>>714767594 (OP)
>Megaman x9 never ever

Why are we here, just to suffer?

>>714767594 (OP)
it has 7 fucking sub-series it can't be that hard to come up with a sequel

megaman is getting a reboot akin to kid icarus uprising

it will be available on ps5/xboxrogally/steamdeck/pc day one.

>>714767594 (OP)

For the record, I haven't played any of the subseries within subseries of the X/Zero games. But have they ever done a Metroidvania? That seems like a really obvious thing to do, considering it's a side scrolling platformer and Mega Man's power is taking enemy weapons which could be used for exploration purposes.

>>714767872
The first ZX. Most would say it wasn't done very welll.

>>714767872

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olYCsHuqjOo

>>714767594 (OP)
It was only brought out of the freezer briefly to cash in on the attention Mighty No. 9 got on Kickstarter and then put immediately back in again.

Our best bet of seeing another one is a prominent clone bringing attention to the series again.

>>714767872
I think one of those Zero spinoffs on the GBA was like that from memory

>>714767957
Not that anon but it's like the third time Capcom says the same thing about the series with nothing to show for it.

>>714768020
This got recycled into Recore btw

>>714768020
I don't even think the idea would be too bad, but it obviously would need some more work

>>714768020
iirc this was done in unreal engine 3. capcom was sucking off unreal back then and realized it sucked.

>>714768020
why is this X instead of its own thing

Megaman games are very hard to make. Trust Capcom, they just do some sidejobs like RE9 to sponsor their next Megaman game and get talent required to make it happen.

>>714767594 (OP)
>continuously considering ways to develop it further
Ok, ok. Hear me out. I've got a crazy idea!
What if... what if. Just consider. What if they made Megaman 12?

>>714768276
>What if they made Megaman 12?
Yeah what if they made an entry to a sub series that didn't even need it in the first place? Fuck off Classicniggers.

>>714768245
they have the sega problem. the people who know how to make sonic/megaman work are retired or dead. the new talent dont have the same magic.

>>714768379
Inti Creates is still right there if they don't want to make it themselves.

Capcom fucking hates its biggest IPs and I don't understand why. Mega Man, Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, Street Fighter, DMC they're all completely FUCKED.

Can't believe they made 60 of these games. Pure shovelware series.

>>714768585
They cut ties with them hard enough that they removed their logo from the intros to 9, 10 and the whole Zero/ZX collection. Japanese pettiness goes to the bone.

>>714768585
Like he said, there's nobody left that knows how to make a Megaman game work.

>>714768805
Mighty Gunvolt Burst was better than Megaman 11.

>>714768585
Capcom doesnt outsource shit anymore after Dead Rising and Lost Planet.

>>714768758
Resident Evil, Street Fighter, Monster Hunter are their golden eggs. The producer of MH iirc is the ceos son.

>>714767594 (OP)
>most important franchise

it still makes me laugh when they tried selling those shirts with the chronological release dates of megaman games and the last one was well over 15 years ago

How many more games are going to get cancelled this time?

>>714768837
>Capcom doesnt outsource shit anymore after Dead Rising and Lost Planet.
They still outsource plenty, they just don't outsource main projects anymore, but HD ports, smaller spin-offs and remasters are fair game; Dead Rising remaster was made by a Chinese dev for one.

Modern woke Capcom will probably have one of the enemy bosses be called Maga Man.

>>714767641
If they made a new MMBN / Star Force like where they actually expanded on the entire genre of card battlers they created, that'd be huge. It'd be doubly huge if they actually hired one of the few writers at Capcom who makes stories people like.
>REE SHU TAKUMI
proper cyberspace mystery murder rockman would be peak

>>714767594 (OP)
I always assumed they neglected the franchise after the designer left to make mighty number 9 as some sort of humiliation ritual. Konami does the same thing to kojima and iga games

>come up with a random gimmick if you want
>make about 12 stages + extra content
>can reuse enemies from the previous game
>write the same story as nearly every other game
>don't have to worry about graphics too much
Surely, a classic Mega Man game can't be too hard or expensive to make right?

>>714769347
megaman match probably got cancelled

>>714769754

but anon, how am I supposed to nickel and dime the user with that model

>>714769827
Onimusha hadn't got its announcement in 2022 like the leak forecasted, so people thought it might just have been cancelled. Then came 2024 and they formally revealed it.

It's safe to say everything in that list, that hasn't been internally canceled, got moved up by two years or more than Capcom originally expected when those documents were made in 2020.

>>714768831
No it was not

>>714769174

Gunvolt is ass and I'm tired of pretending it's not

Switch 2 will get a new Megaman game of some kind, right?
Right?

>>714768585
Inti should stick to making more bloodstained curse of the moon cause classicvanias have a lot less clones than megaman. Love those two games

At least they released these collections. But they are really struggling in making a new game it seems.

