"-type of game that often anymore. That new Elden Ring game is probably the most high profile example of that in decades.

I kinda like Dr Regal. Sure the execution was giga fucked, and MMBN4 is such a shit game, but you can kind of recognize the pieces for a good character in him. Cool design too. Too bad they ruined it with 5, but. I still kind of like him.

>>713456897
the sonic ip is the sole reason why they don’t utilize othet sega ips, it’s why frontiers looks like a unity asset flip because they require no effort

>>713441504
standard Sega management
>VC1 sells poorly domestically, but does great global
>release VC2 on psp, bombs because of low global usebase
>don't even translate VC3
>Sega EU practically begs to port VC1 to PC, sells gangbusters comparatively
>VC4 comes out, it's the same game as VC1 just a different location with a few expac-tier additions
>Azur Revolution happens

>>713454563
Ok

>>713454023
Most people are aware that Resident Evil is one of their best selling series. The real reason, is that it’s a series they don’t like or care about. Those same people probably have at least one series they like that fits that criteria from a different company and don’t mind. That’s it really.

>>713435874
29 and I fucking love Darkstalkers

you're just a pleb

>people unironically asking for a new darkstalkers
The last one was nearly 30 years ago and would still look better then anything modern capcom could make.

>>713456912
You're probably thinking of 4.5 Real Operation, where you take the role of Lan more exclusively and feed Megaman buffs and chips while he does the fighting. I'd count it as an auto-battler, or even maybe some kind of bastard RTS.

>>713420331 (OP)
I mean i get it OP, I am a bigger fan of RE by far but even I can appreciate if DMC fans are bitter to watch RE fans get four new games in the time that they got one. Resident Evil fans started getting stir crazy at just a 2 year gap since REmake 4.

>>713457074
3D Sonig games are giga putrid pieces of trash but I will never resent them too much because they're still funding a new Shinobi game. Sega' ocassionally throws us boomers a bone with the money they make with their big IPs. But Nu-RE isn't funding anything. Just another billion dollar budget RE-Engine abomination every seven years. Sure hope that new Onimusha lands on its feet.

>>713457074
>the sonic ip is the sole reason why they don’t utilize othet sega ips
Lol you are completely wrong. Sega started making new Jet Set Radio, Shinobi, Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage BECAUSE Sonic Frontiers sold so well. Sonic Team is behind most of these titles.

>wanting modern capcom anywhere within a 5000 mile radius of darkstalkers
Fucking kill yourself OP

>>713456061
The pilots really don't do anything other than change the story in arcade mode. The mechs themselves are the actual characters in a gameplay sense.

>Thread is about shitting on DMCfags
>Turns into Mega Manfags vs Sonicfags
Not what I expected today.

>>713457759
>he still doesn't know

>>713454891
I was never able to identify who it was between Steve and the Captain. It doesn't look like a BOF Ryu though it seems he has to do with the little fairy up to the left

>>713457870
There's a dedicated autist that shows up in every thread that so much as alludes to Mega Man to seethe about it. I genuinely have no idea what their problem is.

RE engine will save darkstalkers

>>713458472
well that looks like a monster, perfect for darkstalker

Trust Noone Not Even You're Self

>>713457870
The original premise is stupid. Realistically DMCfags probably don't even make the top ten of worst victim complexes. Megaman and Sonic are both better candidates.

>>713459127
>Megaman and Sonic
>victim complexes
How?

Now I know... this hand was made for sending guys like you back to hell! MAGOKEYU Sharingan!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the most masterfully crafted first-posts I've read in a while, well done

Megaman is one of the most autistic and formulaic franchises in videogame ever.
Zero QoL improvements, copypasted gameplay (oohhh now the robotmaster can shoot diagonally, oh goooodd!!!), toddler difficulty and just outdated overall.

>>713420331 (OP)
Their last game was 6 years ago and counting. I think DMCfags as annoying as they are should be allowed to be ass mad.

How many more QoL improvements do you need? MM11 had enough QoL features.
>copypasted gameplay
all the stages are new in every MM games, all the bosses are new in every MM games, all the weapons are new in every MM games. They don't copypasted all that much aside from core mechanics and rightfully so.
>toddler difficulty
all modern games are easier than MM games.
>outdated
are you retarded?

