What do you even want out of a Mega Man 12 besides the usual defeat 8 Robot Masters and stop Wily?

The most important thing of all is good music.

>>713803809 (OP)
>Mega Man 8 visuals and music and vibes
>return to MM1 and X1 clever integration of the robot master refights instead of the lazy "they're just all on one stage along with final Wily"

>>713803809 (OP)
I don't want an MM12 either give me X10 or make something actual new

Playable Proto, Bass, and Roll.
And an actual full-length Wily Castle.

>>713803809 (OP)
I don't want Mega Man 12, I want Mega Man X9.

>>713803809 (OP)
Consistent visuals.
The last five games only had two entries with the same art style. If 12 is 2D again that would make 11 the ONLY 3D classic Mega Man, which makes the franchise look horribly inconsistent.
Also bring back the Double Gear system. It was a welcome edition to the Mega Man formula.

>>713803809 (OP)
Just end ZX ffs, I dont care if ends with most putrid slop, just end it.

>>713804972
I imagine the only people who give even the slightest shit about ZX or the staff that is now at Inti, so it's not going to happen.

I always wanted a rouge like megaman game. Imagine for the first robot master you choose between three random robot masters. Like say Elec Man, Plant Man, and Air Man. Then after defeating one, three more replace them like say Quick Man, Shadow Man, and Fuse Man. once again all chosen at random, add back playable protoman and bass. you can even say they adventure with megaman defeating the other two he didnt choose, perhaps a boss fight against bass later with the weapons he collected can happen towards the end game too

>>713803809 (OP)
for the robot masters to be at least mostly, preferably entirely, female. so i can kill more women

>>713803961
This. 11's soundtrack is a fucking joke

>>713804217
I would pay full price for this game if it meant the team working on it got paid to put out more content faster.

I would also pay for Corrupted if it meant JKB got a fucking project manager that forced him to actually complete his game this century.

>rouge like megaman game
It's called 20XX and 30XX, lad. They're pretty solid too. But I do agree, an actual Mega Man game in that genre would be neat if handled correctly. It's the only thing you can really do with the series that's remotely new or fresh without adding core gameplay gimmicks again.

>>713806324
It was def one of the weakest I like torch mans theme but thats about it. I find it odd they made free DLC for piano covers of the OST but never did 8-bit covers.

>>713806459
oh shit thats what 20XX is?! Its been on my radar for a while but now I gotta check it out!

>>713804972
Not every Megaman series needs to be fucking MMZ

>>713803809 (OP)
I don't want more classic

>>713805169
sounds retarded as fuck. procedural generated levels will be a pain, you will get abilities that are useless against most bosses.
There are a trillion roguelites, surely there are plenty run and gun ones.
What is even the point. Once you learn a boss to beat him with blaster there is no challenge unless you add skill stacking which is completely unfitting for an MM game.

>>713806817
You are wrong.

>>713807328
>procedural generated levels
I never said that.

>>713803809 (OP)
I want Legends

>>713807983
so you just play levels in a random order maybe with random boss. That's it?

>>713803809 (OP)
Who even wants Megaman 12? I think the X and BN series sold more than classic. We should be getting a new legends game or X game. Why can capcom spend millions on new ips that flop and ignore Megaman which would sell a lot more in this day and age where everyone is starved for a new bigger budget game.

>>713803809 (OP)
I just want more X (but good)

>>713803809 (OP)
I want a final game that connects the classic series to X, then a final X game covering the Elf Wars.

>>713808932
>using sales as an argument
>wants new Legends
Ironic

Literally anything but the fucking awful 3d graphics

>>713805169
Megaman Maker has an option to play random levels progression, also a bunch of individual levels have non-linear progression where you can pick up special weapons to use in different places.
Not quite roguelike but could scratch the itch, give it a try.

>>713806817
how about the one that's named after MMZ and plays like MMZ

>>713806642
You can safely skip 20XX and go straight for 30XX (the sequel) if you want. The art style is far more appealing.

>>713806459
At least we've been getting semi-frequent news posts for the next update
There's a lot of changed maps so far

>>713812246
Oh shit, they're still updating 8-Bit Deathmatch?

>>713809127
Same, man. I’d throw money at a proper X9 in the style of X4-X6. Give me sprite art, clean controls, and an actual story that doesn’t feel like an afterthought. Everything after Command Mission feels like they just abandoned X and hoped no one would notice. Just give the dude closure already, he’s literally been fighting for 100 years at this point.

I am playing ZXA + beat ZX for the first time, and I really like the metroid exploration and the hub world ideas.

ZXA kinda does it the way I'd do it, where halfway through the game there are actually traditional stages that you teleport to from the hub world.
So I'd have a hub world that you can explore and take quests in, fight optional enemies, explore and find items, and then 8 levels that you can teleport to.

I also really like how fresh ZX and ZXA are.
I probably wouldn't try to continue the story, might even go back in time and re-tell the story of an early Mega Man game like 2 or 4, but with a more fresh style. If it needs to be, call it an alt-universe.
And as light on story as possible, just with some of the freshness of the ZX games.
Sprite art is a must.

>>713813752
yeah, they're working on one last update for V6 and then moving on to V7 and content from 11

>>713803809 (OP)
4 players mode. Virtually every classic 2D platformer still around did it at this point, except Mega Man.

>>713803809 (OP)
A second castle

>>713818518
What if...THREE castles?

>>713804356
who dat

>>713803961
I liked it, I think it has the same problem as Megaman X3 where every song just kinda blends together due to the repetitive instrumentalization used

>>713821381
Piano, she was going to be the wily equivalent of Roll in a manga but she went unused.

>>713803809 (OP)
That's it

>>713821818
Has some Dorothy vibes

>>713803809 (OP)
A free to play first person open world crafting survival game with gacha elements, paid cosmetics, and season passes.

>>713803809 (OP)
How about... 16 DWN's !? Or 8 with alternate versions. And bring back the Super Adapter in 3D.
A Power-Fighters style multiplayer boss-rush that's also an entire franchise crossover is what I really want, however.

Unrelatedly, a new fangame came out of nowhere from the ashes of a cancelled X7 demake that instantly became my second-most anticipated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wV2EjMftmJM&

Mega Man 10 was supposed to have co-op, but it was scrapped before release

>>713824792
Funny because Megaman 2 was also originally idealized as being a co-op game before it got scrapped too.

>>713811251
This game is pretty good but I rerely see people talking about it.