Capcom hasn't released a game worth playing in close to two decades now.

>>714772083
I genuinely hope we get Curse of the Moon 3 or some spiritual successor now that we're getting The Scarlet Engagement.

Barely even plays the same so I don't care. They will get contracted again for bloodstained 2 trust the plan

>>714774861
Yes. Really anything can work as long as you design it well. A megaman fps, action, rts, racing, or fighting game could all work given the devs aren't stupid.

>>714774861
Yeah. Depending on how well made it was, it would easily be the most successful Megaman game in the entire series sales-wise.

>>714767594 (OP)
What happened to that "creator"? You know the one.

>>714769347
Taisen clearly got canned and we weren't supposed to know about it. So we're at least at one.

I hate zoomers so much with a passion.

>>714776423
Zoomers aren't the ones asking for new games in a dead franchise.

>>714767641
Its possible something similar to Battle Network could be in the works, there was actually a statement somewhere how the massive success of the BN collection made Capcom unsure about how to proceed with the franchise moving forward.

>>714776423
Actual fucking zoomer over here larping

All I ask for is a trilogy that connects Mega Man to Mega Man X

>>714777143
Fuck off Zeronigger not everything needs to connect

>>714776154
legends never tried being classic mega man gameplay-wise beyond a few names and equippable weapons

>>714767872
I think in today’s development environment a metroidvania-style megaman might unironically be a smaller risk than dedicating a game to one of the subseries and risk losing potential audience.

>>714767872
No, closest is the ZX games and it was not very good.

Also Zero sounds like a great idea but its like they did their hardest to make it dogshit. It should have been Nija Gaiden Black 2D, instead we got some fucking weird speedrunning tryhard collecathon game

>>714772558
Mega Man fans should be playing MM14 by now. It makes no sense that they didn't do at least one follow-up to it.

>>714767594 (OP)

Never coming out.

Why are there any people at all that get mad when people ask for more Megaman games? F-Zero fans and Starfox fans and Chibi Robo fans or whoever can bemoan the state of their series but Megaman fans cross the line somehow?

there already trying

>>714779072
And interrupt the RE-MH-SF slop machine? Don't you think of niggers and their needs, you monster?

>>714768379
Sonic x Shadow Gens was fun

>>714779072
Jealousy or the idea that having a bunch of games and asking for more makes Mega Man fans greedy. And they usually cry about another series not having as many games, as if Mega Man getting new games is keeping said series from getting a new entry. Wanting to do business isn't being greedy, it's economics. A lot of people fail to realize that, and fail to realize why fans won't buy a bad game, regardless of how new and shiny it is (Sonic fans need not respond).

if i were in charge of megamans future i'd do what team ninja did and loan the IP out to good indie devs like with the upcoming ninja gaiden ragebound

>>714779580
just give it back to the guys who made the zero games also give this guy >>714778743 money

>>714779072
because they think the series has a billion hours worth of existing content even though beating all the mainline games from classic, x, zero, zx and legends takes less than 100h

>>714781959
There he is.
What series that you like isn't getting games and why should Mega Man fans care about it?

>>714767743
Capcom doesn't want to do A games anymore. They will have to turn it into some cinematic 3d slop

>>714767872
the metroidvania fad died half a decade ago. We are still in the rougelite and soulsslop arc

I haven't played very many megaman games, but I always wondered why they never made a 3D platformer like Ratchet & Clank. I feel like that's the next logical progression, while finding a way to somehow maintain being a MegaMan game. But again, I wouldn't know what that is since my experience is only with the NES games and one of the DS games I don't even remember much about. It's also probably not what fans want either so there's that too

>>714767594 (OP)
>Megaman gets a new game
>but in RE engine
It's either nothing or the worst possible outcome huh

I'm playing Mega Man 7 for the first time. One thing I don't really like is that with the right weapon, you kind of destroy the boss without having to work too hard. Do "pro players" use the buster on all bosses to make it more challenging or something?

>>714769174
Megaman 11 came out in 2018

>>714767594 (OP)
Mega Man 11 was good and I'm waiting for 12 :)

>>714782416
The entire point of using the boss weaknesses is to make them weak.

>>714782167
Ah, so you're well aware you're retarded yet you continue to act retarded? Maybe you should give Inafune more of your money to soothe your butthurt. He'll make another Mega Man game in the next 30 years. I promise.

>>714781959
Is there a shit ton of mega man games? Yes.
Do I want more? Also yes.
Not a hard concept.

>>714767594 (OP)

Yes, yes. Your personality is hoping this company you hate since that time they excluded your mascot character in MvC3 will make another game that you will surely support this time.
>m-muh 1 million copies!!!
LMAO

>>714778524
Mega Man 11's director wanted to do more and everybody's pretty sure he teased X9 with the anniversary collections, but he got sent to the Street Fighter 6 mines. He quit Capcom some time after that.