Resident Evil is one of the most autistic and formulaic franchises in videogame ever.

No compromises. Give me fucking Darkstalkers.

It's just Miku

There’s absolutely no sane reality where someone can unironically claim that Sonicfags are starving. Maybe they might be starving for quality but there’s no shortage of Sonic shit. Those niggas got 3 movies an OW game and a new racing game within the span of 5 years. If anything Sonic is a testament the resilience of Sega on keeping the IP alive through thick and thin.

>>713461270
something they never had to begin with!

>>713461178
megaman also started in the mid 80s instead of the 90s to early 00's period the other three started in and that 130 is padded to hell and back by extremely iterative sequels and what would be an expansion dlc in current year so the list of actually distinct megaman games is smaller then it looks.

>>713427278
on one hand imagine being this well fed and then getting cut off like the series was never popular in the first place
like they didn't even bother try making a series for the 3ds like they did with battleforce, and starforce or the zero games

on the otherhand, there's a reason why the series fell out of favor. those last few games were met with lurk warm reception and just sold worse and worse that its no wonder they just gave up on it to focus elsewhere

on the other other hand, the reason why they did that was because they were trying to pander to western audiences hard during the early 2010s and megaman they just couldn't fit in
and back to the other hand that was stupid of them to do anyways and capcom should've tried finding a reasonable way keep the series instead of just throwing it away. i mean it was still their longest running franchise and even if it would be a cringe westernized version would have at least been interesting in hindsight

tl;dr i did share the same belief as you but there's more reason for them to have kept the series than just let it go.

>>713461124
I love that this is just blatantly an optionaltypo lora and despite that they're charging someone money for it over at patreon.

Mega Man doesn't need more games
Plenty of fangames are as good as the real thing

>>713461526
I don't want a MM12 very urgently. But I would kill for Legends 3.

Phoneposters should be banned.

>>713428823
>>fat leon = persona
not really their franchise, even if they bought atlus. replace persona with yakuza. fits more thematically
>>dante = phantasy star
kind of accurate? they did have a game a few years ago that they shutdown and not the franchise is in limbo
>>megaman = sonic
not accurate at all. sonic still gets games
>>morrigan = valkyria chronicles
both series finished and have no reason to really come back otherthan fanfare so yeah

>>713461651
Phoneposters keeping your shitty club in line.

>>713461426
>pandering to Western audiences
You are now remembering they contracted Retro Studios to make a Megaman X FPS in the style of Metroid Prime.

>>713461478
Have you seen how good the cutesexyrobutts clones do? People can charge for ai to shit out whatever now at this point.

>>713461420
>its smaller if i made up some retarded rules
NO
it has 130 fucking games you cant gl around crying about favorites when
1- the series has a fuck ton of games
2- the series was always given a chance even when it was never a top seller and had underperformances (the main examples being SF2 and ZX which had low sales and capcom still gave them a sequel and a lower sells expectation and they managed to sell LOWER than that)

>>713461630
Legends deserves a third game
But after that, no more megaman

>>713461742
Prime was faithful. I don't understand how you go from Prime to this.

>>713461817
You are so fucking mad. What series is it you wish was getting that number 2 spot on the popularity poll, Anon?

>>713461843
Retro didn't know anything about Megaman, not even the shared cultural background of "Metroid is like Alien but even more sci-fi". They were basically handed the IP and told to go nuts with almost no context. I actually would have liked to see a canon game like this if it were something like a gaiden game where you play Vile pre-X1 and show him going off the rails from his own perspective. But it was going to be a trilogy that rehashed the Zero series where X gradually goes mad with power and in the final game you play as Zero to kill him. So while I think it could have been saved, I'm glad it died as it was.

>>713461426
>on the other other hand, the reason why they did that was because they were trying to pander to western audiences hard during the early 2010s
You know, they're still doing that. Street Fighter 4 was the first symptom, as admitted by Ono. DmC: Devil Mat Cry, Dead Rising 4, Lost Planet 4 and that boring piece of shit movie game where the ending was DLC that everybody loves but me Asura's Wrath were the ugliest, rash-filled stages of the infection. But starting with RE7 and MH World, they've hit a stride where they managed to marry the putrid visuals western graphicwhores want with good japanese gameplay. Inafune and those Canadians were scapegoats and we are right to hate them, but in a way, Capcom as a whole never stopped "pandering to the west", and I suspect they had this mindset ever since Resident Evil, the very first one, was such a smash hit.

