If you retire mavericks, they win

So why is that Capcom won't touch these series ever again and Dead Rising for that matter after Inafune departure?

>>719219340
>and Dead Rising for that matter
They made two more games and a shitty demake of the first one after Con Man left, wtf are you talking about

>>719219402
Inafune was still around during the development of 3.
Also DR4 was almost like a decade ago.

>>719219340
these series are just out of touch given the modern tendencies. I mean, this only works for Nintendo
Daily Nintendo should buy Megaman ip beggar post

>>719219497
>Nintendo should buy Megaman
This was only a good idea like 10+ years ago when Nintendo was still decent. It's too late now

X8 has WILD FANG which puts it above X4 and maybe even X6 in the top 8 X games.

>>719217098
What's a Robinwest? Is that related to Splashwo?

>>719219340
Because they confessed they will only release a Mega Man game the moment RE, MH, and SF all start selling poorly.

>>719221207
We need to collectively pirate each new entry in those series until it puts Cap "Mega Man Legends 3" com in the red.

Haha that's weird, I wonder why
Must be the same reason they also haven't touched Lost Planet.
Almost like they only exist because of one guy who was an asshole that nearly killed the company and Japanese games in general.

>>719222071
god
I love bubsy
you know what bubsy never did?
bank his fanbase's trust on the reputation of one (1) artist who wasn't even really his creator to begin with, and then grift all of his fans on a game that would have been considered shit even on ancient hardware.

Bubsy deserves his dad bod game while I just described like half of the mascots on that image. Who wants to play some Yuka Laylee?

X should have been more pissed off

Not true, that fag squad has Fairy Leviathan in it.

>>719222273
Leviathan was a battle retard. She could not be further from X's ideals

>>719217098
KEK!

>>719222225
Goodness I love Aile and her cute robotic ears and latex skin

>>719222332
She had a killer body and liked using it. It's not really her fault.

>>719222551
She has free will, it is entirely her fault

>>719222486
why did alouette grow up into such a dyke

There is nothing wrong with not recycling graphics from the literal 80s yet again. Look what happened to Megaman 10 after using classic graphics again after 9.

>>719222746
She has free will the same way a soldier in an army has free will. Do you keep following your lord commander, whom you believe is the original because you've never been told he's just a Copy, or do you join the equivalent of the Taliban and possibly suffer retribution for the fact you've killed hundreds of them?

Besides living in the middle of the desert would be hell on her soft body.

>>719218728
X preferred to be a pacifist, but he would fuck you up if he had no choice.

>>719222959
X gets a bad rap because he was a bitch in X7. In every other game he put his issues aside to save lives

>>719222245
That's what I don't get, there has to be some team in Japan that wants to make a new Megaman game, it's not like Capcom would have to throw a bunch of money at them, just make like one trailer and some social media posts and you're set. 11 had like, it's announcement at the end of the 30th anniversary video and that was it from Capcom themselves.

>>719222551
>killer body
She's literally flat and a stick, she has the body of a 14 year old boy just like Harpuia and Phantom.

>>719223006
If the remakes had trucked along after MHX, I imagine X's character would've been firmly in the "I let my guard down once, won't let it happen again" camp. At least, that's the impression I get from that Day of Sigma OVA and his dialogue with Sigma at the end of the game.
This felt like a stark contrast to what Capcom seemed to hint with the PS1 and PS2 games, even if you ignore X7. X8 he was even about to put his buster down before Axl just shot the maverick.

>>719222762
>There is nothing wrong with not recycling graphics from the literal 80s yet again.
They could update them a little, the NES graphics aren't even my favorite depiction of original Mega Man. Using the same sprite artstyle for 40 years is getting old.

>>719223018
>there has to be some team in Japan that wants to make a new Megaman game
No there doesn't.

>>719223137
Wrong
Behold, her XOver mobile sprites. She is stacked but tiny Gameboy Advance postage stamp screen can't contain her.

>>719223137
So she's peak sexy?

>>719223018
>>719223240
Yeah this
People underestimate how big of a hand Shame culture plays into everything, and what Inafune did was peak shameful. He not only abandoned his host company after running it into the ground, he immediately used his reputation at it to springboard another project that was identical to something they already make. Even IGA had the good sense to change things up for Bloodstained. What he did is seen as nothing short of Stealing.