>>714768020

>>714783212
Even Konami didn't advertise or push it heavily. It was DOA before it hit the shelves. Bomberman fans deserve better.

>>714783221
Sorry anon I'm angrier about Capcom shelving their mascot because they don't want to do games under a certain budget than I'll ever be about "some artist somewhere is le troon"

>>714783859
I’ll hate both, the comics are shit anyway

>>714767957
Capcom has said this like a bunch of times since MM11's initial success becoming the best selling megaman game.

The funny part is that despite MM11's success and capcom repeatedly saying they want to develop the IP more, we have almost reached a point where MM has been dead again for the same length of time between MM10 (2010) and MM11 (2018) and MM11 and now.

Though technically the initial Megaman is dead sentiment started around 2012 when they made Megaman XOver. So from that point of time, MM has been dead longer now than during it's "dead period"

>>714783990
Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff But Mega Man is great.

>>714778743
It's so close I can taste it but it's still so far away. They ran out of shit they can actually show in dev streams without being spoilers so they're still coming up with side junk to show off. Like Axl, who was supposed to be a never-ever and even non-canon to their after-X6 alt timeline but appears nonetheless. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CcknZNAf9k

>>714784041
nah, it’s shit and not funny and neither is that homestuck slop

>>714767594 (OP)
Is there a fanbase more worthless than Mega Manchildren? Sonicfags are loud and autistic but at least they put their money where their mouths are. These retards really thought giving Inafune $3,000,000 is sticking it to Capcom. The only lesson Capcom learned here is you're a PR disaster trying to interact with you in any way while the most they can get is a day's worth of dev costs for their trouble.

>>714784263
That's just, like, your opinion, man.

>>714767594 (OP)
This lie again? They should just make Mega Man public domain if they don't intend to do anything with the series. Unironically would be a better outcome instead of them holding the IP hostage.

>>714782831
11 sold a lot and so did X collection, the BN collection also sold a lot, even after people watched Capcom blow the megaman money on gacha and consultation firm fees

We are kinda overdue for SOMETHING

And no collections don’t count, I already know BNLC came out in 2023

>>714782416
The same thing happened with X games from the start so unfortunately I think it's something the designers genuinely wanted to apply once 16-bit tech gave them more freedom for boss AI. At least Mega Man & Bass didn't have its RMs roll over to their weaknesses as easily.
But yeah, challenge runs are pretty common. I personally like to go through MM4 without charging the Buster.

Isn't finally time for us to admit that Megaman is a niche franchise and it was never as big as we thought it were?

>>714784415
He's come way too far to dumpster it again. IIRC he only dumpstered it in the first place to change NPC and X/Zero artstyles to PSX derivative SNES sprites and to change engines, second and most recent engine port was a literal port-over from... Flash, which it apparently ran on before OpenFL or Haxe.

He does have a developer team or art team along with him now and they would probably fucking strangle him if he suggested another complete do-over.

>>714782416
Some bosses are better dealt with buster because the weakness weapon might put the boss in too much hitstun or animation before becoming invulnerable again.

>>714784728
Yeah, the game was originally written in Flash, and so rewriting things makes sense there. Now it's on Haxe, from what I last checked.

>>714774861
Yeah it’s called Legends

>>714768942
Cool. Just don't shame Mega Man fans in the process.

>>714785058
why are you making shit up?

>>714784593
It was a pretty strong brand up until the late 2000s, and MM9 arguably jump-started a whole retro revival trend by itself. The problem today is that it's a franchise of compact games that has stayed that way in an industry that has since decided that's synonymous with cheap indie minigamery.

>>714784921
it might be.
Assuming each game sold on average 200k copies, that would be around 60million copies sold. That's more than all MH games combined.

Mega Man is at 43 million
https://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/business/salesdata.html

I grew up on Mega Man games, Loved Classic, X, Zero, ZX, Legends, wasn't a huge battle network fan. I loved 9, thought 11 was great one of the best, but I'm really not super interested in X9 or 12, or really any of the side-scrollers coming back. I'd still buy and play them because they're Mega Man, and like yeah I love Mega Man but it does kinda feel played out at this point and the idea of just playing another 2~4 hour side-scroller just isn't super appealing when there's about a million of these games on Steam now a lot of which are creative and trying new takes on the formula.

Legends I feel has more potential, that was like a glimpse into what Mega Man could have evolved into. I don't think the Legends games were particularly great but if Mega Man is to be relevant today I think it'd have to be more like Legends than the rest of the series. I kinda look at the other games from the NES like Zelda and Mario and see how they stayed relevant by reinventing themselves and trying to envision what Mega Man would have to look like to have games of the caliber of BOTW and Odessey, games that can sell millions in our current market and give people a lengthy and satisfying experience and well that game, the one I can envision anyway, looks the most like Legends. I could see other Capcom series like Dead Rising, Lost Planet, serving as inspiration for what it could look like. Maybe something like Vanquish too.