>>713461817
why does megaman need to sell millions when 90% of its games are
>the last game, but we changed the bosses and gave a slightly different story mode
they're cheap to make, but they need to make 1000% their budget back to be worth making?
>SF2 and ZX
people didn't buy these games because they were blatantly worse then the battle network/zero games they were otherwise extremely similar too in literally every way

>>713420331 (OP)
No that’s megaman, that shit already has fuck ton of games.

>>713420331 (OP)
How many games do megaapes need before they say "You know what? after 30 generic sidescrollers I think I'm satisfied with this shit and ready to move on"

>>713461843
I remember reading Prime was going to be way different before Miyamoto swooped in and had them redo all kinds of shit

>>713462238
All.

>>713462039
>Retro didn't know anything about Megaman
There's really no excuse for not knowing a cultural icon as high profile as fucking Mega Man no matter which side of the ocean you are on. It's not like they didn't have him in Texas. Like, even if you aren't into the series, there's enough info at your fingertips to find out. I'd like to think that if it was my fucking job, I'd care enough to read up a little. And not go so crazy off-the-rails that you abandon every critical anime influence and turn him into some box-art parody of himself. Or X, as it were. Though he looks way more like NES box art Megaman.

>>713461843
capcom wanted to appeal hard to western audiences during the 2010s
so much so they were willing to commissions western studios specifically to make their games, thinking they would do better at appealing to western sensibilities. making a good game was to subjective of an idea to them
looking at the games that ended up being outsources (DmC, Lost Planet 3, Deadrising 3, and more if i forgot some) it seems they gave them a mission statement to try to ignore sensibilities of the previous games and try to make the new games much more "western". basically appeal to the Call of Duty audience
DmC treated itself like it was embarrassed of its anime inspired roots, Deadrising 3 toned down the silliness of the previous games, and I never played Lost Planet 3 but i heard it was a downgrade from the previous games.
Even the remasters for their fighting games at the time had art that was much less "anime-ish" art made for character icons

>>713462124
zx is better than zero
no rank, no grinding, no screencrunch

>>713462315
Explains a lot if true. Too bad Capcom didn't care enough to set them straight. Then maybe I'd care that this game didn't get made.

>>713462096
capcom has always understood that they need their games to appeal somewhat to the west to get popular but they never thought about the possibilities of CoD money
when that was on the table they were willing to rent out ips to unproven western studios just because they were western

>>713461742
That one MM Doom wad has me convinced that fps MM could work. Not super big on the Act Zero style designs, but i could get down with it being a prequel to X1 with a newly awoken X teaming up with some cyborg detective and leading up to Zero's awakening and early days of Reploid creation.

>>713462614
Retro did have a few bangers canned in the womb by Nintendo that could have been good though. IIRC they had developed a sort of Ninja Gaiden esque game where you played as Shiek in the 7 year window between Young and Adult Link in OoT. Miyamoto apparently thought it was too far. I'm only half-remembering how that went down, but they definitely had a prototype for a Shiek game and Nintendo hard vetoed it.

>>713420389
lmao @ all these yous great bait m8

>>713461426
Not only this, but the last few years of Megaman's "life" before he died with a whimper consisted of

>Megaman Legends 3
>Megaman Universe
>Bad Boxart Megaman in Tekken vs SF
>Inafune being revealed as an ideaman hackfraud
>the whole MN9 thing

At least Shove Knight was gret. But MM went from 100 to 0 in like 2 years tops. Enough to leave bad taste for a lifetime on most Megaman fans. It was really jarring dude.

>>713462569
Capcom also had a Strider game made by Westerners released in 2014, but that was fun.

>>713462738
My biggest problem with Maverick Hunter was, aside from the "and then Zero had to take down power-mad X" rehash, that the gameplay seemed to be focused on regular-ass guns. The buster was basically just a machinegun. It had a rocket launcher or grenade launcher attachment or something. Not even a vague similarity to a buster, nevermind a variety of powers. Just the same brown and bloom 00s FPS arsenal we've used in every other game of the era.

>>713462913
Thanks for reminding me that existed, I bought it for like 4 euro On Steam last year and it completely skipped my mind, time to go play it.

