Next 10 years of Mega Man being discussed by "Top Men" at Capcom

[Agent D.]

....Fuck you capcom, it's Mega Man Hibiki.

I am insulted.

Edit: I take it back, it is just mega man, I am still insulted though.

I bet they thought the 3DS was too risky, with the questionable sales of the console prior to the price drop.

Bet they think differently now.

[Agent D.]

Capcom can eat my ass for what they did to mega man. I'll play the other games like resident evil and such, but what they did with him in sfxt really has me questioning that purchase now.

Notice how his name, in Japanese, is "megaman", not "rockman". :P
Obvious jab.  I think it's funny, but obviously a gimmick to lure sales.  Funny how it's working both ways with fans.

I never understood why Capcom never put X on some of their newer fighting games. Sure, they did put Zero and Volnutt on Tatsunoko but a ton of people wanted X too. Heck, He isn't even in UMvC3.

But this... is both great and terrible.

I originally assumed it was to hold him back for DLC or for the next version (if it ever happened) to drive sales for those, but now I'm not so sure.

I always found it was the "fondness" for classic Megaman that kept it from moving forward that way.  Shame, I agree.

[Agent D.]

Megaman is too awesome for his own good. That's why X never appears out of his continuity, he's even more awesome than his predecessor. Sure Zero is more powerful at first, but X....goddamn. Besides, X theme in the first game >>>>>>>>>> Zero's theme, and considering both are fucking wintastic, that's saying something.

I have decided to hold off on sf x tekken til I hear the final roster. If they place honda in it, I may get it still. Him and BBA Megaman will be my squad, and maybe kuma on my other days. I just can't understand why Capcom hates its most known icon so much lately? What did he ever do to them, besides make them money.

[Ashtrot]

He was created by Inafune. I think Capcom's still bitter over his departure.

[Yggdrasil]

Is worth mentioning that Inafune said in more than one occasion that working at Capcom (Japan) sucks and he couldn't really do much of the projects he wanted to do.

But, wasn't he at Capcom for like 25 years working there? That's a lot of time for him to left the way he did... either way all this deal with Mega Man is kinda confusing at this point. I still remember all the drama in the Internet went Inafune left Capcom and did a huge interview with a Japanese gaming site, he sounded pretty depressed at that moment.

[Kevadu]

I have a weird urge to cosplay as bad box art Megaman just because I think it would be hilarious (and I'm not even into cosplaying, really...).

Pure cheese.

[Aeolus]

So who wants to pay $4 a month for this?

[Yggdrasil]

Well, for what it's worth that is better than Mega Man X on iOS.

[Agent D.]

You can't tell but I am repeatedly hitting my head off a wall in pure disgust for what is happening to mega man. Seriously, what is wrong with people that they can't fucking release a decent mega man title? What is it, did capcom fart the part of their brain out that made a decent platformer? Make another fucking mega man rpg, command mission was pretty decent honestly. Lege....nevermind, too much heartbreak still. Hell I'll take another shitty battle network. Instead, we get solitaire.