If I were to hop into a universe where Mega Man was still relevant and popular what would his games look like and play like? What games would it be similar to? For some reason I can't see games like Classic or X resonating with people today and selling millions. What do you think? Do you just want to see Mega Man again or do you only want Mega Man in a familiar established form? I think if Mega Man is to be successful again it would have to be in a new form we haven't seen before. I'm just interested is how you would envision this Mega Man. 2020s Mega Man.

>>714785496
Yeah, we know. Because you're retarded and gave away your money to the person responsible for killing it.

Adi Shankar and the Netflix series, he cried in a podcast about DMC5's release taking away his glory. For reference DMC Netflix took so long to come out that Kevin Conroy is a major character in it and has since died.

LMAO. Guess which one had the most? Hint: It's not Street Fighter.

>>714785398
The thing is that finance niggas only care about short term success rather than long-term sustainability. Granted what Mega Man was doing wasn't sustainable either, but simply breaking even with modest budgets doesn't satisfy the average suit.

>>714786449
Hari also bitched about him on similar grounds but I think he specifically was just being whiny about seeing an Indian character with a stereotypical and accurate, there isn't really much sillifying or misinterpreting an Indian accent.

>>714786673
I did think something was missing, not like it was a big secret that Mega Man had a ton of titles.
Kinda amusing to think that the other anon thinks that Mega Man has MOnster Hunter beat, sales-wise. There's a reason why Capcom is all in on those monsters.

>>714782282
>3D platformer like Ratchet & Clank
That would slap
I wish they took Legends in that direction. Easily the most SOVLful set of Megaman games with lovable characters and a story that lends itself to wide variety in setting, held back by stiff and janky tank controls. Even Legends 2 felt like a PS1 game with minor fidelity improvements.
They’re about 15 years late to catch the platformer gravy train though so I am not optimistic they will take that risk. Ratchet and Clank is only still relevant because Snoy pushes it so hard on their systems.

>>714774861
Mega Man is just a cool robot guy usually in blue that shoots things with energy balls. Surly it can be done in 3D.

>>714785058
I too like to tell lies on the internet.

>Classic can just go on forever because its story isn't super serious, a simple bad guy of the week (Wily Week you could say)

Three of them outside of Classic can clearly keep goin, it's weird.

>>714774861
his run & gun gameplay doesn't really translate very well to 3D
there was an attempt with X7 but it was wildly unfinished and it just doesn't work very well

>>714787058
It could work, the main issue is just getting Capcom to put in enough resources for it, otherwise they'll just keep it simple.

Battle Network 7 WILL happen, and you WILL fap to Splashwoman.exe

>>714787196
>a new villain would have to rise for each game
Cheers to Command Mission for baiting Sigma the whole game with the very physically similar and similarly named Epsilon who commands eight animal Reploids and then not only is it not Sigma, he's debateably not a villain and gets cleared of Maverick status after his death

>>714786024
>Final Megaman Classic game that actually makes a canon connection to the X series
No. They should always remain as different timelines as they've always been treated by the developers.

>>714787268
They completely wasted Zero.EXE on Network Transmission

>>714787196
>Legends still has Megaman on the moon, and we almost got a Legends 3
Then again, even Legends 2 ending implies that as soon as Data gets Roll and Tron to listen to him, they'd probably fix up a working rocket. So, Mega Man's stuck on the moon, but not necessarily forever. And what was Legends 3 gonna do? Build that rocket. Not exactly rocket science how that would've played out.
The bigger thing is that there was some hint about ancient systems, so there could be "ancient evil awakens" sorta stuff, but that's kind of standard plot.

Mind you, I wouldn't mind Legends 3, but the whole "he's stuck on the moon!" is kinda the weakest hook for it.

Hey, remember when there was that "leak" for that Mega Man Legends Collection?

But anime fans on prom-night, anon.

>>714788430
This line facinates me on so many levels. Did the western marketers just forget that Mega Man and by proxy MN9 is in fact an anime game and franchise? Why did they think that would go over well with the fanbse they're supposed to be winning over?

>>714787268
Only if it's a fish loli

>>714767594 (OP)
Mega Man simply never made a big impact in the gaming industry. That's what it is. And it doesn't help that the characters are awful. How many times can you see Mega Man ALLOW Wily to escape before it gets old? Doesn't help that we know that Wily invents that virus that kills every human because Mega Man is programmed to be an incompetent dumbass. With a hero like that not a surprise Mega Man is not popular.