>>713462794
That doesn't sound very good to me. I love OOT, but Shiek is so goddamn irrelevant. I think it's dumb she's pushed so hard in Smash Bros, too.

>>713463096
It was on same recently too until the 18th I think.

>>713462883
Bad box art MM is a fun idea and i wish he was in Street Fighter proper. A Hollywood stuntman nammed Rockford Manning, supported by his manager/sister Roll, star of a series of cheesy sci-fi B movies called MEGAMAN, joins a world fighting tournament as a form of promotion for the 12th upcoming film and to make some cash.

>>713462794
the half you're not remembering is pretty important, the game was not ninja gaiden-esque, it was a mechanical nothing akin to whackamole

>>713463185
The design is just really cool, plus Smash turned her into this Ninja. Sheik is also fun in Hyrule Warriors, and is one of the most broken characters.

>>713462883
This too. Megaman didn't fade away; it got increasingly shafted in development resources, and when people started noticing and feeling less enthused, Capcom took that to mean the series was dead and yanked the plug so abruptly you'd think they'd executed the staff responsible. How many games were outright cancelled? Legends 3 is the one everyone talks about because it was the most egregious, but there was ZX3, an MMO, Star Force 4 was in development, I can't even remember if Universe and the MMO were the same thing. Then an appearance in Smash Brothers just to keep hope extant but unfulfilled.

We saw them garroting the series for years leading up to it, with MM9 and 10 falling back on the retro pixel crutch, X7 was literally unfinished, Command Mission was rushed as fuck and has almost as much cut content as made it into the game, etc.

>>713463185
Yeah, but I'd have said the same thing about Raiden before MGR. Sometimes a bit character getting their own laser-focused game is what makes them.

>>713463373
Well that sucks.

>>713463185
She probably had a bigger focus in the games development, considering all of the early and official art featuring him/her.

>>713462585
the ds screen is a fraction wider then the gba, it's taller but the two games have the exact same horizontal level design and the 2nd screen is used for a map because its the worlds least interesting metroidvania now so it doesn't actually matter
>no rank, no grinding
i'm sorry you have brain damage and expect to be a master player at a game the first time you play it but if your self worth is ruined by the game giving you a letter grade at the end of a level you need therapy & to stop playing slow boring games like zx

>>713463503
Don't you get a de facto rank anyways based on whether or not you used a boss' weakpoint, which then makes you grind to undo the damage to the biometal?

>>713427278
I've been saying this shit since the whole Mighty Number 9 fiasco.

>>713463203
Sure it was a cute idea and I've warmed up to it over the years but at the time, the timing for it couldn't have been worse.

>>713463185
Have you considered Sheik looks really fucking cool. Her Dragon Ball jumping into Fox's Airwing and smashing the cockpit during Subspace Emissary is one of the raddest things that's ever been in a Nintendo game.

>>713463381
She served as a fine last minute twist when they finally answered "Where the hell was Zelda all this time?" But otherwise I don't particularly like her as a character or as a design.

>>713463443
>Sometimes a bit character getting their own laser-focused game is what makes them.
True enough. I can't say with certainty that I wouldn't enjoy or even love a game if it was executed well.
Ignoring the potential for a miraculously good game... if you sat me down and asked "How would you feel about a Shiek game?" I'd just shrug, though.

>>713462124
>need to sell millions
nobody said that retard, in fact it shows how much of a favorite mega was because only 3 games ever broke the 1M barrier
you think capcom would have made re6 or 8 if the previous games didn't make bank? no you stupid retard
they were always softer on mega historically despite never being being a top seller
>they didnt sold because
thts a cope, they sold badly nd yet capcom instead of axing right there they gave them one last try

>>713463596
>timing
Capcom absolutely cannot fucking wrap their heads around this. They chokeslam a beloved series into the mud and then act like we're supposed to be excited about references to the times from before the mud. Then the fans get angrier and more disillusioned and Capcom interprets it as waning interest in the IP when all they had to do was just make good mainline content. The best-selling BN game is 4 because it rode the worship of 3, and then 5 underperformed because 4 was hot dogshit.

They've done it with nearly every IP they have at some point or another. They're currently wearing sunglasses and pulling their collar up to hope they can sneak by long enough for people to forget MvC Infinite.