>>719223018
>>719223240
Nobody will ever touch megaman it's poison, the person who goes to bat for making a new game would basically have to throw away everything and even then Capcom can always just say no

>>719223326
When you think about it, it was pretty devilish of him to announce MML3 before it had been greenlit by higher ups, then quit, and let said higher ups take the fall for the cancellation.

Capcom has literally no reason to make another Mega Man game when one million is considered a breakout success for the series next to the fucking gangbusters their AAA games do.

>>719222959
>>719223006
I mean X canonically won the duel against Zero in X5. If he didn't uninstall upgrades between games he'd be God by X8.

>>719223795
I think it's a matter of people expecting that Capcom still operates by having multiple smaller teams cranking out smaller games on the regular like they did during 90s and 00s. They've since pivoted into far bigger teams working on those bigger blockbusters, at which point putting staff on smaller titles would likely take away from the big stuff that needs all hands on board. And if they hire new staff, said staff likely would be put into the blockbuster teams, too.
Honestly if Capcom were to start cranking out smaller titles like in the ye olden days, I'd expect those to come from external teams and studios.

>>719219592
Their output now is far better than it was 10 years ago

>>719222131
>Almost like they only exist because of one guy who was an asshole that nearly killed the company and Japanese games in general.
Okay I am lost.
Inafune produced some good games in his time and sure Lost Planet was jank but he was not responsible for DMC, Resident Evil 6, nor Remember Me was he?

Could he still make a comeback or did he retire?

>>719221207
>RE, MH, and SF all start selling poorly.
1 more left to go then.

Real Talk, What would these games need in order to live up to expectations after so many years?

21 years, 25 years, and 18 years respectively since the last releases in these subseries storywise as of 2025.

>>719224869
>DMC, Resident Evil 6, nor Remember Me was he?
Inafune pushed for appealing and developing games the "western way", because he was convinced that Japanese way of doing things were through. These initiatives then led to games like DmC and Lost Planet 3, and left Capcom in a pretty rocky state for a while even after his departure.
Of course, I wouldn't squarely put all the blame on him because there was other fuckery going around too, like spending a shit ton of cash on Street Fighter X Tekken, which didn't pan out.
Capcom just wasn't in a good place around 2010, and I can't entirely blame them for betting on their big horses now that they're back on more stable footing in post-Monster Hunter World era.

>>719223184
>Using the same sprite artstyle for 40 years is getting old.

And now look at Megaman, he’s suffering a fate worse than death, at least in Sonic’s case they constantly evolved his 2D designs BUT, speaking of reusing things, they’ve been reusing the Unleashed model for almost 2 decades and it’s really showing it’s age.

>>719223256
Man it’s a shame these gorgeous sprites were only for cheap mobile garbage. I’m now remembering how great Secret of Mana on Mobile looked but it remains on mobile devices.

>>719223795
>"BuT mEgAmaN dOeSn't seLL wEll!!!"

My ass; MM11 ended up becoming the best selling game in the franchise and I'm pretty sure its budget was only a fraction of the development costs that are needed to create your average Monster Hunter.

Even if they sell less, they also cost less to produce; developing MegaMan games is worth it, and creating any of the long awaited sequel games would obviously be commercially viable given how many of us are still waiting for them.

You little baby boo bop.

>>719225704
>creating any of the long awaited sequel games would obviously be commercially viable given how many of us are still waiting for them
That's a trick that only works once, and not even as well as you'd imagine.

>>719225704
On the other hand, it took MM11 over a year to reach that position, when MH Wilds (in spite of its faults) broke that many times over in fraction of the time. Sure, MM11 did that on a fraction of Wilds' budget, but I reckon the profit margins from Wilds were noticeably better for a company as big as Capcom.

>>719224913
Capcom has AAA brainrot, I don’t see why a new Megaman would have to be AAA, Pretty much every famous Capcom franchise started as a low budget game and got famous before being AAA (RE, DMC, MH, SF).

No problem with them making AAA games nowadays, but they should keep doing low budget games from other franchises. That would be like if Nintendo decided: “let’s stop doing Fire Emblem, Xenoblade and Warioware since they don’t do big numbers.”