>>714785102
It would be Ratchet and Clank and how well does Ratchet and Clank really sell? For years now that series is lucky if it can sell two million units per game. The formula is overdone. Mega Man copying it wouldn't really do itself many favors because it's not revolutionary anymore.

>>714782084
Every time I rape a woman I make sure to force her to ask my magic 8 ball if Legends 3 is coming out soon and the last time I got a "Outlook good" so I'm thinking we're so back legendbros

1. You've never touched a game besides the classic line before
2. You're a faggot

Either way, stop talking

>>714774861
We already have that its called Ratchet and Clank. you can even select your stage and the series has an Auto's Shop already. With a few tweaks Ratchet is literally Mega Man. Not joking remember how Mega Man has power armor what did Ratchet add in the sequels, armor. Again we already have Mega Man in gaming its called Ratchet and Clank.

>>714789183
NTA but Megaman 2 and X were the only games that actually had a big impact iirc. Nearly every game since then has been either mid or bad.

>>714789183
Fuck your mother. I'm glad your series is dead the only thing it needs is to have its corpse shat on. We need a Jewish bastardization of Mega Man created by Druckman from Naughty Dog. Yes THIS is what you deserve. Even better if Druckman convinces Capcom to waste their money chasing Druckman's expensive vision just to hurt you. Just to watch you squirm this is what you need because you deserve to be abused.

Anyone taking any stock into Pragmata being a stealth Mega Man spin-off?

>>714767594 (OP)
If Mega Man is such a BIG brand then where are the copycats to take advantage of this drought? Oh right, you don't buy those too. I'm talking about things like Berserk Boy and Gravity Circuit.

>>714785542
>MH
>120mio
I did some quick projection and all the games prior to Wilds are roughly 80mio. Even if Wilds is already at 20mio, what the hell makes up the remaining 20mio??
Stories games are I think 3mio.... I don't think the other spinoffs had notable sales I can only think of Frontier and MHO

>>714768020
wasn't the story supposed to be X goes maverick over the course of 2 games or whatever and Zero stops him in the third game. It just kind of sounds like Inafune wanted to do the original Zero 1 plot again but for real this time instead of being told to change it.

>>714789441
I'll believe it when I see it. So far seems like people are just picking up on what could just be references and running with it.

>>714789580
>Oh right, you don't buy those too
When there's 2 gazillion Megaman clones of varying quality, no shit most of them don't sell.

Dunno, not sure how much Frontier sold over its course.

>>714787642
>but the whole "he's stuck on the moon!" is kinda the weakest hook for it.
True, it's just more or less that people just didn't like L2 ending on a cliffhanger. Same with Sly 4, we just don't like our heroes not getting a happy ending.
Worse in Sly's case because the 3rd game DID end with him having a happy ending.

>>714789580
I did buy gravity circuit. It was pretty good

>>714789580
But I do actually, just the ones worth my time

>>714767594 (OP)
Capcom doesn't need Mega Man the same way Disney doesn't need Mickey Mouse. Capcom has many more successful franchises that make money. And should the day come when Street Fighter, Resident Evil, and Monster Hunter stop selling they will NOT go back to Mega Man because historically Mega Man never sold that great. Capcom if left without pillar franchises to milk will sooner either invent something new or accept merging with another company like Konami. But they will NOT make a new Mega Man. Understand how companies think.

>>714769174
CORRECT, I WANT MEGAMAN X GAMES EVERY 2 YEARS FUCK OFF AND FUCK YOU. MEGAMAN DESERVES THE SAME LEVEL OF GAME ITERATION AS POKEMON

>>714777260
The fact that Mega Man as a franchise is actually a multiverse has hurt and fractured and divided the fans. Now there's no reason to give a damn about anything that happens in Mega Man.

Mega Man is not like Ninja Turtles or Sonic where multiverses don't hurt them. They are a strong brand that can individually sustain itself on each iteration. Mega Man doesn't have that luxury. So further shrinking and dividing the fandom within a franchise that sold weakly historically is a terrible thing as it diminishes the draw and selling power overall for Mega Man.

>>714790523
Kirby characters are also blatant cutesy plushy and merchandise bait. Mega Man doesn't have that element.

>>714790523
We did, MM11 and most of the Legacy Collections are some of the best selling releases the series has ever seen.

Resident Evil is a normie series make an ugly woman, idiot loser gamers think she's the hottest thing ever, lots of guns and shooting and usually RE games end with an explosion. Resident Evil is normie trash. You really can't mess it up. Even the "bad" games like RE6 sold excellent.

>>714790991
It used to be a linear timeline besides Battle Network, but after Inafune got kicked out the sub series got further fractured by Capcom outside of direct sequels like the Zero series. Basically Mega Man got the Legend of Zelda treatment in that what used to be understood as linear is now a bunch of multiverses.

>>714778820
Way more than that actually.