>>713463443
Those years without Megaman also came with the current influx of companies selling us Mergaman merchandise including that Archie comic, which felt like a gift from the havens at the time.The timing for it could not have been better. Going back to it, it's far from terrible but I definitely had some rose-tinted glasses for it. His treatment of Protoman and Gil Stern is some of the best shit Ian has ever written, everything else is take it or leave it.

She doesn't though.

>>713463981
Can't completely disagree. One of the things I like thinking about is how she "passed for a man" with a bunch of leather armor and bandages to conceal her jiggly bits and how people dial the man-woman scale depending on where she is used. It's a versatile design for coom and serious situations, I really like it.

>She was fairly obscure anon.
I think you're exagerating to make zoomers feel better.
To determine if a character is obscure or not, put their name in the google: If they appear more times than other characters with the same name(or even the mythology they're based on), they're more popular.
Take a look: Only people who lived under a rock don't know who she is.

>>713464870
You're half right, after BotW no I'm not touching a new one that's for sure.

I don't understand peoples fascination with Dark Stalkers.
It had 3 games from 1994-97 infinitely remastered. It's an 30 year old series without a new entry. Ono. The only person remotely willing to entertain the thought of a sequel no longer calls the shots for fighting games.
It's a dead franchise. If it ever got a new game the game would be shit. Let it go.

The dude is counting every single rerelease as games

>>713461178
>megaman has a HUNDREED AND THIRTY (130) fucking games
There's no way he actually has that many. You only get a number this high if you cheat and include shit like MVC, where he just shows up. I would not count random fucking crossover games or repackaged collections as entirely unique Megaman games and neither should you. Or else suddenly Darkstalkers has like double digit titles as well. And we all know that's bullshit.

I shall attempt to recount the number of canon Megaman games.

Classic 1 through 11 (11)
Classic Spinoffs (MM&B, MM&B2, SAR, B&C) (4, total 15)
Megaman X 1 through 8, plus Xtreme 1 and 2 (10, total 25)
Megaman Zero 1 through 4 (4, total 29)
Megaman XZ and ZXA (2, total 31)
Legends 1, 2, MoTB, and Ao5I (4, total 35)


Then in the BN timeline we have:

BN 1 through 6 (6)
Network Transmission, Real Operation, Legend of Network, and Phantom of Network (4, total 10)
And then 3 Star Force games (total 13)

>>713431219

>>713468609
>>713468962
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mega_Man_video_games
Quick counting: I've tallied the ones here, even most portable shit like the World series on the GB, the Wonder Swan game, the Power Fighter releases of the NG Pocket, which are separate games.... but discounting ports and dual releases like what happened with MMBN, collections and shit. Came up with the number 63. Anybody else, feel free to count again, I suck at math.

>>713425821
Those weren't raped by the pajeet.

>>713469410
Shit, I completely forgot to add the Gameboy games. Increase the Classic Spinoff category by 5 entries.

Man this franchise really did struggle to evolve, 9th and 10th entries regressing back to 8-bit was a mistake

>>713469410
That's roughly what I got. Between that and the shitload of fangames and romhacks, I think there's enough Megs to go around.

>>713469530
9 was fucking great.

>>713469776
Legends 3 wouldn't have hurt (but it's never happening anyways) and neither woulda something cool with actually good 2D graphics. With an actual artstyle. Doesn't even have to be a sequel to anything, just learn from what Sega and other people like Tecmo (picrel) do from time to time with their legacy series. Capcom has the money but not the talent nor the interest, that's the problem.

>>713469336
Couple more spinoffs, but your ideas of "canon" may vary:
Megaman Soccer,
Megaman PC, Megaman 3 PC (you can be forgiven if you discount them for being awful, but they WERE licensed at the time)
Megaman X-Over
X-Dive
Power Battle
Power Fighters
Rockboard: That's Paradise!
Street Fighter X Megaman

You may not like it, but this is what peak (aesthetic) performance looks like.

>>713470206
I don't know why I haven't sat down and read all of Ariga's Megamans. The early ones were kino.

>>713469776
I want "New" Mega man games. Not sequels to previously series. Brand ass new Mega man games with no fucking numbers attached.

>>713470427
So you want a new spinoff? I could be fine with that.

>>713461742
other way around, Retro made a pitch to Capcom that got rejected

>HUURR DUUR dA megaymayn have a million games so it has to stop
Yeah and Resident Evil is about to get it's ninth mainline entry not even counting spin offs, so they should arbitrarily stop now because I said so, fuck RE fans, they don't deserve any more games because I deem it so. Same goes for Street Fighter and Monster Hunter.

>>713470153
Power Fighters and Battle should definitely be counted. They're pretty neat for what they are.

>>713470206
Love Ariga's Megaman. He completely infected me with his strange love for Ringman and Shademan.

>>713470153
I considered mentioning them but I'll list my reasons for not.

>Megaman Soccer
Entire teams are full of the same robot. This is a hard stretch for every character but especially Rock and Blues.

>PC
I don't actually have a reason to think this isn't canon, but almost nobody even knows about it and it effects nothing.

>XOver
I can't find a damn plot summary of it anywhere but as far as I know its tech lore more or less obliterates the canon timeline by making entities like X and Zero mass reproducable.

>XDive
Explicitly non-canon. You are actually a player playing the game and attempting to correct corrupted data files. Outright breaks the 4th wall and says Rockman is a videogame series you're a fan of.

>Power Fighters
Pretty inoffensive but also nothing really happens. I can't remember a reason this couldn't be canon but it also effects nothing.

>Power Battles
This is the big one. Tons of lore, particularly anything to do with Duo's perspective on other characters, the morality energy from space, and the Zero reveal. But it's clearly from an early draft of Duo's character. Even the manual text describes him as having a burning hunger for battle, and his aura is the wrong color which actually matters in this series. I'd like it to be canon but it's hard to try and claim it is.

>Rockboard
Same as PC and Power Fighters. It doesn't break anything but it's so inconsequential and unknown.

>Street Fighter X Megaman
I don't know enough about Street Fighter lore to have an opinion. Hado and all its associated disciplines clearly exist in Megaman; Zero gets Akuma's aura if he Awakens in X5's bad end and he gets a weapon in X8 that makes him a shoto fighter. Plus Magma Dragoon. I'd like them to be related but I can foresee catastrophic lore consequences if they are.

>Then an appearance in Smash Brothers just to keep hope extant but unfulfilled.

And there’s Banjo & Kazooie…

Hot take, but I feel like the franchise is best left as a nostalgic memory. Anything beyond a port and refresh probably won’t live up to our standards. Did Nuts and Bolts really do that much damage or was it Microsoft/Rare incompetence?

>>713470949
>PC
>almost nobody even knows about it and it effects nothing.
I also promise that nobody who matters considers them canon. There is 0% chance of them showing up or even being referenced because they're such cheap pieces of shit.

>Street Fighter X Megaman
>I don't know enough about Street Fighter lore to have an opinion.
Chun-Li did show up as a newscaster in MM9. But if you're being rational, it's just a funny background joke and it's not like that's her profession outside of fighting anyways. You also didn't mention Dr. Light dressed as Ryu, but I assume you're perfectly aware of that.

>>713470427
>>713470537
This is what I've been saying. Doesn't have to adhere to any Megaman canon, or it can be an "all-stars" crossover with Classic-X-Zero so it can have a billion playable characters and lots of bang for your buck. Make it look like picrel, take some visual inspiration from X4 but go even beyond, the game with the best pixels ever. Hire Game Kitchen or Tengo Project or Dotemu or someone, I don't give a fuck

>>713463503
Also ZX’s maps are horrendous compared to Metroid and Castlevania’s maps

>>713469512
Only the fifth one is original so only just one more.

>>713471107
It's just stubbornness of sticking to the established cast. Even before Ultimate, Sakurai just would not let anybody go for more than 1 game tops. Maybe it's because of fan outcry. Maybe it's just because it was easy to reimplement a fully fleshed out character. Probably both.

>>713462585
Funny how the Zero series is the complete opposite of the X series

X: Starts off strong with the first game, gets a drop in quality by the 5th game and oh god the 7th game

Chun Li from Tekken 5

>>713471396

>>713471502
>Dr. Light dressed as Ryu
I hold that Light is a colossal fucking weeaboo. He talks about growing up on mecha anime and that being the reason his robots' legs are so fucking fat. It's an in-universe Mazinger Z reference. The thing is, for him to have 'grown up on' mecha anime while also being old enough to be a tenured professor at MIT in time for 200X to happen, he had to be pirating Japanese broadcasts onto VHS or something in the 60s/70s and then learning Japanese to understand anything, because that shit didn't get subtitled until decades later.