>>714784356
Meh why should Mega Man be public domain? If you have the talent invent your own story of a robot boy doing whatever. For god's sake Mega Man is not the founder of this idea, Astroboy and Casshern existed before Mega Man. Just invent your own robot android character, certainly worked for Stellar Blade and Nier Automata. But do avoid shit like Detroit Too Human.

>>714767872
They tried with the first ZX game and it was a really, really bad attempt that just made the game worse.

It was never a linear timeline.
From the very beginning every Megaman series has always been its own continuity and this was already confirmed multiple times by the developers since the 90s.
And it's not multiverse shit unless they pull a crossover in a canon game.

>>714789207
That's neat, but we're asking for a 3D Megaman game, not Ratchet and Clank.

No new MegaMan games until Inafune kicks the bucket.
Nihon honor demands it

>>714791648
A real shame it kind of poisoned the well, i think a proper shot at metroidvania with X would be pretty nice. Dashing around the map is already fun.

>From the very beginning every Megaman series has always been its own continuity and this was already confirmed multiple times by the developers since the 90s.
they did a horrible job at implying that

>>714792017
The same devs did recently release Metroidvania with a X style dash, but its more of a Castlevania inspired game rather than a Mega Man one. Its their best attempt at this genre in my opinion, though I'd suggest waiting until the end of this month for the game's final update if you're planning to check it out, they had to rush it out initially due to budget constraints.

>>714792517
I still have the audio somebody made of X citing crime statistics.

>>714792732
post it

>>714792635
Yeah X5 was a mess that couldn't even transition into the Zero series right. It just goes to show that Capcom keeping each series in a self contained timeline was the smart decision compared to Inafune's clusterfuck shitshow he had with X5 through the Zero series onward.

>>714785881
I've always thought that Megaman Legends open world meme would be a hit. The setting fits perfectly for that.
Needs effort and care put into it though, and we all know that's not happening.

It has its flaws but I loved that game, played it 100% completion every few months while I had it.

>>714767872
>It's the most obvious thing to do
>They do it in ZX
>It kills both MMX and MMXZ

>>714801339
Yeah I know that's bullshit

Nice. They should do a 3D one like the 64

>>714789580
But I do actually, just the ones worth my time

>>714800981
Soon for jkb means like five years

>>714784028
>MM11 was almost a decade ago

If you get the right cybernetic augments you can honestly make a Cyberpunk character that plays extremely similarly to how MegaMan or Zero would play in a 1st person game. I know because I did it myself.

>>714793340
To be fair, Zero was pretty fucked up in the beginning of Z1

>>714798489
Trust the door

>>714793436
I straight up assumed it when X1 came out, how's it a retcon?
he was, at the time, clearly an evolution of Protoman similar to X being an evolution of Rock
of course, the fighting game revealed the truth, he's an evolution of Bass

Funny thing about all of this is that Ingrid made a comeback in Street Fighter before a new Megaman or Darkstalkers

>>714802035
See the thing is
The thing that sucks about that
Is it involves playing Cyberpunk

>>714778743
>X Corrupted
>In our lifetime

I doubt it

>>714767641
A generic story like monster rancher where you're just a random netbattler slowly moving up the ranks would be great. Raise up various navis. Maybe unique grid layouts. Overclock chips. Lots of potential

>>714778743
So is this coming out before or after the Chrono X release? Or MML3? Just trying to get a ballpark of how never ever this is

business idea: Dark souls/action combat knockoff with zero where you fight bosses with his saber. Its megaman, its JUST LIKE MY DARK SOULS :O, its a new take on the franchsie, it could test the waters

>>714787938
Not as dumb as that FE4 remake leak

>Megaman 11 is so old it came when the Switch 1 was only 1 year and a half old and the PS5/XSX didn't even exist yet.
I remember having a blast with this game at 17 and I'm confused why they haven't done anything else new-wise since then.

mega man 3 is such a jump in difficulty holy shit

>>714776423
What zoomer gives a shit about megaman?

well holy goddamn.

I miss him

>>714793331
Why all this try hard shit? Just stand on the roof of the building and shoot down at them.

>>714778524
I mean I don't care if we're up to MM14 or whatever. Just an occasional Mega Man game whether it's Classic, X, or whatever.

I'm gonna run out of Romhacks and quality Fangames eventually.

>>714767641
>battle network
your time is over old man

>>714807106
Your series floundered almost immediately cause capcom wanted to baby down a system and didnt get it really moving until the series had already tanked. Though id say it had a better send off at least, instead of BN who got it decently at BN3 then dragged through 2 more games to a half-assed end in BN6

Why wont they just remaster Megaman Legends?

Mega Man can only exist in an environment where good games are made

>>714767802
>Pragmata

So why do Inti and Capcom hate each other again?

>>714807928
Inti's gross incompetence developing MM10 and Mighty N9.