The only non-clone, non-foreigner characters to ever be shitcanned from Smash were Mewtwo, 2/3s of Pokemon Trainer and the Ice Climbers. Why would they have cut Zelda's half, and one of the most played Melee characters, that also made a prominent appearance on one of Nintendo's most critically acclaimed games, when she was easy as pie to port and didn't conlfict with any other character? Should they have cut Ness and Captain Falco too, an also never bring back any FE character except for MmmmAAAAARRSSS since he was in Shadow Dragon?

>>713472174
By virtue of still showing up in games post 1990's, sure. Hell, she wasn't even invented until 2001, which was after all of Morrigan's non-cameo appearances.

>>713472272
Reminder that this is canon. The Japanese title of Legends 2 is Rockman DASH 2 Episode 2. The way it's translated, our title assumes the DASH 2 and Episode 2 are synonymous and redundant. But in Japan, that promo disk was Rockman DASH 2 Episode 1. It's a mainline titled and numbered prequel to 2 that takes place after Legends 1.

Absolutely. Fuck those bishie swordboys.

>>713420664
Ironically DMC or DMC2 has the most varied environments, and they're both games that do not have varied environments. DMC 3, the holy ghost of the series has an even more monotone aesthetic, the only unqiue levels are the top of the tower and the bar lol, the rest is grey destroyed city or demonic tower. Huh, kind of like DMC5, Just replace demonic tower with Qliphod tower. DMC5 has the best gameplay in the series. DMC3 is a harder (and more obtuse) game and thus more rewarding to beat, but Dante in DMC5 is just an improved upon version. Says alot when the only complaints are "you don't play as him early enough" (valid complaint, they should have done separate story lines for each character) and "uh i don't like the motorcycle chainsaw or faust". If DMC 5 had separate campaigns for it's characters, and an improved V this game would be considered peak no question.

>>713471868
It's only a natural evolution anon. Megaman X4 didn't look that much worse, it looked like a top tier arcade game of the time, it's X5 and X6 that mucked everything up with those anemic sprite sheets and ugly pre-rendered backgrounds. The budget downgrade was insane, iirc MMX4 bombed for its budget.

>>713472687
Yup I know, why did you think I mentioned Sega in my post? I don't think Capcom doing somethng like that for Megaman is unfeasible at all but I guess they're not willing to take any sort of loss.

Also we need a new Strider game

>>713473123
Holy fuck, I'd blow my load for new Shatterhand. On the subject, is there any NES game as fucking awesomely named as "SHATTERHAND?" I still think about that title from time to time, regardless of how already good the gameplay is.

>>713472274
Wellll apparently Jigglypuff pink ass was supposed to be cut from Brawl too, but Sonic delayed the game and that allowed for Jigglypuff to miraculously get in the game along with Toon Link and Wolf

Jigglypuff is one of the most poorly aged inclusions in the series. It's entirely there because of a gag from the anime that stopped being used decades ago in the 90s and using Kirby’s base.

I don't think seniority should protect it. After Pichu, Jigglypuff is by far the most expendable Pokémon veteran, imo. I even think we should even keep Squirtle or Ivysaur as standalone characters over Jigglypuff.

>>713473097
I've always meant to get around to playing the X Zones.

>>713473097
They keep giving Genmu Zero to Zero in fighting games even though he only ever used it in the bad ending. The only time Genmu Zero ever canonically happened was Nightmare Zero's completely gimped version of it.

>>713472786
Roy definitely should be cut to allow for more possible shilling they might want to do for a new game, never mind Lucas and Mother 3, Roy’s 20+ year old game is STILL not localized. And yes Corrin gets cut too since you can’t play his game anymore not that anyone would want to, and Byleth too regardless of the uniqueness, Robin has Weapon Durability which has been a core mechanic since the inception of FE.

>>713473445
It does build out a bit of lore for X and Zero by showing you things the X games couldn't. Zero has a moment where he comes face to face with an apparition of Iris post X4 for example. IIRC Wily gets a few spoken lines specifically addressing Zero.

I'll forever see Puff as costing us Meowth. If two Pokemon got in Smash it should have been Pikachu vs. Meowth. Not "Kirby 2." But they already had the "float" code and got lazy.
Yes I was an Ashime fag, but everyone was back then.

>>713473932
I think it was because Jigglypuff was supposed to be the Pokemon mascot and they changed to Pikachu at the last minute. She's an in-house favorite for GameFreak.

>>713472786
>Cap is more famous for his punch than his Blue Falcon at this point
It's exactly what I'm thinking cuz I love Falcon but a) doesn't stop me from missing F-Zero games and b) if we were to follow the same logic, Cap would have been axed way before Sheik, since she at least had a release in Ocarina of Time 3D and those weird Warriors games. And he would have either dragged Ganon with him or not, which both of them would have been super jarring. Believe me, this weird pissing contest mentality would drag down many cool characters with it.

>>713473376
You remind me of that dork defending the Marvel Infinite exclusives saying every character should be seen as a function and not as a character. Jigglypuff is a crazy popular character and you wouldn't hear the end from Smash fans. What would you replace it with anyways? That cheap toy looking ass goddamned ugly new Pokemon that's an evil Momotaro? Baxcalibur? Get real, Jiggs is way more well known and endemic of the series than any passing Pokemon. If any Smash character needs to get the ax it's all the third party ones from that last wave except for Terry and Kazuya.

You guys wanna talk about how many games Megaman has we’ll look remixes it got in Smash Ultimate, that’s how I’m ending off this thread, Castlevania also got tons of remixes too. Really makes me wonder if the composers for Ultimate are former Inti Creates or Capcom employees. Maybe it’s not too deep. But just wanted to point that out

>>713474010
No, that was Clefairy iirc.

>>713474096
Personally I'm starting to suspect that they're going to basically make Smash Ultimate: Special Edition for Switch 2 and keep it a running update kind of game from now on. It would significantly soothe legal problems with all the licensing if it were technically not a new game and just a "paid update/expansion".

>>713474292
Oh, you're right. Then I dunno.

>I think it was because Jigglypuff was supposed to be the Pokemon mascot and they changed to Pikachu at the last minute.

Temen Ni Gru was a proper castle/dungeon with proper varying environments.

Byleth should have been restatted into a glass cannon and his model swapped with 22XX Zero for a weaponsmaster type character. He's even got the Chain Rod.

>>713474096
GX being one of the first games added to GameCube NSO was the most based thing Nintendo has done in decades, and as another way of selling the Switch 2. The YouTube algorithm still shows me people playing it

Now, TO BE FAIR... Megaman and Castlevania are fucking LEGENDS in the soundtrack department. It may not be fair, but these are some of the hardest hitting franchises for memorable 8 and 16-bit music. Only Sunsoft really hit as high highs as Capcom and Konami of those days. But most of their games are licensed.

I wish they'd included some of their existing licensed remixes. This shit would go hard as fuck.

Today I learnt some people really fucking hate Jigglypuff.

>in-house favorite for GameFreak
Thank god they didn't choose Psyduck then, coming from the anime, it seems just as feasible lmao

Two of those posts are me, and it's admittedly because I'm a meowthfag. Jiggly plays fine, if I'm being perfectly rational on the topic.

As a fellow Pokefag I kind of feel your pain because it's super easy to come up with a cool moveset in your head for basically any Pokemon. 13 yo me would have given my left kidney for Heracross in Smash.

I can forgive everything if they give me Gardevoir.

Online, just get rid of it
Trish and Lady was pointless
Tree kept being recycled
Plot had shit pacing -There was no plot until mission 11 and then again during the last 3 missions
The plot itself is bad. Nero rediscovers his inferiority complex. Dante spends the game sighing. V spends his time alluding to being Mundus except he's Vergil's fucking Nobody.
No Shootie for the OST
Wildly inconsistent level design (was all the budget put into mission 2)?
Dante is yet again sidelined for characters who are more boring.

I can live with both versins existing.

>>713475895
I love MVC Rock, but I understand why Smash did what it did. He's much closer to the NES sprite there.

Reminds me of being 12 and thinking Namco X Capcom would erver come out in the west. God I miss the old Capcom so much.