>>714767594 (OP)
>considering ways to develop it further
JUST FUCKING RELEASE MEGAMAN LEGENDS 3!!! YOU FUCKING BASTARDS!!!

>>714807928
They took Conman's side after the war

>>714807928
The worst Mega Man games are Inti creates. You tell me.

>>714807536
The Legends games did not sell well when they were released. Most of their supporters are people that pirated them later. Capcom probably thinks there is not a real audience.

>>714807928
Inti sided with Inafune.
And most Mega Man fans themselves hate Inafune, and/or don't even like/played the Zero series and ZX series, which they made.

>>714807928
Allegedly it's due to not being able to figure out how to do the co-op MM10 was originally designed for.

>>714807928
It's Japanese corporate culture. The team consisted of older Capcom employees from the 90's and the bad blood was already there even during the Zero/ZX days.

>>714793725
>Zero infected at lab
>Since already the baddest robo by design, was turned good instead.
It already made intuitive sense in a dumb kids' cartoon way, but seeing it plainly laid out in words like that is just great.

>>714808117
See, this is Inafune did what he did. He knew that revealing that a pitch for Legends 3 exists to you morons before Capcom even greenlit it meant that you would hound Capcom until they released for eternity. Inafune pegged you as nothing more than useful idiots and he keeps being proven right. What he didn't get right was that you were only in the hundreds so Capcom just told him to fuck off LMAO.

>>714767641
I wouod goon for this and I'm on day 520 of nofap

Interesting "system" there.

>>714809890
Didnt say anything about BNs system, i said it had a better send off, though maybe i should have specified story wise. BN improved system wise every game but was always fighting the limits of the GBA cart space, along with suffering the same fate as SF and basically every CC IP that gets popular; hurry up and get the next game out within a yr, ontop of post BN3 CC realizing they could pokemon their games and split their shit into 2 near identical games.

BN3 peaked as a full package BN game but BN6 is still the best mechanically

>>714807928
>>714808609
>>714808754
looking back its still fucked up they went out of their way to ask inti for help with the zero and zx collection over porting the legends games and tron bonne

Between everything like Megaman, Banjo, Starfox, Ape Escape, Chrono Trigger, etc., I gave up on revivals. Every year there are news articles about how [publisher] is considering bringing back [IP] but nothing ever comes out of it.

>>714811087
Or if they do bring it back they fuck it up.

>>714791154
I like that Axl got made to be Not!Copen, what was shown isn't entirely out of left field for Axl given his entire kit, plus Copen gameplay would be a plus on any game he's in

resident evil and monster hunter is their main priority these days

megaman never printed money like those two but back then it was at least worth the 6 months or however to shit out a new one and call it a day. if capcom can't make fat stacks it's not worth their time

Just release the StarForce legacy collection and StarForce 4 you morons

>>714781959
To be fair, Mega Man games are really short. Even on a first time, you can beat any of them in one sitting.

>>714789441
If cunny bot unearths a shota bot from an ancient capsule and they start blasting it would make me cum.

>>714767594 (OP)
I'm honestly surprised they haven't turned BN into live service slop yet, imagine all the shit they could sell you with chip gacha and the like

>>714814490
Presumably there was at one point a gacha planned given how many other gachas ended up having BN crossovers. They probably had already signed deals for them by the time the project seemingly got canned (probably due to X Dive underperforming).

>>714782595
You didn't answer the question.

>>714797057
There is no official source that the X6 Zero ending takes place right after X6. Not to mention official sources are all scatter brained and some say its an a timeline split while others say otherwise. Simply put, nobody actually knows, not even the creators themselves knew.

>>714793210
it's too unrealistic of a scenario to be worth considering. a megacorp with an IP as big as megaman is never, ever, permanently ending it. a "finale" would just be a prolonged hiatus, which megaman effectively already has through how infrequently it gets new games.

>>714815625
Are you? Only an illiterate retard could misunderstand what Anon meant.

reminder Rico is best girl

Nobody there wants to make Mega Man. The people who get hired at Capcom now are the people who grew up on the PS3/360 era of Capcom. These young guns don't give a fuck about Mega Man. And the old heads there made enough of it or resent Inafune for his actions. It's over for Mega Man. he's just there to milk for merch now.

>>714794780
>StarFox had Zero around 2016

Atchually Star Fox 2 was released on the SNES Classic in 2017, even Nintendo counts it as a 2017 game

>>714767594 (OP)
They say, as they invest $5 million more into street fighter 6 shill campaigns all across japan and the west. They gotta pay vtubers and streamers to participate in weekly tournaments of it for shill purposes. That's more important than megaman.

>>714798596
No fucking, no marrying

Only killing but in which order?

>>714816761
Nintendo also counts Sin and Punishment 1 as a 2007 game, their view on history doesn't mean much.

>>714767594 (OP)
Did we ever get a game that explains the timeframe transition from right just at the end of megaman, going into megaman X? I've been clocked out of his series since megaman zero. You could easily put a game there. Like...

"Oh megaman needs all these upgrades to fight dr.wily's latest creations, he cant hurt them, but using the "x series" upgrades hurts megaman his old robot body cant take it". there theres your next megaman game.

No before someone spergs im saying i stopped at zero, not that i stopped because its bad, its good.

>>714774861
Anon, we've had 3D shooter platformers for almost 30 years in various degrees. There's no small number of ways that Mega Man can step up to the plate, whether it be getting inspired by things like Ratchet & Clank, or more shooter focused with mobility like Lost Planet, or whatever the fuck. X7 scared them so shitless in how poorly it was handled and received that it functionally shitcanned all 3D in Mega Man from being tried again, and that isn't really fair when Legends 2 had been starting to get something decent down.

Pipe Dream: Capcom contracts the team that made Metroid Dread at Mercurysteam to make X9

It's so bizarre, making a new Mega Man game every year seems so fucking simple
Yet there are 3d games like CoD made every year that make a gorillion dollars
Are the nips retarded or what is behind this phenomenon

i think some insider leaked something about that a few years ago and nothing ever came out of it they probably trashed it

>>714820431
so megaman 64

>>714820431
The funny thing is mods for Mario 64 are actually pretty neat at showcasing the possibilities of a 3D Mega Man X style game with the controls.

>making a new Mega Man game every year seems so fucking simple
Yeah, it should have been done decades ago.

Oh, wait. They did. The term "Capcom Sequel Stagnation" was coined because of Street Fighter's and Mega Man's yearly releases and the reason why they died the first time and resurrected with 4 and 9, respectively. Are you retards new? Are you parroting some e-celeb's opinion?
>Whoa, Street Fighter died?
Yes, retards. It's almost like a paying fanbase that supports a franchise when it gets resurrected helps a company keep making new games for it.

>>714820052
At least 9 had a great soundtrack
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_K9-SwNBMSY

>>714767594 (OP)
There has to be a new approach. For the classic experience I can just check out the fangame scene or even Mega Man Maker. 8 bosses and 4 Wily stages isn't gonna cut it, anymore.

I want a third-person shooter action game with mission objectives with more objectives on harder difficulties that lead to fighting cool bosses that aren't even robot masters but can increase Mega Man's power with the rewards gained. You can still do eight robot masters, but make it so the weapons can be heavily customized that emphasize the importance of using them to push back enemies, for power, for armor-piercing, to enhance movement, and so on. Also a special prize for beating all bosses using only the Mega Buster.

>>714785058
I already have the Zero collection on my DS. Why buy it again?

>>714821169
Might as well create another subseries if they're going to drastically change the formula. They did it with X, Zero, BN, Legends, but given Capcom is now allergic to AA games, they won't make them unless they get a gorillion sales on launch day.

Yu dotto ranttu rokkuman. Yu jastu rant suffering desu.

>>714821464
I'm still an advocate for a franchise reboot at this point so long as it doesn't murder the spirit of it all. Inafune's autism isn't really something that can be easily worked around, you either have to start fresh to get some good groundwork going or you're stuck trying to adhere to old standards and lore for a dude that quit so long ago that Mega Man has had more time without him at the helm than with.

They should do a hero shooter.

>>714821169
>For the classic experience I can just check out the fangame scene or even Mega Man Maker.
Megaman 11 is better than those though. I really want Megaman 12.
I'd welcome new Megaman spinoff series though.

>>714821909
Mega Man 11 was a pretty weak experience, it's main gimmick was a glorified easy mode with the power shots and slow motion.

How close is Megaman X Corrupted to being finished? It's been over 15 years

I feel like the genre's already dead. Marvel being the one string barely holding it together. Mega Man's not bit enough, though you could do a lot of kooky shit with Mega Man characters in a hero shooter game.

or
>b.) reboot things so you can reapproach it on your own terms and methods to do as you please without being constrained by the original
It's not even strictly Inafune himself but the fact that there's an entire continuity of "solved answers" for a series Capcom clearly never wanted solved.

Literally like half of the NVIDIA leak it came from has been proven to be false over time so yeah.

Probably why Protodude doesn't even bring it up anymore when defending the low quality merch.

>>714822354
what are the odds he was the one who put it in capcom's, nvidia's and gamestop's databases

>>714820556
Considering XDive its not surprising, id say missed opportunity but im not sure how much pull that series has anymore, i know theres still a cult of pvp fans in jp but enough to market a mobile who can say

They need to reboot this shit. Nobody wants to play compilations of old games but we don't want a 69th sequel to an impossible to follow story.
Mega Man has historically always spread itself too thin, just make one new fucking game that's good and work from there.
